DRYEST YEAR IN THIRTY-oNE.
The Rainfall Nearly 30 Per Cent
Below the Normal.

Inc AtAln1aH NearAy 40 Rer cent.
Below the Normal.
The year which will close with to-
day will have been the dryest in the
history of the Weather Bureau. Up to
and including yesterday the shortage
of rainfall was t4:9S inches. AS the
normal rainfall for to-day is II of an
inch and as the weather, according to
predictions, will be fair, the year will
really show shortage of over Is inches
of rain. AS the normal rainfall for the
year is 51.91 inches, it will be seen that
the shortage amounts to nearly 30 per
cent of the normal fall for the year.
Up to yesterday the year also showed
a deficiency of temperature, the
amount up to s o'clock last night being
491 degrees. This, too. is rather I'M
usual, as such a shortage of temper
allure. while it has occurred before, has
not been recorded in many years.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was So degrees. and occurred at l
o'clock, p. m, while the minimum was
az degrees, and was registered at s
a. m. The mean. As. was 2 degrees be-
low normal for the day.

LOSS MAY BE GREATER.
Firemen, However, Answered Many
More Calls During 1901.

Firemen, However, Answered Many
More Calls During 1901.
The loss by fire during the year end
ing tonight will be as great, if not
greater, than that of 1900. The annual
report of Supt. Mcguire will show
however, that the department has been
more efficient than it was during the
previous year, and the fact that the
loss has been as great, or little more,
does not in itself show what the de-
partment has done.
The loss from fire during 1900 was
the smallest in twelve years, and I'M
less there is a serious confagration
during to-day or before midnight the
department will make a very credit
able showing even against the record
breaking year before. Many more
alarms have been sounded during 1901
than during 1900. and the sounding
of every alarm means some damage.
During last year 225 alarms were
sounded and the loss for the year was
placed at $41,S37. The number of
boxes sounded during the year ending
to-day will be nearer 800. The fire.
men have answered in the neighbor-
month, and while in many cases the
damage was almost insignificant, it
makes the loss column larger.
The fire on Thirty-eighth street, near
Water road was accompanied by a loss
of about $4,000, and will go against the
record for the last month of the year,
despite the fact that the dwelling and
barns had almost been consumed when
the flames were discovered. The prop
erty. too, has only been quite recently
taken into the city limits and there are
no hydrants in that neighborhood.
Supt. Mcguire had to run a line of
hose from East Broad street, almost
half a mile from the fire, and an en-
CINE had to be used to produce press
ure enough to carry the water to the
fire. This section of the city that now
is has been building up rapidly and
large amount of valuable property
was in danger from the flames.

Abraham J. Garfunkel was elected a
member of the City Council at a spe-
cial meeting of the board yesterday
afternoon. His election was to fill a
Alderman W. c. Fripp.
Mr.. Garfunkel was the only nominee.
There was opposition to him, but it
was not of sufficient strength to result
in an opposition candidate. Recogniz-
ing this, they discreetly refrained,
simply voting a blank ballot.
The race between blank" and Mr..
Garfunkel, as the word and the name
of the nominee were called by Clerk of
Council w. P. Bailey. who acted as
teller, was close, and it was a matter
of doubt for a brief space of time in the
minds of the UNIV .se as to which would
win. Five and five the votes stood at
one time during the count, but the next
two ballots were read for Mr.. Garfun-
KEEL, and he was duly declared elected
by Mayor Myers.
Alderman Fripp resigned by letter,
in which he set forth that the demands
of his business are such as to prevent
him from devoting the time to the
city's affairs that is required in the
proper discharge of the duties of an al
derrnan. His resignation was accepted,
and Alderman Colding moved that the
Council go into an election Immediately
to fill the vacancy. He considered that
just as wise a choice might be made at
that time as by waiting.
The Council had been in caucus. and
the matter of succession to the vacancy
had been thoroughly discussed. 1t was
known what candidate the majority
proposed to put in, and the opposition
TO him showed its hand when the sub
ject of the election was preached by
advocating delay. Alderman Frank
moved to postpone the election. This
was in the nature of substitute to the
motion already offered by Alderman
Colding, and was voted upon first.
Alderman Colding asked for the aye

favor of the election being then held,
were Aldermen Colding. Dixon Horri-
gan, Thomas, Holland, CAVITY and

Alderman Franks motion were him.

That Were Issued.

The record of building permits for
1901 in the office of the Board of City
Tax Assessors shows that there has
been considerable activity. though the
record of years of the immediate past
has not been surpassed. There has,
however. been enough building going
on to keep the contractors busy, and
architects say that there is much more
some of it of Importance, to be started
in the near future.
For the year, July led in the number
of permits issued. During that month
there were sixty-four permits given
out from the office. December has
shown the smallest number. there hav-

A CARD FROM CARNEGIE.
Asks Mayor for Information Upon
Free Library Question.


A card was received by Mayor Myers
from Mr.. Andrew Carnegie yesterday.
which goes further into the matter of
public library for Savannah, which
is a gift that Mr.. Carnegie, apparently
would like to make to the city If the
city, on its part, should contribute to
the maintenance of the library. The
card was probably in response to a let
ter written Mr.. Carnegie not long since
by Miss Maude Hayward.
Miss Hayward visited New York last
spring, and while there she set afoot
the plan to induce Mr.. Carnegie to give
Savannah public library. Action was
taken by the City Council expressing
its willingness to receive such a gift
for the city, and Mr.. Carnegie was
asked to name the terms upon which
it would be made. He went abroad
soon afterwards, however, and no re-
ply from him had been received until
the card of yesterday, which was prob
ably ELECTED by Miss Heyward's letter.
Mr.. Carnegie asks that the Mayor fill
out blanks that were left for answers
to questions. The questions asked
were as follows:
Town; population; has 1t a library
at present? How housed? Amount
taxes PAID Dy community yearly for
its support? Amount guaranteed from
taxes yearly if building obtained? Is
requisite site available? Amount now
collected toward building?
1t is scarcely likely that the gift. il
it is accompanied by a provision that
the city make an annual appropriation
for the maintenance of the library, will
be accepted by Council. Mayor Myers
has been quoted by the Morning News
upon the matter, and his opposition tc
accepting the library. should il have
a provision of that nature attached
is well known,
