TO DECORATE COURT HOUSE.
Contract for Interior Decoration
Awarded to william Taylor.

COhtEact lOr Interior decoration
Awarded to william Taylor.
The contract for the interior deco
ration of the Court House was award
ed at special meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners held yester-
day. The successful bidder was Will
liam Taylor, who offered to do the
work for $1.7S0. This was the lowest,
and, in the opinion of the commission
ers. the best bid.
There was half a dozen bidders for
the privilege of doing the work The
bids ranged in amount from that which
was accepted to 81, 700, the highest bid
being 60 per cent. larger than the
lowest
The scheme of decoration of the Court
House has been fully described in the
Morning News. 1t is a much-needed
work, as the building has received
practically no attention since its cree
ton. What little work has been done
has been of the most casual and cur
sorry description, designed merely to
repair the ravages of the storms that
in the past decade have swept over
Savannah.
The successful contra ctor will begin
work on the building as soon as prac-
ticable, and the job will be completed
during the summer months. When it
is completed the interior of the Court
House will be as handsome almost as
that of any building in the state

TO DISCUSS TRANSFER RATE.
Board of Trade VIII Hold Meeting
This Week.

A meeting of the Savannah Board of
Trade will be held Thursday morning
at II o'clock at which time an effort
will be made to induce the change by
the Railroad Commission of the state
of the present rule regal ding the trans
fer of freight cars from the terminals
of one railway to those of another.
The present rule has been the occa-
sion of much dissa tisfaction. The rule
provides for a fiat payment of 81 for
every car moved, which the Savannah
men most largely interested in freight
charges in and about this city regard
as excessive.
For three or four years an eIort'
more or less spasmodic and Intellectual,
has been made to induce the Railroad
Commission to abrogate the objection
able rule. Individual business men
have written letters and made argu-
ments. but their efforts have not been
attended with any appreciable degree
Of success. Savannah, because of the
large transfer business in cotton, naval
stores and lumber, is particularly in
The continued objection has produced
one result at least, for the commission
has formulated a tentative rule and
invited comment and discussion of its
provisions. A meeting of the commits
sion is to be held in Atlanta on Friday
June y. and the Savannah Board of
Trade, in connection with other COM
mercial organizations in every part of
the state, has been invited to send rep
resentatives and make suggestions as
to the terms of the proposed change
in the rule.
The rule which the commission has
formulated ard which it is proposed to
substitute for that now in effect is as
follows:
Any carrier which has supplied the
car for the movement of freight may
assess freight thereon for any distance
as if for five miles. Where no one Of
the carriers interested has furnished
the car and such car is moved not ex-
ceeding three miles over the line of
one or more roads no more than two
dollars per car shall be collected there
for, regardless of weight or contents
OF the car, and this to include the
movement of the empty car in the op-
poslte direction, except where an out
going shipment is carried on beyond
the three mile limit by a connecting
line. Said two dollars per car to be
equitably divided between the partici-
pating carriers.
Provided. that a carrier receiving or
participating in any charge for the
transportation of such shipment pre-
Vious or subsequent to such three-mile
movement shall receive no part of the
rate for the service last named"
While this suggested rule does not
altogether meet the views of the bus
ines smen of Savannah it is usually
regarded as a very marked improve
ment on the present rule.
There will be full discussion of the
matter at Thursdays meeting of the
Board of Trade. In addition to the
members of the board special and ur-
gent invitations to be present have
been sent to the representatives of all
the lines of railway entering Savannah
and to every business man particular
ly interested in large freight shipments
and the transfer of cars from one
point near the city to another. Repre-
sentatives to attend the railway COM
missions meeting will probably be
named.

TO MOVE GARBAGE By CARS.
This Plan May BE Adopted by Streets
And Lanes Committee.

The Streets and Lanes Committee
of the City Council is making arrange
ments for the removal of the city gar
bage by means of electric cars. Pres
ident George ]. Baldwin of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company, had a con-
ference yesterday with Alderman Wat
son. chairman of the committee, and
it is not improbable that an agreement
will be reached.
The plan is to have the scavanger
wagons load the garbage on cars at
designated sidings at designated hours.
The cars, when loaded, would run sew
eral miles from the city. and dump the
garbage. 1t is probable that it would
be carried to the county farm, as the
county commissioners would like to
have it for fertilizer
President Baldwin said after the con-
ference that the matter has not been
settled. He quoted no prices to the
chairman of the committee. but merely
discussed the feasibility of the plan.
Specially constructed cars would have
to be used, and sidings would have to
be built at the dumping grounds. He
does not doubt that such an arrange
ment could be carried out.
The city garbage is now dumped on
farm lands west and south of the city.
Complaints about it have been made
by people living within range of the
obnoxious odors that arise from the
garbage piles, and petitions have been
addressed to Council requesting that
the garbage be dumped elsewhere. It
would be great expense to the city
II teams should have to haul the gar
bage a considerable distance from the
corporate limits and the plan of dis
posing of it by street cars is under
consideration

Imprisonment was filed by William Jor-
dan against Cad Bryan in the office
Of the clerk of the City Court yester-
day The plaintiff is a minor and sues
by his next friend, w. A. Carter.
Jordan was taken along on a fishing
trip, of which the defendant was the
head and the inspiration, and upon the
return of the party to Thunderbolt
was charged with the theft of some
money, arrested and locked up in Jail.
He says he was kept two days in the
lookup, suffering all the time great
mental anguish and undergoing every
physical discomfort, the latter due to
the filth and dirt of his place of i'm
prisOnment.
He alleges that the Imprisonment
was false and malicious and that he is
entitled to damages in the amount
claimed. The plaintiff is represented
