The Enterprise Street Railway Protest
Vigorously Because First Come Was
Not First Served—The South Lake
and Germantown Declined to Accept
What Council Granted It—The Ordi
nance Granting Rights of Way to a
Third Lin# Tabled—A Resolution to
Asphalt Bay from Whitaker to Cray
ton Street Talked to Death.
The city council resumed its night session*
last night in regular semi-monthly meeting.
Aldermen Haines. Mills and Nichols were
the absent members. The session was a
short one and the principal business was
street railway matter.
THE SAVANNAH CITY RAILWAY.
The special committee to which was
referred the ordinance granting the Savan
nah City Railway Company the right of
way through certain streets in the
city, and other privileges, brought in a re
port recommending that the ordinance be
laid on the table for the present, and that
the time within which the company is to
begin to construct their road be extended to
Jan. 1, 1890, but, evidently, 1891 was in
tended. The committee further recom
mended that the grant should be under the
following condi ions:
“That the railway is to be located by the
committee on streets and lanes.
“That the said company shall reimburse
the oity for any outlays that the city may
make, after the adoption of this report, in
opening streets and paying for the land
necessary therefor, according to the city’s
plan, along the line of the route allowed the
said oompauy.
“That the said company, before the use of
electricity as a motive power, shall enter
into an agreement to be bound by all terms,
conditions and stipulations of the ordinance
recently passed by council eutitied ‘An
ordinance to authorize the Bavannah Street
and Rural Resort Railway Company, the
City and Suburban Kailway Company, and
the Coast Line railroad, corporations located
in the city of Bavannab, to use electricity
as a motive power for their cars in the
streets of the city of Savannah upon the
terms and conditions herein expressed, and
for other purposes’
“The said company shall be bound by all
lawful ordinances and resolutions the coun
cil of the city may see fit to pass respecting
their railroad.
"Within fifteen days from the adoption of
this report petitioners shall signify in writ
ing, to be filed with the clerk of council, the
route accepted by it under the permission
hereby granted, and upon the terms aud
conditions hereby mentioned.
“That in the event the track or tracks of
any railway company should occupy auy of
the streets through which right of way has
been granted to the Savannah City Railway
Company, and additional tracks are con
sidered inexpedient, thereupon the city re
serves the right to designate for the use of
said Savannah City Railway Company
other streets than those now applied for by
them.”
This report, with its recommendations,
was unanimously adopted and the ordinance
laid on the table.
THE SOUTH EASTERN COMPANY.
The special committee on street railways
brought in another report, which was
adopted, recommending the following sub
stitute for the second condition of the grant
to the Savannah Heal Estate, Loan and
Building Company:
That the oompany for whose benoflt the
street railway is desired shall lay oil such
lauds ae they may now own or control, ac
cording to the plan of the city. That when
ever any sale of such property is made it
shall be subject to such plan. That In
deeds to purchases from the companies, or
either of them, the right of the ciiy to
streets through the said land shall be fully
secured as herein set forth, to wit: That
whenever the city shall have opened streets,
according to its said plan, up to the prop
erty now owned by said companies, the
latter each agree to deed to the city, free of
charge, bucU land as may be necessary for
the extension of the said plan of the city
over the property of the said companies. A
further provision is made that the company
shall open, or reimburse the city for open
ing, any street or streets along the line of
the route granted.
A VIGOROUS PROTEST.
The Enterprise Street Railroad Company
sent in a vigorous communication, w hich
was referred to tho special committee on
•treats and railroads, and W. B. Stillwell,
£ resident of the oompany, was present and
eard his communication duly read.
The company ask a reconsideration of the
action of council at its meeting of Aug. 14.
