10 A IIEARST’S RIXDAY AMERICAN’, ATLANTA, OA., SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1913. Savannah Waycross Brunswick Valdosta Live News of All South Georgia Albany Americus Cordele Thomasville NOT ONE STILL 1 CITY MARKET IN 0000 SHAPE Chairman of Health Committee of Savannah Council Finds All Places Insanitary. LAWS ARE OPENLY VIOLATED Says Conditions Are Revolting and [ Can Not Be Eliminated With Broom and Water. SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.—In company with a State Inspector, Dr. John W. Daniel, chairman of the Health Com mittee of City Council, has made an other inspection of the city market, and, to use his own language, “found that not a single stall was sanitary or could be made so.” "It is a disgrace to Savannah, not to mention the menace it i» to the public health," declared Dr. Daniel 'The dealers are openly violating the health laws. They seem not to pay the slightest attention to even the simplest rules of sanitation, or even common decency. The situation is ono which should be remedied at once. "The revolting conditions I found can not be eliminated with a broom and a little water. The whole mar ket must be given a thorough clean ing. New equipment must be in stalled. The dealers must be required to disinfect their refrigerators. Not in any way are the stalls in the mar ket sanitary. Jeopardize Health. "People are Jeopardizing their health when they eat meat that comes from the city market It is better not to eat meat at all than to buy It there That a great deul of unsound meat is sold there is a fact of which we have undisputed proof. The State inspector who went wMh me confis cated a quantity of sausage, some veal and some beef tongues, all of which were unfit for human con sumption. "Some of the dealers admit that they were using preservatives on their meats. This is distinctly prohibited by State law I intend to see that the City Health Department co-oper ates with the State authorities and enforces the laws I am going to see that the market is cleaned up, if such a thing Is possible. “To my mind, the most Important duty before the present acrtnlnlstra- tion is to see that the city market is improved. Before we build an audi torium or do anything else we should see that conditions at the market are remedied. It will cost some money, but it will be money well Bpcnt. I think anyone who will make an In spection of the market will agree with me with what I have said about conditions there.” Dr. Daniel says that the present force of health Inspectors Is not suf ficient to see that the laws are prop erly enforced. Under the present ar rangements It is Impossible to in spect the meat stalls in the city mar ket and elsewhere In the city, he says. Failure on the part of the slaugh ter houses and butchers to comply with suggestions recently made to them through the sanitary board by the StMe Department will result in P. A. Methvin, State Pure Food In spector, making another trip from Atlanta to Savannah next week. Inspector Mothvin in Savannah. Some weeks ago Inspector Methvin visited Savannah and found the sani tary conditions of many of the mar-, kets and slaughter houses far from satisfactory. In a number of markets lie found that tainted meats were being offered for sale. Several of the slaughter houses were practically condemned because of their filthy and insanitary surroundings The l>epartment of Agriculture filed Its report with the Savannah health officer, hoping that this organisation would take up the matter and see that the conditions were remedied. This has not been done, however, ac cording to a report which has been sent forward by Louts Garfunkel. the State lnsi>ector here. Inspector Meth vin will therefore make another in vestigation. It Is probable that City Council will be asked for an appropriation suffi clent to remodel the city market and eliminate all of the present Insani tary conditions. The chief engineer will be asked to prepare an estimate of the cost and give some idea of the improvements that should be made That the market is in an unsatisfae- tory condition is agreed upon by the committee.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.— "Belief which was always entertained by those having an intimate knowledge of affairs and conditions, that the unsecured creditors of the American Naval Stores Company would receive every penny due them in due course of time, has crystallized Into a defi nite certainty. “The time when the final details of the big corporation are wound up and the enterprise dissolved depends wholly on the condition of the money market, the time when new capital can be secured to finance the Union Naval Stores Company in the pay ment of its notes due to the American Naval Stores Company. The final dissolution is expected to take place shortly after the first of the year.” This is the statement of a promi nent Savannah banker, head of one of the Institutions involved in the suspension of business on the part of the American. He was very optimis tic in his view of the situation, and expressed it as his belief that the final business of the big concern would be wound up before spring of the coming year at the very latest. Unsecured Creditor*. “There is nothing new in the be lief,” he continued, “on the part of the creditors of the American Naval Stores Company that the unsecured creditors will receive every penny due them. This has been the view held by them since just a few days after the suspension took place, following an investigation into the affairs of the concern. “The present situation is that the Union Naval Stores Company was the producing end of the American Naval Stores enterprise. Notes for a mil lion and a half dollars were held by the American Naval Stores Company, given by the Union Naval Stores Company. While the Union Naval Stores Company was a part or sub sidiary concern of the American, the Union Naval Stores Company is and has always been absolutely solvent. “But it takes a long time for even the biggest of concerns to raise a million and a half dollars, and with the money market in its present con dition such a thing is even harder than it would be ordinarily.” Doctors Afraid to Sew Up His Stomach Prominent Crawfordvill.e Lawyer Suf fers From Unusual Cause at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

