THE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW.

That Ia what Mr.. Lester Says I'm Ref
erence 10 street Railroad Matters.
Editor Morning News: 1t Is nothing
but right that the people of Savannah
should have something to say before
any more street privileges are given to
the $4,000, 900 railroad and lighting trust
OF this city. President Baldwin Is
and to grant them, means to forever
bar another railroad from entering
Bay street, and practically kills any
further street railroad competition for
Savannah.
Mayor Myers and Mr.. Dixon say
now that they must pay for what they
get, and l want the people to under
stand that there is more attached TO
what is given to this trust under the
present condition of things than can
be summed up in the word pay. 1t Is
easy enough for City Council to grant
little turns and little switches and
short streets apparently of not much
Importance, but really means giving
up all that Savannah has to give when
inviting competition to come to our
aid.
There are all kinds of pay when you
use the simple word pay. Mr.. Dixon
and the Mayor said the city wanted pay
when i asked for Price and Montgom-
cry streets, and Mr.. Parsons wanted
to lay nearly two miles of track on
Barnard street at the same time. The
city wanted $4,000 from me and Mr..
Parsons got almost half what / asked
for, at cost of less than $1,000. So
you can see, there are two kinds of
pay depending altogether upon who is
doing the buying.
Not a single privilege should be
granted to the present railroad COM
pany until they have put down a first
class track over its entire system, and
furnished the people a first-class SER
vice through and. under no considera-
ton should any streets be given where
by another railroad cannot come into
the city.

Abel. Ga, Feb. 1.-THE fire at Adel, an
account of which was given In yester-
days Morning News, was the greatest
in it's history. Seven of the most i'm
rortant brick stores of the town were
burned, Involving loss of about $780,
600. covered by insurance hardly
amounting to $4,000.
The fire was discovered about 4
o'clock. A stiff breeze from the north
was blowing at the town, and that
fact probably prevented the loss from
being much greater. The town has no
protection from fire, and the citizens
could do nothing but move goods from
the burning buildings and then watch
the structure crumble before the fiery
onslaught
The fire is said to have caught in
the law office of Col. Jackson, In the
Kennon Building, destroying that
building and then devouring the double
structure adjoining, owned by j. t.
Wilkes and the Citizens Bank of VAL
dosta. Lamar Kennon's loss amounted
to about $1,000, with Insurance of 49,
900.
J. T. Wilkes loss $4,000, with in
suT e of $1,000.

caused much sorrow to the people.
