Judge Witt on the Weight of Private Detec-
tives' Evidence

Judge Witt. while in a reminiscent mood
yesterday, recalled several cases he had
tried in his court in which the evidence
had been worked up by private detectives.
He SAID his experience, both as a prac-
ticing lawyer and as a Judge, was that it
was mighty nard to convict upon the
testimony of these detectives, or upon
such evidence as they might furnish. He
had nothing whatever to say against the
detectives, but simply commented upon
what was the usual result in such cases,
according to his observations.

WORK OF CITY ENGINEER.
RecOmme ndations and Reports Made
nv Col. Winu to the Mayor.


The annual report of City Engineer w.
J. VIM has been submitted to Mayor
Myers. The report embraces a number
of admirable recommendations, which, If
carried out, would add materially to the
city's interests. A great deal OF work
was done during the year 1900 by Col.
WINS department, the volume having
been sufficient to completely occupy the
time of all his forces.
in view of the improvements of va
rious kinds, progressing south Of Ander-
son street." says the city engineer, II rec
ommend the construction of a system OF
storm water sewers for that section. In
the construction of this system let each
portion be an integral part of the entire
system and be so proportioned that it will
be fully adequate to carry off the entire
amount of water, which will eventually
be emptied into it without being sur
charged.
Il make the same recommendation for
the Collinsville district and elso for that
portion of the city north of Anderson
street and west of West Broad street. A
portion of the system of sewers west OF
West Broad street could be greatly i'm
proved by remodeling. and some new
sewers should be constructed.
1T is with pleasure that 1 note the re-
lieving of the East Broad street sewer
by the connection with the Perry lane
sewer, recently made by the director of
public works. This change will greatly
relieve the portion of the East Broad
street sewer between Perry lane and
Jones street sewers, and Is what l have
advocated for a number of years. The
portion of the Drayton street sewer from
Huntington to Taylor street still needs
relief, being frequently surcharged, and
l recommend that direct outlet for this
section be made to East Broad street.
Il most respectfully urge that all cleo
trio wires be placed in underground con-
Quits. at as early a date as possible, thus
doing away with one element of danger,
as well as causing the removal Of I'M
slightly poles.
The department has been fortunate In
collecting a large amount of old and ex-
ceedingly valuable maps, plans, etc, the
loss of which would be almost irrepar-
able. In securing this collection we have
been greatly assisted by the legal frater-
nifty, who. whenever they have become
away of a valuable map, have placed us
in connection with the parties controlling
same. from whom we obtained copies.
These maps are daily consulted by those
interested. 1 would respectfully suggest
that this department be authorized to
employ some additional competent as
sistance to make copies of them. so that
the originals may be stored in the vault"
The rest of the report deals with sur
Veys. street lines. grades and lanes and
other matters falling within the province
of the city engineers department.

REPORT ON PUBLIC WORKS.
Costs and other Facts of Department
Given by Director Gadsden.

