NEGRO BOY PUSH CARTS.
Menace to All Sorts of Travel on As
phaIted Streets.

One of the nuisances that drivers BIZ
cyclists and pedestrians have to contend
with on the asphalted streets is the home
made push cart of the negro boy, an affair
all the way from four to ten feet long
and made of a board fastened between
two pairs of baby carriage or some other
wheels. The owner of these vehicles gives
them a push and jumps on behind and
rides as long as the momentum lasts, with
out any particular regard as to direction
or the surroundings.
If horse and buggy or bicyclist or
a pedestrian is about the push cart is
give a shove just the same and every
body and everything else has to look out.
A number of accidents have occurred re-
Gently as a result of these nuisances. Peo-
pie who use Drayton street have to dodge
half dozen 90 a dozen of them at al
most all hours of the day between the
Bay and Anderson street. From the num-
Der Of the carts 1t would seem there is a
factory for them somewhere. Their man.
ufacture is one industry that Savannah
viii not seek to encourage.

City Has Not Determined Upon Its
Rights in the Matter.

Rights in the Matter.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that he had
not yet investigated the extent to which
the citys revenues might be benefited
by the recent decision of the Supreme
Court declaring unconstitutional and void
the act by which the telegraph, telephone
and other corporations have avoided To-
cal taxes upon their plants and other
property, by making certain returns to
the controller general through the re-
ceivers Of tax returns.
THE city has always derived a consid-
cradle revenue from these corporations by
means Of special taxes" said Mayor
Myers, land / do not know that we have
anything to complain of on this score
The corporations may have protected
themselves against an emergency of this
kind by making nominal returns each
year which were accepted by the city.
The matter will be looked into of course"
Mr.. J. II. II. Osborne, clerk of the
Board Of Tax Assessors, said that the
board had not been advised of any
changes required in taxing corporations
as the result Of the recent decision of the
supreme Court. He did not think there
was any disposition to demand back
taxes of the corporations which have for
the most part cheerfully complied with
the citys tax requirements in the past.
