FOURTH DISTRICT WANTS
STREETS OPENED.
Resolution Adopted at "A Big Meet
ing Held Last Night.

%AhOpNC0 a. LIS
ing Held Last Night.
At a largely attended meeting of the
Fourth District Administration Club
last night a resolution was adopted
favoring the opening of a number of
streets in the southern section of the
Fourth district. The resolution was
introduced by Deputy Marshal w. I.
Hussey, who spoke at length urging It's
passage.
The resolution, which was carried
unanimously, is as follows:
Whereas, Streets are badly needed
south of Thirty-ninth street, extending
from Price street to Waters avenue;
and,
Whereas, The interests of the south
ern section of the Fourth district de-
mand that Fortieth, Fortyfrst and
Forty-second streets be established
from Price street TO Waters avenue;
therefore. be it
Resolved, That the Fourth District
Administration Club, in regular meet
ing assembled, do urge upon City
Council and the Committee on Opening
Streets the great Importance and i'm
mediate necessity of establishing the
said streets; and be it further
Resolved, That the representatives
of the Fourth district and the South
forts in bringing about the opening
of these streets, so that the said
southern section of the Fourth district
may derive the benefits which it is en-
titled to by its said rapid growth.
Mr.. Hussey, in speaking for the reso-
luton, said the city could in no other
way save more money than by open
ing these streets now. He urged the
necessity for the streets being opened
at once and stated to delay would
mean that two or three times as much
would have to be paid for the land.
Maj. John Schwarz followed Mr..
Hussey, speaking along the same line.
He said property that the city could
have purchased some years ago for
$4,000 had finally to be bought for
$1,000 ]. Robert Dreamer and Mar
Gus S. Baker also spoke in favor of the
resolution. DR.. J. G. Kellar, the coro-
ner, amused the club with several
stories.
A letter was read from Joseph
Walker, the secretary, calling attention
to the fact that the Dasher heirs, in
1894, made a deed in favor of the city
TO the land at Thirty-ffth and Lin
coin streets, to be used as a public
park. A committee was appointed to
take the matter up with the aldermen
and the Park and Tree Commission to
urge the Improvement of the park.
The meeting last night was one of
the best the club has held. Judge
Samuel Reynolds, the president, pre-
sided.

Two other houses were destroyed be-
fore the fire burned itself out. The
place of Warn & Byrd caught fire sew
eral times and it was only by hard
work that it was saved. The flames
were fought with buckets of water.

house was owned by Randolph Paff
T. Pacetti. whose home was also
burned, carried no insurance but man
aged TO save considerab BILE of his furni-

WILL BE CARNI-
VAL OR FAIR
SOME ATTRACTION CERTAIN.
COMMITTED TO DECIDE UPON
FORM OF ENTERTAINMENT.

At Meeting of the Savannah Racing
Association II Was Agreed That
Savannah should Have Some Sort
of Entertainment This Fall-Fair
for Benefit of People in Snvan-
nah's Territory suggested-Would
Probably Combine with Race
Meeting.
Savannah will have some sort Of an
entertainment for the people this fall,
though, whether it will be carnival,
& fair, or a combination Of either Of
these with a race meet, is yet to be de-
cided.
A meeting was held in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms yesterday after
noon, under the auspices Of the Savan-
nah Racing Association, TO discuss the
question.
Il was gone into pretty thor
ouRhly, and it was decided to appoint
e committee TO consider the form Of
entertainment TO be provided, and have
this body report its views at another
meeting TO be held shortly.
The committee consists Of Mr.. A.
3. Moore, president of the Racing As
eociation, and Messrs. G. w. Tiede-
man. B. H. Levy, Simeon Theus, Leo
pold Adler and William Kehoe.
There was a unanimity Of opinion
that some sort of fair. or carnival,
should be held in Savannahs interest.
Col. J. H. Estill thought that a fair
for the benefit Of the people in Savan-
nah's immediate territory, that is one
sn which efforts should be made to Sc
cure what might be termed local pat
Tonage, ana in which the prizes for
exhibits should be confined 10 exhibit
ors from nearby counties, TO be com
bined with a race meet, would prove
the most feasible plan.
Several of the others favored the idea
of a carnival, believing that il would
result in bringing more people to Sa-
vannah, as the out-of-town people
when they come to the city, prefer to
be amused rather than shown exhibits
or racing. This idea gained IN popu-
larity and the appointment Of the COM
mittee followed. The entertainment
will be given some time between oct.
81 and Nov. Is.
