The buildings on the land were sold at
auction, but when the purchaser was re-
fused permission by the city council TO
move the buildings. he refused to pay
the purchase price. and although suit
was brought to recover the amount. on
recommendation of the committee on
pending suits, later litigation was with
drawn.
PROPERTY OF NO PROFIT.
Thus 1t will be seen that in all these
years the land and buildings have been
lying idle and utterly unproductive. for
under the condemnation proceedings.
which were for specific purpose. the
committee on city property did not feel
buildings for any purpose whatever.
The resolution instructing the city So
licitor TO apply 10 the General Assembly,
which was introduced In the board OF al
dermen recently. is really intended to
secure such legislation necessary to au-
thorize the committee on city property to
take such steps in relation TO the prop
erty that IT may deem most advanta-
geous.
II is. OF course, hardly probable that
the houses on the land could readily be
let for residential purposes, without the
outlay of large sum OF money on the
part OF the city for needed repairs. paint

sidered a paying investment

The corner house Is really fine resi-.
dence. but the location today Is not by
any means as desirable as 1t was some
years ago, and 1t is doubtful IL II could
be leased or let on any satisfactory
terms.
LAND SHOULD BE SOLD.
Several members of the city council
who were seen this morning, said that in
their opinion the best thing to be doae,
and the only proper thing to be done. was
for the city to secure the necessary leg
islation from the General Assembly, so
that the committee on city property can
sell the land outright.
Years, they say have gone by. and moth
ing has been done with the land and
nothing whatever indicates that the land
will be needed, and II Is astonishing how
many hold to this opinion.
The resolution passed by the school
committee last evening, however. states
that there is pressing necessity at the
present time for the use OF said property
for school purposes"
Whether this is or Is not fact remains
TO be seen, but up to the present time mo-
body can be found who knows what this
pressing necessity" is, and among those
questioned are several members of the
school committee.
The only building that could be extend.
ed or enlarged TO take In this land In the
Manual Training high school building,
and nothing is known about any plans to
enlarge this structure. which as q matter
of fact is quite large enough for the press
ent needs.

WAS THE ENGINEER ASLEEP
Strange stories Developing About
wreck at BIaden.

Wreck at biaden.
Brunswick. Ga. July 3.-The Bladen
wreck, recently reported, is developing
some interesting stories. Glynn's grand
jury will give them all full investigation
and act accordingly. 1t is understood
here that Engineer Bradford, who was in
jured severely. had been on duty twenty
nine hours with practically no sleep, and
il is the general accepted theory that he
was asleep when he struck the Plant Sys-
tenn train at Bladen crossing. The negro
fireman killed was resting at the time,
a substitute having been employed to re-
lieve him temporarily on the run. This
substitute was thrown from the engine
and escaped injury. The fireman was on
the seat and was pinned up against the
boiler and killed. The engineer was pin
toned under the engine and it took forty
five minutes to dig him out A steam
cock above his head was broken off. but
fortunately it was so broken that the jet
flew into the air over his head, otherwise
he would probably have been scalded to
death.
To those familiar with the details it is
inconceivable that any man could have
missed seeing either the big water tank
at Bladen or the train of cars that was
passing slowly directly across the track
of the flying freight The facts as they
appear TO be coming out show up badly
for the engineer and the Seaboard, while
there is unquestioned evidence that the
Plant System train had tracked the law
by stopping when it reached the crossing.
