MONEY FOR INFIRMARY.
Various other Matters Considered
by Council.

by Council.
A report from the Committee of the
Whole was received, advising an ad-
ditional appropriation of $50 a month
for the Georgia Infirmary for the sec
ond six months of the current year.
This report was adopted. Cap II. c.
Cunningham had appeared bee the
Committee of the Whole to urge the
granting of the. infirmary's petition,
which had been for $1OO a month for
the entire year.
Rather contrary to the expectations
of some, a favorable report was made
by the Committee of the Whole upon
the petition of Mr.. J. H. McKenna,
who wanted authority to build two
encroaching bow windows at Whitaker
street and Oglethorpe avenue lane
This report was adopted. The windows
had already been constructed, Mr.
Kenna having been a little previous,
but this fact was probably response
bic for his petition being granted. The
windows do not interfere with traffic
but overhang the property lines.
Upon the petition OF Messrs. YOU
mans and Demmond, asking that, in
the event of paving Abercor street
the city see that the street railway
tracks are in its center, the Streets
and Lanes Committee reported that at
tention would certainly be given the
matter in the event the street is paved
An adverse report was brought in
by the Streets and Lanes Committee
upon the petition of Mr.. J. F. Emery,
who wanted compensation al 35 cents
a cubic yard for sand he had contract
ed to deliver to the city, but which the
city had not received. The committee
informed Council that Mr.. Emery had
been unable to deliver the sand. The
report was adopted.
Against Garbage Dump.
At the preceding meeting President
w. w. Mackall of the Savannah Union
Station Company had presented a pc
tition, directing the attention of Coun-
Gil to the Objectionable dumping of
garbage near the western limits of the
city. The Streets and Lanes Com
mittee, to which the petition was refer
red, reported that the matter was then
receiving the attention of the commit
tee. An adverse report was rendered
by the committee relative to the Pc
tition of the company for the estab-
lishment of two electric lights in front
of the station. for the reason that
there are already enough lights in that
vicinity
". B. Jones, a member of the fire
department, had petitioned for the pay
ment of bill of 5000 to DR.. A. A. Nor
rison, who had treated him for injuries
received while in the discharge of his
duties. The Fire Committee recon-
mended that $25 be appropriated for
this purpose, and the report was adopt
e.9.
Permission was granted the Gorrie
Ice Company to establish an acetylene
gas machine at its plant, provided it
conformed to all the regulations.
A petition from Mr.. j. S. Schley, for
the estate of James NJ. Schley, was re-

and referred to the committee.
Messrs. George T. and j. r. Cam
and others submitted a protest against

zine of the glue works, west of the
city. claiming that the stencil was dis
agreeable and that pestilential odors
were menace to the health of the
