THE BRUNSWICK TIMEH-CALL. TUESDAY JANUARY 7. 1902
CONTINUED EKOM FIRST PAGE,
Salary of jailor $ too 00—not quite twelve months.
Utentils and implements 45 95
Clothing and bedding.. 27 25
Fuel, lights and water.. 24 75
Feeding prisoners 401 14
$1,084.09
It will be seen at a glance that as the cost of feeding was
slightly over $400.00 that the salary paid the Jailor formerly
was mote than $1,800.00 per annum. In addition to this a
certain percentage of the marks and brands formerly went to the
Jailor. It now goes into the citv treasury. From the miscel
laneous account we find that*in 1900,marks brands and impound
ing fees turned into the city treasury were $518.85, in 1901 they
were $050.20. As thsse Items run about the same each year the
excess for 1901 over 1900 of 1130.35 about represents the tees
that would have gone to the Jailor under the old system. The
wisdom of the present system is at once apparent and under
careful management will aiways prove a saver to the city. We
would recommend that Jailor Brown’s salary be raised as lie bas
given entire satisfaction and fairly earned the increase.
Respectfully submitted, J, C. CALHOUN,
Chairman Police and Fire Department.

PURCHASING COMMITTEE.
Brunswick, Ga., December 31st, 1901.
J o the Mayor and Council, City of Brunswick.
Gentlemen:—ln making contracts and purchasing supplies
for the year 1901, your committee ha? adopted a uniform custom
of obtaining quotations and bids from all sources and of placing
our orders with the lowest responsible parties. All expenditures
involving more than $25.00 have been first referred to council,
So that, as a body, we have at ail times known approximately
what our expenditures would be. Preference has been given to
the city merchants, but of necessity we have been obliged to
purchase outside of the city sometimes and your committee has,
at ail times, exercised the strictest economy consistent with
quality. Respectfully,
T. NEWMAN,
Chairman Purchasing Committee.

31,1901,11 month and 18 days.
PAY ROLL.

Avery gratifying reduction ot $305.07 average per month over

ment shows the largest decrease in running expenses, and the
sanitary conditions are as good as at any time in the past ten
years- 1 his department uses a large quantity of supplies for
feedstuff, fuel at the pumping station and crematory, and a ma
terial factor in the decrease in expense was the valuable services
of Alderman Newman of the purchasing committee.
Die property belonging to this branch of the city government
is inventoried in the report of Chief Green, who is also superin
tendent of sanitation.
All officials and employes in this department deserve com men
datiou for the faithful service rendered the city.

TAXES AND REVENUES.
Brunswick, Ga., December 31st, 19**1.
I o the Mayor and Council, City of Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen:—During 1901 your committee on Taxes and
Revenues Fiat investigated about twenty-five cases where parties
had overpaid taxes by reason ot erroneous returns and assess
ments and failure to notify theclerk of change In ownership of
realty. I liese claims were In nearly every instance well found
ed. We have refunded between *400.00 and *500.00 on this
account. I here are no claims now before us for adjustment.
Respectfully,
R. E- BRIfcSENICK,
Chairman Committee on Taxes and Revenues.

PUBLIC WORKS.
Brunswick, Ga.. December 31st, 1901.
to the Hon. Mayor and Aldermen, City of Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen: Your committee on Public Works begs
to submit annual report for 1901. Since June 1901 the
City Marshal, S. A. Burney, has been acting as super
intendent without any compensation, except the feed bill for his
horse. The duties have been faithfully discharged and the
thanks of the council are due him. The present working force
consists of one guard tor the convicts at a salary of *50.00 per
month and nine regular hands at 11.00 per day each. The city
chaingang is worked under direction of this department. The
total cost of this department in 1901 has been *0934 54 for eleven
months and eighteen days; an average of per month of *591.00
against *599.73 for 1H99 and *050.09 for 1900. We have expend
ed something over *900.00 for shelling the streets and repairing
them and while the streets are in better condition than lor some
two or three years back we need permanent paving tor them.
We have been obliged to go slow as the finances would not per
mit any extensive improvements. We have the city’s finances
in good shape now and I would lecommend that at least *U>,-
000.00 be spent In 1902 for permanent, substantial streets, the
tax lots, owned by the city, would, In my judgment, it put up at
public sale bring us in that much revenue It it cannot be provided
for otherwise. An Inventory ot the cltv’s property in the hands
of this department will be found In the City Marshal’s report.
Respectfully,
r. NEWMAN,
Acting Chairman Public Works Committee.

HARBOR MASTER.
Brunswick, Ga., January 3, 11*02.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council, Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen:—l have collected no lees since June Ist,! by
instructions of city attorney, on account of avoiding law suits.
I have furnished berths and settled numbers of dis
putes, (have been called times to haul vessels and
regulate the same. I have ( >f Ballast
and seen that same was to Harbor Regula
tions. I find the docks in fair condition, mR a great many have
neither ring bolts, piling or cleats to moor vessels to, which
necessarily ought to be furnished, as it makes the mooring ot
vessels very difficult for Masters and Pilots. I find that ihe
water at fronts of docks and in the dredged channels holds good.
I have had no violation on river front to report but one, and that
case was reported to the marshal. Hoping this will prove sat
isfactory, I remain, Respectfully,
B. A; FAH.M, Harbor Master.
