DID MORE PLUMBING
INSPECTOR CAMPOS' REPORT
SHOWS CONSIDERABLE INCREASE.
COLLECTED MORE FEES.
OVER 1880 INSPECTIONS DURING
THE YEAR.

Amount Turned Into the Treasury
81, 257.5O-InspectOr CRmpOs Makes
some Interesting observations i'm
Presenting His Report to the
MayOr-PIumbing Ordinance Met
with Opposition When 1t First Be-
came Operative.
More inspections were made and
more money was collected by Plumb
ing Inspector Campos during 1902 than
during 1901. This fact is shown in the
interesting annual report filed by the
plumbing inspector with the Clerk of
Council yesterday.
The total number of plumbing fix
lures inspected during the year was g.
515 against 2,1S3 for the previous year.
The inspection of sewers numbered q
ia, inspections for the health depart
ment numbered forty-one, and inspec-
tons for property owners in which no
charge was made, amounted to 219.
The fees collected aggregated $1,257.50
against $l,O91.5O for the year before.
The showing is a good one and puts
Inspector Campos' department in the
Improvement column.
AS a prelude to his report the
Plumbing Inspector makes some inter-
esting observations. THE ordinance
regulating the drainage and plumbing
of buildings has now been in operation
four years and during that time a
marked Improvement has been MOTTO
NhAt.
the law first became operative the de-
partment met with opposition from a
few pessimists who argued that the
enforcement of such laws would be
burdensome to owners of property.
They contended that traps in pipes,
and other new tangled arrangements,
were not considered necessary two or
three decades ago and that people were
lust as free from contagious diseases,
then as they are now. 1t is very graft
fying to know, however, that these dis
gruntled ones make up only a small
percentage of those with whom this Of
fee has had to deal, and that on the
whole there has been a ready compli-
ance with the provisions of the ordi-
nance.
1.-THE subject of household sanitation
is one to which a good deal of atten-
ton has been paid during the past few
wears Within a comparatively short
space of time the city of Savannah has
expended thousands of dollars on a
system of house drainage that is one
of the finest in the country. This large
expenditure of money was made for
the purpose of benefiting citizens, but
the most perfect system of sewerage
would be little more than useless if
no attention were paid to the sanitary
arrangements of the household. The
year has been a very busy one with the
plumbers, caused by the changing from
the old system to the new. During the
year there were 1.514 permits issued
from this office"

NEW DIVISION FOR S. A. /.
To BE Carved Out of the Fourth and
Fifth Divisions,

The Seaboard Air Line has decided
to split up the fourth and fifth divis-
ions of the system into three divisions.
The change will become effective Jan.
II, but according to Supt. Walter Hale,
the limits of the new divisions to be
created are not quite definitely decided
on yet.
The fourth division, of which Mr..
Hale is superintendent, embraces the
lines from Columbia to Jacksonville,
Savannah to Montgomery and branch
es, while the fifth division. of which
Capt. D. E. Maxwell is superintend-
ent, embraces all the lines and
branches south of Fernandina and
jacksonville. 1t is rumored that the
new arrangement will make the line
from Columbia to Jacksonville and
thence to River Junction one division
the road from Savannah to Montgom-
cry including the Savannah terminals,
a second. and the lines from Fernan-
dina and Jacksonville south, the third.
The matter will be settled definitely to-
morrow.

SOUTH CAROLINA IN 1876.
Who Saved the Palmetto State at

Savannah, Ca, Jan. 3.-Editor Morn
ing News: We all remember the rev.
olution--it was revolution-in South
Carolina in 1876, when the state was
freed from the rule of the carpet-bag-
ger, the ignorant negro and the scala
wag. The state was saved, but by
whom? 1 have been under the belief
always, and still am, that the sons of
South Carolina saved their state, but
another claim has been made.
Can you, who have kept up with
the march of events" since 1865,
throw any light upon the dispute as
to whom belongs the honor of wrest-
ing South Carolina from the corrupt
politicians and thieves above men
toned? 1t is true that the frantic APP
peals to Mr.. Tilden for 100000, then
900 and then $4,000 ito fix the
returning board" (Which board was
not fixed for the money was not Civ
en), cut no figure in the saving of the
state.

Because OF the large number Of de-

''crimpers" in San Francisco that will,
