GEORGIA Street Leased.

Th. matter of leasing the end OF
Georgia street from Barraque to the
river to Mrs. Brockway came up for
: Considerable discussion and consumed
a lot of time. Mr.. Pierce, who now
occupies a part of the property. ad-
dressed the council by permission, and
begged that the street be not leased
to Mrs Brockway.
Alderman Nichol objected to the
proposed lease. He thought it was set
ting a bad precedent to lease the city
streets to anyone.
Alderman Boyce moved that twenty
FIVE feet of the street on each side be
leased to each of the applicants.
Brockway and Pierce, for the sum of
$40 per annum each, for period of
ten years. The resolution was adopt
ed, by five ayes and three nays.
Alderman Boyce moved that the
wooden awning in front of the new
Ingram building and the shed in the
rear of the Western Union Office be
torn down, declaring they were dan
gerous on account of fire and within
the fire limits. The motion was made
to include all other such structures.
The motion prevailed.

Ii the statement of the cotton
movement for the week ending Au-
gust 4. prepared by VIM. V. King of
New York. the interesting statement
is made that 13,2S5,62G bales have
been brought into sight thus far for
this season, which is ample proof that
the cotton crop last year was an un-
usually large one-larger than many
believed it to be. When the figures go
over thirteen and one-quarter million
bales in sight at present, it certainly
bears out the report of the govern
ment early in the season that there
was thirteen million bale crop,
which report caused big protest at
the time. as it was thought to be an
Overestimate.
