Augusta is cleaner now than it has
been in 20 years, according to official
opinion given b> Mayor Dunbar yes
terday after conferring with the dis
ferent departments in charge of clean
ing up the city. However, the work
of clearing off the remainder of the
debris will not be suspended until ev
ery vestige of the disaster wrought
by the flood has been wiped out of
existence. Hundreds of men are still
at work and everything possible will
be done to improve the city still fur
ther.
PLENTY OF WATER
IN FEW DAYS.
The water supply Is now the only
thing lacking to make the city com
plete. and within the present week It
is declared that the big reservoir on
the Hill will be full once more and
the regular pumping station in full
operation night and day.
Mishaps, time and again, have caus
ed a delay with water, but now every
precaution will be taken to see that
the pumping station is ready to be
put to work within a few days. Com
missioner Wingfield stated Saturday
that the pumps had been thoroughly
cleaned, all machinery put in ship
shape and when the water is turned
on there will be no hitch whatever.
Water in Reservoir is Ample
To Supply City Two Weeks
Wild ’rr 4s were afloat In th e city yesterday to the effect that
the city water supply In the reservoir had been exhausted and that
only a few hours remained befora Augusta would be facing a water
famine.
As a matter of fact however, there Is now plenty of water on hand,
to supply the needs of 'he city for two weeks at the present rate of
consumption Mayor Dunbar autho rises any one hearing these reports
to contradict them officialiy as there Is not the slightest foundation to
them.
In all probnhtJltv the full sup'p.y of eatar will be enjoyed by the city
within a week and there Is no cause whatever for alarm or apprehen
sion concerning the water supply. 1

STREET LIGHTS
NOT YET READY.
There is nothing definite about city
street lights just yet. The Augusta
Railway and Electric company select
ed August as the best month in which
to make repairs and additions to their
plant, and when the flood came "it
found most of their reserve boilers
down and new machinery waiting on
the outside to be put in. As yet this
work has not- been completed, and un
til it is finished there is no way to
get on the lights unless the canal
water becomes available before that
time.
The company is operating as many
cars as possible, and every conveni
ence the company can place at the
disposal of the public has been con
sidered. However, it may be a week
or ten days before the lights are
shining once again.
HUNDREDS AT
WORK ON STREETS.
The streets have been put in shape
with wonderful rapidity. Hundreds of
men have worked unceasingly since
the flood and within a few days tho
dangerous places were repaired. In
addition to the work of restoring the
streets much debris had to be re
moved and this took more work.
All the street force will be kept at
work for a considerable time longer,
says Mayor Dunbar. It is quits prob
able that Judge Eve will allow tho use
of 100 convicts and 20 teams until
the streets are In order once more.
Mayor Dunbar has entered negotia
tions for more gravel *to resurface
the streetg and he will have this
work done by the convicts ss they

I will have to be resurfaced practically
I all the way, despite the fact that
[new work was just completed on it
last year.
The lower part of the city did not
suffer as much as up town In this re
spect as the waters in that section
were more quiet than up-town. It
will take a month to get all the
streets in shape, but the work will
be completed before it is stopped.
The North Augusta bridge is one
of the most popular pussago-wavs In
the country today. Hundreds of wag
ons passed to and fro across the
structure Friday and Saturday and
a rousing business was done by Au
gusta merchants as a result.
The bridge will be completed just
as good as ever within the next few
days and in the meantime it is open
to the public for the passage of all
kinds of vehicles and traffic.
FERRY ON RIVER
IS ASSURED.
The establishment of a ferry across
the river is practically assured, as
the river and wharf committee of
council has Investigated the project
and considered it feasible. Mayor
Dunbar will probably call a meeting
of council to handle the matter with
in the next day or two.
If the right Is granted Mr. Geo.
8. Murpbey will at once prepare to
open the ferry and communication
will be opened near the Centre street
bridge. The ferry will probably op
erate from Mclntosh street.
The farmers of the South Carolina
territory are anxious to have Centre
street bridge re opened and they are
asking for the co-operation of Au
gusta merchants and business men
along with the commercial and in
jdustrial organizations of the city tn
securing speedy action on this mat
ter. The city authorities will prob
ably take up the matter as soon as
more pressing business is disposed
of Commissioner Wingfield states
that a steel bridge can be construct
ed over the river now with draw
| bridges at a cost of $50,000. This
| will give Centre street a bridge
equally as good as North Augusta
bridge.
An Immense amount of trade comes
Into Augusta from the section which ;
