TO CUT THE ISLAND
WESTERN PART WILL NOT BE IN
CLUDED IN CITY EXTENSION.
THIS ABOUT AGREED UPON.
MAINTENANCE of Low LANDS
MIGHT COST MORE THAN TAXES.

Meeting of the City Council This Az
ternoon-Interested Property Own
ers May Attend, as Meeting is CAL
led to Hear Objections They May
Have to Offer to the Proposed Ex-
tension-Rather Generally Accept
ed That There Will be IN Term of
Years of Exemption From Taxes.
Possibility That Some Populous
Suburb which Proposed Line
Crosses May be EnticeIy Taken in.
The question of extending the city
limits will be brought up at special
meeting this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock
by the City Council. The meeting will
be held in the Long Room at the Ex-
change, and will be open to any who
may be interested. Property owners
who may be affected by the proposed
extension requested that the meeting
be held in order that they might have
a chance to be heard.
A member of the board of aldermen
said yesterday that he did not think
there would be very many property
owners, representing lands to be taken
in, present at the meeting, as it is pref
ty generally understood that there will
be decision reached to exempt the
new territory from taxation by the city
for term of years. This term will be
five years, in all probability.
The western part of Hutchinson's
Island, which was to have been in
cluded in the extension, according to
the report of the Special Committee
that had the matter of the new limits
in hand, is not to be taken in. There
seems little doubt about that, a practi-
cal agreement to that effect having
been reached by Council in caucus.
Planters creek, therefore, will be the
western boundary on Hutchinsons ISL
and, instead of a continuation of the
straight line that is to take the place
of the present broken line on the west
of the city. The Mayor and two or three
Aldermen have expressed themselves
as opposed to taking in the western
part of the island, as that would mean
no material benefit to the city, as the
lands are low and marshy. The city.
one Alderman said, would have to
maintain banks about them to pre-
vent their being flooded with water,
so that the expenses would be in ex-
cess of the taxes derived from their
lIlCOIpOLdLAOu.
BY striking off the western part of
the island, the plan for straight line
boundaries on the south, east and west
and natural boundaries on the north
would not be interfered with, for the
limits there would be defined by the
banks of streams. On reaching the
Savannah river, the western line would
extend across to the south shore of
Hutchinson's Island, run along that
shore as far as Planters creek and
then follow the creek to the north
shore of the island, which would be
the northern boundary of the city.
1t is possible that some further ex-
tension than provided for by the re-
port of the committee may be made.
An alderman limited at such a possi-
bility, though he would not say just
where it was to be made. It is sup
| posed, however. that he meant that
the line would be broken where it
crosses some populous suburb in order
to take in all, instead of only a part,
of the settlement.

George w. Haight, arrived in the city

has worked on it, will be the best mile
ring in the South.

Adkins says that he was employed
as laborer by the Commercial Fertil-

habit of spending his dinner hour near
the company's works with fellow labor

the time allowed each day. The rail-
way company's tracks were between
the house where Adkins ate and the
mills.
The man alleges that he started for
the mills when the whistle sounded,
and that he found freight train on
the tracks which he had to cross. the
train was at a standstill and he waited
for several minutes for it to move.
When he found that the FIVE minutes
were fast passing he started between

the Street.

Harry Mack, through his next best
friend, Lemon A. Mack, began ac-
ton against the Savannah, Thunder
bolt and Isle of Hopt Railway Com
pany claiming $500 damages. Mack is
years of age, and claims to have been
injured on June Is last, while on a Bat
terry Park car.
1t is alleged that the boy and sew
eral companions were invited to change
the seats of the car when it stopped at
Battery Park, and their compensation
was to be ride to Anderson street.
The plaintiff says that there is sharp
curve at the turn in question, and that
the servant of the company who had
employed the boys to turn the seats
had agreed to safely conduct them to
and put them off at the corner.
1t is alleged that Mack stepped on
the running board just before the cor
ner was reached, intending to get off
the car when it stopped. 1t is averred
that in place of stopping the car as it
was his duty to do the servant of the
company went around the curve rapid
ly, causing Mack to lose his grip on
the hand rail and hurting him to the
ground with considerable force. 1t is
alleged that the boy was badly
hurt by the fall, and that motorman
and conductor continued without even
stopping to see what damage had been
done.

Fortune Jackson, sentenced to serve
three years in the penitentiary, were

woman named Hager Robinson in Lib
erty street lane. near East Broad

the convict camp when the guard ar
rived. Jackson was found guilty of as
sault with intent to murder and was

sisting of the surgeon of the post, DIR.

lenged the Savannah team, Capt. j. c.

now.
Three matches have already been
shot by the two teams, the Savannah
