TO REACH THE SUBURBS
THE FIXED END THEIR AssOCIA-
TON HAS IN VIEW.

Merchants to Ask Savannah Electric
Company to Build TO White Blum,
to Make 1t Practicable for Its Res
fdents TO shop i'm Savannah-City
Council and County Commissioners
VIII BE Asked TO Grant Franchise
es to Reward COnstructiOn-Mer-
chants Don't Care what Company
Does BuiIding-StOres to Close
Early During Summer.
At a meeting of the Retail. Mer-
chants Association yesterday after
noon, it was determined to begin ef-
Savannah reached by trolley lines. The
movement will begin with a petition
to the Savannah Electric Company to
build line to White Bluff.
The purpose of the merchants is to
make it easily possible for the residents
ping in Savannah-they want to help
the city and, at the same time, help
themselves. They were all careful TO
explain. however. that they had no
preference as to which company adj
vanced this project by the construction
of the new suburban lines, but they
made it equally clear they were willing
to give their influence and help TO any
company that would.
To Appeal to Electric Company.
The merchants are going TO begin
with the Savannah Electric Company,
because that is now in The iield, but
they by no means propose to confine
their efforts to that corporation, in the
event of its officers inability to con-
slider the project favorably.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
whatever company helped the city by
the construction of suburban lines
should receive consideration from the
City Council in the matter of fran
chises, and the association decided it
would unite in petitions to Council and
to the board of County Commissioners
for the grant of such franchises as
would make the construction of a line
to White Bluff easily possible. The
merchants realize that such line may
not be Immediately profitable and con-
slider that proper method of compen-
sating the enterprise responsible for its
construction would be the grant of city
franchises.
A General Early Closing.
The association decided to take an
other important step. 1t is in regard
to early closing. The merchants are
determined to close their places of bust
ness at $3.50 o'clock each afternoon,
with the exception of Saturdays, be-
tween June Is and Sept. 10. AS the as
ISOLATION now embraces the vast ma
jority of the retail stores on Broughton
street, only few of the important ones
being nom members, this will mean no
shopping after the hour named during
the summer months and an oportunity
to the clerks to enjoy in their own
way part of the long summer days.
The meeting of the association was a
large and enthusiastic one, evidencing
healthy spirit of interest and cooper
alton. President Leopold Adler pre-
sided over it's deliberations The bust
ness before the meeting was not en-
tirely concluded and an adjourned
meeting will be held tonight, at which
1t will receive further consideration.
