AFTERNOON SESSION.
Consumed in Hearing "a Number of
Reports.

The afternoon session of the Diocesan
Convention was largely consumed in
hearing detailed reports from various
of the regular committees. That of
the Committee on University of the
South was particularly interesting to
the house. 1t was made by Dr. Will
liams and commended very highly the
work that is being carried on in the
University. The promptness of some
of the parishes in sending to the uni
versty their assessments, and the
hardness of few others, was the sub
ject of comment. and the usual appro-
priation was asked for. to meet the
share of the Diocese of Georgia in the
expenses of the institution. The work
of the st. Luke's Brotherhood for the
Increase of the ministry. at Suwanee,
was commended and encouraged.
Next Year in Atlanta.
The convention was extended a very
cordial invitation by DIR. Harrison, to
meet next year in st. Luke's Church.
Atlanta. The invitation was accepted
and the convention will be called to
order in that church Thursday, May u.
1904, to continue until the Sunday even
ing following.
MT ASTON OF the committee on
Finance made a report giving the as
sessments for the various churches for
the ensuing year. 1t showed but few
changes from those of the previous
year.
The Special Committee on Corpora
tions made a report in regard to re-
turns of certain church property.
which was referred to the Bishop.

Members of Popular Command
Spent Enjoyable Day at Tybee.
In the presenee of fully five hundred
of the friends of the company, Quar-
termaster Sergeant James I. Martin
won the Republican Blues medal in
the prize drill on Bohans pavilion at
Tybee last night. The winner was also
awarded a pair of gold cuff buttons.
Private Alfred NJ. Thomas gave the
winner run for his money and was
given second prize, a gold scarf pin.
The third prize was won by G. L. Pip
pins who received a pair of sleeve
buttons and stud.
The team which will represent the
company in the regimental prize drill
tonight was also chosen. Their names
appear elsewhere in this paper. The
drill, which was the most interesting
part of the days outing, was greatly
enjoyed, the men displaying a degree
of excellence which insures them a
good chance for the regimental medal.

Capt. j. M. Dreyer went down to the
island in the morning. The day was

pavilion, where music was furnished

PARK AND TREE
COMMISSION TO GO.
Its Rights Are Absolute and Council
to Seek to Abolish 1t.

to Seek to Abolish 1t.
1t is probable that at the next meet
ing of the City Council an ordinance
passed during the Meldrim admins
tration, in June, 1898, giving the Park
and Tree Commission absolute control
over the parks, squares and grass
plats in the city, will be repealed.
A majority of the members of the
Board of Aldermen did not know that
the ordinance existed until yesterday
and up to that time they had believed
that Chairman Daffin of the commits
sion, was presuming when he address
ed the communication to Council as
printed in the Morning News yester-
day.
An investigation, however, brought
out the fact that under an existing
ordinance the Park and Tree Commits
sion has the right to do anything that
it may wish with the parks, squares
and grass plats. 1t is this right that
will probably be taken from it at the
next session of Council. Chairman
Daftin and Council have never been in
harmony, and there are quite num-
Der of city officials and members of
Council who are behind a move to
have the commission abolished.
There is no objection to the commits
sion, but the fact that the chairman
is continually antagonizing Council, it
is claimed, makes it necessary to do
away with the commission. The plan
now is to have a special committee
from Council do this work. 1t is prob
able that the effort that will be made
to abolish the commission will come
up before the Legislature next month.

REQUEST CAME LATE
COMMISSIONERS DENIED BOARD OF
OBLIGATIONS PETITION.
FOR NEW CoLoRED SCHOOL.
BUDGET HAD ALREADY BEEN SUB
MITTED AND APPROVED.

The Request Was Received rs In
formation, and Clerk Butler Di-
rected to Inform the Board That
the Resolution Was Received Aft
err the Budget of Estimated Ex-
penses Had Been Approved by
Grand Jury-SessiOn of the Com
missfOners' Board Was Short
One.
The May meeting of the County
Commissioners yesterday was one of
the shortest sessions which the board
has held in many day. The commits
sioners were in caucus scarcely more
than half an hour, and the open meet
ing did not last as long.
The only important business which
came before the body was ac-
ton on the resolution of the Board
of Education relative to the appropria-
ton of money for the construction of
a colored school. In answer to the re-
quest embodied in the resolution, the
commissioners instructed the clerk of
the board, G. Reuben Butler, to in
form the Board of Education, through
the superintendent that the budget of
estimated expenses had already been
submitted and approved several days
before the communication was re-
ceived.
Position of the Board.
This is taken to mean that there will
be no appropriation this year, for the
purpose. The commissioners, while
fully realizing the need of another col
ored school, do not think that the coun-
ty can now afford the incident expense.
Eighty three thousand dollars has al
ready been appropriated for education
al purposes, of which amount the ne
groes will get their share. The reso-
luton of the Board of Education was,
therefore, received as information, and
the clerk instructed to write the letter
The text of the resolution is:
Resolved, That the commissioners
of Chatham county be requested to
make an appropriation at once for the
erection of another public school for
colored children, and that if they find
that they cannot at this time appro-
pirate as much as the estimate hereto
fore made of $50, 000 that they appro-
pirate as much as can be spared"
Grand Jury's Action.
In the general preSentmentS OF the
grand jury, which win be made to
the court this afternoon, the question
will be touched on. 1t is understood
that while not recommending, the
grand jury will call the attention of
the commissioners to the crowded
condition of the colored schools, and
the necessity for another school.
There was no further business of
Importance before the commissioners,
except the cancellation of $4,000 worth
of Chatham county bonds and the
passing of $4,000 in county bills for
payment. The bonds were drawn for
redemption in 1902 but owing to the
lateness in paying one. the cancella-
ton was delayed. The payment of
the bills passed for payment will be-
gin this morning, and it is probable
that there will be a crowd in the
clerks office all day.

by Joint Committee.
1t is not deemed expedient TO invite
the Confederate Veterans to meet in
annual session in Savannah next
wear.
This conclusion was reached by the
Joint Committee, that has had the
matter under consideration, at the
meeting held last night at the De Soto.
The decision of the committee finally
decides the matter and the veterans
will not be asked to gather in Savan-
nah in 1904.
The members of the committee were
unable to determine how much money
could be gotten together and under
these circumstances it was not con-
sdered wise to take the matter up
further, inasmuch as the delegates 10
the convention will leave tomorrow
night. The railroads would not say
how much they would give to the fund,
and although the street railway COM
pany agreed to go the limit no amount
was specified. These indefnate re-
ports caused the committee to adopt
the course that 1t did. Chairman of
Council James NJ. Dixon presided.
