OLD FLUSH TANKS
WILL BE CONDEMNED.
Believed That Considerable Water
Is Wasted in Closets.


Is Wasted in Closets.
Whenever the old style flush tanks
for closets get out of order in the flu
ture they will be promptly condemned
by the city and the owners will be re-
quired to put in one of a half a dozen
or more standard flush tanks.
The Water Committee of Council
will agree upon an ordinance to be in
PRODUCED in Council, probably at to-
nights meeting, whereby this will be
made possible. 1t is believed that a
considerable quantity of the water
wasted is because of the sort of flush
tanks used in some closets. For this
reason it is the purpose of the city to
insist upon the use of standard
make.
The work of exploring the sewers so
that it can be ascertained if any of
the water mains are leaking in them
will be taken up to-day and will be
completed during the present week.
The search for broken water mains
will be made carefully and thoroughly.
In the event that it is found that wa
ter is going to waste in this manner
some remedy will be promptly adopt
ed. The popular idea is that a great
deal of water is going to waste in this
WaV.
Everything possible is now being
done by the Water Committee of
Council to prevent the great waste
that is so apparent. In those places
where large quantities of water are
used water meters We're installed by
Oct. l: The Central of Georgia Rail-
way Company and the Ocean Steam
ship Company did not put the meters
in service in the required time and
President Egan of the Central had
conference with Mayor Myers and the
Water Committee at the City Ex-
change yesterday.
At a considerable cost President Egan
agreed to put three large meters in
service. One has already been placed
on the wharves of the steamship COM
pany and the other two will be put
on the railroads premises large
meter will also, most likely, be in
stalled on the wharves of the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Company. 1t has been thought by
members of the Water Committee that
a great deal of water has been wasted
by the corporations and for this rea-
son Council ordered the meters put in
service.

where he went to place Imam jenkins

able that the officer will soon forget
his trip with the negro lunatic, for Jen-

his powerful physique, he would have
been confined to his bed yesterday as
the result of the trip. t~
Soon after the two left Savannah.

Though he was handcuffed he beat the
officer with his clenched hands, and as
a result, black and blue marks are ru-

NOT IN FIRE LIMITS
WILL ANY MORE FRAME STRICT
URES BE ERECTED.
CITY MADE AGREEMENT.
TARIFF ASSOCIATION KICKED
AGAINST SPECIAL ORDINANCES.

1t Has Been Possible to Have COun-
Gil Pass Special Ordinances for
the Conjunction of Wooden
Buildings in the Fire Limits, but
This VIII Not Be the Cnse in the
Future-Lareest Engine Built by
LaFrance People to BE Purchased
by City-Thrce Horse Hitch for
No. station.
In future the City Council will re-
fuse permission to people who want to
build frame houses within the FIRE
limits. This matter has been positive
ly determined and under no circum-
stances will an exception be made.
1t has been possible heretofore to
secure permission for the construction
of frame buildings in the fire dis
tricts by petitioning Council. When
in the judgment of that body it was
considered wise to permit the erecting
of one or more frame structures an
ordinance was passed in each case.
But no ordinances or this sort will
again be passed by Council
When the representatives of the
II
Mayor Myers and a committee from
Council it was agreed that the city
would refuse to permit the building
of any more frame houses inside the
fire limits The committee was unan-
imous in this agreement and its action
will be ratified by Council. This was
one of the stipulations laid down by
the Tariff Association in agreeing TO
rerate Savannah on the basis of Il
first-class city.
The improvements in the fire depart
ment, contemplated before the confer
ences with inspector Lawton and Agent
Raine, will be made very shortly The
Fire Committee has practically deter
mined to purchase the largest engine
made by the LaFrance people, one with
a capacity of 1900 gallons a minute.
This engine will cost only a trie more
than one with a capacity of 1000 gall
Ions, but would be worth a great deal
more in case of a large fire. Council
will have to authorize the purchase.
Already the Fire Committee has Civ
en- an order for three horse hitch for
station No. 4, on Barnard street, and
in a very short while the engine at
that fire station will be drawn by
three horses. The engine in use at
No. 4 station at present will be moved
to station No. 5, on Henry street. and
the engine doing duty at that point
will be put out of commission. This
will leave a big engine in reserve and
give the department a total of seven
engines. When station No. is
equipped with the three-horse hitch
there will be four three horse engines
in the department all of the down.

