view of inducing them to contribute to the
fund that is to be raised to prosecute the
plans for improvements in the way of

generally.
Mr.. Lazaron and others expressed the
view that the movement is by no means
dead. but that only proper efforts are
needed to make it successful. The mutual
interests of the people of Savannah, those
Of Tybee, the proprietor of the hotel and
the railroads all demand the improve
ments, and Mr.. Lazaron insisted that
the appreciation of this would be followed
by immediate and strong financial sup
port

NJ Egan of the Central Railroad, show
ing that 1t is the intention of the Central
to build a pavilion at Tybee for the use
of it's patrons Mr. Egan wrote that the

event of their taking trip to the island.
