paved area water seeks the sewers
more rapidly than it does now with
unpaved streets.
The result is obvious. This great
amount of water. flowing at right an
giles, and meeting at a COM
mon point. chokes the three
sewers temporarily, causes water to
hang up on paved STREETS, flood cell
lars, and break sewers.
L would recommend a plan be ie-
Vlsed to change this congestion of
storm water by building outlet sewers
for three districts of the city.
Director Has a Plan.
First. Building a five foot sewer on
Perry street, from East Broad street
TO BlIbo canal, as an outlet for the
Broughton, and East Broad streets sew
er. This would take all water fall
ing in the city as far south as CASTOR
street.
Second. Extending Thirty sixth
street sewer east across Atlantic Coast
Line Railway, to Waters avenue, so as
to carry all water south of Anderson
street through this sewer to Cuyler
Swamp.
Third. Build new sewer on Thir-
ty-ninth street, from Bull street west
to Florence. and south on Florence to
open ditch in county, where it would
be taken west to Musgrove creek.
The city then will have by this meth
Cd three different outlets to discharge
its storm water through, neither one
of which would interfere with the other.
Some such plan will have to be adopt
ed to provide for the ctty's growth.
If the Perry street sewer is built,
it would then be feasible to fill in Bill
DO canal from Perry lane to Bolton
street, and have in place of an I'M
healthy and unsightly open ditch, a
sixty-foot street through a section of
Ehe city where a street is greatly
needed. A 30-inch pipe, sewer from
Perry street to Bolton street, laid in
the present line of Bilbo canal, would
furnish ample provision for all
storm water in this territory
The Scavenger Department..
The Scavenger Department, since
Aug. 2, has been dumping all garbage
IN cars arranged at the dump built on
the old crematory site. These cars
are hauled by the Savannah Electric
Company to the County Farm This
disposal of the garbage seems to be
to the advantage of both the city and
county.
The city's health necessitates the
Dry Culture Department doing
thorough work, and is a very i'm
portant one in the city government
Although not brought prominent
ly before the public, the health of the
city depends largely upon it. The cost

SOLDIERS INVITED
TO VISIT ST. AUGUSTINE.
Special Rates offered to Interstate
National Guards Meeting.

NahonaI Guards Meeting.
Maj. Gen. ]. Clifford r. Foster,
president of the Florida National
Guard Association, has issued a circu-
lar letter that is being distributed gem
orally among the members of the mi
litia of the different states that will
be represented at the sixth annual con-
Vention of the Interstate National
Guard Association. The letter follows:
The sixth annual convention of the
Interstate National Guard Association

Jan. % to %, 1904. AS you probably
know, TINS association is composed of
the adJutants general and representa-
tlNes from among the commissioned
officers of the organized militia of the
several states. The purpose of the as
soclauon is to promote the interests of
the National Guard, and to its efforts
may be traced the interest and i'm
provement in the militia which has
been so marked during the past few
years.
While the voting strength of states
in the convention of this association is
limited to one delegate for each 500 of
organized militia, all commissioned Of
ticers are eligible to attend and to par
ttcipate in the transaction of business,
and state may have as many repre-
sentatives' as is desired. The attend
ance at the last convention was double
that of the year before, and it is con-
fidently believed that the approaching
convention at st. Augustine will be the
largest gathering of National Guard
officers ever held.
The Secretary and Assistant Secre-
tary of War, governors of the several
states, and the senior and department
tai officers of the regular army have
been invited to be present, and, aside
from the pleasure of meeting these dis
tinguished guests, and your brother
officers, the opportunity for an ex-
change of ideas and discussion of mill
tary topics will prove vastly beneficial.
II is hoped that you and some of the
officers of your command may find it
convenient to attend, and the purpose
of this letter is to extend to you on
behalf of the Florida National Guard
Association a, cordial invitation to
come to Florida and to be present with
US on this occasion"

plus rs cents, such rates to apply to
delegates and their wives, and to all

that will be allowed by the various ho-
tells of st. Augustine and calls atten-
tion to the fact that delegates in at
tending this convention can combine
with this object the opportunity of see
ing one of the most historic cities in
the country and such other parts of
