As a matter Of course the crowd

volunteers felt thirsty. and their chief,
who wore a still more enormous hat

NINE MILES OF PAVING.

In retiring from the office of Mayor
in 1896. l said Paved streets are in
separable from municipal progress.
Good roads are demanded by all citi-
zens interested in the citys develop
ment, as we'll as its appearance. The
requirements of Savannah in this di-
rection should be met as rapidly as the
finances of the city and of the prop
erty owners will permit"
The passage of the intervening years
has made no change in my convictions
on this subject. ] still emphatically
believe that a well-paved city is a we'll
advertised city, a city that reflects cred
it upon it citizens and draws people to
1t. and no form of public betterments
meets the needs of the people more than
improved highways, or is more salts
factory to taxpayers as a whole. they.
it must be remembered, being called
upon directly to meet part of the eN-
pepse.
Keeping this policy constantly in
mind. this administration has. during
the past five years, steadily pursued a
definite plan of street paving, having
for its purpose the placing OF all sec
tons of Savannah within easy COM
munication by modern paved streets,
thus meeting the requirements of the
merchants and at the same time facil-
itating the fire department in reach
ing points where its services may be

WILL CONTINUE TO PAVE.

These are conditions that tell unmis-
takably the growth and prosperity of
Savannah, the promptness with which
it's taxes are paid, and the hearty sup
port given by its progressive people
to all proper municipal Improvements
Much additional paving is required
before Savannah can be termined a
"well-paved city" 1t is not the pur-
pose of this administration to neglect
this important work, even though en-
gagged in the erection of a creditable
City Hall. Ample provisions have been
made in the budget for 1904 for a con-
tinuance of the policy referred to. The
work already provided for, and that
which is contemplated, will add two
miles more to our paved thorough
fares during the next twelve months.
AS one whose interests are almost
entirely in Savannah, | venture to eX-
press the hope that in coming years
there will be a. continuance of this
policy until our city ranks among the
best paved cities of the United States
Our endeavor should always be to have
Savannah inferior to no other city in
the Conveniences that add to the COM
fort and pleasure of residents and Of
visitors, and which also cheaper and
expedite the carrying on of busl-
ness.
Vitrifed brick continues the favorite
material for street paving here, and it
is, in my opinion, the cheapest and
best for our needs. For the past five
years the average cost of street paw
ing in Savannah with this material
has been $1.54 a square yard. The
cost for maintenance is practically
nothing. Citizens generally seem to
approve of it's further use, and our
future operations will, in all proba-
bility, be mainly with this material.

fering a greater inducement to ground
rent lot holders to make them fee SIM
pie. To that end l would suggest that
the discount allowed be increased to
from IS to 20 per cent. for the six
monthe ending July l, all revenues so
derived to be added to the appropria-
ton already made for the new City
Hall. With this addition and such eX-
ira amount as may be obtained from
our regular source of revenue, over
and above the appropriation of 100000
provided in the budget the hall can
probably be entirely paid for during
the current year.
In suggesting such a measure l am
inventing no new eXpedient, but am
merely adopting a policy that met with
the approval of all my predecessors
in office during the past fifteen years.
In 1890, when Mayor Schwarz was at
the head of the city government, a
discount of 30 per cent, and then OF
20 per cent, was allowed to all own
ers of ground rent lots setting the
balances due the city, the purpose be
ing to secure additional funds for
drainage work and the extension of
water mains. AS a result over $780,
900 was derived from this source IN
that year.
In the following year, under Mayor
McDonough, a similar eXpedlent was
resorted to, a Is per cent. discount De-
ing granted, and nearly $4,000 came
into the treasury. The right of the city
to tax these lots was at that time sun
disputed or a much greater amount
would doubtless have been secured.
Again, in 1897, under Mayor Meldrlm,
d discount of 25 per cent. was allowed
in order to realize funds for opening
streets, and nearly $4,000 was recelV-
ed from the holders of this class or
property. BY availing ourselves OF
this method of raising addluonal
funds we will be profting by the wis
dom of our predecessors in office and
be in a position to hand over to our
successors a handsome, up-to-date'
thoroughly equipped hall, paid for In
full, while at the same time the liberal
policy heretofore pursued as regards
street paving, street opening, mousse
drainage and other Improvements, VIII
have been maintained | therefore rec
ommend that as Committee Of the
Whole your honorable body immedi-
ately take this matter into considera-
ton. with a view to the adoption of
resolution at the next meeting increas-
ing the discount from 10 to 20 per
cent. or such other figure as you may
deem eXpedient under the clrcum-
stances.

