ALDERMANIC SERVICES.

In closing my somewhat extended
remarks it is but due that / should
render praise to the aldermen of the
city for the faithful attention they
have given to the important duties in
trusted to them. AS a small recogni-
ton of the value of their services to
the community a bill was passed at
the last session of the Legislature pro-
viding a compensation of $40 for each
regular meeting of Council.
Only those who have assumed the re-
sponsibilties Of an alderman can well
be aware of the work attached to the
office and the time consumed in prop
erly meeting it's obligations. Savannah
has been fortunate in securing the serv-
ices of men who were willing to make
the personal sacrifices involved in the
position. During the year the board
had the misfortune TO lose, by resig-
nation, the valuable services of Alder
man Watson. whose long experience
and untiring service rendered him a
very valuable member of Council.
] desire to thank the gentlemen as
ISOLATED with me on this board for their
hearty and valuable cooperation dur
ing the past twelve months, knowing
that they have had the best interests
Of the city always at heart, and feel
ing assured of a continuance of the
same earnest and harmonious unity Of
action for the public veal during the
year on which we have just entered.
Respectfully submitted,
HERMAN MYERS. Mayor.

In my first administration as Mayor
an economical conduct of the city's
business, coupled with the natural in
crease in its revenues, enabled a re-
duction in the tax rate Qs96) from
$3.50 to $1.45. Since then there has
been no further reduction in the rate.
The assessed valuations on improve
ments have shown a considerable in
crease in the past year, $7S9,595, and
there is a promise of such extensive
building operations during 1904 that
am enabled to cherish the anticipation
that when Council, at the close of
this year, takes up the consideration
of the budget and tax ordinance 1t
can see it's way clear to further de-
crease of the rate from $1.45 per 500
to $1.39, or with the 10 per cent. dis
count a net tax rate of SIPS, giving
Savannah one of the most reasonable
tax rates in the United States.
It is with this in view that l have
recommended the additional discount
on the ground rent lots. With the new
City Hall entirely paid for this year,
we will be. / believe, in a position TO
lower the tax rate next January, and
at the same time provide for con-
tinuance of a liberal policy of public
improvements. Our departments of
necessity must grow with the city's
growth; our house drainage system
must be extended, and additional storm
sewers provided. The present sewers,
Director Gadsden reports, are made
quate to carry off the water. Mr..
Gadsden attributes this to extra work
thrown upon them by reason of addi-
tional street paving, but as the COM
plants seem to be of comparatively
recent origin, and the streets in ques-
ton have been paved several years,
1t is not improbable that structural
defects in the sewers, leading to their
choking up, may be responsible for the
trouble.
1 would suggest that a thorough ex-
animation of the storm sewers of the
city be made by engineers, their ex-
act condition determined, and that a
comprehensive plan of improvements
of this nature be then laid out, work
to be carried on over a period of years.
This is too important and too costly
a work to be carried on in a hap
hazard way. Like the house drainage
system, it should first be thoroughly
planned and then work be carried on
Systematically. But with this all in
mind 1 now believe that the city can
enter on another year with a reduction
in the tax rate as / have mentioned.
A net rate Of s1.25 could then be al
lowed to stand for many years without
change

COTTON AGAIN KING.
Given Place of Honor in the Special Agricultural
Exhibits
By A. c. CANTLEY.

st. Louis. Mo, Jan. liking Cot
ton," sitting on his throne in a mag
nificent cotton palace, viewing the cot
ton fields through the open doors and
windows and hearing the rumble of
cotton machinery of the mills in opera
ton, will be the central feature of the
special cotton exhibit in the agricul-
tural building at the Worlds Fair Of
1904.
Cotton is given the place of honor In
the arrangement of exhibits in the
great palace of agriculture, and this is
pre-eminently fitting in these Roose-
veltlan days, when the building of the
Panama canal will give the Southern
states a short route to the Orient,
where 5OO.0OO.OOO people wear cotton
cloth. The prophets say that the big
ditch" across the isthmus will revolu-
tionize the cotton growing and cotton
manufacturing industries in this coun-
try. and that the cotton mills will
move South, to be near the raw prod
uct and save expense and then the
battle will begin for America to cap
ture the greatest market for cotton
cloth in the world-on the other side of
the Pacific Ocean.
Through the center of the agricul-
tural palace, which covers twenty
acres. is a nave. LOG feet wide and 60
feet high, running the whole 1,6OO-foot
length of the vast structure. Thls
nave, on either side, is to be given over
to the five special exhibits of cotton
corn, tobacco, sugar and rice. Each
state can donate products for these
special exhibits, and, If desired, can
also have products of the same klnd
in their respective displays in the state
sections of the same building. Inns
grand nave through the agriculture
palace is the most wonderful vista OF
ever presented at an ex-
position, and the star special exhibit OF
this entire avenue will be cotton.
The location of the special cotton
exhibit will be in the geometrical CEN
ter of the 100000 square feet of space
in the agricultural palace, and will
also undoubtedly be the center of at
This exhibit will be installed behind