They allege that the route fixed by council
for the Enterprise road is not what they
■wanted; that the route was carefully choseu
by the company, with a view of giving a
large number of citizens street car
facilities they do not now enjoy, and
the streets designated in their ap plication
■were not in use by any existing lines, nor
was any company applying for them. They
claim that they are denied streets essential
to their system, to wit: Price street and
Bryan, and streets substituted by council
that the company cannot utilize. On this
subject the company says:
"We would not complain of the action of
council if it were t>ased upon an objection
to the use of the streets which we desire for
railroad purposes, but when these
streets which are denied to us have been
given to other companies whose appli
cations were subsequent to ours, and
some of whom had not even been chartered,
we do most respectfully say that we have
good reason to ask at the hands of your
honorable body reconsideration of your
action in the premises. Barnard street,
denied to us, is apportioned by your
special committee to a line which already
enjoys the right and privilege of Mont
gomery street, and whioii thus parallels
within two blocks the further privilege
granted it. Price street, too, which was
equally essential to our plan, is eliminated
from our route and is given likewise to a
subsequent applicant that has not even been
chartered, and whose purpose, as expressed,
of developing a certain tract of laud lying
to the eastward of the city could bo accom
plished by the use of Linoolu street.”
The further statement is made by the En
terprise company that the line tendered it
out Lincoln street is impracticable, as it
would cross the Savaunah, Florida and
Western railway twioe within a short
distance, and cannot reach Twelfth street,
as the latter is not extended east beyond
Bull street. Hot having been accorded a
hearing before the special committee before
the passage of the ordinance, a hearing is
now asked for.
ANOTHER DISSATISFIED COMPANY.
The South Lake aud Germantown railway
is also dissatisfied because the rights of
of way over tbe streets indicated in its
petition were not granted, and the follow
ing letter, on non-acceptance, from William
Rogers, president of the company, was
read in council:
“I beg leave to inform you that the South
Lake and Germantown railway is willing
to accept the terms aud conditions stated in
the report of your special committee to
whom wes referred its applicatiou for
the use of certain streets for its railway,
but tnat ojr oompany desires to build its
road upon the route mentioned in our ap
plication, and not upon that indicated in
said report. 1 rest ootfuily beg that your
honorable body will rooontider the action
taken so far at to give to our oompauy the
use of the street# mentioned in our petition.
Since cur Ut communication to the coun
cil our company ha* been duly chartered,
and it is reedy to proceed In good faith
and give to the public the benefit that will
accrue from the construction of its road."
TH* BELT USB SATISFIED.
The Belt Line oonmany, through its
oouusel, Messrs. Lawton & Cunningham,
accepted the gram and condition* made by
council, which acceptance was referred to
tha special committee on street railroads.
The committee reported adversely to
making any appro; nation for concerts in
j the park by Cobb’s band, setting forth in
; its report that the city council has no au
thority to appropriate money for that pur
pose.
Messrs. Collat Bros, having agreed to
, cover all the exposed woodwork in the in
u-as and exterior of their new building
galvanized iron, the protest of Lawton
& Cunningham was withdrawn by consent.
An ordinance was read the first and
second times reducing the assessment on a
lot owned by J. P. Long. Mr. Long being
ill at the hospital, was unable to go before
the committee of assessments at the proper
time. The ordinance proposed reduces the
valuation from $6,500 to $5,500. It was re
ferred to tbs finance committee.
MUSIC OF TRAFFIC ON THE BAY.
The question of asphalting Bay street, be
tween Whitaker and Drayton, gave rite to
quite an animated discussion between those
in favor of and those opposed to asphalting
that portion of Bay street, and was precipi
tated by the reading of an estimate of the
cost by* City Engineer W. J. Winn, whiob
report was called for by Alderman Bailv.
CoL Winn presented two estimates,
one for sheet asphalt paving and
t e other for paving with granite blocks.
These estimate*, which were approximated,
fixed the c ist of sheet asphalting at $12,925,
and after deducting the proportion which
ho estimates would be paid by the street
I bill way companies and property owners,
the approximate cost would be $8,058.21.
Thu cost of paving with granite blocks
be estimates at $12,875, to be further re
duced by deducting what the street rail
ways and pioperty owners would have to
pay, making the net cost for granite paving
$7,714 92.
Alderman Bailey offered a resolution
authorizing the street and lane committee
to asphalt Bay street from Whitaker to
Drayton.
IS THE CITY EXCHANGE GETTING SHAKY?
Alderman Carton suggosted that before
they pavei Bay street they had better think
of getting rid of the city exobange before it
tumbled over their heads.
Alderman Cauu questioned Engineer
W inn and City Attorney Adams as to
whether the city could require the street
railway compauies to bear a proportion of
the expense of the asphalt paving after
having oolleoted from them for previous
Btreet paving along the Bay.
