COUNCIL ASKED WAR DEPT.
TO MAKE QUICK DECISION
REFUSED, HOWEVER, TO EN
DORSE THE TYPE OF DAM
SUBMITTED BY THE
TWIN CITY CO
CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION
Canal is Asked To Be Pro
tected in the Resolutions
Adopted. Resolutions
Were Drawn in Advance
By City Atorney and
Changed But Little.
Pursuant to a letter from the twin
City Power company, asking that cits'
council go over tho revised plans for
a dam which they propose to build
serosa the Savannah river above An
gusta, and go on record so that the
war department may, in a meaaure,
be guided by their attitude In the
matter. Council met In special session
Saturday night and, after more than
an hour's discussion of the merits
of the contemplated structure, pass
ed the following resolutions:
Whereas, The Twin City Power
company proposes to erect a dam
across the Savannah river, above the
city of Augusta, at Price's Island,
near Modoc, H. (',, for the purpose
of developing waterpower, and has
submitted to the war department of
the United StuteH government certain
plans for Its approval, for the said
proposed dam; and
Whereas, The war department de
sires that the position of the city
council be made clear to the suld de
partment:
He It resolved, by the city council
of Augusta, (la :
First, That the city of Augusta de
sires to encourage tho Twin Pity
Power company In Its work of de
veloping waterpower at Price's Is
land, near Modoc, S. (’., believing
that such waterpower would bo great
ly to the commercial interests of tho
city of Augusta.
Second, That in the manner of con
structing a dam across the river, by
which this waterpower Is to la- de
veloped, the city council of Augusta
has the highest confidence In the
ability of the engineering department
of the United States government, and
leaves to Its wisdom the approval of
the chnrnctcr of dam that they will
permit to be built across the said
Savannah river, asking that the en
gineering department of the United
Stateß government use Its best Judg
ment In providing to the elfy of Au
gusta tho utmost protection possible
under work of this character, so that,
only such darn bo permitted to ho
erected ns will Insure absolute ssfn
ty to file city of Augusta from Its
construction.
PROTECT
CANAL.
Third, That In addition to the re
quirements of safety as to said dam
to be ereetod by said Twin City
Power oompnny, that they shall fur
ther require the said Twin City Pow
or company that the canal of Bald
city council of Augusta shall always
receive water aufTlclent to produce
14,000 horsepower along the hanks of
aald canal, ami In esse there should
not be enough to supply that much,
then that they shall let all there may
be above the dam pnsa through.

a certified copy of these resolutions
he transmitted at once to the war
department.
Council wa: duly called to order
and Clerk Martin read the letter
from the Twin City Power company,
which has already been published in
The Herald, Mayor Dunbar intro
duced the foregoing resolution, stat
ing that It had been drawn up by the
city attorney, and that, the provisions
thereof met with his approval and the
approval of the officials of the Twin
City Power company. Mr. KaJb
flelsch moved the adoption of the
i (-solutions as read, but the question
was opened for discussion.
Mr. E. 11 Callaway was the first
to speak, I{.r objected to a certain
clause of the resolution stipulating
the amount of water that should al
ways be allowed lo pass through the
gates of the proposed dam. Follow
ing out Ills suggestion, that part was
changed to r<-ad 'all that there may
be above the darn, etc.”
CHAIRMAN
POPE SPOKE.
Mr. Pope was given the floor. fie
said tie was present at. the mayor's
request. He said It appeared that,
the war department was being rep
resented by the Twin City Power
company. He said he was himself
In dally communication with the de
partment, and with Col. Kingman.
The mayor Interposed an opinion,
stating that he did not. think the
Twin City Power company was en
deavoring to represent the depart
ment. Mr. Pope continued, saying
that, lie had taken his stand conscien
tiously, as chairman of the flood com
mission of the city council. He con
tended that city council should be en
tirely non-committal In any action
they might take, us If the Twin City
company and the city ever became In
volved in a law suit, adverse records
might In' used against tho city.
Mr. Callaway was again given the
floor. Ho said the Twin City com
pany represented the Anlbursen Hy
draulic company, to whom a contract
lias been awarded for constructing
the dam. The object of the meeting
was simply to afford council an op
portunity to outline Its attitude In the
matter. He introduced Mr. W. L.
Church, president of the Ainhursen
company.
Mr. Church delivered a lengthy
and Interesting speech. He denied
emphatically the implication that
either he or the officials of the Twin
City company were present as rep
resentatives of tho war department,
lie said there was nothing In the let
ter to council assuming such repre
sentation.
lie outlined the direction tho plans
of the proposed dam had followed up
to date, lie said he first sent to Col.
