ASPHALT is WANTED
PLAN To SETTLE CASTOR STREET
PAVING CASE.
OPPOSITION TO SCHEME.
ALDERMAN THINKS COURTS
SHOULD DETERMINE QUESTION.

MIR. Lee Roy Myers Wants the street
From Whitaker 10 DrnYtOn Paved
With Asphalt and the Remainder
with Vitrified Brick-wnl Prob
ably Present Petition to Council.
Alderman Figures That Question
viii Have TO Be Finally Settled
in Courts and Calls Attention to
Henry. Hall ana Jones streets.
There is another plan on foot for a
settlement of the CASTOR street paving
case. Mr.. Lee Roy Myers wants the
street paved from Whitaker street to
Drayton with asphalt.
With this object in view Mr. Myers
has had some correspondence with
those owning property in the two
blocks. While at least one property
owner has declined to favor the scheme
he stated that in the event the city
agreed to put down asphalt between
Drayton and Whitaker streets ne
would not fight the decision.
Mr.. Myers plan contemplates the
paving of the remainder of the street
WIFI NtNlIDCu bllNhs iAC was NNeA NAAAN
ly reticent, however, when seen yes
terday, and it is not known with just
what degree of success he has met.
There are members of Council who
are opposed to IL compromise OF any
sort and who say that they will fight
any plan looking towards the laying
of asphalt.
Under no circumstances do / favor
settling the case" said an alderman
yesterday. I'VE had just as well have
the matter disposed of in the courts.
When the time comes to take up the
shell on Henry, Hall and Jones
streets, and this time is near at hand,
we will have the same fight over again.
1t is just as we'll for this reason to
have the matter determined in the
courts.
I'm my opinion, asphalt is out of the
question. 1t is too expensive, and, TOO,
it is not as durable as vitrified brick.
The two blocks that Mr.. Myers wants
paved with asphalt take in Forsyth
Park, and it would cost the city con-
siderable to put down this expensive
pavement. Then, too, it would not last
1t seems to me that Savannah has had
enough of asphalt. When this pave
ment begins wearing there is no let up.
1t is with the greatest difficulty that
the city has repairs made ana the as
phalt company sends it's forces here
only when it chooses, or at least when
there is to be repairing done in neigh
boring cites"
A Castor street property owner who
resides between Whitaker and Drayton
streets, has stated that he favors brick
because it is more durable, less costly,
more satisfactory and cleaner. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Myers will file a petit
ton with Council, but he has refused
to discuss the subject for publication.

SIMPLICITY IN GOWNS.

Fashion just now is all for the gauzy
fabric, but there may be much pic
turesqueness with shot taffetas, soft
rich sort which will lend itself to many
little gaugings and tuckings and ma
nipulation into quaint little trimmings
and bangles. Then there is the advan-
tage of wearing such a gown in the
early fall and at afternoon receptions
during the winter. Simplicity is the
keynote of summer modes and every
thing that is innocent of showiness
will find favor with the smartly
gowned woman.

A MOUSE MILL.
How n Thrifty Scotsman Put the
Small Animal to Work

From the Scotsman.
Thrift is generally acknowledged to
be one of the leading characteristics
of the natives of Fifeshire, and it
never was more forcibly exemplified
than in the person of Mr.. David Hat
ton, native of Dunfermline, who act
ually proved that even mice, those ac-
knowledged pests Of mankind, could
be made not only to earn their own
living, but also to yield a respectable
income to their owners.
About the year 1920 this gentleman
actually erected a small mill at Dun
fermline for the manufacture of
thread--a mill worked entirely by
mice. 1t was while visiting Perth Pris-
on in 1912 that Mr. Hatton first con-
ceived this remarkable idea of utilizing
horsepower. In an old pamphlet Of
the time, 1.-The Curiosity Coffee Room"
he gave an account of the way in
which the idea dawned on him.

honestly with private corporations in
regard to these matters, it is hardly
to be expected that they could deal
honestly with the public, if they had
the management of such enterprises
in thier own hands. This really goes
to the root of the whole matter.
Now. Mr.. Editor. the advocates of
municipal ownership claim that this
city should build and operate its own
electric light plant. and that the city
council will most surely manage it
properly L would like to know why.
Will the vastness of the property so
stagger the moss-c covered grafters and
hangers-on who have been living off
the city for years that their consciences
will suddenly. bloom into sensitive
ness? Or will it only give them a
bigger quarry and an enlarged field
for their peculiar enterprises?
To conclude: Superintendent Bar
rett OF the municipal light plant of
Chicago reports that the street lamps
in that city cost S96. ga per annum.
When his accounts were audited it
was found that he had neglected to
include the following items in the ac-
tual cost of each lamp. Water.
81. Al; interest, S21 70, insurance 81 so.
depreciation, S37. 81. thus bringing
the total cost of each lamp to S163. 4S
per year. 1t is also we'll known fact
that the administration of Mr.. Harri-
son has fattened on municipal owner
ship for years back. so it is no wonder
that he champions the cause.

iect further as the article in question