Mr. Adams was not inclined to the opin
ion that if the present paving was reason
ably good and proper that the city oould
again assess the street railways for the
asphalt paving.
Alderman Bailey—Suppose that the pres
ent street pave ment is a nuisance ?
Alderman McDonough—To whom?
Alderman bailey—fo tha mayor and al
dermen of the city.
Alderman Carson said that it was only at
the afternoon meetings during the summer
that the oonncil had been disturbed by the
travel, but that it was very quiet at their
nignt session*. Alderman Bailey, in reply,
said that the noise of the vehicles very
much disturbed the committees of council
at their afternoon meeting*
REMINDED OF HOUSE DRAINAGE.
Alderman Faliigant said that the city
could afford to wait a while, and that it is
time to take up the bouse drainage ques
tion. He said that the pavement is good
enough, and that the mayor and aldermen
oau afford to stand tne nuisance. Referring
to streets and lanes, work, he said, had al
ready cost a very large sum of money, and
he thought it was time to take up some of the
other departments, and, especially, house
drainage.
Alderman Harmon, in reply, said that the
street and lane committee has spent less
money the past year, and has had lets to
spend, than for any other year for the
past six years. He said that he was glad of
the opportunity to show a statement of ex
penditures by the street and lane committee.
Only $3,400 had been provided in the budget
for stroet and lane work. He passed the
statement over to Alderman Falligant.who,
after an exinamination of it, handed it back
to Alderman Harmon without o irament.
Alderman McDonough moved to lay the
resolution on the table.
Alderman Myers opposed this, and also
opposed the resolution. He said that there
are other streets that need paving more
than Bay, but that he would oppose paving
any more streets until after the supreme
oourt has passed on the Liberty street assess
ment cases.
A BIG SITPLTIS BANKED UP.
Alderman Harmon said that there was
plenty of money in the treasury for improv
ing the streets. “You have got over SIOO,-
000 banked up in the treasury,” said he,
“and whv don’t you expend some of it in
public improvements?”
Alderman Myers explained that the
greater part of this money had been paid
by the ground reut lot owners, aid
it will be required for the water
department in constructing anew water
works plant. He said that if it is expended
for any other purpose, taxes will have to
be increased next year in order to establish
the plant, and taxes are already high
enough.
At the conclusion of Alderman Myers’ re
marks, Alderman Bailey withdrew the reso
lution by consent.
SHORT ON GRANITE BLOCKS.
Alderman Cann asked Alderman Har
mon if he were not going to ask authority
to purchase additional granite blocks for
the street crossings, to which Alderman
Harmon replied that wnile it is true that
bis committee is out of material, he would
not ask council nor will he g i on and exceed
the amount of his budget. The crossings,
he said, are needed, and when he was asked
by Alderman Cann if three carloads of
blocks would be sufficient, Alderman Har
mon said that it would not be a drop in the
bucket.
As Alderman Harmon did not seem in
clined to urge counoil to give his nommltteie
the material required for street crossings, no
further action was taken in the matter.
Accounts amounting to $13,057 78 were
passed for payment.
TALLAHASSEE AND NORTHERN.
A New Road Proieoted from Thomas
ville to Tallahassee.
Anew railroad has been projected to be
built from Tallahassee, Fla., to Thomas
ville, Ga., a distance of forty miles. It is
to bo of standard guage and laid with 56-
pound steel rails. It is proposed to obtain
a subscription of $500,000 iu cash, which
will build ond equip the road. There will
be no bonds is-ued.
Mr. G. W. Saxton, a banker of Tallahas
see, in a letter to the board of trade of this
city, states that the road will run through a
fine section of country, atul in case it is
completed will be another feeder fir Savan
nah. The r >ad is called the Tallahassee and
Northern railroad. The board of trade arc
lncliued to interest themselves in the new
road, and it is very likely that a representa
tive of the proposed line will visit Savannah
soon in its interest.
Not a Significant Meeting.
The monthly meeting of the board of
directors of the Central Railroad and Bank
ing; Company of Georgia w s held in the
office of President E. P. Alexander yester
day, at which Messrs. H. T. and 8. M.
Inman and E. P. Howell of Atlanta and C.