Given DN
The report of director of public works
George NJ. Gadsden, was completed yes
terday, after a great deal of labor had
been expended upon it, and handed into
the Mayor.
The report covers the several depart
ments embraced under the management
of Mr. Gadsden, and shows what was
accomplished last year by each.
The entire expenditures for the year
were $29S, GIL. S8, which was in excess of
the appropriation as the appropriation
was $247 $50. The greatest excess in any
one item of expense was street paving,
but as the city is reimbursed by property
owners to the amount of two-thirds the
total cost, the excess is only apparent.
The appropriation for street paving for
the year was $4,000 and the apparent
excess was $13, 49S. SO.
The additions to the paved streets dur
ing the year amounted to 1872 lineal feet,
divided as follows; President, Cts; Bull,
$50; Gwinnett, 1887; New, 800. In the city
limits there are 8.76 miles of streets and
% miles of lanes, of which 26 So miles are
paved. The cost of repairs to paved
streets was $97S9.94 with the average
cost per square yard as follows: Asphalt,
.O5 cobble, oil; granite blocks, .OOS:
brick, .007; shell, .023; gravel
and ebert. .0019 During the year
47,45O bushels of shell were used, costing
$1,526.7O.
The total number of catch basins
cleaned was 6O31. at a cost of $4,315.65
From them 6,165 loads of waste were re-
moved. Twenty-one new catch basins
were put in during the year, making a
total at the close, of 925. Exclusive of
the housedrainage system, there are
now in Savannah 1872 miles of sewer, an
increase over 1899 of 1854 feet.
One hundred and fifty-eight sidewalks
We're repaired during the year at a cost
of 1.296 A. More sidewalks were proba-
bly, laid than in any other year, save
1899. The total expenditures for side
walks for the year, were $2l, 10, while
the bills credited to this department for
the year amounted to $21, 5S4 %.
The report deals at length with house
drainage. showing a clear statement of
just what has been accomplished. The
director closes his report with a recon-
mendation that the following streets be
paved: jefferson with vitrified brick,
from Henry to Forty-second street; Thir-
ty-eighth with vitrifed brick, from JEFF
fcrson to Bail street; st. Julian from
Randolph to the Bilbo Canal, with Au-
gusta, gravel, to replace, the old plank
-oad which costs in repairs alone, $500 to
$500 per year.

The funeral of Mrs. N. B. Lee, whose
death was announced in the Morning
News yesterday, took place at $3.50 o'clock
in the afternoon, from the family resi-
dency No. 21O Taylor street, east. 1t was
largely attended the house being filed
with friends of the bereaved family.
The services at both the house and grave
were conducted by Rev. Bascom Anthony
of Trinity Methodist Church, and were
deeply impressive.
Among the bereaved relatives who
gathered about the casket were none to
whom deeper sympathy went out than
the aged husband, who had been the
partner in joy and sorrow for more than
half a century of her whose remains
were about TO be committed to the earth.
The services at the grave in Bonaventure
Cemetery, were simple and brief-a pray
er and benediction. On the mound were
placed the floral offerings, memorials by
loving friends to her, whose life and
virtues they commemorated.

INF1RMARY,s GOOD SHOWING.
Annual Meeting and Reports of th'
Board of Trustees.

The annual meeting of the Board of
Trustees of the Georgia Infirmary was
held yesterday afternoon in the Office of
the secretary and treasurer, DR.. T. ].

nual report of DR.. Charlton was read to
the board, and President Gilbert will use
the data in making up his annual report
to be sent to the mayor and aldermen.

his annual report
After some discussion it was decided not
to fill the vacancy on the board caused
by the death of DR.. William Duncan, and
this matter will be taken up at a future
meeting. A committee was appointed to
draw up suitable resolutions touching
upon the death of former associate and
friend of the trustees.

hourishing condition Jan. l, 1900, there
were only thirty-eight patients; 636 were
received for treatment during the year;
497 were discharged as cured and 142 died.
Particular attention is called to the fact
that forty-seven patients were carried to
the infirmary in moribund. which reduces
the mortality to H.O7. Fourteen births are
reported for the closing year of the nine
patients received in one month was fifty,
and the smallest number twenty-five. The
report shows that the list of patients rep
resent 10, 302 days in the hospital.
The report of the treasurer shows that
II required $7,287S9 to run the hospital for
the year. This included salaries and in
fact every expense. A handsome X-ray
machine was purchased during the year,
and helped to swell the figures. Electric
shower baths are frequently given for
chronic headaches and other like ailments,
and the new piece of medical apparatus
is quite an addition to the infirmary.
The annual election of officers was held
and DIR. Charlton was made medical di-
rector, Mr.. NJ. S. Baker taking DR. Charl-
toms place as secretary and treasurer.

the clerk that the collections from stalls
were not as large as for 1899, due to the
fact that stalls for which the clerk for

revenue derived from them was account
ed for through the latter's office.
