ANNUAL MESSAGE
OF
PAUL E. SEABROOK
MAYOR
SAVANNAH, GEORGIA
REVIEWING, OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR
1923

ANNUAL MESSAGE OF PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor
TO THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN,
CITY
Savannah, Ga., April 2, 1924
Gentlemen:
I know it will be of interest to you and it is also gratify
ing to me to report that, despite the fact the income of the City
in 1923 from its regular sources of revenue was smaller than
1922, the financial condition of the municipality at the close of
the year 1923 showed a substantial improvement of $47,712.25
over the previous year.
This improvement was not made at the expense of the
several departments, they having been maintained in their
usual equipment and the efficiency of their working forces,
but from the very beginning of this administration a policy of
retrenchment was advocated and put into effect, the city's
forces being limited to its actual needs and this policy was
followed throughout the year, and will be pursued during 1924.
A general reduction was made at the beginning of the year
in the salaries of officials and clerks, the total number of em
ployees reduced to 791 as against 892 in 1922, and the total]
pay rolls amounted to $983,889.72 in 1923 as against $1,032,-
226.22 in 1922, or a decrease of $48,336.50.
Our expenditures for betterments during the year were
considerably less by reason of the fact that there were unpaid
bills left over from the previous year amounting to $226,000.00
and also $41,500 of the Sinking Fund which had not been
provided for in 1922 by the former administration. In addi
tion to this, it was incumbent upon us to spend a considerable
amount of money in rehabilitating all equipment as well as to
take care of obligations formerly contracted for paving. These
28 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
expenditures had to be made to give us a clean slate, but in
making them, as well as such other regular expenditures for
sewers, extensions of water mains, opening and grading of
streets, etc., it then became absolutely necessary that ex
penditures for betterments and improvements be curtailed,
and therefore, only $120,972.63 was spent for this purpose
during 1923.
The receipts from taxes and other regular sources of
revenue in 1923 were $1,912,012.70. Of this $1,354,681.83
was available for operations and $185,000.00 was used in
reduction of floating indebtedness, while $297,785.00 was set
aside for the redemption of bonds and interest. Exclusive of
the paving obligations above mentioned, the largest part of
the money available for betterments was expended on exten
sion of water mains, a matter of great importance.
The water supply has been carefully protected during the
year, and earnest efforts have been made to conserve its use
as well as to increase the volume available. As to the opera
tion of this very important department of the City's govern
ment, the results as shown are most gratifying. Receipts for
1923 were greater than in any other year in the department's
history, the revenue over operating expenses amounting to
over $111,000.00, and is the largest revenue over operating
expenses that the department has ever shown. Operating
expenses were also over $28,000.00 less than for the year 1922
and the total receipts for the year show an increase of over
$30,000.00 over 1922, the net revenue for this department
turned over to the City Treasurer showing an increase over
1922 of $61,330.63.
This department has shown excellent results in its water
meter service. There were on January 1st, 1924, 2,684 meters
in service, as against 2,429 in 1922. A meter repair department
is maintained in the basement of the City Hall which is an
added improvement, and an accurate record is now kept in
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 29
the office of the Water Department of all meters in use. The
supply of good, pure water to the City has been adequate, but
at the same time, it would be well to give very serious con
sideration to the recommendation of the Superintendent of
this department with reference to the amount of power now
consumed in operating the electrical pumps, and also the
extension of the water mains and the replacement of smaller
mains in some sections of the City to those of a larger size to
take care of the natural growth of the City, as well as to afford
better fire protection in case of emergency. The other re
commendations of the Superintendent are also noteworthy,
and I invite your careful attention to them.
From the report of the Health Officer, it appears that the
health record of Savannah for 1923 was about the average of
the last few years since influenza has been prevalent. During
the first three months of the year we had a minor epidemic of
influenza which was at that time prevalent all over the United
States, and caused an increased number of deaths from in
fluenza, pneumonia, heart disease and tuberculosis. The
death rate as compared with the previous year was about the
same. In this respect we have the problem of a large negro
population which keeps our mortahty rate higher by compar
ison with the rate for the United States. This condition,
however, I understand obtains in all cities having a large
percentage of negro population. Our mortality rate for white
people is lower than the United States rate. Malarial fever
was less prevalent than for many years, only fifty-four cases
being observed in 1923 as compared with eighty-seven in 1922,
and fully 75% of the cases observed during the year came
from outside of the city. Also an extensive campaign of
vaccination reduced smallpox from thirty-nine cases in 1922
to twenty cases in 1923. The City Laboratory work has
increased considerably in the number of examinations made.
The standard number of these examinations for a city of
Savannah's size is 8,000. Our City Laboratory makes, I
understand, 13,800 examinations. Among other activities
30 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
carried on during the year with the idea of improving health
conditions in the City might be mentioned the re-establish
ment of the City Drug Dispensary, making free medicines
available for all charity patients in Savannah. A campaign
of instructive visits by the Public Health Nurses to
prevent the spread of measles, and also a campaign for the
purpose of investigating hook worm and preventing the spread
of this disease among children, all of which has kept the City
Laboratory, the City Public Health Nursing Service, and the
Health office busy in co-operating in the work.
The Health Department has been reorganized during the
year, and all heads of this department are now selected by
competitive examination, in which preliminary education,
technical education, experience and special ability are con
sidered in selecting candidates. The value of this method of
selection has been well demonstrated in the work of this
department during the year.
I will not go into details as to the ordinary operations of
the departments. They are already familiar to you, and the
full report from each department is printed herewith and these
reports are worthy of attention from all interested citizens.
I will, however, touch upon the report of the Harbor Master
and say it is a source of great satisfaction to us all to know
that Savannah, as an Atlantic seaport is holding her position
as such, despite adverse conditions in the European markets
and general depression during the year in the shipping business.
A total of 1,037 ships entered the harbor, with a total net
tonnage of 2,882,656 during 1923. This shows an increase of
88 ships calling at the Port with an increase in the net tonnage
of 343,049 over the year 1922. This is, of course, not as large
an increase as we should like to have, but the point I want to
emphasize is that the improvement is shown, and as European
conditions improve, the outlook for Savannah as Georgia's
greatest seaport will likewise show an improvement. The
report of the United States District Engineer shows we have
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 31
26 feet of water at mean low water in the channel from the
City to the sea. Considerable improvements have been made
during the year to wharf property, not only by the City in
the improvements made to the Municipal Docks, but also by
the several oil companies located on our river front and by
the Central of Georgia, Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line Railways to the splendid terminals they each
maintain at Savannah.
It was during the year that the bill authorizing an in
crease in the bonded debt of Georgia for the purpose of con
structing State owned terminal facihties, consisting of ware
houses, grain elevators, cold storage warehouses, docks, wharves,
tracks and other terminal facilities on deep water at a Georgia
Port, which bill is known as the State Port Bill, was introduced
in the Legislature, and a State Port Committee of Council was
created at that time to advance Savannah's interest as the
port to be selected. The bill proposes that the Constitution of
Georgia be amended, whereby fifteen million dollars of State
bonds could be issued to create a State Port at a Georgia
Port, leaving it to the people of Georgia, not only to determine
whether bonds should be issued by the State to create this
institution but as well determining the port at which it should
be constructed. This bill has been recommended by the
Committees of both Houses for passage. It is on the calendar
and will come to a vote before the 1924 session of the General
Assembly of Georgia. In the meantime, the issue has been
kept alive in the State by the enthusiasm, the untiring energy,
the intelligent effort and the unfaltering faith of Alderman
Gordon Saussy in Savannah as the logical site for Georgia's
State Port, and I truly believe he has sold to Georgians,
through the columns of the press and otherwise, the idea of
the great benefits that will accrue, not alone to the people at
whose port these terminals will be estabhshed, but principally
to the interior interests who are already beginning to realize
that this development will mean a safe and reliable market
system for their products.
32 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
I am of the opinion, and have so stated on several oc
casions, that one of our great needs in Savannah is a change
in the form of City Government. Progressive cities all over
the country are not only beginning to believe in, but also a
number of them are actually now operating under a Commis
sion Manager form of government, and are doing so with
great success. Our great need is to establish a form of govern
ment as nearly non-political as possible, and I am convinced
that a commission and city manager are needed in Savannah.
During July and August of the year, through the appoint
ment of a Committee of Council, in co-operation with a
number of prominent citizens, representatives of Savannah's
various civic organizations, a charter was drawn and a bill
prepared for passage in the Legislature, which vcould have
given Savannah an ideal form of government. The bill pro
vided for Civil Service Examination in the Pohce and Fire
Departments and had other excellentfeaturesthat would enable
the City Government to operate on a more up-to-date and less
expensive basis. It was not possible at the last Session of the
Legislature to pass the bill in its original form, but this is a
subject to which we should give serious consideration in the
coming year so that all citizens of Savannah who have the
welfare of our City at heart may see our economic and civic
progress speeded up by that splendid spirit of co-operation
which is bound to grow up and live amongst our people as
soon as we get away from the retardinginfluence of abominable
factional politics which for years has been our city's shame.
My sincere hope is that the day is not very far distant when
a Commission-Manager form of Government will be avail
able for the City of Savannah.
In conclusion, I wish to say it is a matter of great satisfac
tion to me to have had during the year the splendid spirit of
co-operation and self sacrifice which has been at all times
displayed by the members of the Board of Aldermen. This
is also true of the Heads of all the departments of the City
Government and those under them.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 33
To the citizens of Savannah, I say, those to whom you
have entrusted the affairs of your government have labored
always with the interest of the public at heart and whatever
difficulties and problems confronted them during the year,
I am convinced, have been satisfactorily disposed of for the
good of the community.
Respectfully,
PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 149
REPORT OF SINKING FUND COMMISSION
Savannah, Ga., December 31, 1923.
Hon. PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor,
City of Savannah,
Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:
The Sinking Fund Commissioners beg to submit their
43rd Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 1923.
During the year the Commissioners have made every effort
to obtain bids for the Issues of 1909 and 1913 but have been
unsuccessful owing to being tax exempt securities the holders
evidently prefer to hold at a little lower rate of interest than to
become liable for taxes, Federal, State, County and Municipal.
Until these conditions change it will be very uncertain as to
future purchases.
We have on demand in good Banks the sum $180,500.00
drawing interest at the same rate (4|%) which the bonds
bear and which amount can be used should we be able to
acquire any of the bonds of the issues of 1909-1913.
The debt of 1909 is $2,219,000.00
The debt of 1913 is 202,500.00
$2,421,500.00
Respectfully submitted,

162 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF MACHINERY
Savannah, Ga., January 15th, 1924.
Mr. Walter S. Blanton,
Chief Fire Department,
Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:
I respectfully submit this, my annual report for the
Mechanical Department for the year ending December 31st,
1923.
I find all apparatus in a very good condition with the
exception of the Haynes Car, used as a Chief's Car. This car
is in a very bad condition owing to the wrecks it has been in.
I recommend that a new light six car be replaced for the
Haynes Car.
The Shop has turned out during the year about 500
different jobs and a total of 2771 hours or an average of 9 hours
per day with only seven wrecks with all the machines in the
Department.
Respectfully Submitted,
W. N. KLINE,
Superintendent of Machinery.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 185
GENERAL REMARKS
I beg to report that the operations and workings of the
Department were conducted smoothly and successfully, both
men and officers striving to maintain the highest efficiency.
During the year the department responded to 613 calls,
the greatest number in any one year in the history of the Fire
Department. Of this total 55 were calls from outside the
corporate limits to which this Department responded and
rendered assistance. It also includes 58 False Alarms sent in
mischievously, thereby unnecessarily endangering the lives
and property of citizens as well as firemen. I would suggest
that drastic measures be taken to apprehend the m'screants,
causing these false alarms and that the punishment be made so
severe that it may be deterrant to others that may be in
clined to tamper with the Fire Alarm System. There were
also 78 calls for grass fires and brush fires. The great
majority of these may have been prevented if property
owners observed the law requiring them to cut grass and weeds
off their property in the corporate limits.
These grass and brush fires at times become quite dangereous, often setting fire to fences, outhouses, and dwellings, and
as the great majority of the grass fires occur in the daytime,
being started by boys, when the men of the families are away
at work, the lives of the women and children of the homes in
the vicinity of the grass fires are placed in great jeopardy.
I would suggest that the ordinance requiring property owners
to cut the grass and weeds be strictly enforced, or some
other means adopted that will prevent this great danger to
life and property.
Although the department has been called to a great num
ber of fires, the loss from same has been comparatively small, of
course excepting thefire at the Central of Georgia R.R. Shops,
November 16th, 1923. This fire required the efforts of the
186 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
entire Department to bring it under control. When the first
apparatus of the Department arrived on the scene of this fire
it had already assumed the proportion of a conflagration, and
the efforts of the Department were bent to the purpose of
preventing the fire spreading to other parts of the shop system
to the east and north of the shops that were burning, and
surrounding outside property, and in that the Department was
successful.
To warn traffic and clear right of way for the Department
apparatus proceeding to fires a Siren has been purchased and
will be placed by Superintendent T. P. Sandiford of the
Electrical Department, in the vicinity of Broughton and
Whitaker Streets, it will work automatically with the Fire
Alarm System and if it works successfully and proves beneficial,
it is hoped other Sirens may be placed at other prominent
street intersections of the business district of the City.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I most urgently recommend that a new Fire Station be
added to the Department and be placed in some portion of the
South Eastern section of the City. This section of the City is
extending and building going on extensively, a great number
of these buildings are beautiful and expensive homes of our
citizens and the nearest fire station to them is over a mile
away and many of them are a mile and a half and two miles
from the nearest fire station, and if it should be decided to
build this new station I recommend that a new triple combi
nation Pumper, hose wagon and chemical be purchased and
installed therein.
I would also recommend that an auto car be purchased
to replace the Haynes car now in service. This Haynes car
is used by all Chiefs on duty responding to all alarms and has
been in continuous service since 1916, and it has given good
service, but is now needing repairs continually.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 187
In conclusion I wish most sincerly to thank his Honor the
Mayor, the Honorable City Council, the Honorable Committee
on Fire, together with the heads of the different departments
of the City government, especially that of the Police Depart
ment for their valued assistance and co-operation during my
term in office.
I also wish to extend to my assistants A. John Toshach,
T. J. Fogerty, and Leo. D. Walsh, my most sincere thanks,
for their valued assistance at all times.
I also wish to thank the Officers and Members of the
several department companies of the Department for their
willingness and efficiency displayed during the performances
of their duties.
Very respectfully submitted,
W. S. BLANTON,
Chief Engineer, Savannah Fire Dept.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 191
REPORT OF POLICE DEPARTMENT
Savannah, Ga., January 19, 1924.
Hon. PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor,
City,
Dear Sir:
I beg to submit herewith my annual report for the year
of 1923. I wish to call your attention to the following report
of the raiding squad, which is not in the body of the regular
report, and of which I am most particularly pleased.
During my term of office from January 22nd, to December
31st, 1923,1 have made a special effort to cope with the whiskey
violators, and wish to state that I have had the closest co
operation from the raiding squad, and hope to make a much
better showing during the coming year.
The raiding squad assisted by the Government forces
made the following report:
Federal search warrants secured by the raiding squad.... 755
State cases made by the different members of the Dept..... 227
Total number of cases tried during the year.... 982
Number of convictions in State and Federal Courts 439
Number caught the second time 43
Number caught the third time 9
Total number cases made by the Police Department
from January 22nd, to December 31st, 1923..... 1,034
Due to the high cost of living and the problem of getting
efficient men for Patrolmen, I wish to recommend a salary
increase to equal the salary basis of the firemen, viz, 1st.
six months of service $100.00, 2nd six months service
$110.00, 2nd and 3rd years service $115.00, 4th and 5th years
service $120.00, six to ten years service $125.00, eleven to
fifteen years service $135.00, and after fifteen years service
$135.00.
192 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
During the year the City has practically finished a most
palatial detention home for White women of which the City
and the public at large may be proud. Also have added
twenty head of horses, with stables to care for them.
I wish to recommend that the City build a new station
house as the present one is entirely without accommodations
to care for the present needs.
In conclusion I wish to thank the Police Committee, and
the Honorable Mayor, and Aldermen for their co-operation
during the year.
Yours very truly,
ENOCH L. HENDRY,
Chief of Police.

