Begin the Southern's Work
The Southern Railway extension from
Allendale, S. C., to Hardeeville will be

-'h A. R. Wright, who has practically
finished the construction of the Georgia
ami Alabama extension from Meldrlm and
the grading and track-laying on the
bJ <no, has secured the contract for thirty
two u f the fifty-two miles that are to be

Hardeeville, the Southern having divided
y* e work In order to facilitate and expe
dite It.

confidently rely upon his giving them a
good job on their Hardeeville extension.
i hi- present route by which the South
•’h inters Savannah is over the Plant
•-.'sti-m from Yemassee, which place it
r .i (1.- o v cr the Charleston and Western

com Allendale to Hardeeville the hypo
tbenuse of a right-angled triangle Is se
ur‘ I. Hardeeville, on the Plant System,
~m g thirty-odd miles nearer Savannah
than Yemassee.
Koine time ago there was talk of the
“The n building direct into Savannah,

h " 'hhes of trestle approaches would
f *° be constructed, representing a

made with the United Hydraulic Press
Company, owning: the property.

of its own freight terminals. Freight will
be moved back end forth across the river

this will be continually at the service of
the railroad for the transfer of freight.
That designed for shipment from Savan
nah, will be received at the River street
depot by the local agent’s force, and sent
across the river, to be loaded aboard the
cars on the island. Freight for Savan
nah will be unloaded on the island, light
ered across the stream and delivered at
the River street depot.
A plan has also been devised, whereby
passengers may be transferred back and
forth without delay. A steam launch Is
even now expected from New York. This
was bought for the special purpdSe of u

10. Mr. William Garrard offers his body

Florida and Western Railway, being
1,000 acres, more or less, for the sum of
*15,000, to be paid In ten years time, In
equal lntalments, with Interest at 5 per
centum, payable semi-annually, Interest
not to begin, however, until January 1,
1901.
Second—ln considering these offers, this
committee having In view that Laurel
Grove Cemetery has been condemned by
the health officers for years past, as a
“menace to the public health." could not
entertain offers of lands adjacent to the
same, such as offers numbered 5 and 7.
The offer of "Bonaventure” Cemetery,
and lands adjoining, could not bo ac
cepted by this committee, because the
price was too high, not enough land was
offered, and beyond all this, ‘‘Bonaven
tnre” la, and has been, a cemetery since
1819, and It would be bad policy for the
city to acquire the remainder of the land
rot already used by graves, for the pub
lic cemetery of the future.
When Laurel Grove was laid out, less
than fifty years ago it contained 117.9
acres, when the population of Savannah
was about one-lifth of whßt it is now. so
that If a ctmetery should be acquired to
be laid out with narrow driveways and
small lots, as the present one is. and to
last less than half a century, about 600
acres would be required.
The cemetery of the future should bo
motkrn and handsome, with broad drive
ways, larger lots, and with land enough
to supply the needs of our people for
more than half a century.
It should also be so located as not to
be In the line of probable city extension,
and yet near enough; and Its drainage
should be In a direction from, and not
towards ihe city, nor shou'd it be Into
the Savannah river.
Third—After careful consideration of
the rands’offered, and of the necessary
requisites of a n<w cemetery, the com
mittee has selected the Garrard tract.
This tract, as offe ed embraces 1,081 Mi
acres, extending from the Ogeechce Road
to the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, but of which the owner has
OFFCIAL.
given to the county a public road through
same, and also a sufficient amount of
land for Buckhalter canal and Its later
als, leaving of this tract 1,060 acres, more
or less, which is offered at $45,000, to be
paid for in ten years, in equal instal
ments. with interest at 5 per centum, pay
able semi-annually, Interest not to begin,
however, until Jan. 1, 1901.
This tract Is a handsome one, well
wooded, In the right direction, southwest
from the city, to be accessible and yet
not in the line of the city’s growth, and
Is on a water-shed, the drainage of which
Is carried off Into the Ogeechee river.
Buckhalter canal Is at the foot of this
water-shed, with laterals being dug by
the county, and the committee has the
statement of the drainage engineer of
the county, that the laterals now being
dug In this tract will lower the plane of
natural wuter level between four and
seven feet.
The elevation of this tract, at and near
the Ogeechee Road, is higher than I,au
r. 1 Grove, being about 37 feet, as shown
on the topographical county map, with a
gradual slope towards the Buckhalter
canal, near the Savanah, Florida and
Western Railway.
Fourth—The committee therefore rec
ommend, that the tract offered by Mr.
William Garrard, hereinbefore described,
and for the price and upon the terms nam
ed, he accepted, and that upon the exam
ination of titles by the city attorney, and
his acceptance of the same. Mayor*
rotes he Issued In the usual form, upon
the delivery of satisfactory deed.
This committee further recommend, that
the owners of lots in Laurel Grove
(' met. ry shall not be deprived of the use
of their lots for burial purposes, but
that the sale of lots In that cemetery
shall be discontinued as soon as may be
practical. Respectfully submitted.
ISAAC G. HAAS.
JAMES M. DIXON,
JOSEPH G. JARRELL.
JOHN SCHWARZ,
Committee.
While agreeing to the report In the
main, as to the desirability or the pur
chase of the Garrard tract, at the price
named, yet owing to its Inaccessibility,
not being within easy reach of persons
not keeping private conveyances, I think
some means of easy access should he
assured before definite action Is taken.
