BETTER STREET cans NEEDED.


That decided improvement in
street cars is needed in Savannah there
doesn't seem any doubt. Indeed the
climate and general weather condi-
lions are such that a change ought to
be made at once by the Electric Com
pany for the comfort of it's many
patrons.
During all seasons of the year, and
especially in summer, heavy showers of
short duration are frequent. The rain
easily beats in around the canvas cur
tains which furnish the only protection,
and within few minutes both ends
of the seats are covered with water
and cannot be used. If there are but
few passengers on the cars they can
protect themselves from the rain by
budding in the middle of the seats,
but if the cars are crowded, as is
usually the case, those occupying end
seats are practically without shelter.
AS a rule. too, the rains do not last
sufficiently long to justify changing
the open for the closed cars.
In winter another disadvantage of
the cars in use appears. On the aver
age, three out of every five days dur
ing the cold season are sufficiently
warm to almost permit of open cars.
Fearing a return Of the cold, however,
the closed ones are kept in use, and
as a result the passengers are COM
PEELED to endure the close, sitting air
of an mventilated car
The difficulty seems easy of solution.
Recently several cars of a new style
were put on the Abercorn and Barnard
street line that remedied the trouble.
They were fitted with large, broad
windows that could be raised or lowered
at will. When all were down, the car
was as cool and comfortable for sum-
ones, and in case of rain the win
dows, when raised, afforded ample pro-
/ lection. During cold weather they
were made sufficiently warm by keep
| ing the windows closed and during the
warmer intervals the comfort Of the
passengers was assured by merely low
ering the windows.
| CNhSl WIVES VI 1llS NuHiA'iy aiS using

If they can have them, why not Sa-
vannah? Even under the present con-
ditions the patronage of the street cars
seems to be increasing, and it isn't I'M
probable that a far greater number OF
persons would avail themselves of the
advantages Of riding If the improved
style We're used on all lines. That the
increased traffic would soon pay for the
new cars there doesn't seem to be
much doubt and the Electric Company.

patrons.

We are sure that the report published
in the Morning News yesterday that
there is unusual activity, for this
season of the year, in the local real
! estate market was read by Savan-
nahians with satisfaction. And those
/ who are looking for sites for homes
| and for business locations are main
/ ly from the North and West. 1t
seems therefore that the fact that
! Savannah is a growing city is pretty
| generally known over the entire coun-
try.
1t is a fact that there is a good deal
of building going on in the city. Be-
side two great public buildings-one a
| City Hall and the other a government
! hospital-there are a great many resi-
| dences in the course of construction,
! together with several structures in
tended for business purposes. And the
indications now are that the build
ing boom win continue right along.
In the early fall ground will be broken
for a ten-story bank building, and other
Improvements that will add much to
the importance of the city are pro-
jected. Under the circumstances it is
not matter of wonder that there
is unusual activity in the local real
estate market.
An impression used to prevail that
building here in the South practically
ceased in the summer months because
of the heat, and in some localities that
impression may prevail still. That it
is erroneous is shown by the fact that
carpenters, stOnecutters, masons and
other workers on buildings get along
here better during the hot season
than they do in Northern cities. We
never hear of work being suspended,
even for an hour, on account of the
heat. Savannah builders are not in
terrupted by hot or cold weather. They
go right ahead, every day in the year
except Sundays and holidays, building
up the city, and all classes of me-
chanics are having all the work they
want.
One reason why Savannah is build
ing up so fast is the advantage she
has IN the matter OF ocean freight
rates. There are firms having their
headquarters elsewhere that do the
greater part of their business in this
city. They have their warehouses
here and make this city their distrib-
uting point. They may live in At
lanta, Augusta or Birmingham or other
cities and keep in touch with their
customers from these points, but their
stocks of goods are here.
That is not to be the case, however,
in respect to the great electric sup
ply house, which, it is expected the
Southern Bell Company will establish
here in the near future. Both the
warehouse and the headquarters will
be in this city. AS a matter of fact,
there is no reason why goods should
be carried to an interior point for dis
tribution when they can be stored
here and distributed just as satisfac-
torily, and, that too, for much less than
they can be carried inland and then
distributed.

Zion City is alarmed because an &C.

Dowie. The actress is said to be ex-
ceedingly pretty, but the unapprecia-
tive unkissed son has taken to hid

from the fact that he cannot be found
in Zion seemingly overlooking the fact
that young Gladstone may be en- route
TO Chicago to help the actress win her
bet. Although he is the son of Elijah
he is only human.

On of the most interesting features
of the recent sale of the Williams

Line stocks to Thomas F. Ryan is the
fact that the commissions amounted to
$4,000. Speculation is rife as to who
gets this snug little sum and the ma
jority are inclined to think that a
goodly portion of it will go to Mr.. S.
Davies Warfield, president of the Con-
tinental Trust Company, as it was
largely through his efforts that the big
