TO USE $4,000 FOR
PERMANENT ROADS
County Board Decides That
$4,000 Is Enough for
''Road Repairs

The board of county commissioners,
at a special meeting held yesterday for
the purpose of considering the budget
for 1905, voted fayorably upon the item
of 5000 for permanent roads in Ram
sey county. In addition to this amount
the sum of $4,000 was voted for road
REPAIRS
The resolution was introduced by
Commissioner Seng and was passed in
the face of strenuous opposition by
Commissioner Pottgieser, who opposed
any increase in the budget whatever.
Commissioner Powers, the Mounds
View member, dissatisfied with the
meager allowance of but $4,000 for re-
pairs, also opposed the resolution.
The road and bridge fund for 1906
will be increased $4,000 over the pres
ent year, the total budget allowance
for this work being $4,000 for next
year. The Good Roads association
asked for an increase of $4,000, but
the members were satisfied with the
amount voted.
The manner in which the resolution
was worded apd passed means reve-
luton of the present system of road
work in Ramsey county. It means that
$4,000 will be available next year for
permanent roads and that the so called
repairs will be restricted to $4,000.
This year, and in past years, the road
and bridge fund appropriation has been
made in lump sum, and it was left
with the county board to spend as that
body saw fit Out of the $4,000 that
has been appropriated. a large portion
of it has been expended for repairs,
and when the repairs were paid for
very little has been left for permanent
roads.

FIRST EVIDENCE FOR
CITY Is INTRODUCED.
Assistant City Engineer Howard
Presents Several Maps.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Maj. ]. Ferris Cam stated that the
plaintiff rested its case in the litigation
Garrard at once began introducing evil
dence for the city, tending to prove
it's ownership of the park.
Assistant City Engineer John W.
Howard was the first witness called
to the stand. He brought to the jury
several maps of the city and explained
them and their significance. Several
of the maps were very old.
The first real struggle between coun-
sci began when Col Garrard wished
to introduce as evidence a map made
by Mr.. Howard and Mr.. Bell in 1900
Mr.. Richards, who is associated with
Maj. Cam in the case, at once inter-
posed an objection, stating that the
late date at which the map was made,
made 1t improper evidence. Counsel
then began their argument.
Judge Seabrook stated when the ar
gument commenced and both counsel
began citing cases in support of their
views. that this was the first objection
of importance raised, and he hoped
the case would not be, delayed by q
series of them. At the close of the
argument, the court overruled the OBJ
lection of Mr.. Richards. Mr.. Howard
was still on the stand when court ad-
journed for the day.
The early part of the day was taken
up by the plaintiffs in concluding their
case. Daniel O'Donovan stated that
he had known the place to be used for
sampling cotton and other similar pur-
poses, but had never heard of it being
used as park. John Robinson testi-
fled that he had known the locality
since 1852, but never had heard of 1t
as a park until recently. The benches,
he said, were placed there recently
Mr.. j. r. Saussy testified to having
been familiar with the place since 1850.
He stated that it had become covered
with grass as had Abercorn street and
OglethOrpe avenue when they were
not in use for some time. He had never
heard of the place as a park until the
arrest of the men for driving through
it.
NJ. j. Donnally and George Lehwald
testified that they had been in the
drayage business for years, were ac-
cuStOmed to drive through the section
in dispute, and were never molested.
Mr.. Victor Schreck was called and
introduced several photographs which
he had taken of the place. When ask
ed by Maj. Cam if he remembered
having seen hitching posts in the park
he stated that he had, and that they
were plainly discernible in the photo
graphs The photographs were then
passed to the jury.
The trial of the case will be resumed
with the opening of court this morn
| ing.

PLAN IS NOW ON
TO CONDEMN
ALL THE SHELL PAVEMENTS.
JONES AND HENRY, AS WELL AS
HALL, TO BE EXAMINED.

Chairman Davant, of Streets and
Lanes Committee, and the Director
of Public Works Held Conference
Yesterday and Condemnation
Plan Was Decided UPOn-Matter
Will BE Brought Up at Next Meet
ing of COunciI-NO More She'll
Streets for Savannah.
Not only the shell pavement on Hall
street, but Jones and Henry streets as
well, are to be condemned and vitri-
fed brick put down instead.
The matter will be taken up at once
and an investigation of the condition
of the pavements made, SO that it may
be presented to Council at it's next
regular meeting.
This was determined upon at con-
ference yesterday between Alderman
Davant, the chairman of the Streets
and Lanes Committee, and the director
of public works. 1t is estimated that
the paving of these three streets will
just about take up the balance of this
years paving appropriation, which is
now left on hand.
BEGINNING of Crusade.
1t is thought that the adoption of
the resulotion in regard to Hall street
Wednesday night by Council was the
beginning of a shell pavement crusade,
which will in time remove this mate
rial from every street in the city.
1t has been found that the pavement
does not wear well, when subjected to
great deal of traffic, as is the case
on city streets. The pavements are
not only worn out, but are very dusty.
Where steamed oyster shells are
used, they soon powder up, leaving
nothing but a fine dust. In many
places, where the pavements have only
recently been repaired, the streets are
in as bad condition as before.
Aldermen Seem Unit.
Practically all of the aldermen agree
in regard to the shell pavements. 1t
is probable that all three of the streets
mentioned in the foregoing, will be
condemned at the next Council meet
ing without a single dissenting vote.
The director of public works and the
city engineer were instructed in the
Hall street resolution to examine the
pavement and report at the next meet
ing. Because of the conference yester-
day, all three of the streets will be eX-
amined and reported upon.
No more shell pavements will ever
be put down in Savannah. said an al
derman yesterday, who is especially in
terested in the present proceedings, and
those Ravements that are all ready
down will be replaced with other ma
terial as rapidly as possible.

