TO OWN WATERWoRKS
PAYS CITY WELL.
On Million and Half Dollars Hand
some Dividend is Paid.

The Savannah waterworks in the
hands of private corporation would
pay ; per cent. on 100000 notwith-
standing the fact that the entire plant
and equipment cost only $1,OO0,OOO, and
could be replaced now for less.
This was figured out yesterday by
Acting Mayor Dixon, who was getting
up some waterworks information for
Mayor Bridges Smith of Macon. Ma
con is now thinking of putting in it's
own waterworks plant, and Mayor
Smith wrote to Savannah for informa-
tion in regard to the plant here.
To get At the actual value, Acting
Mayor Dixon figured on what the plant
and equipment would be worth to a
private corporation. 1t is, of course,
worth as much to the city, though its
earning capacity is not so great, the
city using an immense amount OF
water itself for which nothing is paid
If Savannah did not own its plant,
the city would have TO pay out every
year a small size fortune for water
for fire and other purposes. Besides
the rate to the people is cheaper where
the plants are owned by the munich
pality. In many cities where private
corporations own the water $50 year
for every fire hydrant is charged.
But cutting out what the city uses
itself the Savannah waterworks pays
a revenue to the city above expenses
of per cent. on 81, 500 900, a half
again as muoh as the waterworks cost.
Mr. Dixon thinks the figures which he
has forwarded Macon will prove con-
vincing. Mayor Smith heartily favors
municipal ownership of waterworks.
He is getting up the information to
convince others.

ISLAND GROWTH

Time and Raise ii by Having ships
Dump Their Ballast There-Its Re
markabIe Growth.
That the property on Fig Island,
which was bought by the city for $500,
will. in the course of a very few years,
be worth 500, 900 or more, is the opin-
ion of well informed city officials.
AS soon as the case in court in re-
gard to the land is settled, the city
will Immediately take steps whereby
the island will be improved. A landing
will be built that ships may dump
ballast there. In this way the
land will be raised a great deal in a
very few years, it is thought.
Though the city bought only thirty
six and half acres, there are now
over two or three times that many
acres being claimed, all of this add
tional land having been built by
the river since 1S47, when the course
of the channel was changed, and a line
of jetties below the island was start

AT the time the island was bought
the city officials had no idea of ever
making any money out of it. 1t was
purchased from James Bilbo and his
wife, as a sanitary measure, to stop
the planting of rice.

The main channel of the Savannah

OFFICIAL NOTICE
OF STATE TAX RATE.
Has Been Received by Tax Collector
Thomson.

Has Been Received by Tax Collector
Thomson.
Tax Collector w. +. Thomson re-
ceived a telegram from Controller
Wright yesterday morning officially
confirming the statement in the Morn
ing News that the tax rate for this
year had been fixed at $3.50. This is
the first official announcement that
has been made and the telegram from
the controller was received in reply to
for definite news.
The county tax rate has not yet been
announced and commissioners who
were seen about the matter stated
that no announcement would be made
until after the September meeting.
The board holds it's regular meeting
on Sept s and at that time the rate
will be made up. 1t is possible that
there will be no increase this year,
despite the increase in appropriations
for schools and other items of the
budgets. The tax returns showed such
an unexpected increase that il is prob
able the county can get along with
little or no increase over the tax rate
of next year.
"All l wish now is that the county
tax rate would be announced" said
Collector Thomson, 'in order that ]
and my assistants may get down to
work and save the usual rush at the
last moment. Under the conditions,
however, / shall be compelled to wait
until about Sept. 10 before beginning
work 4"

NEGRO WAS ARRESTED
FOR PENSION FRAUD.
Charge of Perjury Also Lodged
Against the Accused.

On a warrant sworn out by United
States Pension Examiner D. H. Alex
ander, Isaac Carter, alias Isaac White
head, colored, was yesterday taken be-
fore United States Commissioner w.
r. Hewlett, charged with making a
false claim for pensions and for per-
jury. He was held by the commission
err to wait the action of the federal
grand jury and in lieu of bond has
been locked up
Carter made claim three years ago
to the effect that he was Isaac White
head, and that he had served during
the late war between the states in
Company E, One Hundred and Thirty
seventh United States Colored Troops.
He brought forth several witnesses who
testified that they had known him as
Whitehead, and that they knew he
had served in the regular army.
When the claim was presented to
Examiner Alexander he began looking
up the records, and the evidences of
fraud began appearing rapidly. When
the witnesses who had sworn that Car
ter was Whitehead came before the
examiner they changed their stories and
stated they had been offered share
in the pension if they would swear
that Carter was Whitehead. The war
rant for Carriers arrest was then sworn
out at once.
No action can be lodged against the
witnesses for perjury because their
false statements were made more than
three years ago, and the statute of
limitation saves them from prosecu-
ton. Certain false statements of
Carter, it is alleged have been made
since that time, however, and as d
result he is held on the double charge.
When turned over to Marshal Doyle
for safe-keeping, Carter still protested
that he was Whitehead and asked
permission to write a letter to the de-
partment about it. He was furnished
with pen and paper and the letter writ

A REMARKABLE PROPOSITION
Backed Up by Ample Capital, Pru-

of Half a Century.

Backed Up by Ample Capital, Pru-
dent Management and Experience
of Half a Century.
We are prepared to make a most re-
markable proposition which any think
ing man must see is liberal, honest and
desirable. We will lend amounts from
$1,000 to $4,000 for the use of any
mans family at his death, and all we
require is an average rate of interest
of about S1a per cent. You never repay
the loan; all we ask is the interest.
We further agree that you need pay
the interest only while you are alive to
earn it, If, from stress of circum-
stances, you find you cannot continue
your interest payments, the proper
proportion of the loan belongs to your
family, anyhow, or if you desire we will
return you your share in cash without
delay or bubble, the only condition be-
ing that you have made payments for
three full years. We demand no other
security than perfect health on your
part. With a proposition like the
above from such a company as the
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance
Company, organized 1851, the leading
Massachusetts life company, there is
no excuse for any man to leave his
family unprovided for. Let US send
you further information about this
matter. We will do so cheerfully if
you will send us your age and address.

CLAIMS CROOKEDNESS
IN SALE OF REALTY.
Anna LOngwOOd Asks Court to An
null Deed She Signed

Anna LOngwOOd Asks Court to An
null Deed She Signed.
Claiming that fraud was used to in
duce her to sign a deed to certain
property Anna Longwood has brought
action in the Superior Court against
Sol. C. Johnson, and asks that the
court declare the deed of property
given by her to him null and void, be-
cause it was fraudulently executed. The
circumstances of the case, as set forth
in the petition of the plaintiff, are as
follows:
Anna Longwood owned lot No. on
Gillian street. which competent advis-
ers told her was worth 81 500. An offer
for the eastern half of the lot was
made by L. E. Williams, he promising,
it is alleged, to pay $3.50 for the half
lot. She was instructed to meet him
at a Bay street office and here she was
given paper to sign, supposedly con-
Veylng the one-half lot. Later she
was Informed that $3.50 had been de-
posted to her credit with a certain
loan association. and this she verified.
She supposed all was well, she al
legeS, until she was informed by real
estate agent that there was no need
to pay further taxes on her property
as the defendant in the above suit had
bought the entire lot and had mort
gagged ii to the loan company.
An investigation proved this to be
the case and the plaintiff claims that
the deed which she signed supposedly
conveying half of the lot reads for
the entire lot and puts the purchase
price at $1,000. In view of the fact
that there was an apparent fraud in
the proceedings. she asks the court to
set aside the deed and declare it null
and void. and to take such other action
as may be deemed equitable.
