MAYOR MYERS PLAN
A POPULAR ONE.
Sewerage system Plays Important
Part in Grade Crossings.

Sewerage system Plays Important
Part in Grade Crossings.
1t appears certain that the first ques-
ton that will be considered when the
representatives of the city, the Sa-
vannah Electric Company and the At
lantic Coast Line hold their con-
ference for the purpose of considering
the matter of grade crossings, will be
the feasibility of depressing the Coast
Line tracks and having the railroad
run under the streets of the city.
The plans of Director of Public
Works Gadsden for changing the sew
erage system of the city makes this
practicable, whereas under the present
conditions it would rot be possible be-
cause of the Bolton street sewer. But
neither is the tunneS1S of Gwinnett
street feasible with the present sewer
age system, and in either event the
Perry lane sewer would have to be
constructed. At the conference the
situation will probably be considered
as though the ideas of the director of
public works, with reference to the
sewers, had already been carried out.
Mayor Myers plan to have the rail-
road company lower its tracks is a
popular one and will be given careful
consideration.

Fifty-ninth Congress convenes, and
when a new administration will go in
to power.
Col Lester began his service as a
congressman on March 4, 1889, and has
served continuously since that time
He is a member of the committees on
Rivers and Harbors, and Expenditures
in the State Department, two very i'm
portant committees. AS a member of
the Committee on Rivers and Harbors,
and he is the only Georgian on this i'm
portant committee, he has been in a
position to do much towards securing
deep water for Savannah. AS
member of the committee he
would prove of great value in carrying
out the project looking towards the
securing of a thirty-foot channel for
Savannah at mean low water. 1t was
due largely to the efforts of Col. Les
ter that Savannah received an appro-
priation for the building of marine
hospital and that she has one of the
handsomest postofice buildings in the
South.
Congressman Lester was born in
Burke county, on Dec. II, 1887, and
graduated at Mercer University TWEEN
ty years later. He was admitted to the
bar in Savannah and began the prac
tice of law in 1889 In 1861 Col. Lester
enlisted his strength with the Confed-
crate States and remained in the serv-
ice until the close of the war; when he
resumed the practice of law. He was
state senator from the First senatorial
district from 1870 until 1879 and was
president of the Senate during the last
three years of his service. He was
Mayor of Savannah from 1888 to 1889
when he was elected to Congress, max
ing him, with the exception of three
years, in public service for thirty-three
wears

Voyage on the Daisy.

An interesting story may develop in
Police Court this morning when James
Galloway and William Carroll, both
white, will be arraigned before Re-
corder Myrick for the theft of boat
from the brig Daisy.
The men were arrested early yester-
day afternoon by Patrolman Z. f. Da

brig. The men regularly signed with
the vessel and accompanied 1t outside
No advance money, however, was Civ
en- to the runner who got them to sign,
although it would have been sent to
him by the pilot boat il the two men
had remained on the brig.
Galloway and Carroll were left on
watch on the brig while she was an
chored off Tybee. They took a small
boat at that time and put out for the
beach. There they tied the boat and
yesterday morning came to the city by
rail. The master of the Daisy had
gotten word to the city and he caused
the arrest of the two men who had
deserted him after signing papers. Just
what the object of the men was in
signing with the crew and afterwards
deserving may be brought out in the
evidence.

Col. Testers announcement that he
will again make the race for Con-
gress will not be a surprise to the
readers of the Morning News, although
it will set at rest rumors that have
been in circulation, spasmodcally, for
several months, that he would not run.
1t was because of these reports that
Col Lester decided to announce his
candidacy at this time. He is the only
avowed candidate in the field. although
the friends of other gentlemen have
been active for some time. Col. Les
ter's, however, is the first and only an
nouncement.
For fourteen years Col. Lester has
served his district as a member of the
House of Representatives. He has been
in Congress during the administration
of Harrison, Cleveland, Mckinley and
Roosevelt, and is thoroughly posted and
familiar with affairs in Washington.
During his service for his district he
has been faithful to every trust inn
posed in him.
There are ten counties in the First
District; Chatham, Burke Bulloch,
Bryan. Emanuel, bingham, Liberty,
Mcintosh. Screven and Tattnall. In
the Fifty-first, Fifty-second, Fifty

PLACES OF ABODE.

Furniture vans and household effects
were very much in evidence yesterday,
and to the casual observer it looked
as if nearly everybody in the city was
on the move. 1t only seemed so, how
ever.
While there may have been more
moving this year than usual the
changes that have been made are not
sufficient to warrant any great amount
of talk. Street wagons were pressed
into service and those who make a
business of moving dissatisfied people
had about all to do that they could
very well look after.
