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

SAVANNAH, July 5.-Thc 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 a year
ago. One was via Wilmington Is
land, making the turnpike a 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 it 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 defvay the cost Of con-
struCting the road.

has gone a step further and refused

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

had stock in the plant was a daugh-
ter of General Robert z. Lee. Not

gan, representing the interests Of
James Imbrie, the New York fnan-
cier, than under the old regime.
George NJ. Crimson, president of the

making every effort to Gust Morgan
and regain personal control Of the
pOrperty.
Tmbrie, who has sold many securf-
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.
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
ent policy goes on, II means bank
ruptcy or receivership. During the
four months that Morgan has been in
charge the operating expenses have
increa sed 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, II is equally true that
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.

Line notified the City Council that
Savannah Avenue belonged TO it, and
the company had decided that it
didn't want to pave its property. Su-
perintendent R. A McCranie. of the
Atlantic Coast Line, attended the
meeting of the City Council yester-
day, presenting his company's con-
tentions. Neither side would recede
from its position. and nothing affect
ing the ownership of the avenue was
done.
Superintendent McCranie sought to
obtain from the Council admissions in
writing that the railroad company
owns the avenue, and that the pro-
posed paving will not affect it's own
ership. The Mayor and Council re-
fused to make any such admissions
and notified Mr. McCranie that If the
city paved the avenue Il would be
done on the same basis as other paw
ing. leaving the question Of owner
