PAID THE CITY A DOLLAR.
Vernon She'll Road Company For
maIIy Secured Its Option.

maIIy Secured Its Option.
Mr. Frank NJ. Oliver entered the office
Of the clerk of Council yesterday and re-
marked that he would ike to pay the
city 81. He explained his desire to give
up so large an amount by referring to
clause in the ordinance granting fran
chises to the Vernon Shell Road Com
pany. This clause demands that the
company shall make su-h a payment to
the city in order to secure the sixty days
option that is allowed the company for
the acceptance of the franchises convey
ed by the ordinance.
Click of Council W. p. Bailey Is absent
from the city, and Deputy Clerk Herman
DEE gave Mr.. oliver. representing the
Vernon Shell Road Company, his atten-
ton. MIR. Hernandez accepted the ten
der, but said that he did not know that
he was the proper Official to give a re-
ceipt for it. He said, however. that he
would ascertain to which city official
such a duty should fall, promis ng to
have the receipt sent Mr.. Oliver later.
The payment Of the dollar. It was said,
did not indicate one thing or another.
from it could neither be deduced the GER
tainty that the Vernon Shell Road Com
pany would accept the franchise nor the
surety that it would refuse. The ordi-
nance was passed at the meeting of Coun-
Gil last week, and the petitioning company
is allowed sixty days within which to
formally accept or decline the franchise.
Just what will be done cannot be'learn-
ed. Mr.. d. B. Lester, who has been the
moving spirit in the effort to secure the
new enterprise for Savannah, was seen,
but he wss not inclined to discuss street
railway affairs at all Not fore some
days. probably. will 1t be known what the
company will elect to do.

IS EXPECTED TO-DAY.
Col. Gardiner VIII Arrive to Search
for Greene's Body.


for Greene's Body.
Col. Asa Bird Gardiner. chairman of
the committee that is to search for the
remains of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, did
not reach Savannah yesterday, but ii is
expected that he will get here to-day.
His letters to the Savannah gentlemen
on the committee indicated that he would
arrive here yesterday or to-day. His
failure to put in an appearance yester-
day is taken by the committeeman to
mean that he will arrive to-day.
Col. Gardiner will probably be at the
De Soto where he will be met by the
other gentlemen of the committee, Mr..
Alfred Dearing Harden, Hon. Will m
Harden, Mr.. Walter G. Cha lton, Mr.. F.
D. Daffin, chairman of the Park and Tree
Commission, and Col. George A Mercer.
The local gentlemen of the committee
do not know just what steps will be taken
upon the arrival of the chairman, but they
expect that a consultation will be held.
The most reliable of the reports as to
the wherea bouts of the remains will be
chosen to be followed, and the first search
viii be based upon the evidence the story
may supply.
Col. Gardiner is himself a member of
the Greene family, though not descended
from Gen. Greene. He, therefore, has
more than a patriotic and society inter-
est in the search. He is president of the
Cincinnati in Rhode Island, being in that
position a successor to Gen. Greene, who
was the society's first president in Rhode
Island

YACHT CLUB WILL MEET.
Initiation Fee and Membership Limi-
tation to Come Up.

A special meeting of the Savannah
Yacht Club will be held Saturday after
non at o'clock. The meeting was to
have been held last Saturday. but, owing
to the inclement weather, a quorum of
members did not gather.
The matter Of increasing the initiation
fee from $40 to $50 will be brought up, as
will that of the limitation of membership
to $50. The club has already considered
botii-questions, and the rules will admit
of final action being taken at the next
meeting.
The annual meeting of the club falls
on next Wednesday, but there VII be
so much business before the club then
that it would be impossible TO consider
the increase of initiation fee and the linn
itation of m mbership. 1t was decided
that 1t would be well to bring those mat
tiers up at a special meeting.
Commodore W. W. Starr has said that
he will not consent to a reelection. His
service to the club has been admirable.
and he will retire after having seen it
placed upon high plane of prosperity.
1t is thought Rear Commodore Julian
Schley will be elected commodore.

former gushers in the field in the same
condition. He cited these facts be-
fore the legislative committee on rev
enue and taxation in illustration of
the position taken by the oil men that
the business is in an experimental
stage and should not have a tax bur
