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." FI/miDA.

L. A. Falligant Chairman Health and Cemetery Commit tee. 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.