H. Phinizv of Augusta were the out of
town members present. The business trans
acted by the board was wholly routine in
its character, aud the session was a short
one. The non-resident directors left for
their homes by last night’s train.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4,1890.
WORK ON THE BOOTH BOUND.
Material Arriving for the Bridge Over
the Bavannan River.
The sub-contractors at work on the
South Bound railroad have been pushing
the work vigorously until this week, when
the rains interfered with the progress of the
work. It is understood that Grant Wilkins,
the bridge contractor, has been progressing
favorably with bis work. Material is ar
riving from day to day for the bridge over
the Savannah river. This will be one of
the best iron railroad bridge* in the south,
and will be supported by Iron cylinder
pliers.
Contractor Kellar, with a large force at
men, is cutting right of way on the South
Carolina side.
There has been no little trouble in secur
ing labor, bat now that the crops are laid
by labor is offered more freely, aud no
further trouble is apprehended in securing
men. Nearly all the sub-contractors at work
on the line of road will double their force of
hands before the close of next week. A
force of hands passed through the city yes
terday who will go to worx to-day in the
neighborhood of : Indigo bay, on the resi
dency of Engineer Guess. Another force .f
men left Augusta yesterday for Guyton,
from which point they will cross the coun
try and go to work on the residency of
Engineer Tharp.
It is understood thet Mr. Williams has
nearly completed t.is sub-contract, and Mr.
Htrobart has made good progress, and, if not
interfered with bv continuous bad weather,
will soon complete his contract. Griffin
A Cos. and Heyward & Cos. are said to be
getting along nioely with their work, and,
although Contractor Curry’s work is said
to lie quite heavy, he is progressing fairly
well. Contractor !ang, who has the resi
dency nearest Savannah, is getting along
finely with his w irk, and the grading has
been banked up to a point where the Mouth
Bound connects with'the Central railroad
near this city. The piling for the bridges
over the small streams in Mr. Tharp’s resi
dency has been driven, and with good
weather aud a daily increasing force of
laborers the work of c instruction on the
South Bound will bj more vigorously ad
vanced.

THE BELT ELECTRIC LINE.
Progress on the Work of Changing the
Motive Power.
Savannahfans will soon be riding on the
smoothly gliding eleotrio cars, and the pros
poet is, says President W. G. Cooper of the
Belt Line, that they will have that pleasure
by Nov. 1, and possibly at an earlier date.
In an interview with a Morning News
reporter yesterday Mr. Cooper gave a very
favorable acoount of the progress that is
being made. He said that poles have been
put up on Habersham street as far north as
Gwinnett street and down Gwinnett to East
Bread. All the poles on hand have been
put up aud another consignment will be
received in a few days, when the work will
be resumed.
The power house has been built at the
office of the Bolt Line oompany, on Haber
sham street, and the work on the founda
tions for the engines will soon begiu.
Mr. Cooper says that Superintendent
Saussy is pushing the work of the otiauge
from horse to electric power as rapidly as
possible, and with a large force of hands.
Work ou the streets recently granted the
Belt Line company will be begun just as soon
as the work upon the present line is finished
The new line will be about three and a
half miles long, and the company
hope to have it completed aud oars
runuing by Jan. 1. The Belt line will then
have in operation eleven miles of electric
railway, and the citizens will no longer have
reason to kick on account of unsatisfactory
trnnspor ation, us the now line will be
equipped with all the modern oou veniences.
TO TAKE NEW QUARTERS.
Young Men's Hebrew Association
Lease a Commodious Room.
The Young Men's Hebrew Association
has leased the ball room of the Masonic
Temple, and will begin at once improving
the new quarters. The house committee
has been actively at work making additions
to the library, reading rooms and gym
nasium. The instructor has returned from
Germany and will take up bis class Oct. 1.
The entertainment oommittee is at work
on a series of entertainments for the season.
They propose to make it one of unusual brill
iancy. The stage will be put iu order, and
tho scenery will be retouched and now pieces
added. The dancing hall will lie enlarged.
About oue-quarter of it could not be used
formerly, but this will be remedied and
utilized soon. The dressing rooms will be
remodeled and made more convenient.