SAU1IHS TO BOND ELECTION VOTE ON BONDS FOB VALDOSTA Election To Be Held Monday on $200,000 Issue—1,000 Votes Necessary to Carry. If $50,000 Issue Carries Will Be Best Paved City in the Southern States. SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.—Savannah will vote Monday on the question of issuing $200,000 of bonds with which to finance the erection of a proposed city auditorium. The issue of bonds is an adminis tration measure. It has the indorse ment of the Chamber of Commerce and trades bodies. Considerable in terest Is being manifested in the prop osition, with very little open oppo sition. Plans have been completed for poll ing the 1,000 votes necessary to au thorize Council to provide for the issue. Half a dozen telephones have been installed in the Chamber of Commerce and a squad of girls em ployed for the purpoes will call every voter who has a telephone on Mon day and remind him to vote. It is necessary for two-thirds of the total number registered to vote in favor of the project before the bonds can be issued. There are 1.681 regis tered voters. Of these, 191 are dis qualified for failure to pay their taxes. It Is estimated that there will be 1,500 registered and qualified to vote. At least 1,000, therefore, must vote in favor of the auditorium before the bonds can be issued. Sponsors of Movement. The movement to build the audito rium is sponsored by some of the most influential persons and largest property owners in Savannah. For years the city has been handicapped in its efforts to Induce national or ganizations to hold conventions here because of the lack of a suitable place in which large numbers of persons can assemble. It is now practically certain that the auditorium will not be erected in connection with the armory of the Chatham Artillery, the First Regi ment, or any other organization, but that, instead of these propositions, which were considered originally, the municipal government will purchase a suitable location, convenient and accessible to the greatest number, on which to construct the building. Neither of the armories is to be erected in the heart of the business district, which is believed to be the proper place for a public building such as that under consideration. Youths Are Held as Robbers of Church Communion Services, Aim* Basins and Other Plate Taken From St. Paul’s in August.

A silver memorial communion serv ice, includinb chalice, paten and wafer receptacle, a silver plate com munion service and four alms basins were stolen. The loss was discovered by the sexton, who reported the mat ter to the church authorities. The sacristy in which the valuable* were kept was looted. REVIVAL AT TIFTON. SAVANNAH ED..— . . .— TIFTON, Sept. 13.—Beginning with the fourth Sunday In this month, the Rev. Arthur J. Moore will conduct a series of revival meetings at the Tif- ton Methodist Church. He will be assisted by the pastor, the Rev. Thomas H. Thomson. VALDOSTA, Sept. 13.—An elec tion for $50,000 additional municipal improvement bonds will be held here on Monday, the 15th instant. Of the proposed issue, $35,000 is for paving and $15,000 for improvement of the waterworks, the latter to be used mainly in extending the system to parts of the city not yet furnished with city water. No bond issue of the several here tofore made has caused as much com ment or aroused as much opposition as the proposed issue. It is the first time in the history of Valdosta that any tangible opposition has been shown toward municipal Improve ments, and just how effective the present opposition is can not be de termined until the election is held. No fault is found with the work clone so far, and there is no charge of graft or misappropriation of funds from previous Issues. The outstand ing bonded Indebtedness of the city is now $306,000, or $150,000 less than the legal limit. Against this there is now In bank a sinking fund of nearly $53,000, which is drawing in terest and increasing every year. Saving in Repairs. For a number of years the city has spent annudlly on street work be tween $8,000 and $10,000, the greater part of which is patchwork. It is claimed that the saving in repair work will much more than pay the Interest on the proposed $35,000 pav ing bonds. The waterworks during the past year made money for the city, turn ing into the treasury a profit of $4,- 893. The asphalt paving which has just been laid on three of the principal streets is highly satisfactory, and will be continued on other streets if the bond Issue is authorized. The work proposed will make Valdosta the best paved small city fn the State. 1 A FREE TRIP To Atlanta is avail able to the mer chant who buys an adequate bill from the members of the Merchants’ Asso ciation.
