SITES FOR MONUMENTS.
Harlow and McLaws Memorials to
stand at Park Entrance.

Sites for the monuments to be erect
ed to Gen. Barlow and Gen. McLaws
were selected yesterday by joint COM
mittee consisting of members of the
Park and Tree Commission and that
having in charge the erection of the
memorials.
1t was decided that the monuments
shall stand, one on each side of the
Bull street entrance to the Park, in the
center of the CASTOR street walk, and
in direct line with the Bull street
sidewalk. The pedestals. upon which
the monuments will stand, will each be
of gray Georgia granite, five feet
square and nine feet high, bearing in
scriptions on the four sides. The busts
that will surmount these pedestals are
of heroic size and will give to each of
the completed memorials a total hight
of about fourteen feet.
The material for the pedestals, 1t is
said. is now here, and now that the
sites have been decided on the work
of building will be begun at once and
win be completed in no great time.

Desirable Real Estate.

About Oct those one hundred lots
between East Broad and Price streets,
extending from Gwinnett street lane
to Anderson street. and being on Boil
ton, Waldburg, New Houston, Duffy
and Henry streets, will be for sale. The
former owner of life estate in this prop
erty has recently died, and heirs are all
of age. Full information furnished on
application.
This announcement is made so that
prospective purchasers may have am
pie time to pick out such lots as they
want, and investigate title, etc, before
buying. Make up your mind as to
what you are willing to give for the
lots, because when start to sell them
l mean to sell quickly. This is the only
spot in the old city limits (north of
Anderson and west of East Broad)
where you can get half a dozen lots to-
gether at any price. 1t is the best
place in town to build medium price
renting houses. Houses built on these
lots to rent for from SIS to s25 a month
would so like hot cakes. and you can
get the. lots so cheap that you would
make from IL to Is per cent. on your
investment. 1t is really about the only
place in town where men of ordinary
means can hope to get a lot on such
terms and at a price that will enable
them to own their home.
There are four lines of street cars
running through and near these lots,
and really there has been no such prop
erty put on the market in years. 1t
will pay you to investigate thoroughly.
The last sale in this vicinity was a
block on Bolton street, between Haber-
sham and Price (half a block from
these lots), and some of them brought
over $4,000. We will turn these loose
for half that price.
Specially attractive terms will be
made to any individual or syndicate
that will take a block or more. This
is a good chance to buy something you
can sell next spring at a big profit.
You can pay 10 per cent. cash of the
price agreed on and ten per cent. a
year with 6 per cent. interest. Send

TWO FERTILIZER PLANTS.
Work on the Factories Is Soon to BE
Commenced.

WOFk on the sOoh DC
Commenced.
The Mutual Fertilizer Company is
preparing to erect a factory. The To-
cation will probably be on a tract near
the Ocean Steamship Company's
wharves, leased from the Central Rail-
way. Bids for lumber delivered at the
Central Railway yards, have been ask
ed by the company. which expects to
soon commence the erection of the fac
tory.
Work will be pushed upon the fac
tory once it iS under way. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be completed by Dec.
l. which win afford plenty of time for
the company TO do business next sea-
son. There will be no acid chamber
connected with the plant at first. but
it is expected that one will be added
eventually.
The Mutual Company was organized
some months ago. Mr.. Charles Ellis is
president. An effort was made to Sc
cure a location for the company from
the city. which was asked to donate or
sell at a low price a portion of the
waterworks tract west of the city. The
price asked. however. was too high, or
so regarded by the company. and other
sites were considered.
This means the early commencement
of two fertilizer factories at Savannah.