Kingman in Savannah a set of plans
marked ‘‘preliminary plans,” and
that after prolonged examination of
the Maine, and exchange of corres
pondence, Col. Kingman had sent (lie
plans to the war department. He
said he had then gone to Washington,
conferring several times with Gen
eral Marshal, chief engineer, who ex
pressed clearly his views regarding
the plans. lie said General Marshal
had suggested certain changes, which
were immediately made. He again
disclaimed any desire to assume to
represent the department, however,
simply, he suld, having come to ooun
ell prepared to state General Mar
shal's views after a manner that
would he verified by Commissioner
Wingfield and Mr. W. A. Iturr, both
of whom were present.
HOLLOW DAM
NOT CHEAP.
Ho said that he had found a sen
timent In the community that tho
hollow concrete type of dam had been
selected because of lls cheapness, lie
said that such a consideration enters
less materially Into a hydraulic ongi
neurtng project than uny other. Tho
hollow concrete dam was no Inven
tion of his. The Ambursen company
was the outgrowth of tho necessity to
meet changed conditions under which
tho hollow concrete typo Is become
adopted ns a standard method of con
struction. He had spent many months
Investigating the type, and that hta
extreme tendency to he critical at
last gave way to conviction in favor
of the hollow concrete type.
He exhibited pamphlets which
contained excerpts from engineering
Journals, giving the record of every
solid dam that lias "gone out,” or
failed, within the last 18 years. Tho
number has been 32. besides several
dams that failed since Mr. Church
made up his booklet.
Mr. Church said that the hollow
concrete dam had been selected as a
I type by the Ambursen company be
cause It could be built twice as safe
ias an old style dam. He said his
j company has built 42. which Is the
largest number of dams ever put up
by any one company In the world ba
ton 1 11c stressed the fact that the
Sergeant Reynold's Mule Drinks
Whiskey and Chews Tobacco
Sergeant John Reynolds of the Au
gusta police force possesses a mule
that occupies a very unique position
In the equine world, as he has ac
quired two of the vices, common
union & the human race. Tho mule Is
a confirmed tobacco chewor. and he
likes to tanl% up when whiskey Is
given to him. Sergt. Reynolds swapp
ed another mule for his present pos
session at Llncolnton a few days ago,
arriving In the city Saturday morn
ing with him.
Sergt. Reynolds said ho was at
Llncolnton and hoard of the mule
who would chew tobacco, and swal
low the saliva or Juice; and which
when given the chance would take a
drink. When he went to see the
owner told him to bold out his to-
Ambursen company does not sub-let
their contract. He said the company
does not even build a dam to ‘ win
1 or lose," as the chances are in con
! tract, but that the work is paid for
, per day. He stated that the company
j now has six dams under way, repre-
I sentlng an aggregate investment of
about $12,000,000.
Particular stress was laid on the
i point that capital cannot be interest
i ed in anything hut an absolutely saft
-1 project. Mr. Church stated that his
company was now drawing plans for
dams in Norway, South America, and
other foreign countries. Ho called
attention to the fact that concrete
steel, or reinforced concrete, is now
being used almost exclusively In all
large constructions, citing as illus
trations the Florida East Coast rail
road extension, Galveston sea-wall,
etc. He said the proposed dam would
be CO feet high, because lower dams
are almost worthless on Southern riv
f-rs. He said that General Marshal
simply wanted an expression of the
I city council’s attitude, not desiring,
as Mr. Church phrased it, to "jam
j down Augusta's throat a project that
does not meet with thorough ap
proval.”
MEMBER OF
CANAL COMMISSION.
Mr. Church, in conclusion, into
duced Mr. W. H. Ilurr, to whom he
previously alluded, a member of the
I'anaina canal commission, a member
of the International engineering
board, and one of the most promi
nent engineers In America.
Mr. Burr’s remarks held tho clos
est attention of council. In substance
his speech was an assurance, from
high authority, that hollow concrete
dams are no longer in the experi-’
mental stage, but that tho type has
become accepted as a standard. He
said tho BOlid, or old-style “gravity"
dam has become obsolete, and that
it was used at first because of the
obvious simplicity of its construction.
He said that any other style of dam
was unknown, therefore lmposlble,
until the application of concrete steel
as a constructive matorial. He said
the adoption of the hollow concrete
type of dam was merely another step
in the advance of engineering meth
ods.
