At the commencement of the dry season the authorities, although they alleged that there was now an increased supply of water, refused to allow the flushing of drains, although an erupt ve fever was raging. The supply for washing purposes was cut off,. also for gardens and baths, and the general supply was restricted.

The ordinance recently introduced in tho Legislature contained drastic provisions. It increased the rates per cent. for the nondomestic supply, and for certain pur- poses an extra barge was made of 10s. A great miss t was hell at Savannah on March 14, and was sticnded by a good- tempered crowd, while wealthy mea occupied the platform. Resolutions were passed asking for the withdrawal of the ordinarce, but this the Governor declined to do,

The meeting resolved to call on the Government to withdraw the ordinance, and further decided to refuse to take tickets and make the police technical- ly assault the people wishing to attend..

On March, 23, country police were import- ed. The doors of the chamber were triple 919 barried and locked, and armed police were

concealed in the secretary' office. A pro cession composed of the ratepayors' com- mitteo was refused admission, whereupon they requested the chief of police, Colonel Brake, to come forward and technically assault them.
