HEARD GROUND RENT CASE.
Matter is Now Left With the United
states Supreme Court.

The argument in the ground rent lots
case has been made before the Supreme
Court of the United States. Mr.. S. B.
Adams city attorney and Mr. J. X.
Saussy, representing the plaintiffs, have
returned from Washington. Hon. Pope
Barrow also representing the plaintiffs,
remained over, as he is to be given hear
ing in the Court of Claims in the Willink
case, whereby it is sought to recover $50,
900 from the government for damages sus-
tanned by Mr.. Henry Willink through the
operation of the harbor lines upon his
Hutchinson's Island property.
Argument in the ground rent lots case
was heard last Tuesday. 1t began about
1890 O'Clock, and, with an intermission
OF half an hour for lunch, lasted until
about 4, each lawyer speaking for about
an hour.
Interest in the decision of the Supreme
Court will be keen, and it will be eagerly
awaited. To the plaintiffs the decision
will mean much, and to the city it will
mean even more. With claims for ground
rents chat have been made in the past,
which are said to be not improbable In
the event the decision is against the city,
it is alleged that the municipality may
be called upon to refund two or three mill
lions of dollars. Many of the former
holders of ground rent lots have made
them fee simple, so that Comparatively
few Immediately concerned in the ex-
pected decision when the large number
of such holdings that were formerly held
Is considered.
1t is scarce expected that a decision Will
be rendered within two or three weeks.
The process is slow, elaboration by the
court upon arguments and briefs being
followed by the deputation of one of the
judges to write the decision.

BROKE LOCAL GOLF RECORD.
The savannah Golf Club on TO-da.
for Augusta.

Mr. Noble A. Hardee. in a practice
game of golf on the links of the Savan-
nah Golf Club course yesterday afternoon
broke all records for the links by making
the round of holes in A strokes, and
the round of IS holes in 92. The former
records for the course were 46, and 80,
these records having been made by both
Mr. Henry Blum, Jr., and Mr.. Stein
Bryan.
Mr.. Hardee's score also beats that made
by the professional, Bernard Nichols Of
Boston, who went over the links several
times while he was at Savannah a few
weeks ago. Though Willie Smith made
the round of the course in fewer num-
Der of strokes than were made by Mr..
Hardee yesterday 1t was done at time
when there were no cop bunkers, and
when he had the additional advantage of
good greens.
The team of the Savannah Golf Club,
composed of Mr.. Noble A. Hardee, Stein
Bryan. Henry Blum, c. w. Saussy and j.
X. Taylor will leave tonight for Augusta
where tomorrow afternoon II will play

TO DISCUSS BUILDINGS.
savannahians Gone to Meeting OF
University Trustees.

University Trustees.
A meeting of the Board of Trustees of
the University of Georgia viii be held to-
day in Athens. Mr.. A. Denmark and
Col P. w. Meldrim left last night to at
tend.
The principal business before the trus-
tees will be relative to the new mess hall
and dormitory that have been authorized
by the Legislature. Mr.. Denmark is chair
man of a committee that has had charge
of the arrangements for the buildings.
Originally, it was the plan TO have two
buildings, one for the mess hall and the
other for the dormitory. but designs sub
mitted by Mr.. G. L. Norman of Atlanta
were for one building, combining mess
hall and dormitory. This may be accept
ed, though the trustees will probably be
influenced largely by the advice of the
faculty. If that body decides that it
would be better to have separate build
ings, then the trustees will take the same
view, relying upon the more practical
knowledge and experience of the profess
sors.
The Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
repairs and new buildings for the Univer-
sity, and the trustees set aside $4,000 for
the mess hall and dormitory. If a combi-
nation building is erected, the results Will
be more economical and satisfactory. it is
thought. By the designs offered, $4,000
could be saved by erecting a combination
building, and the facilities would be
greater than if two buildings were erect
ed. If built with the mess hail. the dormi-
tory would have accommodations for 102
students, two in a room. while if built
alone it would accommodate but seventy
eight.
Bids for the construction of the combi-
nation building or of two buildings may
be asked by the trustees. 1t is thought
probable that the contract, if awarded
soon, could be completed by Jan. l. The
selection OF d site is also IL matter 10 be

work resulted in the recovery of the en-
CINE, which was lifted back to the lighter
from its watery bed by the crane aboard
