NEW ROAD TO BEAULIEU.
Commissioners Provide for COnnec.

Commissioners Provide for COnnec-
ton With Montgomery Road.
The County Commissioners, at their
June meeting yesterday, passed an or
der providing tentatively for a public
road connecting Beaulieu with the new
Montgomery road. The order will be
made absolute at the next meeting of
the board, unless objections are filed
and sustained by property owners in
interest before that time.
The reviewers appointed at the last
meeting of the board, consisting of
Messrs. I. j. Davis, Albert Wylly and
Hal H. Bacon, had declared il to be of
public utility and marked out its course
and bounds. 1t will extend from the
eastern end of Depot street, at Beau
lieu, in nOrthwesterly direction to a
point $40 feet south of the eleventh.
mile post on the Montgomery road. The
right of way for the road has been Sc
cured and in the event no objections
are tiled-and none are probable-the
work of opening it will be begun i'm
mediateiy after the July meeting of the
commissioners.
Another step towards the develop
ment of Beaulieu and it's facility of
communication with the city was the
authority granted by the commission
ers to the Georgia Telephone COMPANY
to string line of telephone wire be-
tween that point and Montgomery.
along the right of way of the present
public road. 1t is provided in the or
der that the work shall be done under
the supervision of the county superin-
tendent of public works and roads, that
poles shall be placed only in such
places as he designates and that the
company shall furnish at its own ex-
pense an inspector, to be appointed bv
the county, who shall see to it, in the
superintendent absence, that his or
ders are carried out. The county fur
Their reserves the right to string on the
poles such wires as it may hereafter
use for its own purposes
The report of Superintendent Chaplin
showed that a large amount of drain
age and road work had been done by
the convicts during the month of May.
During the month n 900 linear feet of
old canals and bitches had been slush-
ed and 1880 feet of new bitches had
been cut. During the month $500 linear
feet of road had been paved with
shells, 5000 feet on the Beaulieu road.
Much work had been done
at 1ybee and a. force
of convicts is still there.
During the present month repair
work has been done on Dale avenue
and Waters road, both of which have
been placed in good condition. The
difference between Dale and Estill av-
enues, which are combinations of
each other, is readily perceptible. Es-
till avenue has passed under the con-
troll of the city and the difference in
the condition of the two roads does
not rebound greatly to the city's credit

missioners contracts for county sup
plies for the ensuing three months
were awarded as follows: Salt meat,
to the S. & S, Beef Company; bread,

The new building of the National
Bank of Savannah will be ten stories
high This will be two stories higher
than the Germania Bank building,
whose eight stories would make it
higher than any building in Savannah.
President Herman Myers of the Ma
tional Bank was asked yesterday about
the building plans. He admitted that
the bank is negotiating for the owens
property at Bryan and Bull streets.
Although ne did not say so. II is be-
lieved that the negotiations will result
in the purchase of the property. The
bank will then consider the plans for
the building it will erect.
How high will the building be-" Mr..
Myers was asked.
1T will scarcely be less than ten
stories" was his reply. Il think there
is need for as large building as that"
A ten-story building will give Sa-
vannah a sky-scraper.
The era of tall buildings in Savan-
nah seems to have arrived. The Citi-
zens Bank was the first in
recent years to erect a com
mercial building higher than four
stories. Its present building at Dray-
ton and Bryan streets is six stories
high. For years the Morning News
building, with six stories. was the tall
est building in Savannah. The Citi-
zens Banks proposed new building
on Liberty street will be five stories
high. The Germania Banks proposed
building at Bull and Congress streets
will have eight stories. The National
Banks ten-story structure will head
the list of tall structures.
The fact that there is demand for
buildings of this class is the best evil
dence of the business growth of the
city. With the Germania and Ma
tional Bank buildings on Johnson
Square, almost facing each other, there
will be ample supply for all demands
for offices which is not now met.

jointly the building proposed for the
lot at Montgomery and Thirty-first
streets, which was secured some time
ago for that purpose.
The decision not to assist in the
erection of the new building and af-
terward occupy a part of it was made
by the Kings Daughters. They have
applied to Council for a lot of their
own; if their petition be granted will

None of the members of the Kings
Daughters would say yesterday what
has led to a change of their plans,
but from other sources it is learned
that they object to the title under
Thirty-first streets is held. They had
supposed that they had at least a half
interest in It, but learned recently
that the lot is granted for a kinder
garten and other charities" This the
Kings Daughters, so the story runs,
considered too vague title. and so
have decided to build Independently.
1t is probable that Council
when the matter of granting
the petition is brought up. will re-
quest a statement from those most
prominently interested in the Day
Nursery and the story will then be
made public.

PLANS FOR BIG BUILDING.
Were Frustrated by the Refusal of
One Man to Sell.