office of the department passing on all matters of importance
with which we had to deal. The Committee consists of
Alderman A. W. Morehouse, Chairman, Aldermen Wheless,
Wright and Sloat.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 237
The personel of the Department and the salaries paid to
each, follows:
T. P. Sandiford, City Electrician $2,380.00
E. H. Todd, Assistant City Electrician 2,100.00
J. C. McDowell, Electrical Inspector 2,100.00
J. B. Gibson, Lineman 1,440.00
G. S. Morrell, Batteryman 1,440.00
Total Salaries authorized for the year $9,460.00
The Board of Electrical Examiners, which is an adjunct
of this department held four meetings during the year, three
to examine applicants for certificates to do electrical work
and one to renew certificates to those who qualified for the
renewals. This Board consists of J. W. Rollinson, Chairman,
T. P. Sandiford and J. C. McDowell. No salaries are paid the
members but the chairman receives the fees collected for
examination of applicants for certificates, which amounted to
$15.00 during the year.
During the year 1922, an ordinance was passed cancelling
all outstanding certificates of the board as of March 1st, 1923,
provision being made for the renewal, on that date, of all
certificates for which the holders made application, provided
the holder thereof had actually been engaged in electrical
work or construction during the past year, and had not failed
or refused to do such work or construction in accordance with
the ordinances of the City of Savannah. Thisresulted in weed
ing out thirty-two unused certificates that were in the hands of
parties that had left the City, or the electrical business, or
were dead; twenty-nine out of a total of sixty-one being
renewed. These twenty-nine renewals together with two
issued since, making a total of thirty-one certificates now
active, the names of the holders and the firms they represent
are on file in this office.
The work of the Electrical Department consists of
maintenance and extention of the Fire and Police Alarm and
238 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Signal Systems, the installation and repairs of all electrical
equipment of the various City Departments, including lights,
bells, private telephones, motors, elevators, fans and heating
devices, as well as the electrical equipment of the City owned
automobiles, considerable time being required for the storage
batteries of these cars alone. In addition to the above we
installed and maintained the hose towers used by the Fire
Department at their seven stations and perform sundry
other services to both the City Departments and the general
public where considered advisable and proper. An outline of
these various services will be found in this report under their
separate headings. The City Electrician is also keeper of the
City clocks which includes the master clock and seven second
ary clocks in the City Hall, the tower clock in No. 6 Fire
Station, all of which belong to the City, also the clock in the
tower of the Independent Presbyterian Church, which is the
property of the church. There being no appropriation for these
clocks the labor is carried by the Electrical Department, the
supplies for the City Hall clock by the City Hall, and those
for the clock at No. 6 Fire Station by the Fire Department.
The City Electrical Inspector is connected with this Depart
ment, and his duties are to inspect and regulate the electrical
installations in and on buildings in the City. The ordinance
defining his duties and authority does not extend beyond this,
except that he may order the cutting off of current or removal
of wires where they interfere with the work of firemen at a fire.
The City Electrician has attended all meetings of the heads of
departments called by the Mayor during the year, with the
possible exception of one or two, when some important duty
prevented. He also attended, as the representative of the
City, the Semi-Annual Convention of the Georgia Electrical
Association, held at Tybee, in June, also the one held in
Atlanta by the same organization in November, mention being
made of each in my monthly reports. The entire department
attended an exhibition and demonstration of modern and
antiquated electrical devices, prepared by the Savannah
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 239
Electric and Power Co., on invitation from Mr. W. B. Purse,
which was most instructive and interesting.
There were no accidents to, or caused by any members of
this department except two automobile collisions, one with a
Mr. Flesher in which both the City and Mr. Flesher's machines
required straightening of fenders and other minor re-adjust
ments, this being done by the employees of this department,
the other with a Mr. Stercus in which both the City and Mr.
Stercus' machines were pretty well battered up, however, the
matter was adjusted by Mr. Stercus bearing the expense of
hisrepairs and this department bearing theirs. The cost of parts
of the City machine amounted to $23.85 the labor being done
by employees of this department.
ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS
The Electrical Inspector received 1655 paid applications
for permits to do electrical work on which he made 2795
inspections, covering 25,192 lights, 223 motors, 187 meters,
127 bell transformers, 90 fans, 16 signs, 11 charging sets,
9 heaters, 2 filling stations, 10 irons, 1 blue print machine,
1 welding machine, 1 elevator, 1 ex-ray machine, made
325 special calls; found 319 defects and had 323 defects
corrected. Found 59 fuses jumped out leaving the installa
tions without fuse protection. Had current put out on 11
installations that were too dangerous to permit the customary
ten day notice for correction of defects. Investigated 4 fires
of electrical origin, two of which caused by jumped fuses and
the other two by oversized fuses. Attended one meeting of the
moving picture Board at Fire Headquarters of which the
Electrical Inspector is a member.
CITY CLOCKS
Service was very good the entire year, there being but slight
trouble experienced. The City Hall Tower Clock failed to
strike the hour on two occasions, due to the City Hall porter
jamming the striking wire, leading to the bell on top of the
240 / MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
dome, with the hatch door. The carelessness of the porter
was reported to the custodian of the building. On one other
occasion this clock failed to strike the hour but the cause was
not definitely determined, although it was reported at the time
as a slight disarrangement of the striking mechanism. It is
possible that it was due at that time, as in the two other
instances, to the porter allowing the hatch door to jam the
striking wire. On one occasion three of the seven secondary
clocks in the City Hall were found to be three minutes slow,
but no cause could be determined for it. We repainted the
dials and other exterior woodwork of the clock at No. 6 Fire
Station.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
IN GENERAL
For this Department we have kept in repair and working
order the Fire Alarm System, the electric lights, bells, motors,
heating devices, etc., of the several stations, as well as the
electrical equipment of the automobiles and fire apparatus,
making changes and additions whenever directed to do so.
Rearranged lights, bells, etc., for the changes made by Chief
Blanton in his office when he took charge, installed two
additional lights for No. 3 Station and made up two long
extention lights for the Superintendent of Machinery. We
installed a new hose tower at No. 3 Station, rebuilt one at
No. 4 Station and repaired those at Nos. 1, 2 and 5 Stations.
On request of Chief Blanton we hung a sign across Bull Street
for the Dokeys Carnival and removed it when the carnival
was over; stationed four of our men at as many stations during
the general inspection of the department; had one man assist
the firemen at the Phillip Levy fire, one at the Central of
Georgia Shop fire, one at the 109 East Duffy Street fire, and
one at the 119 East Bay Street fire. I responded in person, at
the request of Chief Blanton, to the J. D. Weed and Company
building on Broughton Street to stop the sprinkler Alarm Bell
which had been ringing for an hour or more before I arrived;
lalsoathis request served with the officers of the Fire Depart
ment during Fire Prevention week visiting the schools of the City
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 241
as well as the suburbs, talking Fire Prevention, the campaign
this year being on a much larger scale than was ever attempted
here before.
FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
The Fire Alarm System required a great deal of work to
keep the troubles cleared up due to the fact that the miles of
cable and overhead conductors are in constant danger of injury
or destruction by accident or carelessness of others than those
who have it in charge, and that there are numerous things that
can happen to the many devices in use in the system. It is
never pleasant to record the failure of equipment in ones
charge, especially when it is as important as that of the Fire
Alarm System which is expected to work perfectly at all times,
but following my custom of former years I give below the
operation, changes and additions to, as well as the failures of
equipment, with the reasons for such failures as was experienc
ed, also an outline of damage and loss of equipment through
accident or otherwise.
CIRCUIT TROUBLES
No. 1Out forty five minutes due to wire breaking on
magnet in Station No. 1.
No. 2Out five times. Once due to line wire burning
down on Fahm Street from cross with high voltage line of
Savannah Electric and Power Company, out one hour. Once
due to short circuit in cable on Bay Street near Jefferson, out
one hour and thirty minutes. Once due to wires and poles
being'torn down by freight train in yards of Central of Georgia
Railway Co., out two hours. Once due to wires and poles
being torn down by another freight train at the same place
and in the same manner, out one hour. Once due to poor
contacts in box No. 51, out thirty minutes.
No. 3Out once due to poor contacts in main switch
board, to thirty minutes.
S-9
242 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
No. 4Out once due to poor contacts in lightning arrester
at Railroad Street and Lathrop Avenue, out one hour.
No. 5Reported out once but on investigation found
that there had been a mistake made by the party making
the report.
No. 6Out once due to lightning burning down wires at
47th and Reynolds Streets, out one hour and forty five minutes.
No. 7Out twice. Once due to accidental breaking of
wire by our men while connecting up Chief Blanton's residence
gong on Taylor Street, out fifteen minutes. Once due to
accidental breaking of wire by our men while working at
No. 7 Station, out ten minutes.
No. 8Out three times. Once due to defective fuse at
35th Lane and Montgomery Street, out one hour. Once due
to box No. 35 being knocked from pedestal by an automobile,
out one hour. Once due to a broken screw in cable box at
35th Lane and Montgomery Street, out two hours and forty
five minutes. This last trouble was not reported by the Fire
Department, as it should have been, at the time the circuit
went open, the actual time required to locate and remedy the
trouble was one hour.
BOX TROUBLE
No. 7 was reported once due to need of cleaning. I had
it cleaned and oiled and pulled again the next day when it
came in slower than before, which was found to be due to
having changed the adjustment.
No. 13 was reported twice. Once due to hitting an extra
lick during test alarm, the cause of which was not located.
Once due to brake wheel coming loose on shaft causing the
test alarm to be lost.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 243
No. 24 was reported once due to a gummed up main
spring, causing the first round of test alarm to be mixed up,
the three remaining rounds came in correct.
No. 46 was reported once due to failure of the box when
it had struck four licks, caused by repeater trouble at the City
Hall. As this box was of the successive type it came in auto
matically sixty eight seconds after failing and delivered four
full rounds.
No. 65 was reported once due to the outer door of the
box being stuck with paint so that it could not readily be
opened for an alarm of fire, the apparatus responding on tele
phone call. This was the only trouble during the year that
resulted in a lost alarm for fire and is to be regretted since I
feel that carelessness on our part was the cause.
No. 75 was reported once due to the box coming in without
being pulled, caused by lightning setting off the relay in circuit
of the private alarm system of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
Company on their wharf property. This box is arranged to
go off automatically when any of the private boxes are pulled,
but in this case the lightning did the automatic pulling. I
wrote the Railway Officials requesting that they have a more
reliable set of lightning arresters installed than they had in
use, which request they have complied with and I do not expect
a repetition of this occurrence.
No. 217 was reported once due to brake wheel having
been improperly adjusted onaprevious occasion when work was
being done on the box. Had it been pulled for fire it would
not have come in.
BOXES OUT FOR ONE DAY OR LONGER
No. 43Out for one day to permit the changing of pole
by Savannah Electric and Power Co.
No. 121Out two days to permit the changing of pole
by Savannah Electric and Power Co.
244 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
No. 152Out one day on account of poles being down in
Central of Georgia Railway yards.
No. 152Out three days due to poles being down in
Central of Georgia Railway yards.
No. 413Out since the Central of Georgia Railway Shop
fire on account of box being burned up.
BOXES DAMAGED
No. 21Casting to outer box broken, apparently by an
automobile, reported this to the Chief of Police.
No. 134Outer box casting broken by an automobile.
Some information was obtained as to the owner and driver of
the machine that ran into this box, all of which was given the
Police Department in a letter from this office to the Chief of
Police.
No. 321 was found to have been cemented up in such
way that the door could not be opened without the aid of
tools to chip away the cement.
No. 413 was destroyed by fire. This box was the property
of the Central of Georgia Railway Company.
GONG, INDICATOR, CALL BOX AND TOWER BELL
TROUBLE
Gong in Fire Headquarters was reported seven times.
Six times it had to be adjusted, when it was decided to add
more wire to the magnets, which corrected the trouble.
Once due to firemen removing the bell for polishing and re
placing it in the wrong position causing it to hit two blows
each stroke.
No. 1 Station made seven reports. Twice no trouble
could be found. Once the call box had struck when pulled at
some previous time, and let go later giving them three taps on
the gong. Once the main spring to the indicator was broken,
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 245
requiring the removal of this device which was replaced two
days later. Twice the gong struct incorrectly due to cord on
the adjusting spring being broken.
No. 2 Station made six reports. Once they failed to get
the test box due to the circuit going dead on the first stroke
of the bell, caused by bad contacts in box.
No. 51Once on account of a loose screw in governor stop
pin of indicator. Once due to gong mechanism being gummed.
Once due to broken cord on gong adjusting spring. Once due
to broken cord on indicator adjusting spring and once due to
call box getting out of adjustment.
No. 3 Station made five reports. Three times no trouble
could be found. Once they failed to get the last round of the
test box due to circuit No. 3 going dead as the box reached the
third round, caused by bad contacts in the main switch board.
Once the gong was gummed up. There are two gongs and five
indicators in this station.
No. 4 Station reported once due to failure to get the test
alarm on account of circuit going dead on the first stroke of
the bell, caused by bad contacts in lightning arrester at
Railroad Street and Lathrop Avenue.
No. 5 Station was reported once due to not being able to
set their indicator on account of a broken cog in the indicator
mechanism.
No. 6 Station reported once due to indicator being
gummed up.
No. 7 Station had no trouble during the year. Thegongin
Fire Chief's residence failed on one occasion due to a broken
spring. The gong in residence of City Electrician failed once
due to wires short cicruiting in trees. The gong in Gwinnett
Street pumping station failed once due to wires short circuit
ing in trees. The gong in residence of Superintendent of
Machinery was reported once due to the bending of a small
lever in the mechanism.