While the instructor was in Europe he se
cured the latest improved gymnasium ap
paratus, which will be employed in the
gymnasium.
The young men propose to make the hall
one of tho neatest and moat oonmlete in the
oity, and by Oct. 15 they hope to have
everything about it in order.
A number of applications are in the sec
retary’s hands to be aoted upon at the next
meeting. The membership of the associa
tion is now 380, and it Is predicted that it
will be increased to 300 after the hall is
fitted up.

IX AND ABOUT THE CITY
HEAVY RAINFALL YESTERDAY.
The Streets Flooded and Many Wash
oats and tome Breaks Reported.
The heavy rains of yesterday and the day
previous have done no little damage to some
of the streets and sewer drains.
Before the heavy rains of yesterday after
noon Capt. Fitzgerald, superintendent of
the street force, reported quite a number of
washouts and breaks, but all the breaks
would have been repaired before 6 o’clock
last evening bad it not been for the heavy
rainfall after 5 o'clock yesterday evening.
Prior to yesterday’s rains wssbes were
reported on Jones street, on West Boundary
at the foot of gimme, on Cohen street to the
old cotton factory, on Walker street, ou
Wet Boundary, near Bay, and on Olive
street continued west of Farm. It will re
quire considerable time, labor and expense
to repair the washes on m-st of the streets
Darned.
Breaks were reported in the wooden
sewer, a tank, f-eding Bilbo canal, on
Wheaton street; in the sewer oa Abercorn
near New Houston; in the sidewalk ou Bol
ton, east of Price; in the Barnard sreet
sewer at Charlton lane, and at Charlton
lane east of Barnard street.
Further inspection this morning will, it is
quite probable, develop other washes and
breaks from yesterday afternoon’s rains.
The rains have made it necessary to sus
pend drilling on the two new wells at the
water works, but the drilling will be
resumed as soon as the weather clears.
Nearly every unpaved street, aud espe
cially West Brood street, was flooded by the
heavy downpour yesterdav eveniug. From
Wayne to Duffy, on West Broad, the
greater part of the sidewalks were impass
able, and the street resembled a laice.
The rainy spell has not yet ceased, though
the rains have diminished in force. Rain
fall yesterday in tuis section was confined
almost wholly to t .e Georgia and Florida
coast, only light showers being re
ported from the interior. No heavy
i ainfalls like .Savannah’s rainfall of Tuesday
have been reported.
Yesterday* rainfall at Savannah was .72;
.10 fell Tuesday night, which, added to
the 5.11 inches already repor.ed.
makes a total of nearly six inches for this
Soint since the rainy spell set in on last
londay.
Shoe ers were general In the Savannah
cotton district, the average for the district
being .26. The heaviest fall reported in
the district was .73 at Bainbridge.
The signal observer reports that the high
area whic i was responsible for the rainfall
is slowly moving off the coast, and he says
that the rainfall is gradually becoming
lighter in this section. There was scarcely
any rain in North Georgia or western
South Carolina.
The temperature was only a little below
normal in the South Atlantic states yester
day, and the weather was generally fair.
The Atlantic district reported the lowest
temperature of any of the districts yester
day, 78°, and the Galveston district the
highest, 90°. Savannah’s maximum tem
perature w: s 83°, the minimum tem
perature, 70°, and the mean was
two degrees below normal. The average
maximum temperature for the district
was 85°.
The tides in the river are very high,
caused by the easterly and northeasterly
winds.
Occasional showers may be expected to
day-
ANOTHER VETERAN GONE.
Death of Lieut. F. Flaherty, Late of
the Irish Jasper Greens.
Edmund Flaherty died yesterday at noon,
at his residence, at Broughton and East
Broad street* He had been long in bad
health with consumption. He leaves a wife
and four children.
The deceased enlisted in tho Irish
Jasper Greens in 1802, and did
duty with them at Camp Deptford,
Lee battery and Fort Jackson of the
Savaunah river batteries as a private and
non-c .mtnissioned officer. Subsequently he
was promoted to a lieutenancy, in which
capacity he served until the close of the war.
