Atlanta Constitution: Senator Mercer is
after the usurers, lie Introduced a red
hot bill In the state Senate Friday, the ef
fect of which will he to make what might
be termed extreme usury a felony. His
bill provides that "any person or persons,
or any president, cashier or other officer
of any corporation wiio shall charge a
greater rate ot interest for the use of mon
ey titan 18 per cent, (ter annum shall be
held anti deemed guilty of a felony anil
upon conviction shall he punished by im
prisonment in the penitentiary for a term
not less than one nor more thun live years.
Tite object of the ldll Is very plain.” said
the senator, Friday, In explaining its pro
visions "We all know that there are a
class of money lenders whose methods
may be called nothing else than highway
robbery. It is to get at these people that
tnv bili is Introduced. The stories which
I have heard of the exorbitant charges
made upon the poor people for money are
well nigh incredible, but they' are stories
which I have every reason to believe are
true. When the time comes to tell these 1
will show the senators and representatives
of some of the methods which are being
employed by these money sharks. I talk
ed with some of the hankers Is-fore I In
troduced the hill, and they said they were
perfectly satisfied to get 8 par cent, for
their money. Some of them suggested that
13 per cent, would he perhaps the proper
figure for me to allow In this bill, but I
wanted to make It as liberal as there could
be any excuse for. Certainly an Interest
of 1 anti lb, per cent, a month Is enough
for anv man's money, ft has been urged
that forfeiting the principal and Interest
would he sufficient punishment. But every
body knows that would not prevent such
charges. What 1 am after is to make it a
crime, and when that Is done 1 believe the
charging of this usury will cease."

Chairman Health and Cemetery Commit

Report adopted.
To the Honorable, the Mayor ar.d Al
d< rmen of the City of Savannah: Gentle
men—The committee on health and cem
etery, to whom was referred the follow
ing resolution of Alderman Tiedeman
adopted by council, \|iz: "Resolved, bv the
mayor and aldermen of the city of Savan
nah, in council assembled, That the com
munication of B. O. Rogers, superintend
ent of the O. E. M. department, contain
ing charges against M. A. liuttimr sink
contractor, be referred to the committee
on health and cemetery, and that said
committee investigate tlie same, and such
other discrepancies as may la* found ” re
spectfully report that they have investi
gated said charges and such other “dls
crepcncles” as were claimed c exist and
submit to council the following facts:
Exhibit "A” is a copy of the correct bill
of the sink contractor for work done m
August. I*6. according to sworn state
ment of B. O. Itog. r*. superintendent of
O. E. il department, amounting to fi&i
Exhibit "R” is u statement made by it
O Rogers, superintendent a* aforesaid of
item* added, to said bill by said Uutumer
Increasing the said bill to *645 after certi
fication by Rogers for *587, and before its
presentation to the chairman of this com
mittee for certification for *645. for which
latter amount the said Buttimer presented
the bill certified by Rogers for *645 for the
chairman’s signature.
Item Ist. Aug. 4, west side Y.'helan lane.
South Stewart street. The city charge*;
by Buttimer *4.50 for Cleaning priva vault,
reported by Rogers as never cleaned a:
ail. The facts, as developed, show tea'
Buttimer sent his men and teams there,
but never cleaned the vault, the owner,
Mr. Burns, protesting that the vault dkt
not need cleaning, and no cleaning was
done. Mr. Buttimer claims that his forces
or employes lifted the floor of the vault,
took out one lierrel of contents and were
driven off by Mr. Burns. The simple fact
is that the vault wps not cleaned, but
the city was charged for its cleaning.
Item Second: Aug. 6. Buttimer charges
city *9 for cleaning two vaults at 95 and
97 Jones street. Oh inspection it is found
that these premises have sewer connec
tions, and no vaults exist on them. Hut
timer's excuse is "error in number of lots
or premises.'' he claiming to have cleaned
vaults at 73, 71 and 77 Jones street.
Item Third: East side Guerard, Nos. 2
and 3, north of New street, charged on
Aug. 6 and again on Aug. 39 for Nos. 1.
2 and 3. The testimony in these cases
reasonable sustain Mr. Buttimer's claims.
Item Fourth: Aug. 20. South side Elev
enth street, next to Abercorn, charge by
Buttimer of *fi.so for cleaning and tilling
vault. The testimony shows that Butti
nier's men and wagons were sent there,
but found that the vault had already
been filled with sand by Mr. R. H. Tatem.
or his employees, but Buttimer charged
the city *6.50 for it.
Item Fifth: West side Whelan lane. 1
S. Stewart; second attempt in same
month to clean vault belonging to Burns.
No work or cleaning done, but second
charge of *4.50 entered on Buttimer's bill
against city as if the work had been done.
Item Sixth: Aug. 27. Southeast St.
Thomas and Habersham. Mr. Rogers
claims that this is a double charge for
same work, the first charge being for
cleaning a small slide' opening into this
same vault, and where a barret was plac
ed for temporary service prior to con
struction of sewer connection, the second
charge being for cleaning the vault itself.
51 r. Buttimer claims the right to charge
for two cleanings of the vault.
Item Seventh: Aug. 31. Florence and
Ninth streets. Mr. Buttimer's explana
tion of charge of cleaning third vault at
this point is that his third closet was on
a Brownsville lot on West side of Flor
ence street.
From the above cited answers several
pungent facts may be gathered:
First—That Mr. Buttimer charged for
cleaning closets whether the cleaning
was done or not, provided he had orders
from the health department to do the
cleaning ami sent his employes to the
premises for that purpose.
Second—That Buttimer swore that in
similar cases under the previous admin
istration, Mr. Cleary occupying the po
sition now held hv Rogers, certified such
bills as if the work was really done.
Third—That property owners were thus
made to pay for work never done, if But
timer only sent his men and teams to the
premises.
The committee are of the opinion that
inasmuch as the contract with Buttimer
provided only for the payment where act
ual cleaning was done, ami made no pro
vision for payment for the mere sending
of men and teams without actual work be
ing done, the city is not liable for such
amounts. A* the same time they consider
that when Buttimer sends his men and
teams to any place under orders from the
health department, it is at least debatable
whether he is not entitled to some remun
eration for this much service. In the mat
ter of the complaint of Mr. Tussey, fore
man F., C. and P. yard, slr. Buttimer
swears that the account published in the
local columns of the Morning News, to
the effect that Dr. Falligant went with
said Buttimer. selected the locality ami
consenteil to his depositing contents of
privy vaults at or near powder magazine,
was incorrect, whilst Mr. Neeson of the
Morning News states that Buttimer made
this declaration to him in person. Dr. Fal
ligant declares that there was not a word
of truth in Buttimer's statement as so
published.
The affidavit of Nancy Byas to the effect
that she paid M. A. Buttimer *2 for clean
ing a vault is explained by him with a de
claration that “Dan did it.” and he. Mau
rice, knew nothing about it: the commit
tee believe Maurice's statement that he
would have gotten *4.50 out of the city in
stead of *2 out of Nancy.
In view of the fact than an investiga
tion of this much of the Buttimer contract
has taken considerable time the commit
tee are constrained to ask further time in
which to investigate the manifold injus
tices complained of by property owners as
to the manner in which thev think them
selves wronged by the method of charges
upon them now in practice for work of
this kind. D. A. Falligant,
Chairman Health and Cemetery Com
mittee.

health and cemetery for definite report as