S. and l.. Committee After n Good
Price for Franchise.

S. and l.. Committee After Good
Price for Franchise.
The Streets and Lanes Committee of
the City Council has put no mean valu-
alton upon the franchise for a street
railway system. Inquiry yesterday
failed to discover just what minimum
price has been fixed by the committee,
to be embodied in its report to Council
but one of the members said that 1t
was a comfortable amount.
From one thing and another that was
learned day before yesterday, the
Morning News gave $4,000 as the
amount that it was thought the COM
mittee had determined upon. The
member of the committee said that
amount could not touch the minimum
price. The committee, he said, has
concluded that the franchise Council
will offer is worth no paltry sum. and
the bidder securing 1t must put up an
amount commensurate with it's value.
The alderman said that ii might be
that none of the present petitioners
would care to bid, under the terms of
the committees report. especially that
giving the minimum price. That be-
ing the case, he said. they are all at
liberty to do as they wish. There is
room for but one more system, he said,
and the franchise for 1t will be worth
the minimum price. If it iS not Sc
cured now. 1t will be later. the alder
man believes

PARTNERS AT OUTS.
knight & Jackson CarryNTheir Trou-
bIes Into Court.


Proceedings to dissolve the firm Of
Knight & Jackson and for the ap.
pointing of permanent receiver were
instituted in the Superior Court yes
terday by Joseph L. Jackson. The de-
PENDANT is E. B. Knight and it is charg-
ed that he has misapplied and misap-
propriated certain funds that belong
to the firm.
Jackson shows that he went into
partnership with Knight on Sept. ~,
1898, under the firm name of z. B.
Knight & Co., and that later the firm
was changed to Knight and jackson.
The concern embarked in the plumbing
business. Jackson charges that during
that time Knight misapplied and mis-
appropriated large sums of money, and
that on last Saturday he discovered
that his partner had used $4T5 belong
ing to the firm, The sum the plaintiff
contends his partner neglects and re-
fuses to return.
He AYERS that Knight refuses to al
low him access to the books, and that
irreparable damage is being done. He
asks that the property of the firm be
sold under an order, of court, and that
the sum realized be divided between
himself and partner. In addition it is
asked that a receiver be appointed and
that Knight be permanently enjoined
from collecting the debts of the firm or
contracting for any more goods. A
temporary restraining order was grant
ed and the case will be heard on its
merits on Sent 81

Bankers of Florida and Alabama to
BE Invited Here In June.

at its last meeting instructed its sec
rotary, Mr.. ]. M. Hogan. to write TO
the secretary of the Georgia Bankers
Association. and also the chairman of
the Executive Committee of the same

vited as the guests of the Savannah
Clearing Association.
Another matter that came before the
meeting was the proposition that the
banks charge exporters an extra days
interest, in addition to the current
rate of exchange, on all exchange pre-
sented after 2 o'clock. This matter
was left undecided. but final action
will be taken on IL at the next quar-

SHOWS GREAT PROMISE.
Everything Points TO Great success
for the stats Fair.

for the STATE Fair.
AS the Savannah Fair approaches its
opening it's affairs appear to be getting
in better shape every day, and the en-
thusiasm of it's officers and directors
increases. The meeting of the board
yesterday afternoon was indicative of
the spirit which pervades its members.
Nearly all of the directors were pres
ent.
Mr.E. J. McRee of McRee Brothers
Of Kinder Lou, Brooks county. appear
ed before the Board and stated that he
desired to know what space he could
have for an exhibition of the products
of the plantation owned by his firm,
and what it would cost. He was in
formed that any reasonable amount of
room would be placed at his disposal
free of charge.
Messrs. Mckee have an immense
plantation in which are grown all the
products of this latitude, and where
all kinds of stock are raised. 1t is
said that they can show a larger
quantity and a greater variety of
farm products, both of the field and
pasture, than any planters in Georgia.
Maj. G. M. Ryals was requested to
visit Quitman in the interest of the
Fair. The Major explained that he
was not very well, but at the urgent
request of his fellow directors decided
to go, and left by the Plant System
last night.
General Manager Moore reported
that all the buildings were virtually
finished. and that he was ready to
place exhibits. %
The race track will be ready to-day
for driving over, and citizens who wish
to try their teams around the course
are invited to do sos The clay work
on the track will be completed this
week.
The general manager stated that he
would be glad to use house flags of
business houses on the extra flag poles
Of the several buildings. There are
thirty-six poles. and the Fair Associa-
ton will need only three for it's use.
The board went over the list of IN
paid and partly-paid subscriptions and
divided it among the directors, who
will call upon delinquents, and get
them to settle either with cash or by
notes. The amount still due by sub
scribers is about $4,000, nearly all of
which is against responsible parties
Doubtless very nearly the entire sum
will be collected, as the directors in
tend to make personal calls on those
who are not square on the books of
the association.
The following gentlemen were added
to the Racing Committee: r. W. Pow
ers, James Furlong, Henry Hull and
c. E. Suits
The following directors were present:
President George w. Owens, First Vice
President and General Manager A. b.
Moore Second Vice President ID III
Levy Mayor Herman Myers, Col. ]. H.
Estill, Mr.. A. B. Hull, Mr.. P A. Sto-
vail, Maj. G. M. Ryals, Mr. Isaiah A.