charged seventy-six passengers.
The steamer made the trip without
incident other than encountering the
severe hurricane that ragged along the

turn to New York until the storm was
over.
Passengers on the ship report see
ing evidences all along the trip down

Broken spars, small boats and other
wreckage was seen, telling the story of

FAIR DIRECTORS
MEET THIS AFTERNOON.
Several Matters Will BE Brought Up
For Action.

A meeting of the directors of the Sa-
vannah Agricultural and Industrial
Fair will be held this afternoon in the
rooms of the Chamber of Commerce.
The meeting was postponed from last
week and there have several matters of
Importance accumulated which must be
acted upon by the directors.
Manager Gordon Saussy will make a
complete report of his visit to Atlanta
and arrangements that have been made
for attractions at the fair. Among the
more interesting things that may be
decided upon will be the steer-roping
contest. A letter has been received
by Manager Saussy stating that sew
eral Texas cowboys will enter the con-
test if satisfactory conditions can be
made.
Final arrangements will also be made
for the three big days that are to be
the features of the fair, Automobile
Day. Savannah Day, and Governors
Day. The complete programme for
Governors Day viii probably be map
ped out at this meeting. A slight
change will probably be made in the
date on which Gov. Terrell will visit
Savannah. At o'clock last night
telegram was received from Atlanta
stating that Friday, Nov. IL, would De
the most convenient day for the guber
material visit. AS a result that date
win probably be selected by the direc-
tors
The midway features will also be an
nounced within a few days, many Of
them having already been arranged
for The "Trip TO the Moon one of
the best of the features of the Atlanta
Pike" has been secured. Most of the
other midway productions will be en-
tirely new ones for the South, several
coming directly to Savannah from
Northern cities.
A report has reached fair headquar-
ters to the effect that the merchants are
under the impression that there is
charge for exhibit space at the grounds.
Manager Saussy and Secretary Doyle
both asked that this be contradicted
and that the announcement that all
exhibit space is free be made again.
There is absolutely no charge to mer-
chants who wish to make a display of
their goods. The diagrams of the eX-
hibit buildings are now open at fair
headquarters and space is being rapidly
allotted to those who make applica-
tions for it.
The indication are that the exhibit
will be one of the finest ever shewn
in the South. One of the features will
be the county display and several coun-
ties have already applied for space.
The rivalry in this department prom
ises to be unusually sharp and spirited.

members of the lunacy commission
stood by and wondered.
1t was by the merest chance that
the two lunatics were thrown together.
The jury had repaired to the cells to
inspect the accused, when they en-
countered them in the corridor. They
stood staring at each other one of
them talking about nothing in FAR

BICYCLE THIEF
HELD BY POLICE.
Officers Are Able to show He Had
Two Machines.

Two Machines.
For the theft of at least two bicycles
H. Moody, colored, will be given a
final examination before Recorder My
rick in Police Court, this morning.
The prisoner was arraigned yesterday
but the case was continued.
During the last week or two quite
number of bicycles have been stolen
and the police were at a loss to know
what became of the machines. l.. S.
Reid, of No. 20 State street, west, was
the last victim. Several hours after
he had reported his loss at police head
quarters he saw a negro riding his
machine.
Patrolman Bryant was summoned
and the rider, Max Major, colored was
made a prisoner, and sent to the police
station house. Major declared that he
had only rented the wheel and was able
to prove this by two women. He had
gotten it from Moody and that individ-
ual was arrested as the real culprit.
Moody denied all knowledge of the stol-
en- wheel, but Detectives Murphy and
Wall were yesterday able to recover
still another that had been stolen, and
that had been left at a bicycle store.
