Hon. Mayor and Council,
Ga.
Gentlemen: Wo, -our special com
mittee on hospital buildin-, to whom
was referred the matter of having
other counsel appointed to act wuu
city attorney in passing upon title to
the hospital property, heg leave to re
port as follows: In view c i the well
known fact that the title to this prop

the Jekyl Island club and other out

the completion of the building, we

$25 ,00. Respectfully submitted.

Hanna is Causing Teddy
Much Trouble at
Present
Washington, Nov. 27.—There is but
little doubt but that Senator Hanna is
worrying the present occupant of the
whitehouse no little and it is all on
account of the fact that the Ohio boss
would have little trouble in getting
the republican nomination if he really
wanted it and some of his friends say
that the bee is buzzing very close to
his bonnet.
Tht visit of Governor Odell to Wash-
Ingto is believed to be a virtual come
down of Roosevelt and avowing to
New York’s >-v. JSS&
44 hai TnW
Odell have been at outs over the re
publican leadership of the state and it
is stated that the president ignored
the latter and gave Senator Platt the
benefit of the federal patronage in
that state. In other words he allowed
Senator Platt to name the govern
ment officers. Governor Odell resent
ed this and, it is thought, that he can
easily carry the delegates of New
York for Hanna or any other man he
cares to support.
But the president has squealed. He
has asked Governor Odell to visit him
and has come off the perch, so: those
who know:, say.
In the meantime thousands of Sen
ator Banna’s friends are urging him
to become a candidate for the noun
iation and it is asserted that he can
get the nomination if he cared to.
OYSTERS ARE SCARCE;
BUT FEW NOW ON SALE
Oysters are now very scarce and the
Brunswick 1 housewife is having a dif
ficult time in securing any bivalves.
Yesterday the entire local market was
exhausted and not an oyster could be
obtained.
Just, what is causing this shortage
at present is not known, but it has
been said that the different oyster
factories have bought up so many beds
that there are but few places for the
oyster men to go to secures them.
COL. GOODYEAR EMPLOYED.
He Will Assist City Attorney in Per
fecting Titles to Hospital.
As will be seen in the official pro
ceedings of council published else
where in The News this morning,
council last night decided to employ
Cot. C. P. Goodyear to assist the city
attorney in perfecting the titles to
the hospital building.
It is expected that this matter will
be decided when the superior court
meets next month, and work of com
pleting the hospital building will be
gin as soon thereafter as possible.

Moving of the Steel Plant
Building Causing
Trouble
REMOVED BY THE B. & B.
Railroad Company Claims That Um
sted was Due Them Money and
That the Road Paid for Build
ing the Office.
The article The News Thursday
morning to effect that the steel
plant office building, which had been
donated to the library, had been, re
moved unbeknowing to the owners of
the property, occasioned considerable
comment In, the city, and was discuss
ed generally.
The facts in the case came to light
soon after the publication of the ar
ticle, and the officials of ttfe B. & B.
soon made the statement that the
building had been removed by the
road, and claimed that they had a
right tot the building on the grounds
that Umsted, the steel plant promoter,
was indebted to them several thous
and dollars. It was further claimed
by B. & B. officials, or one of the
officials, rather, that the offline was
erected when Umsted was chairman of
the board of directors of the company
and that the building was paid for
with B. & B. funds under instructions
from Mr. Umsted.'
This statement has been flatly de
nied in seme circles. It may be a
fact that the building was paid for
with B, & B. money, but not when
Mr. Umsted was ehtairman of the
board of directors, as he was not
elected _to that position until after the
building in question was erected.
It is further claimed by some of
the owners of the land on which the
building was erected, that the B. & B.
had no right whatever to remove the
building without first notifying them
them nrnn
erty jLao££_Jihe law.
Just what will be done about the
matter cannot be learned, as it seems
to be rather a complicated affair. Some
of the owners of the property, it is
undtrsiciod, have been seen .since the
question came up and have agreed to
let the road keep the building, while
others are still indignant at the act
ion of the railroad, and say they wilt
fight the matter out.
At any rate the question is not as
yet settled and the courts may be
called upon to settle it.
THERMOMETER DROPPED
BELOW FREEZING POINT
Genuine Cold Weather Was Exper
ienced in Brunswick Yesterday.
The cold weather seems to be with
us in earnest now and the thermome

OPERA HOUSE WILL BE DARK

Show Booked for Next Week But it

ably have a long gest. From the pres
ent outlook there will not be another
attraction at the Grand until Dec

pear on December 3, but the advance

the office of Brobston, Fendig & Cos.
yesterday, hut some of them interest
ed were absent from both and noth
ing definite was decided.
Mr. McKinnon was seen yesterday
by a representative of The News and
he seems to be heartily in favor of the
establishment of .such a plant in this
city.
Mr. McKinnon said Mr. Parks and
himself could not understand very
much about the plant in Gainesville
for the simple feat that they did not
understand the chemicals used in re
fining the products, but he saw enough
he said to convince him that it is
the coming plant of the kind for such
work.
It was decided to have another meet
ing later, probably the first part of
next week at which, it is hoped, all
those interested will be present and
something definite will be done.
Mr. Albert Fendig, who has just
returned from Florida, is familar with
the plants, having visited the one at
Gainesville aud also the one in Mo
