I Gil for the use Of Montgomery street

That Council regards IL as useless

I tioY any further propositions"
This would seem 20 relieve Hr. Lee
I ter o. any hope he may entertain Of
/ getting franchises from the city Couu-
/ ell for nothing, or for such return as
ne has mentioned in his cOmmunfcs-
tions.
Indorsed Bridge Plan.

Z Watson and adopted, reciting that a

\ for the development Of the island for
/ commercial and manufacturing pur-
/ poses, Offering the eventual means OF

/ lima, aiding in the upbuildlng Of sa-
vannah and redounding to the inter
ests Of it's people.
The resolution provided that this
/ clerk Of Council telegraph each Of the

Automobile Ordinance Passed.
The ordinance fixing a maximum rate
/ of speed at which. automobiles may
run through the street, Introduced at
! the last meeting was adopted Alder
man Thomas suggested that il might
be well to have the names or initials OF
but the other aldermen did not seem
I TO appreciate any necessity for this
Alderman Watson offered an amend
ment, that the maximum speed allowed
| be ten, instead Of eight, miles an hour,
| and there was a second Alderman
Horrigan spoke up for eight miles an
hour, and Alderman Bacon said that
ten miles is the maximum allowed for
the street cars. As these run twenty
miles an hour, the alderman suggested
that 1t would be well to fix the maxi
mum rate of the automobiles speed
at eight miles, and that 1t might then
be possible TO keep them down to no
more than forty miles an hour.
The amendment was voted upon and
defeated. The ordinance was then put
to a vote and adopted.

The ordinance for paving Price
street, between Day and Castor, was
introduced by Alderman Watson. AL
derman Watson also moved that his
resolution to lay sidewalks on certain

done and the resolution was adopted
The proposed amendment to the anti
splitting ordinance, maging it unnec-
essary for an offender TO be warned

splitting on the sidewalks or on the
floor in public buildings, was adopted.
An ordinance providing for the OPEN
ing. improving and naming of a street
near West Boundary street was in
troduced by Alderman Thomas. The
