READY To TALK BUSINESS.
Suburban and West End Line Again
Proposes Compressed Air.

The City Council has two petitions before
IL from the Suburban and West End Rail
road, submitted atsthe last meeting. One
asks that a specific tax of $500, paid under
protest last year, be refunded, and the
second asks, that a committee be APP
pointed to hear what The company has to
say on the subject of opera ting its cars by
compressed air.
For the last few months the company
has been seriously considering the adop-
tion of compressed air as a motive power
FOR its cars. BY this it is hoped to obtain
some concessions from Council in the way
of franchises and the object of having a
committee appointed, is 10 see what assur-
ances of a franchise viii be offered. The
company has asked to extend its lines from
the terminus at the city market out Bar
nard 10 Jones, and along Jones to East
Broad street. A protest from Jones street
residents laid the application temporarily
on the shelf.
The Suburban and West End means bus
mess, however, and hopes to come to some
understanding with the committee. Both
petitions went TO the committee of the
whole.

dividends each year. Whether the policy
is fully paid up or only for one hundred

are reliable provisions against hard times

BULL STREET EXTENSION BEGUN.
Sidewalks Are Going on Grass Plats
on the Main Boulevard.


The extension of sidewalks 10 the curb
ing on Bull street from Bay to Castor
was begun yesterday. Contractor Barker
is 10 extend the walks on the north size
of Bull street, between Bay and Bryan
and expects to close contracts shortly for
new walks in place of the anuquated flag
stones facing the Pulaski House and the
Western Union Telegraph offices. 1t IS
not believed there viii be any delay IN
making the extensions all the way to Gas
ton street.
Director Gadsden sent out notices to
properly owners several days ago TO pro-
coed with this work. This is not always
the custom, but the ordinance was silent
as to the time within which the work was
TO be done, leaving the notices 10 be sent
out by the director on instructions 10 do
so from the street and lane committee. The
extensions are 10 ne made oniy on the
lots fronting on the boulevard, The trusa
lots, or those that set on either side Of the
squares, not being referred TO in the orol-
nance.
When ii was last proposed to cover the
narrow space for grass, the objection was
raised that II would interfere with the
growth of the trees. which il was claimed
could not get enough water. Members Of
Council say this matter was fully consiG-
ersd before the passage Of the present or
Chance was decided upon, andtthe conclu-
saoh was reached that the trees would not
want for nourishmenL Aldermen say the
space left for grass was always bare, and
for this reason they thought it best TO have
the walks extended which it is believed
will add to the general appearance OF the
street.

1900 COTS FOR VETERANS.
That Number shipped 10 Charleston
From savannah.

The veterans who desire to attend the
Charleston reunion next month need not
hesitate for fear of exorbitant charges.
Savannah has supplied the deficiency in
the way of sleeping arrangements. Maj.
James +. Pitcher, surgeon in charge of
the army medical depot here, shipped to
Charleston yesterday 1,5CO fine cots. The
cots were shipped to the entertainment
committee in charge of the Confederate
Veterans reunion in Charleston, a re-
quest having been made upon the medical
department for this number of cots.
The shipment made no impression upon
the large supply Of cots in the stock of
the medica! depot here, as the depot has
several thousand more on hand, which
could doubtless be obtained by applca ton
to the proper authorities. 1t might be a
good idea for the Charleston committee
to apply TO the quarteTmaster general for
a supply of tents for use during the re-
union and thus avoid all possibility of a
lack of accommoda ions.
1T just shows what Savannah can do
in the way of helping Charleston out when
the occasion demands" said Maj. Pitcher
yesterday in speaking OF the shipment of
cots

WATER COMMITTEE TO DECIDE.
VIII Meet to Make Recommendations
on Water Meter Question.


The water committee Of Council will
meet in the next few days to discuss
the meter question. which it seems is to
be seriously considered. BY resolution Of
Alderman Thomas, the committee is to
be ready 10 report to Council insde Of a
week. so that the board may not be delay
ed in taking such action as may seem
proper
If meters are recommended. it is stated
the committee will likely suggest that they
be gradually introduced, so that there will
not be great strain on the people. There
is no doubt with some that meters can be
obtained which will accurately record the
amount Of water consumed. This Will
have much TO 90 with the success of The
movement. 81 the results obtained from
the first ones placed will have much 10
do with tho purchas of others.
There seems to be no doubt that the first
question the committee viii consider in
connection with a reduction of the present
waste is the removal of all hopper and
globe valve water closets, which run con-
SANITY. and are said to waste as high as
1000 gallons Of wafer daily. There are said
to be about Zoo of these closets in the
city. Just now their removal viii be effect
ed cannot be told, but il Is not probable
that an effort to get them all out at the
same time would prove successful That
part of the plumbing ordinance that came
safe from Wednesday nights shake pro-
vides that when it becomes necessary 20
remove these closets other kinds must be
used In this way they are being gradual
iy removed and replaced by modern flush
tanks.
Mayor Myers does not seem TO care a
great deal about what view the politicians
take of the meter matter, as the City
Council will likely do what it thinks best.
They are being heard, however. and il
would not he surprising for the aldermen
TO find literally signed protest from pol
iticians against the passage of any legis-
lation that win throw obstacles in the way
OF their future successes.

Commissioners Graham and White
Put That value on the Property.
The station property at quarantine has
been appraised by Alderman Graham, act
ing for the city, and DR.. j. H. White
acting for the government at 100000, which
is the amount asked by the special com
mittee of Council. which had the transfer
in charge. 1t was stated In the Morning
News yesterday that this sum would prob.
ably be the valuation put ca the proper
ty.
Mayor Myers has the report in his Of
flee, but says il will not be ready TO send
to Washington to be filed with the other
transfer papers before tomorrow or Mon .
day This is on account of the absence
of Alderman Graham, who is in Macon
attending the sc mi centennial of the Geor-
gia State Medical Association. He VIII
sign up the report on returning, after
which it will be sent on for filing with the
other papers The permanent transfer of
the station to the government means that
the city will get this amount at the end
of two years.
There is no perceptible change vel in
the management of quarantine. One fea-
ture that pleases many is the removal of
several important jobs from city politics.
About a dozen men go under the federal
governments jurisdiction.

Here May Make the Choice.
Lieut.. G. b. Pritchard, Jr., is having very
fair success with his recruiting Office. Since
its establishment he has not failed to send
on one or more recruits daily to join regu-
lar army commands. The number in one
day has several times run as high as six.
It Is the desire of most of those who en-
list with Lieut.. Eritchard to be sent to the
Philippines. Not long since an order was
received to stop enlisting for the Philip
pines, but Lieut.. Pritchard advised that
tehre were still a number of applicants for
enlistment provided they could be sent to
the islands In answer he received Il tele-
gram authorizing him TO enlist good re-
cruits ana send them TO San Francisco di-
rect, where they will report to the com
handing general of the department of
California at the Preside.
Lieut.. Pritchard has also been instructed
to discontinue sending recruits TO Column
bus barracks, bus 10 send them to Gov
errors Island, N. Y, whence they will be
sent to Cuba or Porto Rico, according TO
choice. No coioref recruits are received
now for any other command than the