on Fire and Slipped Trolley.
Car No. l, returning from the Bolton
Street Ball Park yesterday afternoon,
did all kinds of queer things. No. Is
could not have had more mishaps
in the same space of time.
AS the car started from the ball
park, the trolley wheel slipped off the
wire That was merely an incident,
however While the trolley was being
put back on. a fuse in the rear of the
car blew cut. After this performance,
a start was made and the car went
at more than ordinary speed, until the
Bolton street power house was reach
ed.
There it took the curve, instead of
staying on the main track, and made
for the power house. The gates across
the tracks were closed and it looked
like the car was going to break
through. People screamed and a num-
Der of them jumped from the car The
motornfan managed to bring the car
to a halt just before reaching the
gates One lady could not be persuad-
ed to get back on the car however,
she had been so badly frightened.
The car was backed on the main
track and again started for the city.
Within a short distance, it was dis
covered that the storm curtain on
the rear of the car, which was close
ly rolled up, had been set on fire when
the fuse blew out. 1t was slowly burn
ing, not having burst into flames. AT
ter the fire was eXtinguished, the trip
down town was made without Incl
dent.

FROM ANNUAL TRAMP
E'BlSMARK" HAS RETURNED.
River Character Walked from New
Orleans in Sixty-Five Days.

River Character Walked from New
Orleans in sixty-Five Days.
A noted character along the river
front, Frank Niglas, who is better
known as "Bismark," disappeared last
fall and it was thought he was dead
until his arrival in the city few days
ago from New Orleans. The trip from
New Orleans was made by shanks
mare and it took "Bismark" sixty-five
days to cover the distance.
He is now at the Savannah Hospital,
where he will remain until he is rest
ed from his long journey. He was seen
by a representative of the Morning
News and stated that since he left Sa-
Vannah last September he has walked
to st. Louis, and thence to New Or
leans, where he spent few weeks be-
fore starting on his return trip to Sa-
Vannah.
"Bismark" is a unique character
and is said to speak at least five Ian
guages. Twenty-Five years ago he
made his first appearance in this city,
and was for number of years inter-
ested in the brokerage business. For
over fifteen years the only work which
he has performed has been an occa-
sional job as Waterman on some
vessel anchored in the harbor. He has
been makinfi his annual tour to New
Orleans for several years.
For some years it was his custom
on his return trips to apply for ad-
mission to st. Joseph's Hospital, and in
one way or another he would make it
convenient to remain there for several
months. A physician, in speaking of
the man, said yesterday that when
ever the hospital physician gave orders
to the nurse to dismiss "Bismark' he
would complain of having an awful
fever. Before the nurse registered his
temperature "Bismark" would take a
mouthful of almost boiling water and
allow it to soak in his mouth for a
few minutes, and in this way would
run the temperature up several de-
greeS higher than it would have been.
The nurse would report to the physi-
clan that "Bismark's' temperature
was several degrees above normal and
the physician would then rescind his
order and allow him to remain in the
hospital few weeks longer. The ply
sician who told this story said that
'Bismark" kept it UP for two years
before the physicians at the hospital
caught on to his game.
The man is said to be a descendant
of the royal family of Belgium. He is
now nearly 60 years old, but declares
that if he is living next fall he will
again make his annual trip to New
Orleans. When he is ready to go on
his annual tramps he never says good
bye to anyone, but simply disappears.
He visited all his friends on Bay street
when he reached Savannah and then
went to the hospital and asked for adj
mission.

OPPOSED TO CHANGE
IN MEMORIAL DAY.
Gen. McGIashan Wants Date to Re-
main Unchanged.

Gen. McGIashan Wants Date to Re-
main Unchanged.
Gen. P. A. S. McGlashan. command
ing the Georgia Division, United Con-
federate Veterans, is strongly opposed
to the suggested change in the date of
the Confederate Memorial Day.
Il am unalterably opposed to any
change being made and do not believe
that the majority of Georgia veterans
and kindred associations want any"
said Gen McGlashan yesterday. One
of the chief reasons against change
is that it would probably mean the
abandonment of the day.
Every one in Georgia has been &C
customed TO look upon April 26 as Me-
mortal Day If a change should be
made none would feel just right in not
celebrating April 26 as Memorial Day,
and with the loss of April 26, a sense
of having lost the day and its signih-
canoe would be felt. Gradually, but
none the less surely, the observance of
the day would become less and less
general, until at last ii would cease to
be observed.
Furthermore, April % is an almost
ideal day for the purpose. There is
profusion of flowers for the decoration
of the graves. 1t is a time of year
when the weather is not too warm for
the veterans, the majority of whom
have now reached an age when they
could not endure long march in the
June heat.
Again Memorial Day is a day set
apart for honoring the dead, a mourn
ing day for the loss of thousands of
brave men. 1t should be kept separate
and distinct, day set aside for pay
ing tribute to the fallen heroes who
wore the gray.
LAS for honoring Davis, let us honor
him on his birthday in that way which
seems most appropriate. Let us have
Davis Day and honor the President of
the Confederacy on the anniversary of
mis- birth But let that occasion be sep
adate and distinct from Memorial Day,
the day dedicated to the memory Of
dead Confederate soldiers"