The Tower bell at No. 2 Station was reported twice.
Once due to the weight chain becoming tangled and caught in
the cogs. Once on account of being run down. The firemen
at this station were responsible for both of these troubles.
The Tower bell at No. 3 Station was reported fifteen
times. Twice no trouble could be found. Three times out of
adjustment. Twice the trip weight wire was broken. Once the
trigger spring was broken. Once due to a weak spring causing
extra blows on the bell, the repairs of which required putting
the bell out of service for one day. Twice due to worn slides,
to remedy, these slides had to be removed and dressed
off. Once due to varnish getting on the brake wheels of the
tower bell transmitter, caused by the carelessness of the fire
men while giving the transmitter case a coat of varnish.
Twice due to box, covering the magnets in the bell tower,
being knocked out of place by firemen working on the tower.
These last two reports are really one trouble, as the second
one came in before we had a chance to attend the first. Our
man in replacing this box made a bad job of it and another
report of failure came in as a result.
TAPS ON CIRCUITS
There were thirty nine taps received during the year
that caused momentary interruption to the eight box circuits,
and one tap on the bell tower circuit that affected this circuit
only. Twenty two of these taps were accidentally caused by
our men while making repairs to portions of the equipment.
Eleven were sent in at one time by 1st Assistant Chief Toshach
for a fire drill, causing the indicators to show box No. 9 and
the apparatus to respond to this box. Six came in from cir
cuit No. 1 which was probably caused by workmen of the
Telephone Company or the Seaboard Air Line Railway
Company across the river, as this circuit loops through the
Telephone cable to the island and the lines over there are
looked after by the electrician of the Railway Company. I
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 247
am more inclined to believe that the Telephone Company was
responsible for these taps and acting on this belief I wrote the
manager of this company two letters of complaint since which
time we have not had any further trouble of this character.
The tap on the tower bell circuit was caused by our men
while working on a cable.
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS
Removed the residence gongs of former 3rd Assistant
Chief G. E. Johnson, and former Superintendent of Machinery
W. A. Mclntyre. Purchased one new gong which with the two
taken out were installed in the residences of Chief W. S.
Blanton, 3rd Assistant Chief L. D. Walsh and Superintendent
of Machinery W. N. Kline. Chief Blanton later changed his
residence from 1220 East Henry Street to 126 East Taylor
Street and we moved his gong to the new address.
Box 424 was installed at 36th and Price Streets and box
141 moved from 37th and Abercorn Streets to 37th and
Lincoln Streets.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS
During the year we repainted seventy nine alarm boxes
and twenty six box pedestals, also re-roofed and painted nine
teen cable boxes. We removed the old timbers from under the
striking mechanism of the Big Duke and replaced them with
new ones. This necessitated putting the bell out of service
for two days.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
In Genera)
For this department we have kept in repair and working
order the Police Signal System, the electric lights, bells, fans,
motors, heaters, private telephones, etc., of the several buildings,
also the electrical equipment of the department automobiles,
making.changes and additions when directed to do so. We
248 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
wired the new stables for lights, installed and removed the
lights and fans used ac the supper given by the department,
made up two long portable extention lights for the mechanic,
moved the wiring for the tailors iron one room to another
and performed sundry other services not necessary to mention.
SIGNAL SYSTEM
As in the case of the Fire Alarm System, the Police
Signal System has not given perfect service and while I would
prefer to omit mention of the many instances of trouble
experienced with its operation, I believe it is entirely proper
that they be recorded. The performance of the system to
gether with the improvements made are listed here under their
separate heads.
CIRCUIT TROUBLES
No. 1 was reported three times. Once due to a broken
line wire affecting one box. Once due to lightning blowing
fuses affecting two boxes. Once due to wire breaking in
magnet on main switch board affecting the entire circuit.
No. 2 was reported seven times, once due to short circuit
in box No. 314 affecting the entire circuit; once due to broken
line wire affecting three boxes; once due to short circuit in line
wire affecting the whole circuit; twice due to short circuit in
box No. 121 affecting the whole circuit; once due to broken
line wire affecting two boxes; once due to broken line wire
affecting one box.
No. 3 was reported six times, once due to firemen at
Headquarters in washing down the walls preparatory to rekalsoming soaked the Police cable with water and kalsomine;
once due to firemen at Headquarters setting the telephone
in such way that the receiver hook was held up, both of these
troubles affected the whole circuit; once due to short circuit in
line wire affecting the whole circuit; twice due to short circuits
in box No. 131; once due to broken line wire affecting one box.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 249
No. 4 was reported four times, once due to short circuit
in cable affecting the whole circuit; once due to broken line
wire affecting the whole circuit; twice due to policemen not
properly hanging up their receiver at No. 1 Sub-Station,
affecting the whole circuit.
BOX TROUBLES
No. 24 reported once due to defective condenser.
No. 34 reported once due to contacts being damaged by
arcing. It was necessary to use parts of box No. 31 to get
this box in working order, these parts were then replaced in
31 the next day.
No. 41 was reported twice, once as coming in fast wagon
in place of report, as no trouble could be found with the box
the supposition is that the patrolman made a mistake and
pulled fast wagon; once defective receiver cord.
No. 42 reported once but no trouble could be found.
No. 44 reported twice, once no trouble could be found;
once loose contacts in telephone.
No. 51 reported once due to contacts stuck in telephone.
No. 114 reported once due to loose contacts in telephone.
No. 122 was reported once but no trouble could be found.
No. 123 reported once due to loose contacts in telephone.
No. 124 reported once due to loose contacts in box
mechanism.
No. 131 reported twice, once no trouble could be found
and once due to the receiver having been changed the day
before and the wrong kind of receiver used.
No. 214 reported once due to weak drag spring.
No. 312 reported twice, once due to loose contacts in
telephone and once no trouble could be found.
No. 321 reported once due to loose contacts in telephone.
250 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
No. 323 reported twice, once due to patrolman trying
to use a borrowed key that was not made for a police box,
and once due to break down of insulation in the box.
No. 412 reported once due to receiver disk having been
turned over in the receiver, probably by one of the patrolmen.
No. 512 reported once but no trouble could be found.
No. 513 reported once but no trouble could be found.
The telephone in mechanic's shop reported three times,
once no trouble could be found; once due to dead battery and
once due to receiver left off the hook.
OPERATING BOARD TROUBLES
Howler reported six times due to bad platinum contact.
Bell drops reported three times, once due to bad contact
on switch board; once to a broken wire on switch board and
once to need of adjustment.
Desk phone reported five times, once due to broken
receiver; once due to broken receiver cord; once due to loose
contacts; once due to transmitter cord had pulled out of bind
ing post and once the Sergeant had switched offthe equipment
to transmit a fire alarm and forgot to switch it back.
The tape machine reported thirteen times, ten times due
to being out of adjustment; once co worn bearings; once to
ink roller getting stuck and once due to battery trouble.
All police troubles were attended to as promptly as
possible, in some instances, however, troubles developing at
night were not reported to me until the next day and in some
cases we have delayed attention to these reports for a few hours
when the nature of the trouble showed thatit was unimportant.
In quite a number of instances the troubles experience are
discovered in our systems of testing and are not even known to
the sergeant operating the board and checking up on the
patrolman's reports.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 251
BOXES OUT FOR ONE DAY OR MORE
No. 31 out for one day due to having to use part of this
box for another more important.
No. 123 out for one day due to line trouble that could
not readily be cleared up.
No. 331 out one day to permit changing of pole by the
Savannah Electric and Power Co.
Phone in Fire Headquarters out six days due to renovat
ing offices.
DAMAGED EQUIPMENT
Box No. 131 knocked from pedestal, apparently by an
automobile.
IMPROVEMENTS
Re-painted thirty one boxes and six box pedestals.
Added ten new lightning arresters to the outside line equip
ment.
WATER DEPARTMENT
For this department we have kept in repair and working
order the electric pumping equipment of the several stations,
the lights, bells, private telephones, etc. as well as the electrical
equipment of the department automobiles. In the meter
repair room at City Hall we installed a one half horse power
motor and eight lights, also a telephone from this room to the
office on the fourth floor of the building. In the office at
City Hall we rearranged the bells and telephones to conform to
the changes in the office arrangement made when the new
force took charge.
The electric pumps have been given careful attention,
making inspections of the electrical equipment at frequent
intervals and repairs whenever necessary. As a precaution
against lightning we changed the form of arrester used at the
252 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
park extention pump and ran an additional ground wire to the
sheathing of the cable feeding this pump, as considerable
trouble had been experienced here during the early part of the
summer. For the same reason we ran additional ground wires
to the arresters of the Reynolds Square and the Dasher Park
Pumps, all of which appeared to have reduced the troubles
previously experienced from lightning. No expensive repairs
were necessary during the year, such work as was done
amounted to changing contacts in starters and switches,
replacing lightning arrester resistor tubes, replacing a seven
teen foot piece of cable and making minor adjustments. The
splendid service these pumps have given reflects much credit on
the employees of the water department who have them in
charge, our ability to get to the troubles promptly and make
repairs before they assume serious proportions is due in large
measure to our being promptly advised by them when any
thing out of the ordinary is noticed in the operation of the
electrical equipment.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
For this department we have kept in repair and working
order the electric lights, bells, motors, etc., of the shops and
stables as well as the electrical equipment of the department
automobiles, making changes and additions whenever re
quested. In the shop we installed three additional lights, two
additional switches and changed one drop light to a large
reflector fixture. At the request of Dr. Bassett the Health
Officer and Mr. Jewett the Keeper of the City Lot, I installed
an electric dog killing device, which arrangement was at first
considered as an experiment and gave some trouble for a while
but settled down to good work after two or three changes were
made. I advised against the use of such equipment and in
stalled it under protest as I considered it too dangerous for
operation except by some one trained in the handling of high
voltage equipment. If it is found desirable to continue its
use I would recommend further changes in the interest of
safety.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 253
MARKET
For this department we have kept in repair and working
order the electric lights and fans in the building, making
changes and additions whenever requested. We installed an
additional light in the men's toilet. The twelve ceiling fans
hanging in the entrances of the building were found in the
beginning of the summer to be in very bad shape, there being
fourteen broken and missing blades, and with those remaining
as well as the motor parts of the fans, covered with paint and
dirt until they had the appearence of being several years old,
although they had been purchased the year before. Since
replacing these fourteen blades three others have been broken
and had to be replaced with new ones. No one seems to know
how or by who this damage is done but is probably workmen
moving ladders or other material under the fans while they are
running.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
For this building we have kept in repair the electric
lights, bells, motors, etc., of the laboratory, clinic and health
center as well as the electric equipment of the department
automobiles, making changes and additions whenever re
quested. We installed several lights in the health center
building at the fair grounds.
ABBATOIR
For this building we have kept in repair and working
order the electric lights, bells, motors, etc., making changes!
and additions whenever directed. Early in the year we were
requested by the Comptroller to check a bill for repairs, the
work of which was done during the last administration,
amounting to nearly one thousand dollars. One man from
this office spent practically a day on this job but was unable to
verify the many items of charges and I returned the bill with a
statement to this effect.
254 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
SPECIAL WORK OF THE ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT
By direction of the Mayor this department rendered
assistance to the Co-Operative Creamery in laying out the
work and getting prices on the installation of motors and
lights in the city owned building in the 400 block on Oglethrope
Avenue East. By request of the Savannah Fair Association
and with the consent of the Mayor and Chairman of this
committee I did considerable work at the fair grounds in
the repair and installation of electric lights in the several
buildings and around the grounds of the fair association, the
material used was purchased by the association. After the fair
was closed we removed such material and equipment as would
suffer depreciation or loss before being needed again, and
turned it over to the keeper of the grounds, by direction of
Dr. Hanaforde the manager. The cost of labor expended
amounted to approximately one hundred dollars. By request
of Mrs. J. G. Smith, chairman of committee of ladies who have
charge of the detention home, and with the approval of the
chairman of the electrical committee of council, we installed
additional lights and made repairs to others at the home on
St. Julian Street. The cost of labor and material did not
exceed twenty five dollars.
OTHER DEPARTMENTS
For the City Hall, and Auditorium we have kept in
repair and working order the electric lights, bells, motor fans,
etc. For the Harbor Master, Marshal, Municipal Court,
Engineer and Building Inspector, we have kept in repair and
working order the electrical equipment of their automobiles.

IN CONCLUSION
When the Police Department built the new stables we
had to abondon our store room that stood on the site to be
occupied; our fire and police material being brought to the
City Hall and stored in the basement. This material requires
considerable space as it is both heavy and bulky, consisting of
lead cable, coils of wire, barrels of insulators and pins, iron box
pedestals and numerous other articles, all of which is now in
the open area just outside the record vault, giving the place
an air of untidiness that should call for criticism. To place
this material under lock and key and yet be convenient to us
I would recommend the moving of the colored toilet and lava
tory, which adjoins this office, to some other location and
giving this room to this department for a store room. I have
a plan worked out for taking care of the colored toilet pro
position if it is decided to move it from its present location,
that I will submit if requested.
More Fire Alarm boxes and more Police Signal boxes are
needed in the outlying districts to keep pace with the steady
growth of our City, this year being the only one in several
years that we have not made additions to these installations.
An average of five Fire Alarm boxes and two Police boxes are
necessary to be installed each year to properly cover the area
being built up, and to catch up with what we are behind
this year and provide for the next we should have ten new
Fire Alarm and four new Police Signal boxes for installation
256 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
in the near future. More underground cable should be pro
vided for the joint use of these two systems to replace some of
the overhead wires now in use, to guard against the inevitable
interruptions of service that occur when we are visited by
hurricanes, sleet storms and fires that destroy pole lines.
All extentions of these systems for the lastfourteen years have
been made overhead as it is the cheapest construction, but
every foot of wire had increased our troubles far and beyond
what they have been if underground cable were used.
If I am not trespassing beyond my prerogatives I should
like to say a few words about the City Electric Pumping
Stations. It appears from the statements of the Superinten
dent of the Water Department that the cost of current to
operate these pumps is the one big item and worry of his
department. While this is a matter with which I am not
expected to evidence any great concern, it may not be out of
place for me to give you my ideas on this question, with some
suggestions that I have to offer as a solution to this problem,
which may or may not have sufficient meritto warrent more than
an investigation. You have at your Gwinnett Street Pumping
Station an ideal location for the installation of condencing
steam driven turbine generators, I do not mean the best
possible site, as I am minful of the matter of fuel transport
ation, but you have on duty at all times an engineer and fire
men that are already on the pay roll and must be kept there;
you have to have steam up at all times, and if sufficient boiler
capacity is provided to run both your electric pumps and the
steam pumps you would be able to deliver as much water
from this one plant as you are now able to pump with the pre
sent arrangement, and with the only additional cost of the
extra fuel consumed. I of course realize that this will cost
quite a sum of money and is a big obstacle, but surely not an
insurmountable one, especially if the saving in cost of operation
will be sufficient to make it worth while. The City owns the
streets and the placing of poles and feeders, while expensive
will not be a difficult engineering problem, and will if so de
signed, give separate and convenient control to each pump
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 257
from the switch board at the generating station. If sufficient
steam is being generated to run the electric pumps only and
they should fail less time would be required to get the steam
pumps going than is now the case as you would only have to
open up the valves of the latter and go to pumping, where
as you now have to first get steam up and fires going, requir
ing several minutes. I want to apologize for intruding on this
subject, but the question of our water supply is of such im
portance to our City that I could not refrain from getting my
ideas before you.
We are very much in need of an additional Electric
Inspector to make a house to house inspection of the old work
that stands year in and year out without being seen, except
when some new work is being done in the premises. The City
has steadily grown each year until one inspector can only
hurriedly inspect the new installations, usually giving each
job about half the time that it should require. One inspector
did the inspecting twenty two years ago and one inspector is
doing the inspecting today, despite the fact that the City has
almost doubled its incorporated area and the electrical install
ations turned out each day have more than trebled. The fees
collected for these inspections nearly pay the salary of the
inspector, and an additional inspector would not be a dead
expense as he would cause some fees to be collected for any
changes required by him to correct defects found to exist.
A house to house inspection would tend to break up the
dangerous practice that many of our citizens have of allowing
the boys of the family to constitute themselves house electric
ians and to make changes and additions to the wiring of the
house, rather than have it done by a regular certified electric
ian who is responsible to the City Electrical Inspector for
safely and properly doing the work. We must not weary of
well doing and while we have thus far been able to safeguard
the lives and property of our citizens, in our special way, to
the end that there is not a single instance on record where any
one in this City has been killed or even shocked by electricity
258 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
in any of the homes or factories since the creating of the
Electrical Department, we should make conditions even
safer than they are now or have been in the recent past, and
I earnestly recommend that this be given attention and con
sideration.
Respectfully,
T. P. SANDIFORD,
City Electrician.

The receipts for 1923 are greater than in the history of the
department. The revenue over operating expenses amounts
to $111,046.70. This is also the largest revenue over operat
ing expenses in the history of the department.
266 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
During 1923, the operating expenses amounted to $107,-
009.16, which is $28,384.08 less than the amount expended for
operating expenses in 1922. For the year 1923, the total
receipts of the department were $218,055.86 against $187,-
859.02 for the year 1922, showing an increase of $30,196.84 in
1923. The total net revenue for 1923 is $86,727.43 against
$25,396.80 for 1922, showing an increase of net revenue
turned over to the City Treasurer of $61,330.63 for 1923.
It is true that the two Meter Clerks, Flat Rate Clerk, two
Meter Readers and Turncock were transferred to the Comp
troller's office on February 1, 1923. The removal of the above
mentioned positions did not effect the operating expenses of
the department, due to the fact that it was found necessary to
establish a meter repair department, consisting of a foreman
and two assistants, and the purchase of a large amount of
repair parts to put in order the several hundred meters that
we found in bad order at the beginning of the year 1923.
Due to the fact there is considerable property assessed
from $500.00 to $1,500.00, that pays a flat rate of $5.00 to
$10.00 per annum, and in view of the fact that our present
minimum rate for metered service is 90 cents per thousand
cubic feet, I recommend that in order to establish an equal
rate for this class of property within the corporate limits, a
minimum charge of 45 cents for the first 500 cubic feet and
nine cents per hundred cubic feet thereafter, be made.
IMPROVEMENTS
During the year 1923, we have made additional improve
ments in so far as laying 13,865 feet of pipe, (of this amount,
4,834 feet was six inches or larger) thereby extending the
distribution mains into new territory that was not previously
served and making a total mileage of mains now in service of
103.41 miles.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 267
We have placed fourteen new fire hydrants and have re
placed twenty-five of the old type single connection hydrants
with modern pumper connection hydrants, twenty-five new
valves and have made numerous connections with City mains.
Two hundred and ten new taps were placed, two hundred
fifty-five new meters were installed and have made improve
ments in the Meter Repair Room.
PLUMBING INSPECTIONS
Mr. T. H. Allen was in charge of the Plumbing Inspections
for the year. The position of Assistant Inspector was abolished
February 1, 1923 and Mr. Allen has handled efficiently the
inspections for the department without any assistance.

