libel in the office of the clerk of the

claimed the city marshal had previous

FROM WATER FRONT
PLAN TO HAUL GRAVEL TO SAVAN'
NAH ON BOATS.
SHOALS IN SUMMER HINDER.
WOULD BE RISK TO VESSEL PROP
ERTY.

Company Furnishing City and COun-
~ Gravel Find Water Route Prob
ably ImpracticabIe-Nenrn of
Gravel Mines TO River Suggested
the Idea-News of the shipping.
Bringing Augusta gravel for paving
streets to Savannah by the river route
is under consideration. The idea is to
bring gravel down on fats, landing it
at the docks most convenient to the
places where it is to be used. While
the idea appeared feasible to it's orig
inatofs at first it is possible they may
find insufficient depth of water in the
river TO make it safe to adopt this
system of transportation, and upon
this the carrying out of the plan will
depend.
An officer of the company supplying
gravel at present for both the city and
county, has been investigating the pos
sibility of adopting the river route for
bringing the supply here, but he fears
that the employment of flats will not
be possible owing to numerous shoals
at many points during the summer.
The officer is investigating the pos
sibility of using the river route owing
to the nearness of the company's mines
to the river at Augusta. 1t occurred
to him that gravel might be delivered
by the water cheaper than by rail
route. A statement of the average
depth of water throughout the summer
for many years past was obtained, but
it is not understood to show up favor
ably. The river boats are about as
light draft as flats the gravel people
could build. and would probably draw
much less water than the flats, yet the
river boats have much trouble in nav
igating in summer. More than once
the idea of adopting the river route
for transportation has been considered,
and in most cases the low stages the
river reaches leaves too much doubt
about the safety of craft and the sue
cess of the undertaking to warrant I'M
dertaking the plans.
