Chairman of Memorial Committee.
In the Savannah Chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy, Miss
Dupont holds the responsible position
of chairman of the Memorial Commit
tee. She has served on this committee
for six years, and for the last four
years has been its chairman. To her
care is entrusted the duty of placing a
laurel wreath on the coffin of every
soldier who faithfully served the Con-
federacy, and her performance of this
duty has been above criticism
The custom of placing a laurel
wreath with the Confederate flag on
the caskets of the Confederate dead in
this community, originated with Miss
Dupont's father, who died just after
Memorial Day in 1895. He was unable
on that day to take part in the exer-
cises, being too ill, and his daughter
brought him a laurel wreath, saying
Papa, you couldn't got out with the
veterans, but here is your laurel
wreath
MY daughter" he said, IT want YOU
to place that wreath on my coffin with
the Confederate flag. Such decoration
is fitting for a soldiers bier" His
wish was fulfilled and so impressive
was the effect as to cause its perma
nent adoption by the Daughters of the
Confederacy.

COST OF TRIP TO ST. LOUIS FAIR.
Figured That So n Day VIII BE
Ample for the situation.

In order that prospective visitors to
the st. Louis exposition may have a
good idea of the expenses incident to
the trip. the Central of Georgia is
sending to its agents an estimate of
the cost of a trip.
No estimate is made of the cost of
transportation there, for this, of course,
depends on the distance and can be
readily ascertained from the nearest
ticket agent. The rest is not so easy.
AS a general estimate it is stated
that an expense of IS per day will be
entirely sufficient to see the main fea-
lures of the show. 1t is figured that
a room can be obtained for 81 per
day, and two good meals and a lunch
for SLIPS. The admission is so cents,
which will give the right to see the
fifteen exhibit palaces. the state build
ings, 600 acres of open air exhibits,
and the Philippine reservation. Car
fare goes down for 10 cents, a guide
book for 20 cents, making a total of
1910.
This leaves the visitor $190 for the
Pike, where he can spend little or up
to $40. If several days are consumed
the daily margin will be sufficient to
see everything that's worth looking at.
For a fifteen-day visit il is figured
out that the "trip will cost about $50.
This. of course, can be considerably
reduced by little economies daily.

LAW DELAYED
DRAWN SOME MONTHS AGO.
ORDINANCE is STILL IN HANDS OF
MAYOR MYERS.

Number of Matters Have Come Up
Recently That should Have Been
Decided by the Ordinnnce-ThOugh
Special Committee Agreed Upon
Provisions, IL Has Never Been Pre-
scented 10 Council for Passage ana
building Inspector Is Working
Under Disadvantage.
Almost every day something turns
up that illustrates the need of a proper
building ordinance for Savannah. Only
recently there have been several mat
ters before the Streets and Lanes Com
mittee, where the need of the ordi-
nance was shown.
Though the ordinance was drawn and
passed upon by the committee having
the matter in charge several months
ago, it has never been brought up in
Council for passage.
Since the committee passed on 1t, the
ordinance has been in the hands of
Mayor Myers. There is no apparent
cause for further delay and the Mayor
when asked about the matter last, said
II would be brought up some time soon.
The delay. he said, had been because
of a rush of other business.
The building inspector, it is contend
ed, is working under a serious disad-
vantage without the ordinance. The
city agreed with the Southeastern Tar
iff Association TO pass a new building
ordinance, and the regulations in the
- 4 Hxr
son of the city's agreement with the
tariff officials although the regulations
have not yet become law.
In a number of instances, the build
ing inspector simply has to act without
legal authority. 1t is doubtful if he
could force a property owner to do
some Of the things that are required,
if a test case should be made. The
city's only way to make an owner build
according to the regulations would be
by refusing to grant permit, unless
it was agreed to build as directed.
Alderman Davant. the chairman of
the Streets and Lanes Committee,
wanted to know yesterday what had
become of the ordinance. Mayor Myers
was out of the city and Acting Mavor
Dixon could give him no information.
Matters have come up before the chair
man of the Streets and Lanes Commit
tee which should be decided by the
new ordinance.
1t is thought the ordinance will be
taken up soon, since so many cases
have arisen, where its need is apparent.
Besides, the city expressly agreed with
the Tariff Association to pass a new
ordinance. The delay was not caused
by any defect in the ordnance. A spe-
cial committee has been over the orii-
nance a number of times, and it has
been passed upon.
