Town of Warsaw Restrained in
Street Railway Tax Case.

street Railway Tax Case.
The town of Warsaw, popularity
known as Thunderbolt, has been per-
manently enjoined from attempting 10
collect a business and specific tax from
the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle
of Hope Railway.
The decision, making permanent the
temporary injunction granted by Judge
Falligant on June II. 1900, was handed
down by Judge Paul E. Seabrook, yes
terday morning. Judge Barrow had
been of counsel for the company and
was disqualified from trying the case.
The town of Warsaw attempted TO
levy and collect a tax of $500 from the
company for doing business in the
town. irrespective of the amount of its
property, and a further tax of $40 for
every car operated during the year
within the corporate limits.
Judge Falligant held that such an
exercise of the taxing power was NOT
warranted or authorized by the char
ter of the town, and in this opinion
Judge Seabrook, before whom, after
the death of Judge Falligant. the case
had its final hearing. now entirely coin
cides. 1t is believed to be probable
the town authorities will acuuiesce IN
the decision of the two jurists who
have passed upon the case, and that
no attempt will be made to carry the
case to the Supreme Court.

The trial was very much in the ma

THE KIND OF BRIDGE.
To Be Settled Now That Bill Has
Passed.


The bill for the construction of a
bridge across the Savannah river, con-
Meeting Savannah with Hutchinson's
Island, was passed by the Senate at
Washington yesterday. News to this
effect reached Savannah during the
day.
The bill went through without OPP
position, in this respect receiving the
same treatment from the upper as from
the lower house of Congress. This was
as had been expected. The fight of
those who opposed the bridge was
made before the Senate Committee on
Commerce.
The bill must receive the signature
of the President before it becomes a
law and a bridge can be constructed.
Even then a bridge must be built that
will in every respect meet with the APP
proval of the United States engineers
and the city authorities.
There has been much talk about a
bridge across the river. Some ask
why the Georgia and Alabama Termi-
nal Company cannot yield to the sug-
gestions of the opposition to piers in
the stream and construct a single span
bridge, supported by a pier on either
bank. The only practicable style of
bridge, with a single span. is that sug-
gested by President John NJ. Egan of
the Central Railway ferry bridge.
This the Georgia and Alabama Ter
minal Company has considered, but it
is not suited to its needs.
A continuous traffic bridge is wanted.
The only other possibility would be a
suspension bridge, and that would
mean a cost of a million dollars or
more, and an approach on the city side
that would have to begin about Pres
ident street and, on the island side,
reach far from the river bank A sin
gle span river, with no piers, would
have to be high above the water, so
that ships could pass beneath. A draw
or lift cannot be operated without
piers.

The 500, 900 bonds for street i'm.

accordingly. The property owners,

means the same kind of government
