PLEASANT WEATHER
BENEFITS RESORTS
Crowds in Evidence at Isle of Hope
and ThunderbOIt.

ana ThunderbOIt.
The pleasant weather of the last few
weeks has been of distinct benefit to
the resorts about Savannah. Mercury,
with the exception of one or two days,
has lowered constantly between so and
20 degrees in the afternoon, and this
has brought out the crowds. The early
morning hours have been very cool and
the nights have been cool, but the
afternoons have been warm and pleas
ant. Practically every day has been
bright, and this has served to bring
out the crowds.
This effect was particularly in evil
dence yesterday. At Thunderbolt there
was a large crowd during the entire
afternoon, the Casino being the chief
attraction. Crowds sat about the large
verandas and little groups gathered in
the dining room to enjoy one of the
Casino suppers. Many remained until
far after nightfall, though the drop
in temperature that came with the
sunset sent the majority back to their
homes in the city
Isle of Hope also had a large at
tendance. Tybee, of course, had few
visitors, barring those who are still
looking upon that resort as their sum-
mer home The closing of Hotel Ty-
bee and the close. of the surf bathing
season have worked somewhat against
this resort, and yet, despite these facts,
a number went there yesterday The
mild weather is unusual for this time
OF year, and Savannahians are taking
advantage of it, TO the delight of the
owners of the resorts.

appeal to the city for financial aid.
1t is desired. and in fact is absolute
ly necessary, to increase the number
of books on the library shelves, and

able that between 200 and 300 volumes

but one blacksmith, one hairdresser,
one iron-worker, one pawnbroker,. one
paper-hanger, one photographer, one
port warden, one steamship official,

Will Get Quite a sum.
Mr.. ]. H. H. Osborne, the chairman
of the City Board of Tax Assessors, will
to-day make an investigation to see if
the position taken by the Controller
General of the state in regard to the
taxes on the bonds held by the Central
Railroad is correct. Savannah may OBJ
tain a large sum of money in back
taxes if the controller is correct Mr.
Osborne, the chairman of the city as
SCISSORS, says he will look into the mat
ter at once.
According to the opinion of the Con-
troller General. besides the state only
Chatham county and the city of Sa-
vannah are entitled to taxes on the
Western of Alabama Railway stock,
which the Central holds. The con-
troller refers to a decision of the Su-
preme Court to support his opinion.
The city officials here. of course, hope
he is correct. although they had not
raised the point and thought the taxes
were going to be prorated along the
whole line of the Central. 1t will mean
large sum of money to the city, If
the controllers opinion is correct. Mr..
Osborne, the chairman of the city as
SCISSORS. was of the opinion that Sa-
vannah would receive only a small
amount. He will, however, look up the
law on the matter.

ONE FIREMAN PRESENT
AT HEBREW SCHOOL FIRE.

The statement in yesterdays Morn

spond to the call OF fire in the base
ment of the Hebrew school Saturday

asked to go to the fire.

headquarters to send a man there and
this was done. the message being re-
peated to Chemical No. /. The fire did
not gain sufficient Roadway to make
the call for the apparatus necessary
Only the furniture in the basement
was damaged. With the thick brick
walls there was very little chance for
the fire to spread TO the upper stories

Was Being Tested.

was DeAnE AestSus
A test of a new system of lights is
being made at the City Hall building,
as a great deal of night work is con-
templated for the near future.
The system being tried is not new so
far as the lights themselves are con-
cerned, but it is new in the sense that
II has not before been used on this
particular building. An illuminating
oil is being tried, which appears to be
better than the usual lights that are
used when night work is desired.
There is quite a lot of steel work
which can be done at night to advant-
age, and the oil lights will probably
be used great deal during the next
few weeks. The steel work, of course,
has to be kept considerably in advance
of the masonry. and so long as night
work is necessary to do this, the lights
will be employed.
