But no Opinion Rendered in Regard
10 the PawnbrOkers.
City Attorney Garrard yesterday
morning rendered an opinion in the
Emmett Park case, that had been sub
mitted to him by the superintendent
of police, though the pawnbroker
question, which was submitted at the
same time, is still undecided.
Col. Garrard held that nothing could
be done with the persons who recently
drove across the green, and no case
will be made by the police.
Several wagons were driven across
the green and the police submitted the
matter TO the city attorney to find out
If it was violation of the city ordi-
nance. He decided it was not. OF
course after the driveways in the park
are laid out, vehicles will have to fol-
low these.
Though the retail merchants are still
kicking about the pawnbrokers moth
ing is to be done until Col. Garrard
renders an opinion.

"To the Morning News is due the
credit for the subway victory Ii 1T

could not have been contaminated
Alderman William L. Grayson, author
of the original subway resolution,
which led. after fight of several
months, to the contract being signed.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-05-31


ton in that paper, the subway plan
could not have been cOnsuInnlated -
Alderman William L. Grayson, author
of the original subway resolution,
which led, after fight of several
months, to the contract being signed.
Acting under the advise of his attor-
neys, President George J. Baldwin of
the Savannah Electric Company, signed
the contract yesterday for the construc-
ton of the Gwinnett street subway.
The contract has now been sent to
the Atlanic Coast Line for signature.
AS soon as the Coast Line signs it, bids
for the work will be advertised for and
the contract awarded.
The final agreement on the subway
was reached some time ago, and the
contract would have been signed by all
three of the parties concerned, had II
not been for the injunctions brought
against the Savannah Electric Com
pany.
Injunction stopped Plans
The injunctions were to stop the lay
ing of tracks by the company on Gwin-
nett street. When the first one was
filed President Baldwin announced he
would sign the contract any way. The
second one frightened him, however,
and he said he dared not do anything.
After consulting with his lawyers,
however, it was decided to sign the
contract. He had agreed to sign it If
the city made certain concessions,
among them the right to lay tracks on
Gwinnett street The city gave the
company this right, though the prop
erty owners have enjoined the company
from taking advantage of the franchise
given by the city.
The City Kept Faith.
The attorneys for the electric COM
pany will have to defend in the courts
the grant of the city, and as President
Baldwin had agreed to sign the con-
tract, if this grant were made. there
was really nothing else to do, but sign
the papers.
? The company contends the grant
by the city was all right, and it had
agreed to sign the contract If the
grant were made. Had the contract
been held up for any length of time,
as seemed likely, the company would
have had come difficulty in explaining
its position to the courts.
Since the subway was first proposed
there have been numerous and long
delays-delays for good reasons and
delays without any reason at all. On
ly the signature of the Coast Line Of
ficials is lacking now to make the sub
way a certainty, and this time there
is no likelihood of the Coast Line de-
laying matters.
