From C. S. Wylly, city engineer, on
petition of residents in the vicnity re
garding improper drainoge on Nor
wich and Carpenter Sts. between Glou
cester and F streets: That. said lo
cality is almost in crest of the water
shed which divides the waters flowing
into the Mansfield drain and those
flowing into H street drain; the streets
are excessively sandy, which prevents
any permanent side ditches to take
off the rain fall. The proper remedy
is frequent attention to the side
ditches on each street complained of,
and most probably an examination as
to the condition of the twelve-inch
pipe wjqch Carpenter street
to the .lot 1 Hi ward. Here the rain fall
flows by one system north to H street
and partly to another southward to
Mansfield street drain, both these
ditches and pipes must be kept clear
to prevent the trouble complained of.
Report ordered filed and committee on
public works directed to be guided
by same in repairing the drains.
From C. S. Wylly. city engineer, on
petition of -residents in vicinity of
Stonewall street, between F and G

drainage at that i>oint, that the best
plan to remedy same would be the
cutting of anew ditcli directly to the
westward and emptying into the ditch
now existing between the B. & B. ana
ahe Southern railriad tracks on Coch
ran avenue. Length of ditcli would
be about 490 feet requiring boxing or
piping under the B. &B. tracks, and

dig the ditch in two days. Ordered
filed and (riio committee on public
works instructed to have ditch dug
in accordance with report.

Waycross Boy Runs Away
and Cries When
Arrested
YOUNGSIER SS ONLY IEN
He Will Be Carried Back to His Home
This Morning—Did Not Like the
Jail and Pleaded With the
Officers.
The Brunswick police department
had a genuine case of the prodigal sou
last night, and. although the “son"
! was a lad of about ten years, the
j story is true to human nature and is
I worth telling.
It seems that John Brady, the cen
[ tor of the narrative, and as aliovo
stated, a youngster of ten summers,
whose parents live in Waycross.de
ed yesterday afternoon to quit the pa
rental roof qnd toek “greenfields and
pastures new.”
He forthwith hoarded a B. W.
passenger train at Waycross and ar
:ived in the cty last night.
As soon as ho was missed, however,
his mother, knowing his fondness for
Brunswick, at once notified the police
det art moilt. of the city and as soon as
the young wanderer alighted from the
traiu at the Union station he was
knabbed by Special Patrolman Sauls
and was escorted to the police bar
racks. The little fellow kicked very
prodigiously against being placed in
duronc vile, but to aa avail, and he
was finally made comfortable in the
city jail and after a few severe shrieks
and a number of heart sobs, ho finally
dropped to sleep.
The parents were at once communi
cated with and it. has been agreed
that the juvenile tourist bo placed
" l licTj.ru. this
wording and be delivered to hia
"mi.fYx , im iV*y*voiSi. '*?. 'LM'-.A -
It seems that the father of the boy
is at work at a saw mill in Sheilbine,
Camden county, ami that the young
ster was determined to join him with
or without consent.
He is a bright little chap and suc
ceeded in arousing sympathy of all
of the officers "in the hold last
night.