February 1, 1923, the Comptroller reported that there
were approximately 400 meters in bad order and the meter
bills on these meters were approximated each month. I found
the two meter readers who were charged with the duty of
reading 2400 meters monthly, were also required to make
necessary repairs to same. As this was an impossible feat for
two men to perform, I readily saw the reason for so many
meters out of order. A meter repair department was im
mediately organized and fitted in the sub-basement of the
City Hall, where two repairers and one helper were employed
to devote their entire time to repairing meters, thus relieving
the two meter readers from this duty in order that they could
devote their entire attention to meter reading.
The repair department was at first handicapped by lack
of tools and necessary parts for the rebuilding and putting
back into service the meters that were in bad order. On
account of the large number of different makes and types of
meters (we have meters in service made by thirteen different
manufacturers, some ofthem have three differenttypes of meters
of one size) it was necessary to carry parts for approximately
twenty different types of meters in order to keep up repairs.
Three-fourths of the meters now in service are of the best
type made, but we also have several cheaper grades in service
that have required considerable time in order to make neces
sary repairs to same during the past year. Our experience is
that the better grade meters will remain in service from five to
eight years without repairs, while the poorer grade must be
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 269
rebuilt every two or three years. Our cost of maintenance
could be cut approximately 50 per cent if the department had
adopted one of the better grade meters for a standard.
During the year, the repair department rebuilt twentyfour old meters that had been scrapped. These meters are
now in service and represent a saving of $350.00 to the depart
ment.
The testing bench has recently been equipped with an
attachment for testing meters larger than two inches. We
have thirty-eight meters of this size now in service that have
not been tested since they were installed. I am firm in my
belief that by testing these larger meters that the revenue from
this type will be considerably increased.
We have recently installed a new Mueller Tester scale
with improved percentage beam, which shows accurately the
percentage of error in meters. This is a valuable addition to
the equipment in the department. Last October, Mr. J. R.
Cowart was appointed Superintendent of Meter Service and
by his untiring efforts during the last three months, has
brought the repair department to where it is second to none.
In an effort to determine the performance of the various
types of meters in service, we were handicapped as there were
no records available of repairs made, and we found that the
only record of meters in service was that which was in the
Meter Clerk's books in the Comptroller's office. Upon check
ing these books, we found many errors regarding meters
actually in service. In the office of the Water Department we
now have a card index system, showing the name of the
manufacturer, number of meter, size, location and date of
installation. In addition to the above, the card shows the date
of repairs, cost of material and time for labor. This will enable
the department to determine which make of meter is giving
the best service and will also show the actual cost of mainten
ance.
270 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Last June, upon the recommendation of the Water
Department, Council authorized the purchase of 600 meters in
order to eliminate the large waste of water in the City. I
have made personal investigations of Meter Department
records of two neighboring cities, had conferences with the
Superintendents who attended the Annual Convention of the
American Water Works Convention at Detroit last May and
have also made a close study of the mechanism and workman
ship of the various makes of meters and after carefully con
sidering the matter, I recommended that the City purchase a
first grade meter, that would register correctly the water it
delivers and could be maintained at a low cost. The differ
ence in the first cost would be offset by the length of service it
will perform before needing repairs and the accuracy that
would be maintained.
The first lot of meters ordered by the City were purchased
from the lowest bidders and after several unsuccessful attempts
to meet the required tests, the order was cancelled. The next
lot of meters ordered have not been purchased as they have
thus far failed to meet the standards and requirements of the
Water Department. The City last year purchased about one
hundred and fifty meters from two of the standard meter
manufacturers and every one met the tests for accuracy as
required by this department. While the cost of these meters
are a little more than that of inferior ones, I still recommend
that the City purchase meters of this type, as they are cheaper
in the end.
During the last year we have reduced the cost of meter
boxes from $5.00 to $4.00 and we are furnishing standard
curb cock for $1.00, which formerly cost $2.00; making a
total saving to the property owner of $2.00 for this material
used in installing meters.

272 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
FIRE HYDRANT INSPECTIONS
According to records brought forward in previous annual
reports, the department had a total of 957 hydrants. I had
Mr. T. J. O'Brien, Hydrant Inspector, make a detailed
report on the number of hydrants, their location and type,
and we find there is a total of 1110 instead of 957.
All hydrants are oiled and flushed four times a year, thus
insuring this equipment to be in proper condition when called
in service by the Fire Department.
It is the present practice for parties to use fire hydrants
when desiring water for special work in the streets when
service connections are not available, and frequently a pipe
wrench or similar tool is used on the operating nut instead of
the regular wrench. By using these tools they render the
hydrant unfit for service by the Water Department.
I therefore recommend that an ordinance be passed
prohibiting the use of fire hydrants for any purpose whatso
ever unless a permit is obtained from the Superintendent of
Water Department. I further recommend that a regular
form for permit be drawn and that this ordinance be strictly
enforced in the future.

274 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
There are a number of 4 inch mains in our Distribution
System that should be replaced by larger mains for the good
of the service as they are now overloaded and cannnot furnish
adequate water for fire protection. I recommend that the
following 4 inch mains be removed during 1924:
York Street, Drayton to Whitaker.
Habersham Street, Oglethrope to Liberty
Hull Street, from Habersham to East Broad
State Street, Abercorn to East Broad.
Perry Street, from Habersham to East Broad.
The line on Habersham Street is very essential for the
protection of the Police Barracks and stables as at present
there are no adequate mains in this territory to handle a
large fire. The above has the approval of Chief Blanton also.
I further recommend that the following mains be laid
in 1924:

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 277
We have repk'-ed twenty-two of the old 3 inch McLean
hydrants of the single 2}4. inch nozzel type with the standard
4 inch hydrants of the double 2)4. inch nozzel and 4X inch
pumper nozzel. We still have, however, two hundred of the
old 3 inch McLean hydrants that should be replaced with
standard 4 inch hydrants as soon as possible.
During the year, we have removed three 4 inch Corey
hydrants from Broughton Street and replaced same with
5 inch Standard Matthew Hydrants. This was necessary on
account of the construction of the Corey Hydrant, which
corrodes with rust and is very hard to open. My intention is,
to remove all of these hydrants from Broughton Street and
throughly repair same and place them outside of the fire
district. We have had several requests from Chief Blanton of
the Fire Department asking this department to repair and
replace hydrants that are not giving his department satisfactory
service and we have endeavored to comply with his requests
as far as possible, as it is my desire that there be the closest
co-operation between the two departments.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 281
The amount of power consumed in operating the electric
pumps takes up a very large amount of our appropriation for
operating expenses, and this power bill for operating the
electric pumps when figured on a basis of the 1922 consump
tion would consume 50 per cent of the entire appropriation of
the $100,000.00 (represents the operating expenses made by
Council for the year 1923) and which was $35,000.00 less than
was spent for operating expenses for the department in 1922.
Considering these facts, I realized that it would be
necessary to make a substantial reduction in operating ex- .
penses in order to come within the appropriation made for the
year 1923, and I also had to consider the increased amount of
water to be pumped, due to natural growth of the City, with
calls for new connections each month.
. I found that the City Was paying a graduated scale on the
amount of current consumed on each individual pumping unit
although the seven pumps were pumping directly into the
distributing mains. My first efforts were to have the meter
readings consolidated on the seven pumps combined, so that
the City would get the benefit of the lowest rate of the scale on
the bulk of the power used. After conferring with the officials
of the Savannah Electric and Power Company relative to the
above, the power company agreed that commencing June 1923,
our meter readings would be consolidated on all pumps, and on
account of this consolidation, the power bill for June was
$528.00 less than it would have been under the old method.
While this was a good substantial savings on our power
bills, I still considered the cost for pumping water under our
present system was entirely too high, when compared with the
cost of pumping in other cities, that used steam instead of
electricity. Aside from the high cost of pumping with the
present equipment, there were several reasons why I consider
ed it necessary that the City should have another pumping
plant.
Every modern city has an auxilliary pumping unit tha t
will furnish adequate water in event the regular pumping unit
breaks down or is out of commission temporarily from any
282 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
cause. On a number of occasions, our present pumping equip
ment has been out of commission, this was due to various
causes, at times during storms, the individual pumps are
knocked out by lightning, or put out of service on account of
breakdowns. Occasionally the current on the power comp
any's lines goes off for a few minutes and this automatically
shuts down every one of our electric pumps, thus necessitat
ing a man going to each pump to put it in operation again.
On account of the above mentioned reasons, the Under
writers require that the City keep up steam on the old Gwinnett
Street Station, so that it could be called into service in event
the electric pumps should fail during a fire. In its present
condition the Gwinnett Street Station is not capable of furnish
ing adequate water for the City under normal conditions. At
the time this plant was abondoned, the wells were averaging
one and one-quarter million gallons per twenty-four hours,
and at the present the old conduit only has seven wells con
nected to it, giving a peak maximum capacity of ten million
gallons per twenty-four hours. While the normal consump
tion is ten and one-half million gallons per twenty-four hours.
The old pumps are capable of delivering a maximum of nine
million gallons. The maximum consumption during freezing
weather and large fires reaches as high as fourteen million
gallons per day. The point is that our auxilliary.equipment
at the Gwinnett Street Station is not adequate to supply the
necessary water for the City should our electric pumps go
out of service.
Having this in view as well as the exceptionally high cost
of pumping I secured data on new pumping equipment for the
Gwinnett Street Station. The first thing to be considered
was the elimination of the old six foot brick conduit that was
used to convey the water from the wells on Stiles Avenue to
the pumping house. This conduit was condemned several
years ago on account of seepage of surface water through the
seams that had opened up. My proposed plans are to
lay a water tight cast iron pipe inside of the brick conduit
connecting it to each of the wells on the line. This would in-
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 283
sure perfectly pure water to the pumps in the pump house by
eliminating the troubles that were experienced in the past with
this pumping station as the wells have the same artesian water
that the wells in the center of the City have. In fact, two of
our present electric pumps are placed over the wells formerly
connected to the old conduit and are now being used daily to
pump water into our distribution system.
It would cost approximately $25,000.00 to lay a cast iron
pipe inside of the old conduit and I recommend that this
should be done immediately, even though the old pumping
equipment is used, on account of the fact that it is now nec
essary to use chlorine gas in the water whenever the pumps at
Gwinnett Street Station are operated.
While I am glad to report that it was not necessary to use
the Gwinnett Street Station pump a single time during 1923,
but it was more a case of luck than anything else. On several
occasions it was necessary to run our last reserve electric pump
and had an accident happened to any of them, we would have
had to run the Gwinnett Street Station pumps.
In addition to the cost of the new cast iron conduit we
need approximately $105,000.00 to purchase new pumping
equipment for the Gwinnett Street Station. For the above
mentioned amount we could replace the old air lift equipment
with an individual motor driven centrifugal pump over each
well, to pump the water out of the wells into the conduit and
installed a steam turbine generator that would furnish power
to run the motors on pumps over the wells. And a steam tur
bine pump with a maximum capacity of fourteen million
gallons per twenty-four hours and a modern high pressure
boiler with all necessary equipment to put the new plant in
operation including cost of installation. This equipment will
furnish seventy pounds per square inch on our mains, while
our present working pressure is fifty pounds.
With our present electric pumps it costs $14.60 per million
gallons to pump our water at a fifty pound pressure and with
the proposed steam turbine it will cost $4.80 per million gallons
to pump our water at a seventy pound pressure. With the
284 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
steam turbine equipment, I can save the Water Department at
least $25,000.00 per year on operating expenses and at the
same time give twenty pounds more pressure for fire fighting
or any other purpose.
My plan is to use the new steam turbine pump at the Gwin
nett Street Station asthe regular pumping unit and keep the pre
sent electric pumps for the emergency units. In figuring the
cost of pumping for the proposed plant, we have set aside
$768.00 monthly to care for the demand charge made by the
power company to stand by in case the electric pumps are
needed, and this amount is included in the $4.80 mentioned
above.
This new equipment would not only save the City
$25,000.00 on operating expenses but would give the Water
Department two separate pumping units with adequate
equipment to furnish all the water needed under maximum
demands, while at present we only have one such unit.
As I have previously mentioned, we have numerous
small mains and a number of obsolete single connection fire
hydrants. It was recently demonstrated at a large fire that
these mains and hydrants are inadequate to give sufficient
water for the demands of the Fire Department. Such mains
and hydrants are scattered throughout the City.
There are sections of the City where it would be necessary
for the Fire Department to lay from one to two thousand feet
of hose in order to reach the nearest fire hydrant.
There are several sections within the corporate limits that
at the present time have developed to the point where it is
absolutely necessary that the water mains be extended into
these streets in order to furnish adequate water for domestic
as well as fire purposes.
It has been the policy in the past that all revenue above
operating expenses for the AVater Department with minor
exceptions has been turned into the City Treasurer to be used
for general purposes, instead of setting aside sufficient amounts
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 285
to make necessary extensions in the distribution system, and to
replace obsolete equipment.
Realizing that the present revenue of the City is not
sufficient to give to the Water Department the money to make
the necessary improvements mentioned above that are so
essential to the welfare and prosperity of our City, I therefore
recommend that a bond issue of $200,000.00 be floated. With
this, we can lay the necessary mains, remove the obsolete
mains and hydrants and install the new pumping equipment at
Gwinnett Street Station.
As mentioned above, with the new pumping equipment,
we can save a minimum of $25,000.00 annually from the pre
sent operating expenses. This saving on the operating ex
penses will pay the interest and redeem the entire $200,000.00
issue in ten years.
By doing this, it will not increase taxes, or take from the
City any part of its present revenue, but on the other hand will
give to the City all of these improvements with all benefits
that will be derived therefrom including a possible reduction in
fire insurance rates.
BUILDING AND GROUNDS
The roof over the pump house at the Gwinnett Street
Station has deteriorated to the point where it is beyond repairs,
and I therfore recommend that a new roof be placed over the
building to protect the equipment housed within.
The fire room is in good condition, with the exception of a
few window panes that are broken.
The grounds are in excellent condition and we have made
such efforts as were possible with our limited forces to clear the
shrubbery and replant the flowers.
PUMPS, COMPRESSORS AND BOILERS
The pumps, compressors and boilers are in fair condition.
It has not been necessary to use any of this equipment during
the year 1923.
286 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
THE EMPLOYEES
The success of the department during the past year and
the wonderful record that it has made, is to be attributed to
the efficiency and loyalty of the employees, who by their un
selfish devotion to their duties have assisted me in making this
the banner year of the Water Department in the history of the
City of Savannah, and I take this opportunity to thank each
and every one of them.
In conclusion, allow me to express my sincere thanks to
your Honor, and to the Honorable J. C. Slater, Chairman of
the Committee on Water, who has devoted so much of his
personal efforts to assist me in my work, and to the members
of the Water Committee for their advice and assistance during
the past year.
Respectfully,
JOHN G. VALENTINO,
Superintendent Water Works.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 289
REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
I respectfully submit herewith a report upon the operation
of the various departments under my charge for the fiscal year
ending December 31st, 1923.
CLEANING PAVED STREETS
This department is charged with the duty of cleaning all
paved and unpaved streets and lanes within the City Limits.
It has also undertaken the care of the Military Parade Grounds
known as Park Extension.
Early in the year an aggressive campaign was launched
for the purpose of awakening civic pride among the citizens and
enlisting their co-operation in keeping our streets and lanes
free from paper and other trash. The campaign was doubtless
productive of some good general results but we find that the
most persistent offenders are employees of various commercial
houses who carelessly place trash and other light refuse in the
lanes and from there it is blown into the streets. This situation
is being rigidly dealt with while many large wooden boxes have
been advantageously placed as a convenience to our merchants
in properly disposing of such refuse. A census of the entire
City was made and all boxes found in bad condition have been
repaired and covers placed thereon.
A gang of twelve men is constantly engaged in cleaning
sheet asphalt streets while five carts are kept busy hauling
away the debris swept up. Our other paved streets surfaced
with block asphalt, vitrified brick, grantie block, cobble stone
and concrete are cared for by three other gangs consisting of
approximately ten men each. In addition to the above we
operate on paved streets one mule drawn sprinkler, one mule
drawn sweeper, two combination gasoline driven sweepers and
one combination gutter sweeper. fThis equipment is at the
present time utilized during the early morning hours. Appro
ximately 25,500 cart loads of debris have been removed from
paved streets during the past year.