and appear of record in the Superior
Court, whereby the city paid on it's
part $1,000 and received deeds from the
Vernon Shell Road Company and D.
B. Lester. BY this means Bull street
was opened to the public.
In the equity suit of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway
Company VS.. the city, brought in 1898,
to enjoin the collection of the tax fl
fas levied on lots 45 and 46, Schley
Ward, on the ground that the lots
levied on were exempt from taxation
by the city because they were brought
within the corporate limits of the ex-
tension of act of 1854, which provided
that such property should not be taxed
until the plan of the city should be
regularly and bona fide extended
over" the same, the city amended its
answer at the trial in February last,
and set up that the proviso of the act
of 1854 was repealed by the constitu-
ton of 1877, which repealed all exemp-
tions The court, Judge Seabrook pre-
siding, sustained this plea and dis
missed the case, and the amount in
volved, $1,1S71S, was paid into the
treasury. This case was important
in settling the proposition that all the
large territory brought into the city
limits by the act of 1854, has been
taxable since 1877, despite the provision
in the act which has given the city so
much trouble
The hearing of the CASTOR
street paving case, pending in
the United States Court. was
begun in the spring of the year, but
the court stopped the trial, and re-
ferred the cause to commissioner to
take testimony and report and at the
same time urged the parties to come
TO an agreement. Numerous confer
ences have been held and at this time,
as you are aware, a petition is pend
ing in Council for the paving of the
street with asphalt.
Two other cases now pending trial
involve the city's ownership of GER
tain lands. In that of Morgan VS.. the
Mayor and Aldermen, the title to Fig
Island is at issue. The other, w. M.
Low, ct AL, vs. the Mayor and Alder
men, better known as the Emmett
Park case, is now ripe for trial, and
will, no doubt, be disposed of at or
before the March term of the Supe-
rior Court. The city, in this case,
maintains that Emmett Park is a pub
lie park by dedication and long usage
as such, while the property owners are
contending that their titles cover the
land to the line of Bay street.
In these and all other cases instrust-
ed to his care, our attorney has been
energetic in promoting and protecting
the interests Of the municipality.

LITIGATION CONCLUDED.

With each year the advisory work
of the city's legal officer increases, and
the Importance of the position is mag
nified. Savannah has been fortunate
in the past in securing the services of
able counsel, and the present city at
torney we'll sustains the high record of
his predecessors. During 1903, in ad-
dition to numerous opinions for the
Mayor, Council and it's committees, he
has been engaged in a number Of cases,
several of which were Of more than
ordinary interest and Importance. Lit
igation with the executors of the Low
ell estate, extending over number of
years, grew out Of the spur railroad
track from the Louisville road to the
new waterworks. built by the city to
carry material in constructing the wa
terworks, and thereafter conveyed to
the Central of Georgia Railroad and
used since for the TRANSPORTING of coal
and other supplies to the waterworks,
the city having taken possession of
lands belonging to the estate I'm ques-
ton, and. il was claimed. likewise in
jured certain other adjacent lands.
After much labor a settlement of the
case was accomplished in May, which
met with the approval of Council, by
which 81, 400 was raid 10 the executors
and S44. As costs. This confirmed the
city's title to land on which one of
its artesian wells is located, and in adj
dition It acquired an outlet for Stiles
avenue sixty feet wide across the Ogee-
chez canal and over the Lowell land TO
the Louisville road. At the same time
a satisfactory settlement was arrived
at of the claim of the city against these
executors for street paving on Louis
Vile road. and the execution was paid
with interest and costs.
Another important matter closed up
through our legal department, and of
unusual public interest. was the final