DEEPER WATER MOVEMENT.

But not only in the movement for a
new City Hall in keeping with the Sa-
vannah of to-day has an endeaVor been
honestly and continuously made to keep
the municipality in touch with the evil
dent desire of our people for a gov
eminent that will observe it's wishes
and assist in the laudable ambition
to maintain Savannah's reputation as
a city of solid business standing, a
city of beautiful squares and homes,
a city expanding, not along a few
narrow channels, but broadly in all
directions, a city worthy of its past
history and throbbing with the hopes
of a brighter future.
To this end, after consulting with
Col. Quinn, the United States engi-
neer. and Col. ]. H. Estill, in Sep
TENDER, l prepared a brief message to
Council, directing attention to the vital
\ fmportanIe of deeper water to the
sea, and recommending immediate
steps toward securing an appropria-
ton from Congress for a thirty-foot
channel at mean low water Your
prompt and hearty Endorsement, and
the united support given by the Cot
ton Exchange, Chamber of Commerce
and Board of Trade, inaugurated the
movement under the most favorable
auspices.
Twelve years had passed since the
previous movement of this character
A strong memorial was placed before
Congress in December, and we have
reason to believe that a survey will
be ordered at this session of that body
which is all that could be expected at
this time. A pamphlet setting forth
Savannah's claim for further attention
from the Federal government has been
prepared and will be distributed among
the business bodies and public men
throughout the country. This, I be-
lieve, outside of the deep water project
will be an excellent advertisement for
our city. An appropriation of $1,5OO
has been made for the Harbor I'm
provement Committee this year, but
more money. 1 have no doubt, will
be Immediately made available if the
necessity arises.
There is no member of this board
l know, who does not fully realize the
Importance of the harbor of our CITY
and the absolute necessity of securing
additional appropriations from the
general government for the deepening
of the channel. Our commerce, even
as it is, is tending to increase, but
with deeper water, in the opinion of
the best advised men, it will receive
an enormous expansion, drawing from
vast territory West and Southwest
with which we are now just beginning
to enjoy important business relations
The city government can well afford
to expend a considerable sum in the
movement for deeper water. Every
dollar so paid is a dollar devoted TO
the best business interests of the citv
and intended to promote the welfare of
every citizen. No Savannahian is ever
apt to forget that the river and har-
Dor are the chief arteries of our bust
ness life.

MORE MONEY FOR TREES.

While such works of public utility
nave been in progress the aesthetic
side of our life has not been entirely
ignored. In city covering So
great an area as Savannah. with so
heavy an interest account to provide
yearly, with its streets unimproved nm
til quite recent years, with numerous
encroachments in the highways to he
removed, and so many streets to be
opened for the accommodation of it's
citizens, the useful has necessarily had
precedence over the beautiful as must
be the case for many years to come
Within the limit of our means. though
every effort has been made to CON
tinue the identifying of Savannah In
this work l must commend the zeal
Gus, disinterested and efficient labors
of our Park and Tree Commission
While at times there has been some
what of an absence of perfect harmony
in the relations of this coordinate bodv
with the administration, its work on
the whole has tended to the benefit of
the community. With thel limited
means at its disposal it has done good
work. Thousands of trees have been
planted by it, and parks, squares and
street green's placed in an admirable
condition and kept so.
With another year shall recommend
the placing of a larger appropriation
at its services for tree planting. THE
time will then have come, l believe.
when Savannah can afford to under
take this on a larger scale than ever
before. During 1903 an advancement
was made with the County Commits
sioners whereby the use of a large tract