Because of the refusal of one man to
sell his holding, a plan to erect a bust
ness block at Congress and Drayton
streets was frustrated some time ago.
The plan was a comprehensive one, and
was for buildings to cover that por-
ton of the block from the Screven
House to Drayton street and from
Congress street to Congress lane.
Mr.. j. Sognier, who owns the proper
ty at the corner of Drayton street and
Congress lane, refused to sell. Mr..
George j. Baldwin of the Savannah
Electric Company secured options
upon all of the property save Mr.. Sog-
nier's.
II CHANGED that Mr.. Rivers had not
long before sold Mr.. Sognier his hold
ing Within a few days after this sale
had been effected, Mr.. Rivers offered
Mr.. Sognier a profit of $1,000 on his
purchase, but the offer was declined.
The entire block was wanted, SO Mr..
Baldwin gave up his project.
The Offices of the Savannah Electric
Company and those of the Mutual Gas
established in the buildings In fact,
there was little doubt in Mr.. Baldwin's
mind that he could have found tenants
for every building. He figured that
such a block as he expected to erect
would make the locality a popular and
important one for business.

TWO OFFICERS DISMISSED.
Policemen LimehOuse and GOdbOId
Discharged From the Force.

Discharged From the Force.
Police Officers z. ]. Limehouse and
A S. Godbold were dismissed from the
police force yesterday by Mayor Myers.
The reason for their dismissal was that
they kept too little curb upon their
tongues. and made statements that, in
the opinion of the Mayor, made it to
the interest of the force and of the city
TO dismiss them.
officer Limehouse was tried for al
legged statements that he had made
about six or eight months ago. long be-
fore he went on the force. There were
fourteen witnesses in the case, some
appearing for and some against Lime
house. These witnesses were Superin-
tendent of Police Reilly, Officers God
bold. Umbach, Lakewood, Sergt.
Fleming. Detective Wall T. J. Dun
ham and Messrs. Mckenzie, Slater.
Taylor Cox and Ferguson.
In his statement officer Limehouse
declared that there was absolutely no
truth in the charge that was made
against MIN. He had not made the re-
mark accredited to him upon his own
authority, he said, but had stated that
he had read in a book that such was
the case. The Mayor thought that he
should not have even repeated 4.
officer Godbold repeated talk that he
had heard about officer Iimehouse.
who went on the police force only
about a week ago, having previously
been in the fire department. The Mayor
decided that Officer Godbold should not
have made such a statement, even if
it were common talk. or that, if he
did, it should have been in the way of
a complaint to his superior officer.
The case created a great deal of in
terest about the City Exchange. 1t
lasted for more than an hour. In dis
missing the men. the Mayor issued the
following order to Superintendent
Reilly:
I'm the case heard by me this morn
ing the fact was clearly shown that a
number of the members of the Iolice
force are guilty of gossiping about
their brother officers. of carrying tales
about each other, and repeating stories
without knowing themselves whether
they are true or not. Such conduct is
calculated only to stir up strife among
the officers and ruin discipline and
weaken the effectiveness of the de-
partment.
You will accordingly notify the en-
tire force that from this time on any
police officer guilty of gossip.ng about
his fellow Offcers win be placed on The
docket and, if found guilty, dealt with
severely. L is the duty of an officer
when Informed of any offense a fellow
officer is charged with tc report The
same to You or the sergeant on duty
in order that a docket case may be
made. and not to repeat wnlt he has
Ees rd to the other officers and to the
pll lie generally.
You will please impress this upon
the entire department."

Avery.
The funeral of little Clare Avery,
whose death was announced in the
Morning News yesterday took place at
o'clock in the afternoon at the home
of her parents, No. 613 Barnard street.
The services We're largely attended
and were deeply affecting. The parlor

amid masses of beautiful flowers, toR-
ems of love from those who had known
Clare in life, We're thronged with sor-
rowing friends. Seldom has there beer
seen such a wealth of flowers on a sim
liar occasion. Rich designs and banks
of roses were everywhere. One, a
chain of bouquets of white roses linked
with green, extending entirely around
the coffin bore the names of the little
tets who had danced the Umbrella
Dance with Glare at Miss Suits soiree
two weeks ago. Not only was the cCf-
fin almost hidden from sight, but the
mantels and tables were covered with
flowers.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Charles H. Strong of ST. Johns
Church. There was scarcely a dry eye
in the room during the prayers and
with the notes of the funeral hymn
Lead, Kindly Light" sung by Mrs
Crittenden and Mrs. Alderman, came
deep sobs from those to whom the lie
that had gone was dearer than their
own.
After the benediction. the hymn
Asleep in Jesus" was sung, and the
little draped coffin was lifted and borne
away. The pail bearers were Messrs.
w r Stiilwel1 7 II Elton, n u nm
lap and w. H. Robertson. At the grave
in Bonaventure the burial service was
read by Mr.. Strong. and Good Night"
was sung. The grave was then filed
and the mound was covered with flow
ers placed by loving hands