He said the Twin City plan was
not an experiment. He said that the
first application of concrete steel in
tho construction of a dam was made
by himself, eighteen years ago, and
that soon thereafter an Austrian en
gineer came in with a patented de
sign, very similar. He made the
statement that whatever plans the
war department may approve will not
hazard the interests of Augusta In the
least. He said there was absolutely
no reason why the dam should fail.
He said that a dam could bo built
to stay anywhere, against any flood.
He said it was idle to contemplate
what might take place. He said if
the Twin City company erects a hol
low concrete dam It will not be a
menace to August a, but a credit and
a factor of safety.
MR. KALBFLEISCH
WANTED TO KNOW.
Mr, Kalbfleisch wanted to know if
the plans were turned down by the
war department. Mr. Church replied
emphatically "No.” He said that all
of the forty-two dams his company
had built were according to state,
instead of government supervision.
In compliance with a request from
Mr. Carswell, Mr. Burr stated that
steol reinforcements had never been
known to corrode Inside concrete, ex
cept when placed within less thnn
one-half an Inch from the surface.
He said it is now a well established
scientific, fact that, corrosion of steel
requires contact with an ever-chang
lug volume of water, certain peculiar
chemical conditions, and, according to
many eminent engineers, electrical
action. He said Portland eoinent, tho
kind used In concrete construction, ts
the most effective preservative known
He stated that it protects steel so
no corrosion can ever
lake place,
Mr. Pope was given tho floor, and
challenged Mr. Church’s statement
that tho war department had never
condemned the plans for a darn’ con
templated by the Twin City company.
He also cited an article from the
Scientific American, in an endeavor
to prove that steel will corrode in
side concrete. He said It was not fair
that the city should lack the services
of an eminent engineer to combat the
arguments being advanced by the
Twin City company. He further urg
ed that city council be non-commit
tal.
Mr. Churrh answered Mr. Pope
merely by stating that the former
had misunderstood him. He agreed
that the department engineers had
suggested certain changes, but said
the plans were already altered to suit
every requirement.
The resolution was put to a vote
and unanimously adopted.

bacco. He did so, and Mr. Mule ex
tended his head and bit oft a large
and juicy chew. He chewed for
some time, and when the owner open
ed his mouth, Sergt. Reynolds saw
tho tobacco between his molars
ground into small pieces. The owner
offered to give him some whiskey, but
Sergt. Reynolds thought he had seen
enough for the present.
He started to thlnkihg over the
matter and decided he wanted tho
mule. The mule is only eight years
old and a very fine animal. The
Sergeant made the trade and came
home well satisfied. The owner of
the mule told Sergt. Reynolds that
boys on the farm taught the mule to
use tobacco and drink whiskey when
It was a colt.
THE AUGUSTA HERALD
PLEASANT BANQUET
TO MB. ROUT. C.
OGDEN
Number of Happy Speeches
Were Heard. Mr. Ogden’s
Speech.
The banquet given by the school
masters of Richmond county to Hon.
Robert C. Ogden at the Hampton Ter
race Saturday night was a delight
ful affair. Several appropriate
speeches were made. Mr. Ogden an
swered Mr. Lawton B. Evans, the
toastmaster, in a short speech of
thanks for the honor shown him. He
spoke of the fund, of which he had
charge. The work done with the fund
and the great progress made by educa
tion In the United States in the past
few years. While speaking of local
conditions, Mr. Ogden said that the
educators of Georgia were getting
along on two and a half millions of
dollars, when they should have ten
millions. He said that things looked
very much brighter for the near fu
ture and material changes would be
made.
Mr. Lawton B. Evans told of how
he felt about the progress made by
the educators of Richmond county,
and the work they were doing. He
said that as the oldest man present,
lin a professional way, he looked on
the others as his children and spoke
of the pleasure it gave him to intro
duce them.
The first speaker was Prof. C. H.
Bruce, principal of the Davidson
Grammar School. Mr. Bruce spoke
on “Our Profession.” He told how
he was from childhood told by his
parents that he should be a lawyer;
how his mind changed and he de
termined to be a preacS>r; and how
fate interposed and made him a j
member of the noblest of professions, i
Mr. Bruce told of the wonderful
amount of influence exercised by the
school teachers and their trials. In
conclusion he spoke of the great and
noble work being done by the school
teachers of the cuntry In elevating
the peple to a higher plane.
PROFESSOR
GARRETT.