292 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
UNPAVED STREETS AND LANES
Savannah has a very large area of unpaved streets and
lanes, approximate!}' 127 miles. These streets and lanes are
regularly raked and cleaned. A large force has been kept on
this work all during the year and have penetrated many parts
of the City that were formerly neglected. Approximately
10,800 loads of refuse has been collected and disposed of.
There are 92.07 miles of unpaved streets and 37.23 miles of
unpaved lanes.
The cost of operating this department was $21,852.66.
WEEDS
Each year this department is faced with a serious problem
in keeping down and removing the growth of weeds that spring
up in streets, sidewalks and vacant lots, particularly in the
outlying districts. We feel, however, that notwithstanding the
lack of adequate equipment, excellent results have been
accomplished and we expect by next spring to apply a plan
that will be even more satisfactory. Whenever possible the
cost of cutting weeds has been collected from the property
owner. The net cost to the City for the work was $1,603.54.
DRY CULTURE
The duties of this department consists in cleaning and
maintaining canals and ditches located on the outskirts of the
City, also care of flood gates and trunks constructed for the
purpose of controlling the ebb and flow of the tide in and out
of the canals and water from adjoining lowlands is hereby
drained.
This work is most urgent during the hot summer months
from a sanitary point of view, and to prevent mosquito breed
ing and at this time a large force is kept at work in this depart
ment.
There are at present approximately twenty-two miles of
canals and ditches from which immense quantities of vegetable
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 293
growth has been removed. There are five flood gates on the
east side and four on the west side.
We expended $9,491.93 in keeping these canals and ditches
clear of refuse.
CROSSINGS
There are approximately three hundred and twenty-five
street crossings constructed of brick, cobble stone or other
hard material which are located at the intersection of unpaved
streets. The cost of sweeping and maintenance, together
with cost of twenty-five new crossings constructed during the
past year, amounted to $1,954.87.
CATCH BASINS
On December 31, 1921, there were 1884 catch basins in the
City and twenty-one have been installed this year. Three
gangs of two men each, with three drivers, were formely
employed in cleaning these catch basins but recently by in
stallation of a more efficient system, the number employed in
this department has been reduced to two foremen with two
drivers each, the drivers also act as helpers.
There were 26,076 catch basins cleaned during the year
and approximately 3588 cart loads of dirt have been removed
and used to fill in low places in and about the City.
I find no accurate record of the number and location of '
catch basins but plan to have a careful inventory made as
early as practical during the coming year. The cost of the
above was $1,496.74.
GARBAGE COLLECTION
The duty of this department is to collect and dispose of all
garbage. We have engaged in this work, 3 paper wagons,
1 Nash Truck, 2 Packard Trucks, 13 Single mule carts and
35 double team wagons.
Garbage and refuse of all discription, except building
material or debris from old buildings, is collected by this
f
294 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
department and carried to a loading platform on the north
eastern limits of the City. It is there loaded in specially
constructed cars of the Central of Georgia Railway and con
veyed to the dumping grounds at Deptford.
For a few months a contract was let to the Seaboard
Bagging and Tie Company for unloading and distributing the
garbage at Deptford at a cost to the City of $250.00 per
month, it was found, however, that the Seaboard Bagging and
Tie Company was not satisfactorily fulfilling its contract and
this department was compelled to perform this work with its
own force. The rack, the crane and many of the special cars
were found to be in very bad condition, this has all been
remedied, now all equipment is in fairly good condition.
During the year 927 cars of garbage have been hauled to Dept
ford, each car has a capacity of approximately thirty tons.
The present system is not entirely satisfactory and investi
gations are now being made with a view to replacing this
department on a more efficient and economical basis.
The total cost of collecting and disposing of garbage,
including repair and upkeep of equipment amounted to
$24,055.79.
SIDEWALKS
This department is maintained for the purpose of repair
ing sidewalks that have become worn out or broken from
various causes. Where the broken sidewalk is caused from
tree roots this department bears the expenses of repair, other
wise the actual cost of labor and material is charged to the
owner of the abutting property.
During the year 371 places have been repaired and 71,153
vitrified brick, 1000 Belgium blocks and 330 sacks of cement
were used; wood curbing was repaired or laid at 88 locations
using 6608 feet of curbing.
This department has made repairs to paved streets opened
by Plumbers, Telephone and Telegraph companies, etc., at
243 locations; for Park and Tree Commission at 57 locations;
and for other City Departments at 41 locations. We have also
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 295
lowered curbing at 56 locations for property owners and have
laid 293 feet of granite curb by request of owners and at their
expense. The net cost of this work was $4,408.52
STORM SEWERS
The following extensions to the Storm Sewer system have
been made during the past year:
Ash Street48th to 47th Street...... 231 feet
48th StreetCedar to Ash 605 "
31 StreetEast from Paulsen (12 inch) 250 "
Park AvenueWest from Live Oak (12 inch) 300 "
Military CampA. C. L. Yards 268 "
Gwinnett Street- Magazine to Butler 1000 "
Repairs have been made at 84 locations and 276 stoppages
have been cleared. The principal cause of stoppage is due to
deterioration in old lines; much trouble is also caused by sand
being washed in through the catch basins. In some localities
this evil has become a serious problem, for instance in one case
we found a thirty-six inch line completely filled with sand and
the cost of cleaning this line amounted to several thousand
dollars. By carefully watching such places we are now able to
keep them clear but conditions are such in thislocality thatthe
expense of keeping this line clear will always be excessive. The
causes of this difficulty are various, in the first place adjacent
streets are of fine sand that does not readily settle in the
catch basins; there are also many open joints through which
sand drifts into the line which condition cannot be remedied
except at a very great expense. The sewer in question is used
for both sanitary and storm drainage.
We have also experienced considerable trouble from
grease and sand passing into sewers from auto garages; stop
page from this cause has been recently kept at a minimum by
keeping close watch on storm and house drainage sewers
taking waste from such places.
296 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Attention is particularly called to the sewer line in
Drayton Street which was constructed in 1868 of brick and
mortar; in several places this sewer has caved in and it is only
by carefully watching surface evidence that serious accidents
are prevented.
Cost of maintenance and clearing $5,365.00.
SANITARY SEWERS
New Sanitary Sewers constructed during the past year
are shown in the following list:
Henry Street LaneEast from Cedar... 500 feet
45th LaneHopkins to Burroughs 2050 "
46th LaneHopkins to Burroughs 1600 "
Gwinnett Street LaneAtlantic to Haines 433 "

39th StreetDeRenne Canal to East of Cedar 570 "
Duffy LaneEast of Cedar 100 "
49th LaneWest of Battery ,. 350 "
In addition to this, repairs have been made at 96 locations
and 576 stoppages have been cleared. A large percentage of
sewer stoppages are caused by foreign substances such as old
clothing, parts of iron castings, bottles, tree roots, etc. There
is no excuse for such articles being thrown into the sewer and
in many cases it is inconceivable how they could pass the
connecting private pipes.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 297
Your attention is called to the sewer in New Street which
was laid on saddle piling due to shifting sand in this locality;
this street has been paved with Belgium Block and heavy
traffic has caused settling with consequent damage to the sewer
line. Five repairs have been made this year and trouble can be
constantly expected in the future. Repairs to this line are
made more difficult and expensive because of a storm sewer
which is laid above and slightly north of the line in question.
Cost of maintenance and clearing $7,724.15.

In addition to the above the Savannah Electric and
Power Company claim to have installed two arc lights, on
July 1, 1922 at 42nd and Barnard and at Park Avenue and
Montgomery for which, through error, no charge has been
made, this is being investigated and if found correct it will
increase the total arc to 957.
CITY STABLES AND SHOPS
This department is maintained for the purpose of caring
for all live stock used in the Department of Public Works, also
for repairing automobiles, trucks, carts, wagons and other
equipment. We are called upon from time to time to do work
for other City departments.
Upon assuming office, I found practically all of our equip
ment in a very badly run down condition which necessitated
an unusual outlay of funds to correct. An accurate record is
kept of all material purchased and no material can be used or
taken away from the City Lot without authority from the
Superintendent. A system of daily reports from Shop Foreman
is required, whereby accurate records of costsis kept and charged
to the various departments.
Early in the year the matter of fire insurance was investi
gated, all buildings were re-valued and a new schedule was
written, giving us a much broader coverage at a reduced cost.
In the interests of efficient operation several additions have
been made to our equipment at a moderate cost. In the car
penter shop we have installed a Reciprocating Power Mortis
ing Machine which enables us to cut mortises for a wagon in
about thirty minutes, whereas formerly it required the time of
one carpenter twelve hours to do the same work. We also have
installed a separate motor to operate the forges; this effects a
considerable saving as the forge fan is required to run all day
and to do so under the old method necessitated running
all machinery in the carpenter shop.
A patented mule stock is now used in shoeing unruly
animals and has been a great protection to horse shoers, it has
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 301
also been a means of protecting the live stock from being
bruised and exhausted as was often the case when using the
home made stock.
We have purchased one Winther truck and one Nash
truck, both are being used to advantage and cost $1300.00.
We consider these trucks are worth fully $4000.00.
During the year we hauled and disposed of dead animals
as follows: Horses 201; Mules 76, Cows 46, Hogs 8, Goats 1.
AVe have built and placed 56 new wooden boxes for con
venience of waste paper;, inumerable others have been re
paired and put in good condition.
During the year we have condemned and sold nineteen
head of stock and have purchased twenty-nine. Two have
been lost by death. Upon taking charge we found practically
all the live stock in a badly run down condition probably due
to being underfed. This has been remedied, as well balanced
ration and ample food is being provided and we consider that
our live stock is now in first class condition.
A complete inventory has been submitted to the Comp
troller and includes many items that were on hand last year
but which were not included in the inventory submitted at
that time.
Many other improvements have been made and I con
sider that the department is operating efficiently and satis
factorily.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 303
REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER
Hon. PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor,
City Hall,
Savannah, Ga.
Sir:
I beg to submit the following as my Annual Report cover
ing the operations of the City Engineer's Office for the year
ending December 31, 1923.
While there have been no extraordinary public improve
ments made during the past year requiring the services of this
office there has been the usual increase 'in the volume of
routine work due to the City's growth. The office has also co
operated with the other City Departments furnishing them
information and advice in matters of an engineering nature.
At the request of the Chairman of the Market Committee
a study was made and plans and specifications drawn for
proposed improvements at the City Market, these plans
covered the installation of a suitable refrigeration plant for the
meat dealers, eliminating the present privately owned ice boxes
and also establishing new and sanitary tables or counters for
serving meats and vegetables to the public. $30,000.00 has
been appropriated by Council for this purpose, and an adver
tisement for bids authorized. Bids will be received the early
part of next year.
At the request of the Police Department plans and
specifications were drawn for the construction of a stable at the
south end of the Barracks Yard, this stable has been completed
under the supervision of this office and cost $5,003.87. Plans
were also prepared for remodelling the third floor of the Police
Barracks main building (for the accomodation of white women
prisoners). This much needed improvement has been com
pleted at a cost of $2,277.50. Plans have also been drawn at
the request of the Police Department for a Police Sub-Station
to be located in the small park at Bull and 42nd Streets. This
304 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
building will be built of old granite paving blocks and will be both
a useful and ornamental structure for this section of the City.
The cost is estimated at $2,500.00.
Specifications were drawn for the Harbor and Wharves
Committee for repairing the Municipal Docks extending from
the east side of Abercorn Street to the west side of Lot No. 9
Wharf Lots, west of Bull Street, a distance of about eight
hundred and twenty feet (820'). The wharf west of Bull
Street was entirely rebuilt, the wharf deck from Bull to Dray
ton repaired and the wharf from Drayton to Abercorn prac
tically rebuilt, the entire work costing $5,599.64.
For the Streets and Lanes Committee plans are being
made for improving drainage conditions over the entire City,
the making of these plans calls for a topographic map of the
City and a design covering the installation of several miles of
large storm sewers and a number of sanitary sewers at a cost
that will probably require a bond issue. With reference to the
necessity for these sewers I will cite a condition existing in the
southeastern section of the City. An open ditch extends from
Hill Crest Cemetery on the Skidway Road southwardly,
enters the corporate limits at 33rd and Ash Streets and extends
south within the City Limits to Daffin Park. This ditch is the
outlet for about five hundred acres of storm water drainage and
a considerable amount of sanitary sewage and should be con
verted into a closed sewer, otherwise it will soon become a
public nusiance and arrest the development of the section it
traverses.
On the west side a somewhat similar condition exists and
there are a number of places, too numerous to mention here,
within the built up parts of the City where floods occur during
very heavy rain and where relief sewers are therefore needed.
Also the lack of sanitary sewers in parts of the City retards the
growth of these parts.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 305
CITY PLANNING AND ZONING
Throughout this country progressive cities of all sizes are
awakening to the fact that in order to safeguard their future
economic development, effectively regulate traffic, stabalize
property values and provide resident districts where its
citizens can dwell in comfort with pleasant and healthful
surroundings a systematic and comprehensive plan must be
made for the orderly extension and re-arrangement of its
streets and avenues, giving access to its business and industrial
centers and also the setting aside of certain districts to their
appropriate use, with reference to industry, business, or
residence; the former comes under the head of City Planning,
the latter under Zoning.
I would therefore suggest that Council as soon as practic
able take such action as will provide for such comprehensive
planning and zoning for the City.
OPENING STREETS
During the year a small amount of property was acquired
for the purpose of opening streets. Forty-fourth St. was opened
from Montgomery to West Broad by purchase of property from
John M. Thomas, et al. Also a resolution was passed for the
purchase of lots from the Hamilton Estate for opening 43rd
Street from Montgomery towards West Broad, the rest of the
land required to complete the opening of the street to West
Broad owned by P. D. Daffin is now the subject of negotiations
between Mr. Daffin and the City but no agreement has yet
been reached.
The matter of opening streets does not receive the atten
tion that its importance deserves, there are a number of places
in the City where the growth of a considerable section is held
up and in some instances the health of a neighborhood is
jeopardi/ied because sewers cannot be laid for lack of streets or
lanes to lay them in. Each year a definite program should be
mapped out by the Committee on Opening Streets and an
s-n
306 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
estimated amount set aside in the budget for carrying out the
plans of the Committe. In this way if the City will stop the
method frequently practiced in the past of paying for the land
set apart for streets through tracts of land sub-divided for sell
ing off in building lots, such streets being a necessary part of
the subdivision and worth more to the owner as City's streets
than as land. A large sum will not be needed for the purchase
of streets. In other words streets should be paid for only when
the land owner suffers loss or damage by the City taking
property for street purposes. An Act of the Legislature of
1924 provides the way to acquire such streets without cost to
the City.
CITY MAP
The City Map now in use was made in 1910 and is there
fore considerably out of date, many subdivisions and streets
opened since 1910 do not appear on the map and there have
been three city extentions, a part of these beyond the limits
of the present map.
In view of the above, provision should be made for the
drafting of a new City Map during the coming year.

During the past year street paving amounting to 50,334
square yards was laid with a length of 2.43 miles. The whole
or parts of eleven streets were paved, the material used being
sheet asphalt 18,746 square yards; plain concrete 30,854 square
yards and brick 734 square yards.
As in the case of opening Streets cited above, in order to
obtain the best results in the way of street improvements, a
thoroughly considered paving program should be devised by
the Committee on Streets and Lanes and the requisite amount
provided in the budget for the ensuing year and in order to
cheapen the cost of paving and at the same time improve its
quality I would suggest that the City provide itself with paving
equipment and do its paving with its own forces.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 307
While on the subject of street paving I desire to invite
your attention to the two paving laws now in force. The law
of 1887 provides that the City pay one-third the total cost and
in addition pay for its frontage for street intersections or other
City property, this is relatively too much for the City to pay
and the City being unable on this account to finance a large
amount of paving very little is done under this law. On the
other hand the law passed in 1919 and known as the Oklahoma
Law imposes most of the burden on the abutting property. For
this reason paving under this law is not popular with property
owners and as they by law hold in their hands the decision
whether to pave or not, but little paving is done under this law.
Between the two the City, which is at this time only one-third
paved, will be an indefinite time becoming a paved City.
A law should be enacted providing at least an approx
imately equitable distribution of the cost of paving between
the parties at interest and thus encourage rather than obstruct
street improvements.
A detailed statement of work done during the year is
hereto attached.
Very respectfully,
W. O'D. ROCKWELL,
City Engineer.
December 31, 1923.

ing determination by the Appellate Courts on exceptions
taken to the overruling of demurrers, or are awaiting decision
of the trial court on demurrers, all of which have been filed
and argued.
Among the miscellaneous matters of a legal nature were
the usual certioraries from the Recorder's Court, in most of
which instances the judgment of the Recorder has been upheld.
Under this head can be included the drawing of contracts,
leases, resolutions, ordinances, new traffic regulations and
rules for the conduct of the Fire Department, and other
matters necessary and needed in the conduct of the admini
stration of the City and of its various departments.
Among other interesting matters which may be noted
are:
1. The title of the Military Parade Ground, a subject
matter of long disagreement, has been disposed of by ordinance
334 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
in which the City recognizes the claims of the Military to this
ground.
2. The drafting of a new charter for a commission
manager form of government, passage of which was not
accomplished at the last session of the Legislature.
3. The adjustment with the County of the City's
proportion of payments to be made for the upkeep of the
prison farm and the clearing up of the right of the Recorder to
sentence prisoners to work at and about the police barracks,
as part of the public work of the City.
The last published ordinances are contained in a supple
mental publication to the Code of 1918 terminating, however,
on January 1st, 1922, and it is suggested that either a new code
be had or that a new supplement be published listing the
ordinances to date. Since the publication of the Code, in
numerable changes have been made both by way of amend
ment and repeal, or in the passage of ordinances upon subjects
not heretofore covered, and as a consequence much time is
lost and labor expended to ascertain the existing laws of the
City.
In conclusion, it is my pleasure to report the most thor
ough co-operation of all departments and their very valuable
assistance to the somewhat crowded and heavy work of the
legal department.
Respectfully submitted,
F. P. McINTIRE,
City Attorney.
December 31, 1923.

REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER
HON. PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor,
Savannah, Ga.
Sir:
During the year ending December 31st, 1923, the follow
ing improvements were made to the City and private owned
wharves in this harbor:
The City of Savannah spent $6,000.00 on repairing and
putting in new bulk heads at the Municipal Dock, at the foot
of Bull, Drayton and Abercorn Streets. New water lines have
been put in on these docks. The U. S. S. Revenue Cutter '
Yamacraw was given a permanent berth at the Municipal
Dock as well as the U. S. Engineers Yacht, Isondega. Drink
ing hydrants have been installed for the use of water front
laborers. The report of the United States District Engineer
shows that there is 26 feet of water at M. L. W., in the Channel
from City to Sea.
The Gulf Refining Company has spent a considerable sum
of money in a ten months dredging program to maintain a 32
foot depth in their slip on Hutchinson Island. This company
is also erecting bulkhead to prevent tidal currents impairing
the foundation of the wharf.
The Standard Oil Company has dredged during the past
year on several occasions to maintain a depth of 26 feet of
water at M. L. W. Their docks have been kept in good repair.
The Texas Oil Company have spent in the past year in
the neighborhood of $60,000 in dredging and enlarging their
dock and now have 200 feet of dock with 30 feet of water at
M. L. W. This company also announces that they now have a
barge in the river for delivering oils to ship sides and to local
concerns.
336 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT _'
The Seaboard Air Line Railway Co. spent $72,809.24 for
the maintenance of its Hutchinson Island Terminal during the
calendar year, 1923. This figure does not include dredging as
none was done this year, however, during this year $20,492.91
was spent in maintaining a depth of 25 feet at M. L. W. in
redredging the slips in their terminals.
The Central of Georgia Railway Company expended at
Savannah during the first ten months of 1923 $64,636.28 in
the maintenance of docks, wharves and warehouses on water
front terminals. No money was spent on dredging their
terminals in 1923 due to the fact that $46,470 was spent in
dredging in 1922, the work ending in December.
The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co. installed at their
terminals lightning arresters on the fire protection pump at a
cost of $700 and the cotton warehouses were enclosed at a cost
of $2,186. The channel in front of these terminals was dredged
so as to give a depth of 25 feet of water at M. L. W. up to the
face of the dock, the cost of this work amounting to $16,200.
The greatest part of the wharf has been rebuilt at a cost of
$75,000.
The Harbor Master attended, in October, a convention of
the Anti-Pollution League, in Atlantic City and was elected
State Vice President of this League.
Due to the resignation of Mr. J. F. C. Myers as a member
of the Board of Harbor Commissioners, Mr. Emmet Wilson
was appointed on this Board by Gov. Clifford Walker.
The largest ship to enter the port during the year was 516
feet long with a 68 foot beam. The deepest draft was 30 feet
4 inches entering and 29 feet 11 inches clearing. The largest
net tons for any one ship was 7833.
It is recommended by the Harbor Master, that the City
call for bids on the dredging of the Municipal Dock. There is
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 337
about 14 feet of water at this dock and there should be at least
20 feet at M. L. W. according to my opinion.
Our last years report shows that a total of 1037 ships
entered this port with a total net tonnage of 2,882,656. This
of course includes the M. & M. T. Company's ships as well as
the Ocean Steamship Co., but does not include the Inland
steamers and small craft plying local waters. The report for
the year 1922 shows that 949 ships entered with a total ton
nage of 2,539,607, this gives the year 1923 an increase of 88
ships with an increased net tonnage of 343,049 over the year
of 1922.
Respectfully submitted,
EASTER C. DANIELS,
Harbor Master.
Port Warden.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 341
REPORT OF BOARD OF TAX ASSESSORS
HON. PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor,
Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:
We have the honor to submit herewith a report for the
year 1923.
Real Estate values $52,305,732.00
Personal Property values. $ 21,525,223.00$73,830,955.00
Both real estate and personal property values show
decreases from those of 1922.
The loss in real estate values is because of a re-assessment
of certain sections of the City in which, in the opinion of the
Board, values were too high.
The decrease in personal property values is principally
in returns from banks, these returns having formerly been
received on a basis much higher than that for other classes
and this having been equitably adjusted.
Much work has been done in the office during the year,
good results therefrom being expected for the year 1924.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD F. LOVELL,
Chairman.
December, 31, 1923.
342 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF BUILDING INSPECTOR
To the HONORABLE MAYOR and ALDERMEN,
of City of Savannah, Georgia.
Gentlemen:
I have the honor to hand you herewith the report of the
Building Department for the year 1923, and to submit a few
recommendations tending to improvement in the work of the
department, and for the betterment of the City in general,
which I trust will receive your most earnest and prompt con
sideration.
In July 1922, a new Building Code, adopted by a former
administration, became effective, and to a considerable extent
revolutionized the then existing custom of building construct
ion in this City, and enlarged many fold the duties of the
officials of this department, but Council has failed to supply
the necessary equipment, and sufficient force to meet the
requirements of the Code. The Code had been in effect now
eighteen months, and the experimental stage has passed, many
objections have been made to its working which did not appear
at the time of its adoption, many new materials have appeared
and conditions have changed, making necessary a revision of
the Code. I, therefore, recommend that a committee be ap
pointed to take this matter up for consideration, and that
sufficient help to properly perform the duties of the department
be provided. In this connection, I would advise that as plumb
ing is an integral part, and not an appendage, of every build
ing, and for the purpose of closer co-operation, the Plumbing
Inspector be transferred from the Water Department, to the
Department of Buildings.
Second:Many citizens applying for permits to build are
unable to give the street number of their lots, and at com
pletion of the building, place such number upon them as they
may themselves select, and too often the wrong number is used
thus causing confusion and trouble to themselves and others
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 343
who build later. Again, when an owner converts a single
residence into apartments, he often finds that the numbers
that should belong to his property has been used by his neigh
bors. I would, therefore, recommend that the city map in the
office of the City Engineer be marked with the street number
of each lot (allowing two numbers for each lot) and that when
the Engineer surveys a lot, or gives street lines, he be required
to furnish the owner with the proper street number, or numbers
of said lot.
Third:Many of the streets of the City are without name
signs, and are difficult to find, consequently, several are known
by two or more different names. I would recommend that
steps be taken to have all streets of the'City properly posted
with their namesespecially in the outlying sections.
Fourth:Just beyond the incorporate limits of this City
there are several Real Estate Developments and Villages which
are enjoying the same privileges of water, police and fire pro
tection, etc., as those within the limits, and in which area there
are several hundred buildings constructed, or being construct
ed under no restrictions whatsoever, and in each and every
case the builder is a law unto himself, and from this construct
ion the City derives no credit whatsoever. I would recommend
that immediate action be taken to bring these areas within the
incorporate limits of the City; so that Savannah be given credit
for this construction and population.
Fifth:The building industry is recognized as the largest
and most important unit of all industries in the country, and
yet too often construction of buildings is placed in the hands
of the persons absolutely incompetent to perform the service.
The following resolution unanimously adopted at a recent
meeting of the "National Building Officials Conference" is
heartily approved and I recommend it for your earliest con
sideration.
344 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
"Resolved, that it is the sense of the Building Officials'
Conference that for the better protection of the public against
unsafe and illegal building construction, suitable legislation
should be enacted by which building operations shall be
restricted to architects, engineers, builders, superintendents of
construction, or others who have by proper evidence shown
their ability or capacity for undertaking such building opera
tions, and on whom individual responsibihty for the safe
prosecution of the work, and a compliance of the laws relating
to buildings can be placed; and
Resolved further, that the Secretary of this organization
be directed to fbrnish, at the request of any member, copies of
this resolution for presentation to legislative bodies in support
of such legislation."
Sixth:For the purpose of ending the haphazard con
struction of buildings which so often destroys the beauty of a
neighborhood, and for protection of existing communities, I
respectfully urge your very early action upon the proposed
Zoning Ordinance.

For the better purpose of showing the work done by the

the year of $57,730.85, being an increase of $8,010.26 over 1922.

Without intending by the foregoing, to minimize the
work of previous Marshals, I beg to submit that it is with
much satisfaction that I am able to present these most favor
able comparisons.
During 1922, the sum of $170,436.21 was the largest
amount that was ever handled through this office. The year
1923 shows the sum of $169,228.40, there being the slight
difference of $1,207.81 in favor of 1922; but when you take
into consideration that in this amount for 1922, there is in
cluded the sum of $12,525.00 for property sold by the City,
and paid through this office, you will readily see, that in point
of fact, the collections for the regular standing accounts, as
shown above, exceed that of 1922, by $10,538.72; you will note
from this showing that the office force has been on the job, and
I take pleasure in thanking them for their hearty co-operation
in making these results possible; in furtherance of my appreci
ation, I would recommend to your consideration, some recog
nition looking to an increase in their wage, for without their
forceful and energetic work, these results could never have
been reached.
To show the increased work in this department I beg to
state that in 1919, the receipts totaled $60,857.78, while 1923
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 351
amounted to $169,228.40; that practically the office force
remains the samein view of this increased work, I would
again recommend an increase in salariesa satisfied mind
makes for efficiency.
In closing this report, I desire to express my sincere
thanks and appreciation to His Honor, The Mayor, the City
Attorney, and other departments of the City Government, for
advice, assistance, and co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT F. DOWNING,

Decrease 1923 against 1922 $ 9,291.50
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 353
This decrease of $9,291.50 is explained in the following
manner:
In December 1922, Council authorized a 45% reduction
in Vaults and Stalls Rent for the year 1923, this reduction has
caused a decrease in revenue for 1923, in the amount of
$11,240.00, in other words had there been no reductions in
rents for 1923 the increase over 1922 would have been $1,948.50
I also wish to invite your attention to the fact that in the
year 1922, the Clerk of the Market collected fees on Country
Meats and turned it in through the huckster's fees, (which the
present Clerk did not do in the year 1923) and this will account
for the apparent loss in these collections from the best avail
able figures amounting to about $4,000.00, obtained from the
Health Department through which the amount of cattle and
hogs which were inspected was reported.
Following, please find a comparative statement for the
year 1922 and 1923.
1922 1923
Hucksters fees $9,778.85 $ 6,946.65
Less fees collected on Country Meats 4,000.00 5,778.85
$5,778.85 $1,167.80
Showing an increase for 1923, of $1,167.80 or 20.21%.
You will readily see if there had been no reduction in stall
rents and I had collected on Country Meats in 1923 as the
Clerk did in 1922, my report would have shown at least a
total collection of $40,121.65, against the collection of 1922,
$37,005.35, and would show a total increase for 1923 of
$3,116.30.
I respectfully recommend that there be a new roof put on
the Market as the old one is in such condition it is beyond
repair.
In conclusion, I wish to thank Dr. Herman W. Hesse the
Chairman of the Market Committee for his hearty co-operation

