Construction Gang of Savannah
Electric Company VIII Be Put to

Things VIII BE Gotten in Shape
For the Handling of the City's
Garbage by May 1-Curves Being
Laid at Barnard and BroughtOn
streets-ResOrts VIII Be in Full
Blast i'm May, and Vaudeville VIII
Be On at the Casino.
The building of track down Rob
erts street to the old crematory is be-
ing finished by the Savannah Electric
Company's construction force and
when the large garbage cars that are
being built for use in this city have
been finished. everything will be in
shape for the hauling of the garbage to
the county farm.
These cars have been promised for
delivery by May l, and it is thought
that the first one will be completed
next week. AS soon as this car is
built Manager c. B. Kidder will go to
Baltimore and inspect it. He expects
to receive word about the middle of
the week, and will leave Immediately.
If the first car comes up to all of the
requirements the other cars will be
built at once, and Mr.. Kidder can see
no reason why they should not be in
Savannah on May 1.
The work on Roberts street will be
finished this week, and probably on
Monday the railway company's gang
will start building the trestle from
the Isle of Hope line to the dump on
the county farm. In the neighborhood
of 800 feet of track will have to be
laid at this point, but all of this work
will be finished before the arrival of
the cars that will be used in conveying
the city's garbage from the loading
point at the crematory, to the dump
ing point on the county farm. About
$500 feet of rail has been put down
on Roberts street.
Putting Down Curves.
On Monday the curves that will be
used on Barnard and Broughton streets
will be put down, but the change in the
manner of running the Abercorn and
Barnard belt and Whitaker street cars
north of Broughton street, will not be
made until curves have been put in at
Broughton and Whitaker streets. 1t
will take two days to do the work at
Barnard street and it will be week
or ten days before the curves for
Whitaker street will arrive. Manager
Kidder expects to have matters in such
shape that he will be able to make the
change in the runnings of cars around
the City Market by April l. The cons
templated change has already been told
of in the Morning News, and it is ex-
pected will result in a better service
being given on the Abercorn and Bar
nard belt.
AZ the Resorts.
Nothing definite has yet been done
by Manager Kidder with reference to
the resorts, but it is expected that
these matters will be closed during the
coming week. Mr.. Alex M. Barbee will
look after the patrons of the Isle of
Hope line, and is hard at work on his
new restaurant and dancing pavilion.
The Casino is being gotten in shape,
and the grounds are being made more
beautiful. Manager Kidder is now ne
gotiating with first-class vaudeville
performers, and the patrons of the Ca
sino are promised a treat with vaude-
vile during the sultry weather. Work
on the bandstand is still going on, but
it will not be finished in time to be
used for the concert tomorrow. The
carpenters will probably complete their
work during the coming week.