Professor Garrett responded to the
toast, “Our Girls.” Following a hu
morous Introduction he discussed his
subject feelingly and in an interest
ing manner. He took the position
that at the begining of the high
school course the training of girls
should take a different direction from
that of boys. He paid a high tribute
to the ability of girls as students and
said that at the age of sitxeen or
seventeen a girl is usually a year
ahead of a boy at the same age.
He said that in making up the
courses in schools we are too defer-
J ential to tradition. The older courses
|of study for girls, he said, have been
almost entirely of the so-called cul
tural type, the value of which has
been often misunderstood and the re
sult has been a misplaced emphasis.
Prof. Garrett said he would like
to see come the time when the phys
ical side of a girl’s education should
receive more attention.
In Introducing Major Geo. P. Bub
ler, Mr. Evans spoke of the old and
historic Academy of Richmond Coun
ty. He told of it being the oldest
chartered Institution in tho United
'States; of the heights attained by
its graduates in all the professions
of life; of one who had attained the
| high position of vice president of the
j United States. Mr. Evans spoke of
the pleasure it gave him to introduce
\ Major Butler as a professor of that
I grand old school.
Major Butler, in response to the
toast, "Chv Boys," made several hu
morous criticisms of Prof. Garrett's
speech on "Our Girls." He told of
the disadvantage Mr. Garrett suffered,
1 as he had to speak of the girls from
, a poiAt of observation, and from ex
! perience in teaching them, while he
j had the advantage in speaking of boys
ias he had been one of them. He told
of the sins of boys, the sins of com
mission and of omission.
MAJ. BUTLER S
SPEECH.
Ma.tr Butler’s speech was very hu
morous. being replete with episodes
and Incidents about the “boys;” his
various excuses, and tho excuses of
the parents of them. Speaking of
the common saying that “boys will be
boys,” Major Butler said that the
boys will soon be men and their ac
tions and training as boys was the
foundation of the life they would live
after reaching manhood.
In introducing the guest of honor,
Mr. Ogden, Mr. Evans spoke of the
work done by him; of the enormous
amount of money handled by him for
eduelatlonal purposes; of the work
accomplished by him, and of the
wonderful success as an organizer
that had been the lot of Mr. Ogden.
Mr. Ogden spoke only a few min
utes. He expressed pleasure at be
ing at a banquet given by school
teachers. He told of his work as
an etort to get the people Interested
In education so they would be willing
j to pay more taxes for the purpose of
education. He told of the fund he
had charge; how the various dona
tions were given, and the many con
ditions that were Imposed. He re
ferred to the John MlUedge school
and spoke of tho great influence that
has been gained by the industrial
work In the schools.
Mr. Ogden spoke of the general edu
cational conditions throughout the
country and the wonderful advance
[ mont find of the bright prospects for
I the future.
UNSET
SPEECHES.
1 Mr. Evans stated that as there had
been three set speeches, they would
have three unset speeches, as he
termed them. He passed envelopes
to all the gentlemen present except
those who had spoken In three of
the envelopes were subjects, and the

Taft and Party Greeted By
Crowds All Along the
Road While on Trip To
Cincinnati.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Talking through
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama,
Just like campaign days, the president
elect had Saturday the gratification,
■which he evidently enjoyed, of being
heartily received by large and enthusi
astic crowds who had not voted for
him. He took numerous occasions to
make hi's appreciation plain, at the
same time leaving a touch of irony be
hind in the form of a reminder that
his pre-campaign predictions had surely
come true, and not only did the south
seem willing to accept him as their
president but his greatest desire was to
be the president of every man, woman
and child in the nation.
There was one other burden on the
Taft mind Saturday—a desire to show
his utter contempt for what he termed
the baseless and hurtful criticisms of
the work being done on the Panama
canal.
The geniality of the Taft smile may
be seen in this sentence, which went
home to the people of Hattiesburg,
Miss: *
“I am delighted to look into your
faces; delighted to say to you that I
am your president and you cannot help
it, and if ever an opportunity comes
again to show, it will gratify me to
come down hero to Hattiesburg, named
after, I doubt not, a beautiful woman,
and say to the people of Hattiesburg,
‘Come up to Washington and we will give
you the right hand of fellowship, and
wifi show you mat you own just as
much of the white house and have as
much right to call on the president, and,
indeed, on the woman who occupies it
and runs it, as anybody.”
j. ne canal remarks of Mr. Taft were
delivered with unusual manifestations
of aggressiveness.
