Disclosures Expected
! To Feature Liquor
Probe In Savannah

SAVANNAH. Ca. Feb. 5.--If all
those who receive subpoenas to APP
pear before the grand jury\ of the
United States make their appearance
on next Tuesday morning. there will
be under way the most sweeping
investigation of the local liquor
situation that has ever been under
taken by the government. Hundreds
of subpoenas have been issued. They
have been served upon men who are
opposed to know a great deal about
the local traffic. If they tell all
they know there will doubtless be
some very interesting developments:
The character of the witnesses
summoned leaves no doubt that the
government is preparing to investi-
gate the local liquor situation. H. J.
Broderick, special investigator of the
intelligence department of the reve-
nue. department. has been in Savan-
nah several days and it is expected
he will have much to do with"< the
investigation to start Tuesday. Sub
poena servers have been busy for
the past couple of days notifying
people to appear before the federal
grand jury. :"

PLAN REDUCTION
INSURANCE RATES
WEST SIDE PROPERTY

Reduction Of the tax and insur-
ance rates on the west side was de-
cided upon by the city council in a
meeting a week ago last Tuesday,
and the Chamber of Commerce was
requested to cooperate in taking the
matter up with Washington Survey
and Rating Bureau with headQuart-
ers in Seattle.
Upon getting in touch with the
head of the bureau, the committee
was informed that q new schedule
of rates had been sent to the printer
providing for q reduction. The
Chamber was promised by the
bureau head, however, that as soon
as the new rates were returned, he
would communicate with them at
once concerning the +proposedN rsduc-
tion.
Az the water pressure is just az
high on the west side as on the
south side of. town, with the west
side rate about 80 per cent higher,
members Of the city council feel that
the residents in that district are en-
titled to the reduction. I
