CONSTITUTION GIVES
SOLE JURISDICTION
To United States Over Military Res
ervntions.

To United States Over Military Res
ervations.
Considerable discussion followed the
announcement in the Morning News
that the passage of the proposed law
regarding Fort Screven might mean
the abandonment of the fort.
The matter has been carefully look
ed into and it has been found that sole
jurisdiction over such reservations is re-
served to the United States by the
constitution. Attention has been call
ed to Article 1, Section 8, Paragraph
II, which reads: In defining the pow
ers of Congress-:
ITO exercise exclusive legislation, in
all cases cases whatsoever, over such
district, mot exceeding ten miles
square,, as may, by cessien of particu-
lar states and the acceptance of Con-
gress, become the seat of the govern
ment of the United States; and to ex-
ercise like authority over all places
purchased by the consent of the Legis-
latUre of the state in which the same
shall BE for the erection of forts, maya
zines, arSenals, dock yards, and other
needful buildings"
The clause given above gives the gov
eminent the sole jurisdiction which
they claim and seems to deny the
privileges asked in the proposed law
of allowing state officers to serve civil
and criminal processes. Section 355,
of the revised statutes, in speaking of
the public moneys, says:
mo public money shall be expended
upon any site or land purchased by
the United States for the purpose of
erecting thereon any armory, fort, ar
senal. lighthouse, or any other public
building whatsoever. until the Attor-
ney General shall have given his writ
ten opinion in favor of the validity of
the title and until the consent of the
Legislature in the state in which the
said land or site may be, to such pur-
chase, has been given"
1t is held by those who have been
consulted on the matter that the two
sections quoted above, taken together,
make it impossible for the government
to spend any money until exclusive
jurisdiction has been secured.
The best way out of the difficulty,
as suggested by prominent attorney,
is to reaffirm the act of 1908, under
which work has thus far proceeded.
That is better than a new law as the
old act gives the government "exclu-
sive jurisdiction" over such lands as
have been already or may be here
after purchased

COLD STORAGE
FOR SAVANNAH
WILL ADD TO ICE PLANT.
TO BE ERECTED DURING COMING
YEAR BY BUTCHERS.

Butchers Decided to Build Ice Plant
at Meeting Yesterday-LarGe
Amount of Stock Already Sub
scribed-WiH Have Capacity of
80 Tons and May BE Increased to
Cotton PIant-COId Storage Will
he Added Next Year.
Within a year the butchers of Sa-
vannah will have built themselves an
ice plant, and within another year the
city will have a large cold storage
plant This action was decided on at
a meeting of the Butchers Association
yesterday.
The butchers have become weary,
they say, of the high charges for ice
and storage that they have been COM
PEELED to pay and decided to remedy
1t. Some time ago committee began
communicating with Northern con-
Germs and the terms on which an ice
plant can be built were made so low
that when presented to the association
it was unanimously decided to erect
one.
The association will form itself into
a stock company and bear the entire
cost of erecting the plant. A large
number of the shares have already
been taken by the butchers and others
have notified the committee that they
will attach their names to the list to-
day. b..
Will Apply for Charter.
tai stock. the exact amount of which
has not yet been determined upon, is
paid in, the incorporators will apply to
the Superior Court for a charter. The
work will then be rushed and the plant
completed as soon as possible.
1t was stated by President M. S.
Gardner that the plant would positive
ly be in readiness for operation by June
of next year. and possibly by May.
THE terms offered u.s." he said, were
very good, and the members of the
association have shown the greatest
enthusiasm for the project. We shall
begin by erecting Bottom plant, and
If circumstances warrant it, we shall
increase it to fifty tons capacity.
Will Add Cold Storage.
I'm the course of another year" con-
tinued Mr.. Gardner, 1--WE will add a
cold storage plant to the ice plant.
This is an Improvement, which win
be heartily welcomed in Savannah, the
need of such plant having been felt
here for some time. Atlanta now has
two large plants, and Savannah has
none.
THE cold storage will be for the
benefit of the entire city and not for
the butchers alone. 1t can be used
by the Bay street firms that import
fruit and other goods of like character
that. unless placed in cold storage, will
spoil during the heated months. Here
tofore such goods have been sold out
way below cost to avoid a total loss.
Cold Storage for Dry Goods.
1.-The cold storage will also prove OF
great benefit to the large merchants
ike Mr.. Adler Mr. Levy, Jackson &
Gutman, and other Broughton street
firms. At present all their wooden
goods are laid away during the summer
with moth balls and other similar de-
vices, a system that is way out OF
date and which has been supplanted in
the progressive cities of the North
with cold storage.
"Of course all of this cannot be done
at once, as the expense would be toe
heavy for us. We shall first build our
ice plant, which has become almost a
necessity with us. That will be fol-
lowed within another year by the adj
dition of the cold storage"
