Through Army
Road to Tybee
Plan Is Revived
Chamber of Commerce VIII Be
Asked 10 Urge Federal
Appropriation.

SAVANNAH, July 5.-The PROPOSE
ton to build a through highway from
Savannah to Tybee, making it a mill
tary turnpike, doubtless will be re
vived at the July meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce. Arthur w
Solomon, a director in the Chamber,
and secretary of the Savannah Auto
mobile Club, will bring the matter up
for consideration.
Two routes were considered year
ago. One was via Wilmington Is
land, making the turnpike contin-
uation to Tybee, with a ferry as a
means of crossing Wilmington River.
The other scheme was to have the
road parallel the Tybee branch of the
Central Of Georgia Railway, which
would reduce the number of streams
to be crossed and make 1t possible for
the same bridges used by the railroad
to be used for the highway.
Under the old scheme 1t was plan
ned to have the road built by pri-
vate parties in cooperation with the
Federal Government. 1t now is
planned TO have the matter taken up
by Chatham County's Representatives
in Congress, with the idea of secur-
ing the passage of a bill appropriat-
ing money to defray the cost of con-
structing the road.

City and Private Company Strive
for Supremacy-Bond EIeC-
ton to End Fight,
BIRMINGHAM CASH INVESTED
Municipal Plant Aim Of Business
Mems CIub-Company Gets
Favored Site on River.

COLUMBUS, July 5.-For the past
ten years there has been constant
warfare between the city OF Column
bus and the Columbus Waterworks
Company, but with the approach Ct
another waterworks bond campaign
the outlook is that the end is near
for it generally is admitted that the
whole question will be settled one way
or the other with the election to be
held October 1s.
The waterworks situation in Co
lumbus Is interesting. For several
years there has been no contract be-
tween the city and the company, be-
cause OF litigation, but an old con-
tract is serving.
Eleven years ago the city voted Il
1856, 900 bond issue with which to put
in waterworks system, but the
bonds never were sold and more than
S10O, 600 worth have expired by limi
tation, but during that time there has
been constant litigation on between
the city and the waterworks compa
ny, which also has been wrestling
with the bankruptcy courts.
Three Birmingham, Ala, capitalists
John B. Weakley, Eugene Flies and
w. c. Hamilton-last fall purchased
the old Columbus Waterworks Com
pany and changed its name to the
Columbus Water Supply Company
They purchased recently 100000
worth of piping and other materia
to be used in improving its system
Now the City Council has come fog
ward with a waterworks bond issa"
for $45O,000 So, which, if they car
ry, are to be used in building a mu-
nicipal waterworks system. The city
has gone a step further and refused
to grant the waterworks company
permission to lay any other mains In
the city, after the company had pur-
chased an immense amount OF piping
ranging from 10 to Is inches.
The old waterworks bondholders
were scattered throughout the North
and East, and among the number who
had stock in the plant was daugh-
ter of General Robert e. Lee. Not
any were people Of wealth. but all
were well known, and as a result OF
the failure of the waterworks sys-
tenn and the continued litigation
many had their small fortunes swept
away.
A Municipal Ownership Club has
been organized by business men Of
Columbus and it will conduct yigor-
Gus campaign to carry the bonds.
w. o. Johnson has been made per-
manent secretary. while T. E. Golden,
president of the Golden Foundry and
Machine Shops, is president. Ounces
have been established and a general
publicity campaign win begin at once.
1t has been practically demon
strated that there is only one source
of water supply-the Chattahoochee
River-and the Columbus Water Sup
ply Company has recently come in
possession of the most available place
for a settling basin. 1t is .probaole
that if the bond issue carries there
will be further litigation.
In the meantime the water analysis
at present shows that the river Is at
fording the best water that the city
has ever enjoyed.

Soda Clerks Mutiny;
Demand Better Pay
As High Skill Required at Fountain
as in Sanctuary of Chef,
They Declare.

SAVANNAH, July Preparatory
to asking for higher wages and
shorter working hours, soda water
dispensers are planning to form
union. They say they are determined
to walk out If other means fail.
The clerks say they work for a
minimum Of ten hours a day, with
maximum of sixteen hours, and that
they do not receive enough pay. They
hold that their art is one that re-
quires just as much skill and knowl-
edge of how TO tickle the palate, as
hotel and restaurant chefs, bakers
and cooks at other public establish
ments where edibles are served.
There are in Savannah about $50
soda "jerkers." The majority of them
were members of a union that broke
up something over year ago when
the treasurer disappeared with the
total funds of the organization.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July s.
Springfield proposes to make mash

Complaints about men who ogle
young girls and not infrequently at
tempt to open conversation with them
have been frequent, and the Mayor,

The Aldermen voted to refer the
matter to City Solicitor Adams, with
instructions to draft such an ordi-
nance.
IF the Aldermen will give me the
right kind of an ordinance-the more
drastic the better-mashing will
speedily become a lost art in Spring

MANAGER TOO
EXTRAVAGANT.
SAYS BRINSON
Builder and Chief Stakeholder Of
Railroad Wants to Gust New

SAVANNAH, July 5.-Because II IA
costing nearly $4,000 a month more
to operate the Brinson Railroad IN
der the management of Richard Nor
gan, representing the interests of
James Imbrte, the New York f1nan-
cier than under the old regime,
George NJ. Brinson, president of the
road and the man who built it, is
making every effort to GUST Morgan
and regain personal control Of the
porperty.
Imbrie, who has sold many securi-
ties for the road with the understand
ing that he was to have a voice in
naming the manager of the property,
desires to keep Morgan and continue
his policies
A conference between the conflict
ing interests has been on for the last
three days in an effort to arrive at
some settlement
Crimson contends that If the pres
ruptcy or a receivership. During the
four months that Morgan has been in
charge the operating expenses have
increased something like $4,000, as
compared to the same four months of
1912.
While Brinson is understood to
have much of his stock in the road
hypothecated, it is equally true THAI
the notes which this stock was used
to protect will not be due until the
fall of 1914, and he has until tina.
time to retain control of affairs.
