The Savannah morning news., 1904-08-12

of the South; that Savannah has the
largest dock in the world, with 1000
feet of wharf frontage, the finest sys-
tenn Of free public schools in the South,
with ten years course of study, direct
railroad communication with all the
ports of the United States, more miles
of electric railway than any other
city Of it's size in the South purer
artesian water, thirty miles of well
paved streets, thousand of acres of
rich land in truck farms around the
city, and l will add a population sur
passed by no city for intelligence,
thrift, industry and sterling honesty
These conditions demonstrate the nee
essity for the expenditure of $250.000
for a new City Hall. Your wide-awake
and progressive Mayor, and other city
officials have done well and deserve
credit for planning and constructing
this magnificent building for the pres
ervation of your records and for the
dwelling place for your city officials
for a century 10 come.
Savannah's Railroads.
This splendid work, when completed,
will be an imperishabe monument to
the wisdom of your city officials. In
making this large expenditure they
have kept in view undoubtedly the
growth of this city, they doubtless cal
culated that in less than half of CEN
fury your population would double,
and that your commerce and taxable
values would increase more than three
fold. II we could lift the veil and be-
hold the future. doubtless these proph-
ecies would be more than realized.
What city in the South is surrounded
with such advantages? we know that
four OF the leading railroads of this
country: Central of Georgia. Atlantic
Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line and the
Southern Railway, with a gross mile
age of over $4,000 miles, and travers-
ing more than dozen states, center
here in Savannah.
Savannah is the natural outlet for
the products of more than a dozen
states. No one will question her SUI
periority as a port of outlet, who will
critically examine the agricultural
mineral and manufacturing belt sur
rounding this city. With thirty feet
of water so that the largest vessels can
enter your port, your exports will al
most double I'm few years. We know
that the building of an isthmian canal
is now a matter of certainty. When
this great waterway, connecting the
two oceans is completed, the commerce
of the South will be stimulated and in
creased beyond the expectation OF the
most sansuine friends Of the enter
prise. Your representatives in both
branches of Congress have labored
earnestly and zealously for the con-
struction of this great enterprise.
At last. we know that every obsta-
Gle has been removed and the Panama
canal Is certainty. With the opening
OF the canal Savannah's pre-eminence
as the chief port Of the thousand miles
of coast south Of Baltimore VIII be
even more fully established. Figures
furnished me by your honorable com
mittee point unerringly to the fact that
when this waterway Is completed Sa-
vannah will be by water 500 miles near
er the entrance 20 the canal than Bal
tirnore, go miles nearer than Philadel-
phia. and 705 miles nearer than New
York. The same committee tells ua
that suyannah's trade with South