“The Panama canal is going to be
bul.t/* he declared, “and what I want
you to do, and what I want every Amer
ican citizen to do, is to stand by the
men who are building it. (Voices: “We
will do it.”) Don't set a fire In the
rear, don’t distrust the men that are
giving up their strength and energy and
enterprise to put that great work
through. When you have agents who
are doing your work, you stand behind
them. If you don’t you cannot get your
work done. The men who do your work
are entitled to your help and confidence
and you ought not to allow yourselves
to he led astray by buncombe speeches
on the floor of the house of representa
tives or by headlines in sensational
newspapers and go back on tho men
that are doing your work.
“I don’t care whether you are Demo
crats or Republicans, you want the work
done and when the army engineers, who
are doing this work, are giving all
their time to the carrying out of this
work, you are not men to go back on
them or to believe every idle story that
'comes from tho mouth of some poli
tician who is seeking to make himself
prominent or to give himself the ad
vertisement of a little unfounded sen
sational statement.
“That work is being done honestly.
I 4 know what I am talking about. It
wiu be built and all the wind opposi
tion that comes merely from a desire
to exalt and exploit the man who makes
himself responsible won’t obstruct it.
“I know what the people of the Uni
ted States want in that regard, and in
so far as I have power, as the execu
tive of this country, I am going to push
that work and I going to stand be
hind the men who are doing it. And,
now, gentlemen, you have gotten me in
to more heat than I expected, but I
thank you very much for your wel
come.”
There was a cordial leave-taking at
New Orleans Saturday morning when
the Taft party departed. Slidell, La.,
turned out the first crowd to greet the
president-elect, and from that time on
he was almost constantly on the rear
platform of the train, expressing his
pleasure at the crowds and talking to
the people of their government.
Mrs. Taft took part in the demonstra
tions and was cheered by the people.
Floral tributes, bonbons and two live
“Billy ’Possums” constituted the pre
sentations of the day. The ’possums
were allowed to escape from their wood
en crate and take to the woods at night
fall.
Picayune, Poplarville, Lumberton,
Purvis, Hattiesburg, EftlisvSlle, Laurel,
Meridian and Tuscaloosa were treated
to the presence of the president-elect.
The two big demonstrations of the day
were at Hattiesburg and Meridian, while
at Birmingham Saturday night there
was a tremendous crowd, which ex
pressed its great enthusiasm at the
short talk Mr. Taft was able to make
in the limited time at his disposal.
Mr. and Mrs. Taft will reach Cincin
nati Sunday morning ana will go direct
to ihe C. P. Taft residence.

BOER’S FSiNCEE
ARRIVES
Special to The Herald.
CHARLESTON, S. C.—The Dutch
steamship Voorburg arrived in Char
leston today from Rotterdam via
Fowey, with a cargo of fertilizer ma
terial, bringing also the bride of W.
Von Schoor de Boer, the Savannah
agent of the Burg line of steamers,
who was married to Capt. Schoor de
Boer by proxy at Bremen, according
to an European custom. Capt. Schoor
de Boer was advised today of the
arrival of the Voorburg and he an
swered that he would take the first
train for Charleston and claim his
bride this evening, returning tomor
row to Savannah. The bride was a
widow, Mrs. Starsse.
The Voorburg had a rough trip
coming across the pond, and arrived
in port with her master, Capt. W.
Ponsen, in his berth, and Mate A. P.
Von Waarden in command of the
ship. Shortly after starting on her
voyage, the ship ran into bad weath
er, finally reaching Bermuda a week
ago Friday. With improved weather
conditions, the voyage was resumed,
only to again encounter head winds
and rough seas, prolonging her voy
age to Charleston to thirty-six days,
whereas the trip is usually made in
about twenty-one.
Capt. Ponsen is suffering from stom
ach trouble, but is better than he has
been. For company for Mrs. Schoor
De Burg, Mrs. Ponsen accompanied
her husband on the trip across the
Atlantic. The women bore the voy

The Want Ads Are
Business Peacemakers!
In the store, the office, the factory, the work
places, the home—wherever human interests clash
wherever workers and employers come to be dis
cordant, wherever new workers or new work are
the urgent need —the road to peace lies through
the want ad. columns of The Herald.
In almost every case, a peace-wrecking incident
of daily life needs but the simple remedy of a lit
tle want advertising—whether it is the sudden
exit of the servant, stenographer, clerk, cook,
boarders, roomer, tenant; or the unexpected need
to quickly “raise some money” by selling an
article.
More and more, every day. in the lives and af
fairs of the people of this city, the want ads. are
coming to play the parts of adjusters, of
preventers, of Home and Business Peacemakers.
