DRAINAGE COMMITTEE coNsuLTs.
Several Matters to he Disposed of BE-
fore Council Meeting.

AT a meeting of the drainage committee
yesterday afternoon matters pertaining 10
changes in The house drainage system were
discussed. There were several petitions be
fore the committee for attention some Of
which asked that digging lie stopped
around their property.
Among the petitions was one from the
Mutual Gas Light Company asking that
no digging be done on Bay street adjacent
to its property. 1t was feared the wal 3
would be weakened, it is stated. and that
serious damage might result No action
was taken on the petition
Another matter which is giving the com
mittee trouble at present is the running of
sewers through the lanes in COllinsvllle,
in accordance with the plans and specid-
cations as submitted by the house drain
age engineers. The plans specify that The
sewers shall be run through the lanes.
1 mis- is impossible at present, however, as
the city does not own the lanes or at least.
some of those through which 1t is intended
the sewers shall go. Engineer Chapman,
in a communication sent Council from New
YORK Rle time ago. asked mat steps be
taken TO acquire this lane property. or that
the house drainage plans be changed. 1t
is not desired to change the plans, 50 that
the main question for the board now is the
requirement of the property
1t has been suggested by some, in view
of the claim that eXorbitant prices are
being asked for the lane property, that
the plans be changed so that the sewers
will run through the streets. This can
not be done without great expense and
inconvenience TO property owners, it is
stated, as it has always been contemplate
ed to make the house connections at the
rear
Besides these matters the committee
had others referred to il in connection
with the West Broad street sewers. 1t
may be there will be another meeting for
the purpose of winding up these matters
before the meeting of Council Wednesday
afternoon.

Director e. }. Thomas Says Policy of
Street Railway Is Fair Pay.

Judging from the view local street rail-
way officials take Of the New York strike
it is not likely the motormen and conduct
ors of Savannah will soon have any reason
for deploring a cut In their wages. A
cut will probably be one of the last things
the local street railway people, say they.
viii attempt.
Mr.. e. J. Thomas, director in the street
railway company and its engineer, said
yesterday that the policy of the company
toward its employees is very liberal. He
thought President Parsons would be
averse to any cut In the scale of wages,
preferring to make any needed retrench-
ment along other lines. He thought the
other directors, with possibly one or two
exceptions, were of the same opinion. Mr.
Thomas said a cut had never been men
toned at any meeting of the board of di-
rectors and he thinks it is by no means
within the range of possibility. The con-
ductors and motormen now get about $3.50
per day.

TWO MAGNIFICENT TARPON.
Result of Mr.. DuckwOrth's Skill at
Captive Pass.

Two rare specimens of the fnny tribe
are on exhibition in the rear of Duckworth
& Co.'S office on Bay street. The speci-
mems are of that kingly race of fish, the
tarpon, and are about the best of their
kind ever seen in Savannah. The fish
were caught at Captive Pass. Fla, last
April by Mr.. Hubert Duckworth. They
We're handsomely mounted and made a
splendid appearance. The specimens are
male and female, the male being about .
feet inches in length and the female 6
feet 3 inches. When caught the two fish
weighed about 125 pounds each.
The tarpon are the largest of the game
fish in American waters, and are favored
by sportsmen who love a prize that has
to be fought for. Mr.. Duckworth has
reason to feel proud of his skill. The eX-
hibition is one which no one else in Savan-
nah can equal at present.
