DIXON FAVORS
BUILDING LINES
AN ORDINANCE IS NEEDED.
COL. MERGERS SUGGESTION IN
DORSED BY ACTING MAYOR

Alderman Dixon Believes That such
an Ordinance would Do Much to
Mako savannah the Prettiest City
in the COuntry-Matter May BE
Taken Up by COuncil-The Build
ing of New Houses Could BE Reg
uIated without Trouble.
Savannah may yet have an ordinance
looking towards the identifying Of the
streets by a uniformity in the new
buildings.
Acting Mayor James NJ. Dixon said
yesterday that he heartily indorses the
suggestion of Col. Mercer, that an ordi-
nance be passed, fixing lines upon which
houses could be built.
The city, Alderman Dixon thinks, is
badly in need of such an ordinance.
Many streets that would otherwise be
beautiful are ruined by some few plac-
ing houses directly on the property
line, while other are set back
"Of course an ordinance could not in
terfere with any of the house already
built" said Alderman Dixon II should
be opposed to that. But we should have
an ordinance that will prevent build
ings being put directly on the street
in future, where the adjacent houses
are set back / would favor an ordi-
nance providing that all new houses
should have to be placed on a line with
the houses already built on the same
block. This would not improve mat
tiers much in the older sections of
the city, but it would in the new por-
rions.
LAS the matter stands now, one man
can ruin the appearance of a whole
block by building his house on the
street, while the others are set back.
1t is not fair TO the man who wants
to make his home attractive to allow
some one to come along and build n
house next to him on. or nearer, the
street, so that he is shut off from view.
Every house on a block should be on
the same line. This could not be ac-
complished at once, but by passing the
ordinance. the matter would be RENE
died in time and we would have the
prettiest city in the country"

WANTS $500 DAMAGES
FROM TROLLEY COMPANY.
John Jones Claims He Was Perma-
nentIy Injured in Collision.

JOhn Jones Claims He was Perma-
nentIy Injured in Collision.
In the Superior Court yesterday John
Jones filed suit for damages in the sum
of $500, against the Savannah Elec-
trio Company, for injuries sustained.
The suit was filed through Garrard &
Meldrim and Mr.. w. N. Clark.
The plaintiff alleges that on Feb.
%, 1904 he boarded a car of the COM
pany at West Broad and Harris streets.
While on the car near West Broad and
Huntingdon streets, a collision occuE-
red. The force Of the collision, it is
alleged, threw the complainant to the
street, bruising him severely, knock
ing his teeth loose, and injuring him
permanently internally. Claiming that
the accident was due to carelessness on
the part of the defendant company, the
plaintiff asks damages in the sum
given above.
The motion for a new trial in the
case of Collins Grayson & Co., against
the Florida Central and Peninsular
Railway Company, was dismissed by
Judge Cam. At the trial of the cases
damages in the sum of $71.79 were
awarded the plaintiffs.
An order of the court was handed
down, naming Mary z. Jones trustee
of the estate, held in trust for the
Jones children. all minors. D. D.
Stanton was appointed guardion ad Ii
tenn of the minors. The trustee was
given permission to encroach on the
body of the estate, not to exceed $780,
for the purpose of meeting certain
debts now due.

BIG SUPPLY HOUSE
WILL MOVE HERE.
Chasmar-King supply Company Sees
SnVannah's Advantages.

SnVannah's Advantages.
The main Office of the Chasmar- King
Supply Company will be moved to Sa-
vannah the latter part of this month
from Charlotte, because Savannah Of
fers greater inducements than any
other place in this section.
The company now has a branch
warehouse in this city and gives as. its
reason for moving the headquarters to
this city that it can secure better in
coming and outgoing freight rates at
this point than at Charlotte.
Mr.. G.. H. Chasmar, the senior mem
Der of the firm, spent yesterday in the
city. He stated that when the COM
pany established it's warehouse here
last October it was with the idea of
having a suitable distributing point for
the South Atlantic states. Since NOV
ing here, however, the company has
determined that Savannah is much
better location for the main office.
In referring to the freight rates Mr..
Chasmar said that on account of the
fact that there is very little competi-
tion between the railroads coming into
Charlotte the freight rates are very
high. He declares that he can ship
from Savannah to points in Eastern
North Carolina and secure a much
lower rate than it would have been
possible for him to have secured in
Charlotte.
The Chasmar- King Supply Company
is the only house south of Richmond
dealing exclusively in plumbers sup
plies, and covers the entire Southern
territory. Several travelling statesmen
are kept on the road and Mr.. Chasmar
says in order to compete with the
Northern supply houses it is necessary
to secure the lowest freight rates. The
company is now occupying the two large
warehouses at No. 126-130 Bay street,
west.

CHAIRMAN KEfM PLEASED.
Says Dayton's Victory in Davis Home
is a Notable One.
pondence Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
CUMBERLAND, Nd, November IL, 1904.
N. G. Keim, chairman of the republican
congressional committee of the second West
Virginia district arrived in Cumberland last
night on his way to his home in Elkins, hav-
ing closed headquarters at Terra Alta. Mr..
Keim Is particularly pleased over the re-
election Of Representative Aston G. Day
ton, his plurality being very large. Mr..
Keim estimates it will be over 1000 He
says the fight in West Virginia was CEN
tered by the democrats In the second dis
trict, which makes the Dayton victory all
the more notable.
The second district Is the home of Henry
G Davis, the democratic nominee for Vice
President; of John J. Cornwell nominee for
governor; Of Judge Dent, nominee for judge
of the supreme court of appeals, and of
John 7. McGraw, the democratic leader,
who was candidate for the United States
senatorship. Aside from this the demo-
Gratis, he declares, made a special attack on
Mr.. Dayton as the one who was primarily
responsible for the alleged Ubiquitous tax
reform measure. His opponent, Mr.. Stuart
w. Walker, made the tax question the
issue in his speeches and did not attempt
to discuss national questions.
Dayton was the especial target for the
democracy and had ALI its power conferred
on him even in financial way, the demo-
publcans. In spite Of this handicap the
republican victory, due to the fine organ
ization effected by Mr.. Keim, was most
notable,