PAY FOR ALDERMEN
MEMBERS OF BOARD THINK THEY
SHOULD GET So A MEETING.
THEY CONSIDER MEASURE.
PLAN is TO LET PAYMENT START
WITH THE NEXT BOARD.

Aldermen of savannah Have Never
Received Compensation for Their
Services, but They Seem in a Fair
Way TO Do SO-Members of Present
Board Advocate Such n Plan, and
IL VIII Probably be I'm Operation
for the Next Bonrd-MayOr Myers
Was Asked About the Proposition,
just at This Time.
The next Board of Aldermen that
serves the city of Savannah may be
compensated for its administration
of the municipalities affairs. The men,
bers of the present board are discuss
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of paying the al
dermen, and IL seems probable that
they will determine to fix compensa-
ton for them for every meeting they
may attend.
Mayor Myers was asked yesterday
for his views upon the matter of conf
pensation for aldermen, but he declin-
ed to give them, saying that he did
not care to express himself upon the
matter just at this time. He said that
received any remuneration and that he
had always felt a degree of pride in
the fact that they had given their serv-
ices free of cost.
The Mayor admitted that he had
heard considerable discussion among
the aldermen, and he would not be
surprised II the matter should be
6rpa1 obi Iaf fr,- ootf
will not be until the approach of the
close of the term of office of the pres
ent board, If at all, as there is no need
for immediate action.
The aldermen would not, of course,
take action that would result in their
own remuneration. They were elected
under the understanding that they
would serve the city without charge,
and none of them thinks of action that
would have an era of payment for
meetings begin during the present
term.
Three aldermen who have been asked
about the proposition to attach some
compensation to their offices have ex-
pressed themselves as in favor of it.
They are Aldermen Jones, Dixon and
Watson. They take the position that
directors of banks and some other cor
porations are paid for all meetings of
their boards that they may attend, and
that as aldermen give up their private
business in order to attend meetings of
Council and committees, that it is no
more than right that they should be
paid.
The aldermen were asked what they
considered would be fair compensation.
They agreed that something like IS for
every meeting of council should be re-
ceived. Many cities allow that amount
to each alderman for his attendance
upon meeting, and some of them
have not the population or wealth of
Savannah. Some cities are. even more
liberal, recognizing that there should
be some return made to an alderman
for the time that he gives to the direc-
ton of municipal affairs.
No great addition to the city's ex-
penses would follow the passage of an
ordinance providing for pay for future
boards of aldermen. This may be fig
ured out, as there is a meeting only
once every two weeks, save for special
meetings, which are infrequent. The
Mayor was asked about this matter Of
expense. and he said he did not regard
1t as considerable. in comparison with
the greater pay that Is given by other
cities to their aldermanic boards.

great success. A great many more par
Elephants are needed to make up the
great chorus, and boys and girls of all
ages will be made very welcome. The
expense is very small when the magni-

ard 1t is certain that the splendid drills
cannot fail to be of benefit to all who
take part.
Next Monday afternoon the beauti-
full flower dance will be organized, and
a large number of young ladies have
signified their willingness to assist.

by the public in the affair, and they
expect to realize a very handsome sum
from the production.
