THE CITY TO BUILD
The New School Building in Ward
Two.

AT meeting of the mayor and board
of aldermen last night all bids fof
building the east side school building
were rejected and the city concluded to
do the building itself. Hence it was
ordered that building committee be
appointed and proceed at once to the
work of putting the lumber on the
ground and employ a suitable man
to superintend the construction.
No time was named al to when the
building shall be completed or the max
imum wages to be paid the superintend
emf, though this can easily be settled at
another meeting.
This is considered by some practical
and businesslike plan in getting the
school building put up at the earliest
date and at the lowest figures and will
be the means of saving the city several
hundred dollars. At the same ti1e
there are others skeptical on this sub
iect and consider it rathera ri sky piece of
work, both for the city and the city
officials. They intimate that this would
be fine chance for nice deal on the
part of the city fathers if any desired to
take the chance. But while it places
them in an attitude whereby they can
be criticised. and doubtless will be, the
Progress is not vet ready to believe that
there is a member on the board who
would thus attempt to feather his own
nest at the expense of the city, or would
be willing to take the risk with the pub
lies eye on him.
1t is now expected that work on this
building will be begun in day or two
and will be proceeded with until the
building is completed. If the board bad
taken this action at first the building
would have been ready at the opening
of the school, but it is some fast work
will have to be done if the building is
completed by that time.

After digging out foundation of
about four feet deep for the Burkett
building on Front street the con-
tractor was informed by the civil
engineer that he would have to go
down a few feet further to comply
with the grade established on that
street, the only one, we believe, that
has been established in the city. The
same contractor~has the contract for
building a one-story brick on the old
Central Hotel lot and hence will
have to go down a greater number of
feet than the one he is now building
as it is on higher ground. Work on
both these buildings is now pro-
crossing, the grading on the Burkett
building and the cleaning off the
grounds of the other.

The Mobile, Jackson and Kansas
City railroad Will be completed to
this place by the middle of next
month. 1t is learned that the laying
of the rail is progressing rapidly west
of Augusta and that all the track has
been made ready for the ties. A few
more trestles remain TO be built, but
the contractors say these will be
completed in time for the rail. With
in the next few days the trestle over
Gordon creek in the corporation of
the city Will be commenced and soon
| finished. There will be four or five
more small trestles between the
Northeastern and Gulf and Ship Is
land, but 1T will not take long to
build them. The passenger trains
will take on and off passengers at the
Northeastern depot, thus making
this union depot for the two roads,
and it is supposed the freight for the
present Will also be put off and taken
on at some place uptown. The under
standing is that the company will
build freight depot just west of the
Northeastern, but it will be several
months yet before the depot is built
or the road crosses the Northeastern,
and it may never cross, though the
company owns land on that side.

and they were soon disposed of.