When Gen. Mercer’s brigade was ordered
from Savannah to reinforce Gen. Johnston,
then confronting Sherman above Atlanta,
Lieut. Flaherty went with hisoommand and
served faithfully through the North Georgia
and Nashville, Teun., campaigns, in the
spring of 1865, and when the Army of Ten
nessee was ordered back to Georgia and the
Carolinas to oppose Sherman in the march
that he was then making through those
states, Lieut. Flaherty was still to be found
at the post of duty, with his company, and
in the battle of Bentouville. the
last fight of the war, he was the
senior officer present in the old
First Volunteer regiment of Georgia, and
commanded it in tuat engagement. From
the time his command left Savaunah until
the close of the war he was never one
moment absent from duty—a record to be
proud of. No truer, more faithful or
braver officer ever gave his servioes to his
couutry than Lieut. Flaherty.
The deceased was not, at the time of his
death, a member of the Greens, but a num
ber of his old comrades in arms will
attend his funeral, as a mark of respect for
one whom they a*teemed. Lieut. Flaherty
was a member of the Confederate Veteraus’
Association aud the Catholic Kulghts of
America, which organizations will also
attend his funeral to-morrow afternoon
from the cathedral.
THE FAST MAIL DELAYED.
A Derailed Lumber Car on the Alta
maha Bridge.
The fast mail on the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway, from Jacksonville,
due in Savannah at 12:14 o'clock p. m., did
not arrive yesterday until 4:20 o’clock p.
m. The cause of the delay was
an accident to a freight train at the Alta
maha bridge early yesterday morning.
The freight train, whieh was loaded with
lumber, derailed a car as it was crossing
the bridge, and the lumber was thrown off,
striking the sides of the bridge and break
ing an iron rod and other portions of
the structure.
When the passenger train reached the
bridge the coaches were detached and pushed
across by hand, > ne at a time, aud when the
train was made up on this side of the river
an engine .in waiting brought it into
Savannah. Several passenger trains were
transferred across the bridge in this man
ner yesterday. No freight trains crossed
the bridge after the accident yesterday, and
the freight traffic of the road was inter
rupted for the day.
Supt. Fleming had two construction
trains and a foroe of nearly 200 hauds at
work at the scene of the accident yesterday
and last night, and he expects to have the
bridges repaired for the passage of both
freight and passenger trains by 7 o’clock
this morning.
Furniture for the New Court House.
A carload of furniture for the new oourt
house arrived by the Central railroad yes
terday afternoon. It contained eleven
desks, 104 bundles of chairs and one single
chair. Capt John R. Dillon, who is look
-1 mg after the furnishing of the new court
says that the new furniture will be
plaoed in the building the first thing this
morning.

The Morning News Trade Review.
Never in the business history of Savannah
has there been greater necessity for the
coming trade review of the Morning News
illustrating Savannah and her enterprises
than at present.
Savannah is the great seaport city of the
state. It is the gateway to the sea. The
products of a vast territory empty them
selves here. Here are the headquarters of
the vast Central railroad system, per
meating every nook and corner of Georgia,
Alabama and South Carolina. Here is the
terminus of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway, bringing all Florida and
Southern Georgia to our very doors, and
now extending itself to the heart of Ala
bama, drawing tribute for the city from
that prosperous state.
Savannah has now anew outlet to the
timber lands and cotton fields lying along
the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
and Savannah and Western roads. Along
all these roads are cities and towns and
villages. The trade of these should be se
cured for this city. Train their merchants
to trade with Savannah. Advertise our
city and ourselves, and Ist them know what
Savannah merchants can do.
The Trade Review, going everywhere,
finding every village, seeking every busi
ness man, at once introduces the city and
her business men. It aids the drummer on
bis rounds. It tells our new acquaintances
in the recently opened territory where we
are and what we are. Such a trade issue is
a directory, a guide.
This is an age of reading. People look In
the newspapers to find what they want.
Cannot our business men, arising to the
hlght of Savannah’s bright future, aid in
making this trade review h great mirror,
reflecting to the business world our beautiful
city in all her glory?
This is Savannah’s golden opportunity to
turn the tide of travel and trade to her own
doors, and thug secure the advantages which
nature and the sagacity of business men
have given her.
Every merchant in Savannah should be
represented in the columns of this issue.
The cost is small; the returns great. Full
information will be furnished on applica
tion to the Business Office, telephone 364.
