PROPERTY OWNERS APPEAL.
CLAIM FOR RENTING INTEREST
on PAVING BILLS PRESENTED.

Attorney j. r. Saussy's Argument Be
COunciI-City Attorney Adams
Opinion Against the Legality of
Remitting the Interest Also Sub
mitted-The Committee viii Sub
init "A Report to Council, But What
1t Will BE Is Unknown.
The disposition the City Council will
make of the petition of the Liberty stree,
property owners to have the interest on
paving claims RENTED was probably de-
termined by the finance committee last
night. 1t is stated the committee will
prepare a recommendation, which will be
submitted at the next meeting of Council
Just what position is taken in regard
to the matter is not known, but acting I'M
der the opinion of City Attorney Adams
the Council cannot remit the interest, even
though there is an inclination to do So
Mr.. Adams advised that the interest is
part of the adjudicated claim for work
done by the city, and that the board
petition invokes.
All the members of the committee were
present at the meeting, with the excep-
ton of Alderman Charlton, who is out
of the city. The meeting was principally
for. the purpose of hearing Mr.. J. r. Saus-
sy in behalf of the petitioners.
In his argument, Mr.. Saussy empna-
sized the fact that the petitioners had
every reason to believe they were acting
fairly, and to tax them with interest be
cause they endeayored to secure what
they thought were their legal rights is
more exacung than thee circumstances
warrant.
Mr.. Saussy argued at some length in
favor OF the petition, speaking of the va
ried decisions of the Supreme Court on the
same subjects, which he said caused the
petitioners to carry on the fight more ag-
gressiVely. He gave an instance of a
church In Atlanta which refused to pay
certain paving claims, and when the case
went up, ii was affirmed by the Supreme
Court. Later on there was another similar
case, he said, which went up on about the
same state of facts and was reversed.
Hence he said the petitioners had no rea-
son for believing they were wrong, mas
much as the case had already been decided
in their favor.
Alderman Thomas, chairman of the
finance committee was seen after the
meeting, but had nothing to say as to what
report will be made. He said the matter
will be submitted at the next meeting of
Council, however. and that a just recon-
mendation will be made. A considerable
portion of the paving claims have been
paid, he said but there is a large num-
Der still due, some of which are against
wealthy property No intimation
was given as to how the committee stands,
as Mr.. Saussy retired after presenting the
petitioners side of the case, and the al
dermen talked the question over among
themselves.
II is -intimated that there are several
members of Council who favor renting
the interest, and in the event the finance
committee recommends against 1t, those
favoring the petitioners may carry their
point. They will have to do this in the
face of Mr.. Adams opinion, however, that
Council has no right to remit the interest.
This may prevent the aldermen from
granting The petition. even should they
feel inclined to do so.

GRAND JURORS STILL AT IT.
Investigating Road Construction and

Investigating Road Construction and
incidentally the shaving of Orders.
The grand jury is still at work investi-
eating the conduct OF, the business of the
county commissioners as a result of the
charges made by ex-Commissioner William
Kehoe.
Among the important witnesses it has
recently examined in regard to the cost
of the gravel used on the roads, in the ac-
counts for which Mr. Kehoe asserts there
are serious discrepancies, was Judge Eve
of Augusta, president of the company
furnishing the gravel II Is said that
Judge Eve furnished many figures bearing
on the questions in dispute, and that his
testimony Will have considerable weight
with the grand jury. Friends of Mr.. Ke-
hoe assert that, to some extent, at least,
it sustains his charge that the road ac-
counts are not what they should be-
Another matter that the grand jury is
said to be looking into is that of the shaw
ing of orders for money due from the
county for labor or supplies. This, it is
claimed, had grown up into quite a profit
able business with one or two county sub
ordinate employees. For the convenience
of getting money early, or whenever
wanted, some people are said to have been
willing TO allow liberal discount
The grand jury is expected to be at this
work for some time yet. Its report is ex-
pected to be very exhaustive, and whether
the charges are sustained or not there will
be considerable Eight thrown upon the adj
ministration of county affairs, and the
public will be given a somewhat better
idea of how its money is expended.
The committee will take a trip to-day
over the roads to ascertain the depth of
the gravel, which is one of the matters in
which there is considerable interest. The
probability is the committee will examine
the roads at different points, and see for
themselves what gravel is there, without
relying on the testimony of others.

The Fourth Regiment of United States

army corps, got a warm reception in Sa-
vannah last night.
The first battalion rolled into the Plant
System depot at o'clock in two sections.
The men were supplied with coffee at The
depot, but some few managed to get over
the fence and quench their thirst with
more active shmulants near by. Hundreds
Of people gathered in this vicinity of the car
shed and cheered the soldiers. The noise
could be heard for blocks, and drew many
others to East Broad street to find what
the sensation was.
A third section of the train arrived at 9
o'clock and another near 10 o'clock. There
was ample coffee for all the men and no
abatement to the noisy enthusiasm of the
residents of that section of the city and
Of the troops.
The regiment, like several others, IL
falsely called 'immunes." The men jok-
ingly term themselves "immunes," while
admitting that there is no meaning in the
name. Many of the men are from the
District of Columbia or farther North,
while large proportion hail from the Old
Dominion.

NOT FOR THE COURTS TO SAY.
The Department of Justice on Reeve

The Department of Justice on Reeve
nue. stamps for Express Receipts.
The Attorney General of the United
States has ruled that the attitude taken by
the department of justice with reference
to the question as to which party, the
shipper or the express company, under the
war revenue bill, is required to furnish and
pay for the revenue stamp which is re-
quired to be placed upon the manifest or
bill of lading, is that this is a matter en-
tirely between the shipper and the COM
pany.
The department holds that so far as the
government is concerned if Is only inter
ested TO know that the lawful tax Is paid.
AS between the shippers and the express
company, the Attorney General has decid-
ed that the matter is not within his prov
ince OF consideration, under any case that
has yet arisen.
The United states district attorneys are
instructed that in controversies arising
between the shippers and the express COM
pany as to which one shall bear the eX-
pense of the stamp the government has no
direct concern under the war revenue law.