OF THE
CITY OF SAVANNAH
SAVANNAH, GA.
1923

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 357
REPORT OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
Honorable PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor,
Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:^
I transmit herewith report of Librarian covering in detail
the operations of the Savannah Public Library for the year
1923.
Very truly yours,
ANTON P. WRIGHT,
Chairman Board of Managers.
January 1, 1924.
358 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
To the Board of Managers,
Savannah Public Library
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am pleased to be able to report an increase of more than
10 per cent, in the use of the library in 1923, over its use in
1922. The number of books borrowed during the year was
174,479. Six years have now passed since the library's first
complete year (1917) under the present management. In
these six years the use of the library, as represented by the
number of books borrowed, has increased more than 52.5 per
cent.
Considered superficially, these figures sound satisfactory.
Yet the increases have averaged something less than 10 per
cent, a year. An average annual increase of 10 per cent, is not
far from what might reasonably be expected as a normal
increase in the use of the existing "plant," without any radical
increase in equipment and resources. The figures therefore
indicate that, with the present equipment, we are doing as
well as could be expected, and are making to the City a satis
factory return on the money invested. But, as I have tried to
show in all of my previous reports, a City with a population
and an area equal to Savannah's, cannot be given the full
extent of public library service to which its citizens are en
titled, without more adequate provision of branches and other
extension activities. If I could be content with trying to
make a report of satisfactory progress from year to year, I
should say nothing about this other aspect of the situation.
But I cannot fool myself, and I would be false to the responsibihties of my position if I tried to fool anyone else. The use of
the library at present, notwithstanding the record of almost
unbroken growth from year to year, is considerably less than
half what would be shown if the people of Savannah were
provided with library facilities in adequate measure.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 359
The following is quoted from my report of a year ago:
"There is only one remedy for this condition. If the City still
extended south no further than Gaston Street or Park Avenue,
a single library building, well located, would be sufficient.
With the City occupying the area which it now does, the one
building which we now have is not sufficient. One or more
branches must be supplied before we can be in line with most
other progressive cities, and before we can hope to extend our
service as we ought. The need of branches is becoming more
and more urgent every year, as the far southern and eastern
sections of the City are being rapidly occupied."
Since I wrote this, a year ago, conditions have been im
proved to some extent by the opening of the small branch in
Hodgson Hall, in co-operation with the Georgia Historical
Society. Early in January, 1923, $2,000.00 was granted by
the City for the purpose of opening this branch. It was re
cognized by the Board of this Library, and I believe also by the
City, that this amount would be sufficient only for a very small
beginning, and not for the adequate development of the
branch. Bearing this in mind, I believe the branch has amply
justified itself, and has demonstrated the need for its further
development. It is not yet, however, in a position to serve the
people of that vicinity as it should; and we are still in need of
additional branches to serve other sections of the City.
It was desirable that this branch in Hodgson Hall should
be established, not only for the benefit of the people resident
in that section, but for the close co-operation with the Histori
cal Society by which the general literary and educational
interests of the City will be so abundantly furthered. With
this exception, I have always felt, and still feel, that the best
location for a branch would be in the heart of the business and
shopping section of the City,as close as possible to Bull and
Broughton Streets. Ordinarily a branch library is almost
entirely regional, serving only the people who live in the
immediate vicinity. That would be true of branch libraries
located in any of the outlying sections of Savannah. A well
360 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT.
equipped branch in the Broughton Street section, supple
mented by increased service through the schools to reach the
children, would serve so very high a percentage of the commun
ity that the need for smaller branches in other sections would
be indefinitely posponed.
The question is, are we to have a well equipped branch in
the Broughton Street section; or are we to have a number of
small branches in more remote sections; or are we to have no
additional branches at all?
Savannah's most urgent educational need, as we all know
is for more money for the schools. But if the need for increased
library facilities is less urgent, less imperative, than the need
for increased school facilities, so also is the amount of addition
al money which is needed, correspondingly smaller. We now
have for the library $25,500.00 for the year's expenses. The
amount of $45,000.00an increase of approximately $20,000.00
a year, would put us pretty closely in fine with national
library standards.
Hodgson Hall Branch
The branch library at Hodgson Hall was opened for
public use on March 5, after six weeks of perliminary work in
making the necessary rearrangement of books and cases on the
main floor to permit the installation of a small collection of the
more popular books, purchased by the library for the purpose,
and to make available more space for readers. Miss Mary C.
McCants was placed in charge of the branch. Throughout the
remainder of the year the branch has been open daily from
2 to 10 p. m. and on Sundays from 4 to 7 p. m. The circulation
of books has been 10,752. To a certain extent the branch has
cut into the use of the main library, as many former borrowers
now find it more convenient to use the branch, occasionally or
habitually. The adult circulation at the main library shows a
loss of 6,669, which can be explained only by the drawing of
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 361
*
many
'
readers to the branch. The branch has therefore made a
net increase in the circulation of books of something over 4,000
in a little less than ten months.
Borrowers at the branch have the privilege of obtaining
books, on request, from the main library, although this interloan privilege cannot be extended to recent works of fiction or
to the most popular books in other classes. With the small
amount of money available for books, we have placed in the
branch about 800 books. These include several hundred
volumes of popular fiction of recent years, with a small col
lection of popular books of non-fiction, and we have endeavored
also to purchase for the branch a good supply of new books,
especially in fiction, which cannot be lent from the main library
for branch use.
The operation of the branch illustrates the economy of
branch maintenance as compared with the main library, for
there are many administrative expenses necessary to the central
library which need not be duplicated atthe branch. The work of
cataloging, for example, can be done by the cataloging force at
the main library at far less cost than would be necessary if the
branch had to be operated as a separate institution. The same
economy is seen in the purchase of supplies, and in many
smaller ways. A very considerable saving is effected also in the
purchase of books, the inter-loan system making unnecessary
the duplication of a great many books which would otherwise
have to be purchased in duplicate.
This economy is illustrated also in regard to salaries.
Mr. William Harden, Librarian of the Georgia Historical
Society, is on duty as formerly, for part of the time that the
building is now opened. A part of his salary was taken over
by this library (in lieu of paying the Society for the use of the
building), and his knowledge of the Society's collection is of
inestimable service in the more serious use of the valuable
resources now made available to the public without cost. It
was necessary also to have a competeht person detailed from
362 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
i
the staff of the main library as Branch Librarian. After
figuring on the other necessary expenses of operation, it was
seen that only $500.00, or a little more, would be available for
the salary of the Branch Librarian. Obivously, it was im
possible for any such amount to secure the services of anyone
competent to take charge of the branch. The situation was
met by appointing, with the money available, a new assistant
for about three-fourths of full-time employment, but she was
assigned to duty at the main library. Miss McCants was trans
ferred to Hodgson Hall as Branch Librarian, still giving about
one-third of her time, however, to the main library. The results
have been very satisfactory, for whereas the successful oper
ation of a branch requires a competent and well-qualified
assistant of long experience, a new and inexperienced assistant
can be more easily absorbed into the service at the main
library, where she can obtain further training and experience
as one of a larger force.
Since the total appropriation for the library for 1924 is
the same as in 1923 ($25,500.00), the needs of the main
library will compel us to hold the expenditures for the branch
as close as possible to the $2,000.00 which was made available
by the supplemental appropriation, made for the establish
ment of the branch a year ago. Fortunately, however, the
branch and the main library are not separate institutions, but
are part of the same system, and the money available is for use
wherever it seems likely to get the best results. If economies
can be effected at one point, the saving can be applied wherever
it seems to be for the best good of the library as a whole.
In addition to the cataloging of the new books which we
have bought for the branch, nearly a thousand volumes belong
ing to the Society have been cataloged, with cards filed both at
Hodgson Hall and at the main library. This is in line with a
recommendation which I made in my report five years ago
"To aid in avoiding unnecessary duplication, and to enable us
to serve the public better, we should sometime have a complete
catalog of Society's library, and should have an arrangement
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 363
whereby we could borrow from them for circulation or for use
in the building." The happy re-establishment of complete co
operation with the Society has now made possible the begin
ning of work toward providing this joint catalog, and the be
ginning fulfilment of this hope encourages me to believe that
the development of other branches, delivery stations, and
other agencies, the importance of which I have been urging for
eight years, may yet become a reality.
Children's Department
The Children's Department, under Miss Sandoe, has
shown by far the most noticeable increase of the year. At the
main library the use of this department shows an increase over
1922 of more than 17 per cent. The East Side branch gained
3.5 per cent, and at Waters Avenue there was an increase of
over 84 per cent. This unusual increase is in part due to the
fact that the branch was kept open throughout the summer,
instead of being closed as formerly in July, August, and
September, but is mainly due to increased personal attention
to the work, especially in the telling of stories once a week.
No better illustration could be desired of the effectiveness of
the story hour, and of personal work with the childern. A
new branch was opened in the Barnard Street School on
November 13, from which in six open days, 756 books were
issued. This branch, like the East Side and Waters Avenue
branches, is open only one afternoon a week.
The following is taken from a report submitted by Miss
Sandoe:
"In children's work, it is impossible to work with children
alone. Those who influence the child most deeply, the parents
and the teachers, must be thought of and appealed to. For the
past year and a half, I have tried to make the library's in
fluence felt and appreciated in the schools and the homes. A
364 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
number of different methods have been tried, some new, some
old.
"I have visited most of the grades in the grammer
schools, telling the children about the library, the member
ship rules and privileges, and either telling the children about
a number of different books to be found here, or telling a story
to arouse their interest to a greater degree than a mere talk
about the library could do. At these times, the children were
not only invited to join, they were giVen membership appli
cations to fill out and bring with them when they came to the
library. Often children feel an interest, but, having short
memories, forget that they mean to go to the library, and never
join. The applications for membership give them concrete
evidence of the talk, and afford an explanation to the parents of
the obligations they assume when permitting the child to join.
"While such school visiting is meant to appeal primarily
to the child, it serves also as a means of telling the teachers that
the library is always ready to work with them; to invite them
to visit the library, and to ask whether they would care to
make use of a class room collection or the picture collection.
Some results have been obtained in this way, but most teachers
hesitate to use the class room collections, either because they
find twenty books insufficient for a class, because they feel it
would involve too much time and responsibility, or because of
the difficulty of getting such collections to and from the
schools. I believe that collections of this nature would circu
late and be appreciated by the teachers:
"1. The collections were sent in locked cases; 2. That
some arrangement be arrived at between the school board and
the library, whereby lost or damaged books would be charged
to the schools and not to the individual teacher; 3. That a
definite schedule be worked out and kept to for sending boxes
from one school to the next. For example, at the beginning of
the year, the library would send boxes A, B, C and D to Massie,
Montgomery, Abercorn, and Henry, respectively. The boxes
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 365
would stay in those schools six weeks. October 13, the schools
would be notified by the library that on October 15 books were
to be all in and packed in the boxes. October 15, a wagon
would go to Massie, take box A to Montgomery, box B from
Montgomery to Abercorn, and so on around the circle, until
every school had a new collection for use during the next six
weeks.
"If such a scheme could be worked out, it would mean a
rather large initial expense for books and boxes, but there is no
doubt that, if the teachers co-operated, the returns would be
great enough to justify the expense. In one fifth grade, a class
room collection reported a circulation of 208 in 28 days.
"Some such method seems to be the only way of reaching
such schools as Massie and Montgomery. We have tried the
branch or deposit station method. For several years Waters
Avenue has had such service, while the East Side branch
took care of the children from Abercorn. Just lately another
branch was opened in Barnard Street school, the results there
proving conclusively that the children need the library badly.
If the library were able to go on opening branches in the
schools until each school had one, it would serve the purpose
splendidly, better, undoubtedly, than the class room collect
ions would, for the librarian would come in contact with the
child as well as getting the book to the child, but no more
branches can be established for some time to come.
"That a school library has a very definite place in educa
tional work today is becoming more and more to be recognized.
One of the private schools in the City, realizing this fact, asked
assistance from the library in organizing such a library in the
school. Realizing the need of demonstrating in this way that
the library is an educational factor, as well as a recreational
one, assistance was gladly given in getting the school library
started. It is now functioning and proving of use, but it is
hoped that before long a more successful demonstration may
366 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
be made of its possibilities, and a trained librairan placed in
charge. The Barnard Street branch, too, has possibilities
for educational, as well as recreational, work, and it is to be
hoped that with the co-operation of the teachers a real use will
be made of the branch.
"Among the different means of getting in touch with
parents, the Christmas exhibit of books is one of the most im
portant. This exhibit serves several purposes; it gives the
mother who knows about children's books a chance to see
some of the worth-while new ones; it often makes a mother who
would buy a poor book purchase a better one; and it brings
many parents to the library. To increase the enthusiasm
among the children and to reach more ofthe parents, the exhibit
this year consisted not only of books, but of posters about books
made by children of the Junior High Schools of the City.
Too great praise cannot be given to the children for their
excellent work, or to the teachers and supervisor who directed
it. The exhibit was more successful this year than ever
before. To make it mean more to Savannah, it was necessary
for the books to be obtainable in Savannah. B. H. Levy, Bro.
and Co. carried the books, and I spent several hours each day
in the store to give advice as to the right book to buy.
"Each week in the Saturday issue of the Morning News
there is a write-up about children's books on the school page.
This was meant for the children, but seems to have reached the
parents as well. Parents want children to read the right books.
It is merely a question of how to tell them what the right books
are. If we can get the mothers, the teachers, and the librarian
all to urge reading and to suggest the right books to read, we
will have reached the ideal condition."
The increase of 52.5 per cent, in the last six years, in the
number of books borrowed, has been accompanied by a much
higher percentage of increase in the resources of the library and
in our ability to render good service to the public. This
applies not only to the lending of books for home reading, but
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 367
to the use of the reference department for specific information
and for more serious investigation along any lines. The use of
this department has increased materially, but in no fair ratio
to the increase in its ability, to meet requests of all sorts.
There are many evidences that people who have used the
library regularly in these six years appreciate the improve
ments which have been made. The chief problem now con
fronting us is to increase more rapidly the number of people to
whom we are giving our service.
Respectfully submitted,
C. SEYMOUR THOMPSON,
Librarian.

370 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE CARNEGIE COLORED
PUBLIC LIBRARY
Savannah, Ga.
January 1, 1924.
To the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Library:
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit the annual report of the Carnegie
Library, showing its activities and accomplishments for the
year ending December 31, 1923.
It will be gratifying to you to know that during the year
there has been a noticeable and steady increase in the number
of those who are becoming conscious of the library as being a
source of information and helpful service. This increase in
patronage, increases the demands for such service, demands
which are now in excess of what the limited equipment, can
render. This suggests the need of better equipment, in order
to make it possible to render the service, which the present day
public library is expected to render.
THE BOOK COLLECTION
The Library now contains 41'7
8 volumes. In the annual
report of 1922, special mention was made of the general make
up of the book collection, and a method for its steady increase
both in number of volumes and strength was suggested. As
there has been no appreciable change in its contents during the
year, it will not be necessary to mention that feature in this
report. The number of the volumes added during the year is
141. Of these ninety-four were gifts, and forty-seven were by
purchase. The number withdrawn or discarded is one hundred
eight-two. It is becoming evident, that it is necessary to
strengthen each class, in our book collection, as early as it is
practicable, so as to be able to render the service which is
desired. The information desired by patrons on various topics,
the question brought to the library in search of answers, make
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 371
it essential that some books upon every subject in the various
fields of thought and endeavor, be added to the book collection.
BORROWERS REGISTRATION
The number of borrowers registered, and the number of
borrowers cards issued during the year is 353. With few
exceptions there is but one card holder in each family repre
sented by the card holder registered. This would indicate
that there are approximately three hundred new families
represented by the number of cards issued during the year.
This, however, does not accurately record the number of new
patrons whom the library has served. In many cases members
of a family, other than the card holder make use of the books
before they are returned to the library. There are many,
therefore, whom the library serves, where the service cannot be
recorded.
THE BOOK CIRCULATION
The statistics which appears later in this report, shows
that three thousand and sixty-five books were circulated for
home reading during the year. While this is the number
recorded, for the reason stated under registration, the service
rendered is greater than can be committed to record.
REFERENCE WORK
The reference section has been widely used during the
year. This is one of the most serviceable features of modern
library service. While it is not possible to express by statistics
the amount of service this section has rendered, 'it may be
stated that the demands made upon it were far in excess of
the ability to supply, because of our limited number of refer
ence books. During the year numerous and varied questions
were brought to the library to be answered. The desire for
such service will increase, as the public becomes conscious of
the usefulness and the possiblities of this service. That this
372 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
section may render better service, it is essential that we add
to our collection of reference books as early as possible.
JUVENILE SECTION
The juvenile section has been used constantly during the
year. Not only has the circulation of books in that section
been steady, but interest had been manifested in the current
juvenile periodicals. The number of children supplied with
home reading is two thousand one hundred ninety-three. As
the books in this section deteriorate rapidly a large percentage
of them beyond repair, it is necessary that the books in this
section be constantly added to so chat those constituting the
future patrons of the library may be encouraged in forming
reading habits and to read books which are worth while.
OTHER SERVICE
Aside from the usual and immediate library activities
herein mentioned, it will be well to state that during the year
the auditorium of the library has been used as a meeting place
of various groups, planning measures for community better
ment. We may name the Chatham County Teachers Associ
ation as one of those groups, whose meetings at the library is
appropriate. The library and the school, while each has its
own sphere of activity in the field of education should be
regarded as correlative forces to each other, and a mutual
co-operative spirit between the library and the school should
be fostered.
NEEDS
Before' closing this report, it will be well to state that
there is a need of increased facilities, in order that increased
service may be rendered. This can not be accomplished with
the present limited amount of resources and will at once
suggest to you the need of increased revenue.

Note
The total appropriation for Parks and Squares, Bona

Chatham Crescent was the sum of $40,000.00.
This amount was distributed between the various depart
ments and while some appear to be overdrawn this overdraft
was taken care of by an unexpended balance in the Parks and
Squares allotment so that the total expenditures amounted to
a sum no greater than that appropriated, therefore no more
overdraft exists.
382 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Bonaventure Cemetery
This cemetery has received very careful attention during
the past year and we feel very much pleased with the results
obtained.
We planted the grass plats in Italian Rye Grass and this
presented a most pleasing appearance throughout the winter
months.
Much work of a miscellaneous nature was done that
helped to improve the conditions of the cemetery.
Additional water mains were laid in Sections K and P.
We installed water on 30 lots.
We have under our charge 520 lots in annual care.
We care for 140 lots under individual perpetuity agree
ments.
We are caring for 130 lots in the perpetuity section.
Water was furnished to 440 lots.
76 lots were sold during the year.
An addition to the perpetuity section was cleared up and
will soon be in position to be placed on the market.
We painted the water tank and tower, both receiving a
thorough scraping and steel brushing before being painted and
then two coats of metal paint were applied.
We have sold perpetuity contracts in Bonaventure
Cemetery to amount of $58,595.00.
Forsyth Park and Bull Street Squares
This park and these squares received the usual routine
care during the past year.
The grass was kept mowed, the leaves and rubbish raked
up and removed, benches repaired and painted and new
benches placed.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 383
Wells Square
This square has received the usual attention but as same
had been used for several years as a playground it came back
to us almost free of grass and this has begun to again show
signs of spreading and we trust it will not be long again before
this square will present its usual attractive appearance.
Thomas Park
It has not been possible for us to keep this park in as good
condition as formerly due to its close proximity to the Junior
High School but we have endeavored to do the best we could
under trying conditions.
We placed thirty-five new benches in this park last year
and all of them were destroyed except one.
The destruction of benches in this park as well as in the
other parks of the City is no new thing, for it occurs every
year and we sincerely trust that a more determined effort will
be made to break up these acts of vandalism.
The fountain and railing around the basin were repaired
last year but it was again torn down and part of it had to be
removed.
Dasher Park
This park was turned over to the Water Department for
use as a site for a pumping station and park and the same is
being kept up by that department and always presents a very
attractive appearance.
SQUARES
East and West of Bull Street and North of Gaston Street
The usual routine care was given these squares during the
past year and they were planted in Italian Rye Grass for the
winter months and this made them more pleasing to the eye
than the year previous when no rye grass was planted.
384 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
The Strand
The usual attention was given to the grass plats, shrubb
ery, trees, etc., and the sowing of winter rye added much to its
appearance.
Myers Park
This park shows a wonderful improvement since it was
graded and grass planted, the walks paved and trees re
arranged.
Cann Park
Beyond being curbed this park has had little develop
ment but during the coming year improvements are con
templated that will make it more attractive and usable.
Grayson Park
This park has been given the usual routine care and kept
in good condition but is badly in need of cement walks.
Dixon Park
Very little has been accomplished in this park because the
playing of base ball and other games makes its improvement
impossible.
Grass Plats
We have accomplished a considerable amount of work in
the matter of filling in low grass plats and will continue this
work atevery opportunity until we have gotten our grass platsto
a point where they are more sightly. There is still much
room for improvement.
Grading
It will be interesting to note that we have hauled in excess
of twenty thousand yards of sand which has been used to fill
in low grass plats, Thomas Park, squares on Abercorn and
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 385
Habersham Streets and also the grass plats on Oglethrope
Avenue.
We also raised the grade and filled in Theus Park and then
made a perfect piece of grading work, chis not only adding to
the appearance of the park but making it possible for us to
keep same in much better condition.
Victory Drive from Waters Avenue to Bee Road was
graded and put in good condition.
Trees
We planted 600 trees during the year but due to the
indifference on the part of the parties in front of whose property
these trees were planted many of them died which will necessi
tate a replacement.
120 shrubs were planted in the various parks.
Trimming Trees
This work received our earnest attention during the
year and many miscellaneous requests were taken care of and
a great deal accomplished from systematic trimming.
This form of work is never ending and the trees require
constant trimming in order to keep them from interfering with
vehicle and pedestrian travel and also to keep them from
overgrowing private property.
Emmet Park
The usual care given. New benches placed.
Parks in Granger Tract
The parks in this tract have received the usual attentiop.
Parks in Ardsley Park
The usual routine care was given these parks during the
past year.
386 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
An improvement was made at the entrance to this sub
division by trimming the Ligustrum Japonicum, this making
it possible for vehicles and pedestrians to get a clearer view of
the street and sidewalks.
Colonial Park
We continue to keep a caretaker in this park during the
summer months and also to plant said park in rye grass during
the winter.
We are still troubled by acts of vandalism but are hoping
that by police protection these acts may be broken up.
Daffin Park
No material improvement was made in this park during
the year.
With the exception of a connecting walk of concrete from
the walk in approach to entrance to covered walkway no other
construction work was undertaken.
Several hundred yards of sand was hauled into this park
and used to fill up the low places thereby .assisting in the drain
age and removing the breeding places of mosquitos.
The lake bottom was given its usual spring cleaning.
New spring boards were made and installed to take the
place of those broken during the swimming season.
Due to the growth of a certain water grass known as
Hydrochloa caroliniensis which became not only objectionable
to the bathers but which was growing in large patches thereby
making the lake unattractive in appearance, it became nec
essary for the water to be drained twice during the season and
the objectionable growth removed and the bottom treated
with copper sulphate which had a tendency to decrease the
growth of the said grass.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 387
Miscellaneous Work
We had a large quantity of brick bats given to us and we
hauled a total of 310 yards to our lot where it is held for future
use in the construction of concrete walks.
A number of loads of wood which were derived from the
removal of dead trees upon the streets and in our parks were
delivered to the charitable organization and the worthy poor.
140 benches were built and placed in our parks.
Other benches were repaired and painted and then reset.
Our workshop was practically completed and concrete
floors put down making it possible for us to get the benefit of
its use for the many and varied pieces of work required of us.
Laurel Grove Cemetery
The general care and routine work has been carried on in
this cemetery the past year to the entire satisfaction of the
commission.
The commission desires to report that it has cared for the
lot of Mary E. Williams, same having been placed in per
petuity June 11th, 1900.
We have sold perpetuity contracts in this cemetery to the
amount of $12,450.00.
The entire interior of the keeper's residence was washed
down and repainted with good oil and flat paints, the floors
scrubbed and painted with floor paint and should give good
service for several years in spite of the great amount of dust
which seems to sweep around the property from the streets.
This work was done out of the regular appropriation, this hav
ing been made possible through loss of time of certain em
ployees said loss of time being due to sickness.
All tin roofs were carefully gone over and repaired.
388 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
We are still badly in need of our greenshouse and will
continue to be badly handicapped until we are able to construct
same.
All dangerous limbs and trees were removed.
Laurel Grove Cemetery
This cemetery has been kept in very satisfactory con
dition by the keeper during the past year and we have had no
cause for complaint.
A four inch cast iron water main was extended into the
cemetery and from which laterals were run. The main was
laid by the Water Department and the ditches were opened
by the cemetery labor.
I attach to this report the mortuary satisfies of the
Keeper's of the cemeteries.
Yours respectfully,
P. D. DAFFIN,
Chairman.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
BOARD OF SANITARY
COMMISSIONERS
OF THE
CITY OF SAVANNAH, GA.
FOR THE YEAR ENDING
DECEMBER 31,
1923
V. H. BASSETT, M. D.
HEALTH OFFICER.

MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 395
HON. PAUL E. SEABROOK, Mayor,
City of Savannah, Ga.
City Hall.
Sir:
The following report, covering the work of the Health
Department for the year 1923, as performed under the direct
ion of the Board of Sanitary Commissioners, is presented for
your consideration. Appended to this report are tables of
vital statistics and reports of the Director of the City Labora
tories, of the Chief Public Health Nurse, of the City Physic
ians, of the City Dispensary, of the Inspector of Malaria
Control, of the Chief Sanitary Inspector, Chief Food Inspector,
and hospitals receiving city aid.
The year 1923 has been an average year as concerns
health. The rainfall was much below normal, there being a
deficiency of 17.72 inches at the end of the year. On this
account the incidence of malaria was much lowered, and the
mosquito reduction work greatly facilitated. During the
early months of the year there was an epidemic of influenza
complicated by pneumonia. This epidemic was common over
the United States, did not involve a large percentage of the
population, but caused a distinct increase in the number of
deaths, including deaths from heart disease. There was also
an epidemic of measles which persisted throughout the year
and which was local in character. On account of the pre
valence of influenza and measles, both of which diseases are
complicated by pneumonia, the number of deaths from measles
was larger than for many years. Except for these epidemics,
the death rate has been low.
ORGANIZATION
The City Drug Dispensary was re-established during the
year, since the need for it was evident. From the standpoint
of both economy and service, the dispensary has proved its
usefulness. The Division of Inspection and Oiling, Malaria
396 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Control, was transferred from the Public Works Department
to the Health Department. The Office of Dog Catcher was
filled by an officer sworn in as a police officer and a dog pound
established at the City Lot.
The positions of Health Officer and Director of Public
Health Laboratories (City Bacteriologist) were filled during
the year by competitive examination. Candidates were rated
on preliminary education, special training in public health,
experience, character and ability. The examination for
Health Officer was held by the United States Public Health
Service. The examination for Director of Public Laboratories
was given by an examining committee composed of the mem
bers of the Health Committee of City Council and the Health
Officer. The advantage of the method of selection of the head
of the City laboratory, and the resulting re-organization of
the work, is already apparent. At the time this report goes to
press, a similar examination has been held for the position of
Supervisor of Public Health Nurses, and a well qualified,
experienced woman selected for that position.
VITAL STATISTICS
The Department of Vital Statistics has been efficiently
administered by Mrs. E. R, Wheatley, Registrar of Vital
Statistics. The following discussion of the data on record in
the Vital Statistics Department is presented:
POPULATION
The population of Savannah, estimated for the midyear
of 1923, as given by the United States Census, is as follows:
White Colored Total
48,269 41,179 89,448
The colored population comprises 46 percent of the total
population, and this ratio is now decreasing yearly. The
native-born white population is approximately 50 percent of the
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 397
total, and the foreign-born white population about 4 percent.
The estimated number of children under one year of age is
1641, and the estimated number under five years of age 7515.
It is probable that the actual number of persons now
living within the corporate limits of Savannah is fully 12,000
less than the number given above. It is estimated that within
the jurisdictional limits of the City of Savannah, which extends
three miles beyond the corporate limits, there is a population
of fully 90,000 people. The rates given in this report are,
however, based on the estimates of the U. S. Census. In
accordance with custom, the total rate and the rate excluding
non-residents are both given.
BIRTHS
The data in regard to births are presented in Table 1.

Annual ratiolive births
per 1000 population 22.6 19.0 20.9
398 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
The combined rate for live births in Savannah in
1923 was 20.9 births per 1000 population. The rate for the
United States was 23.7 in 1920. The Savannah rate for whites
was 22.6, closely approximating the rate for the entire country,
while the rate for colored was distinctly lower, being 19 live
births per 1000 inhabitants.
The situation in regard to the birth rates is better under
stood when the Vital Index is considered. The Vital Index is
the ratio of live births to deaths, and this ratio shows whether
a population is making a healthy increase, or losing ground.
The Vital Index for Savannah in 1923 was 122 live births per
100 deaths. The Vital Index for the white population was 190
live births per 100 deaths. The Vital Index for the colored
population was 71 live births per 100 deaths. The colored
population is, therefore, dying faster than it is reproducing
itself, and if it were not for migration from the rural districts
to the City, would gradually disappear.
The number of still births was as follows: white, 43;
colored, 136; total 179, and the rates are presented in the
following Table 2.
Table 2
Still Birth Rates
White Colored Total
Still births per 100 live births 3.9 17.4 9.6
Still births per 100,000 population... 89 330 200
The largest factor in the production of stillbirths is
syphilis, and this disease is a large factor in the high figure for
stillbirths in the colored race. A larger use of the facilities
offered by the City at the City Venereal Clinic will tend to
reduce the number of stillbirths.
DEATH RATES
The number of deaths and the death rates are presented
in Tables 3 and 4.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 399

Deaths, all causes excluding non
residents 489 1047 1536
Total deaths, all causes including non
residents 575 1108 1683
The death rates per 1000 inhabitants are given in Table 4:
Table 4

Death rate, residents natural causes... 9.1 23.6 15.8
Death rates, all causes excluding non
residents 10.1 25.4 17.2
Death rates, all causes, including non
residents 11.9 26.9 18.8
It will be seen that the death rate per 1000 inhabitants,
all causes and including non-residents, is 18.8, and the rate
excluding non-residents is 17.2. The resident rate of deaths
for natural causes is 15.8. The total rate for the year 1922 was
18.4 per 1000. These rates are high in comparison with the
general rate for the United States, which was 11.6 per 1000
in 1921. The difference is due to the large percentage of negro
population, which has a high death rate. Savannah, in
common with all cities having a large negro population, has a
high common death rate. If the rates for the two races be
examined separately, it will be seen that the rate for whites is
low, being 11.9 per 1000, about equal to the general rate for the
United States, while the rate for negroes in Savannah is very
400 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
high, being 26.9 per 1000. The rate for negroes in the United
States was 17.7 per 1000 in 1920, this rate including, however,
the rural negro population, with a lower rate. Our rate for
negroes compares very favorably with the rate for negroes in
northern cities, where, for climatic reasons, the death rate for
negroes is high.
Principal Causes of Death
The number of deaths for each title of the International
List of Causes of Death (1910 list) is given in Table No. 12.
In Table 5, influenza and its accompanying pneumonia are
combined, and this class of causes of deaths led in number in
1923, as it did in 1919 and 1920. In 1921 the largest causes of
deaths was heart disease, and in 1922, kidney disease.

Infant Mortality
The infant mortality rate is the ratio of the number of
deaths of infants under one year of age to the number of live
infants born during the year. The data are presented in the
following Table 6.
Table 6
Live Births, Deaths of Infants and Infant Mortality rate

Deaths, infants under one year of age.. 86 129 225
Ratio Deaths to Births, infant
mortality rate 79.0 178.0 120.0
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 401
The infant mortality rate for the United States in 1920
was 86 deaths per 1000 live births. The rate of 120 deaths per
1000 births in Savannah is a high rate, this high rate being
largely due to the very high infant mortality rate among the
colored people, 178 deaths to 1000 live births. The rate for the
white population is 79 deaths per 1000 live births, a rate
better than the rate for the United States in 1920, which was
86 deaths per 1000 live births. Better work in infant welfare
hygiene is needed to lower the infant mortality rate in this
City, and the figures indicate that the need is much greater for
the colored people.
Combined Puerperal Rate
The total number of deaths due to the puerperal state in
1923 was 24, of which 8 were white and 16 colored. The
combined puerperal death rate is the ratio of deaths due to the
puerperal state to the number of births. This ratio in 1923
was 7.3 deaths to 1000 births for whites; 20.5 deaths per 1000
births for colored; and 12.8 deaths per 1000 births for both
races. Inasmuch as the number of deaths yearly from puerperal
causes is small (though much larger than it should be) and
varies considerably, a better measure of this factor may be
secured by taking the average number of puerperal deaths for
five years, and determining the ratio to the average number of
births yearly for the same period. These figures are shown in
the following table.
Table 7
Combined Puerperal Death Rate for Five Year Period.

S-14
402 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
From the above table it will be seen that approximately
10 white women die for every 1000 babies born and approxi
mately 25 colored women die for every 1000 babies born, the
combined rate being 17 deaths for every 1000 babies born.
The rate for the United States in 1920 was 8 deaths per 1000
live births. These figures show the great need of better
prenatal and obstetric care for women of both races.
Communicable Diseases
The following diseases, in addition to some rarer diseases
not commonly occurring, are required to be reported to the
Health Department: typhoid fever, typhus fever (including
Brill's Disease) malarial fever, measles, scarlet fever, whoop
ing cough, diptheria, influenza, tetanus neanatorum, pellagra,
pulmonary tuberculosis, gonorrhoea, syphilis, cerebrospinal
fever, poliomyelitis, pneumonia, smallpox and chickenpox,
and ophthalmia of the newborn.
All cases of smallpox are hospitalized. Cases of diptheria,
scarlet fever and cerebrospinal fever are quarantined and
houses placarded. Cases of measles are isolated and houses
placarded. Children infected with communicable diseases and
their non-immune contacts are excluded from school. Termi
nal disinfection is practiced with smallpox, scarlet fever,
diptheria and pulmonary tuberculosis. Instructive nursing
visits are made by the public health nursing service and in
creased emphasis is being laid on concurrent disinfection.
Hospital facilities for communicable diseases, other than
smallpox, are limited. A very few beds are available for
white cases of diptheria, scarlet fever, and measles, but there
is no provision for colored. The following notes on special
diseases are added to this brief preliminary statement.
Smallpox
There were 20 cases of smallpox in 1923 as compared with
39 cases in 1922. Half of the cases were colored. A feature of
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 403
the disease was the occurance of a number of cases among
white women. There were no deaths. There have been no
deaths from smallpox for years.
The first systematic vaccination, made by the public
health nursing service and covering the entire City, was begun
in 1922 and finished in 1923. Over 6000 vaccinations were
made by the .Health Department, and it is estimated that an
equal number were made by physicians. Owing to the efficient
administration of our compulsory vaccination law over a long
period of years, Savannah has a population that is over 90%
vaccinated.
Chickenpox
A considerable number of cases occurred during the year,
most of which were not reported. Fifty-two cases were
recorded. There were a large number of cases among negro
children.
Scarlet FeVer
Twenty-seven cases of scarlet fever occurred in 1923 as
compared with 42 in 1922. All of these cases but one occurred
in white children, and were for the most part mild. It is
probable that some cases in colored children are overlooked.
The one case in a colored child was discovered as the result of
a report by a white woman that she had reason to believe that
her children had taken scarlet fever from contact with
the sick child of her laundress. This colored child was not very
ill, but developed an abcess of the neck as a complication, and
in the absence of adequate hospital provision for such cases,
succumbed to the complication.
Scarlet fever is not a very severe disease in this climate.
Since 1910, in 13 years, there have been only six deaths, of
which five were white and one colored. This is at a rate of less
than one death (accurately, 0.59) per 100,000 population
yearly. The rate for the United States in 1920 was 4.6 deaths
per 100,000 population.
404 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Diphtheria
There were 59 cases in 1923, as compared with 112 cases
in 1922. Of the 59 cases, 50 were in white people, 9 in colored
people. There were 5 deaths, 4 in colored people and 1 in a
white child.' The death rate from this disease in Savannah for
1923 was 5.6 deaths per 100,000 population. The rate for the
United States in 1920 was 15.3 deaths per 100,000 population.
This disease does not have the virulence in the southern
climate which it possesses in a colder climate, but in many
individual cases has a severe course. On this account, the
department recommends immunization by means of diptheria
toxin-antitoxin vaccination. A beginning was made in 1923,
and it is proposed to urge this work in 1924.
The Health Department furnished diptheria antitoxin
free to indigent persons, at cose to others. Facilities for
diagnosis are also supplied and, at present, quarantine is
maintained and the house placarded for a minimum period of
ten days, or until a negative culture is obtained from the throat
of the patient. It is recommended that two negative cultures
be required for release of quarantine, one culture to be taken
by an agent of the Health Department. Close contacts,
especially among children are cultured to locate carriers.
Whooping Cough
Fifty-five cases were reported during the year, with six
deaths, three in each race. The rate for Savannah in 1923 was,
therefore, 6.7 deaths per 100,000 population as compared with
a rate of 12.5 for the United States in 1920. Physicians are
requested to report cases and the public health nurses make
instructive nursing visits, but no attempt has been made to
placard or quarantine this disease, so difficult to control on
account of its indefinite onset and termination.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 405
Measles
An epidemic of measles prevailed during the year, 382
cases being reported, this evidently being only a fraction of
the cases which occurred. There was a high mortality during
the year, probably on account of the prevalence, during much
of the same period, of influenza and its complicating pneu
monia. There were 13 deaths from measles, 9 among white
children and 4 among negroes. This makes a rate for Savannah
of 14.5 deaths per 100,000 population from this disease, as
compared with a rate of 8.8 in the United States for 1920.
Since 1910 there have been 28 deaths from this disease,
equally divided between the two races in number. This makes
an average yearly number of deaths of about two, and a rate
per 100,000 of 2.7 deaths.
All authorities are agreed that it is difficult, in the absence
of any easily applied method of producing immunity, to
control this easily spread disease. A beginning is being made
in New York City, where the health department is immuniz
ing children with the blood serum of cured cases. This method
does not seem to be generally applicable. Methods of control,
at the present time, should be aimed mainly at preventing the
disease during the most dangerous period of life, that is in
children upder the school age, and in educating mothers as to
the necessity of considering measles as a dangerous disease in
young children. The Health Department is, therefore, pla
carding houses so that neighboring mothers may know where
the disease is located, is excluding non-immune contacts from
school, and is sending nurses to make instructive nursing
visits to patients with this disease.
Malarial Fever
There were 54 cases of malaria reported in 1923, with 13
deaths recorded as due to this disease, of which 12 were in
negroes and only one in a white person. In many of the negro
deaths, malarial fever was given as the cause of death, but the
406 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
condition was not accurately observed, nor the diagnosis
confirmed by laboratory examinations. The department is
compelled, under the rules of the United States Census to
record these cases, duly reported as malarial fever, as caused by
this disease, but in many instances the diagnosis is probably
incorrect. Of the 59 cases in 1923, fully 55 were located in the
central portions of the City where malarial mosquitoes are not
found, and the history of these cases, or over 90 percent of the
cases, indicate more or less conclusively that the infections
originated outside of the City. The incidence of cases, deaths,
and the death rates for the last five years is given in Table 8.
Table 8
Incidence of Malaria in Savannah 1919-1923
Cases Death Rate from Malaria
Year Reported Deaths Per 100,000 Population
1919 176 41 49.8
1920 104 27 32.1
1921 88 16 18.6
1922 87 13 14.8
No attempt has been made in the above figures to sepa
rate non-residents, since it is clear that the large majority of
our cases of malaria are infected outside the City Limits. In
fact, it is probable that it will be impossible further to lower
our rate until measures have been taken to control malaria in
Chatham County and in the neighboring counties. Since the
undertaking in 1920 of well considered plans for the control of
malaria in the City, there has been a steady decrease in cases
and deaths.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 407
Brill's Fever
It has been known that Brill's fever existed in Savannah
since 1915, but not until the year 1923 were any deaths re
corded from this cause. In August, a death accured from this
cause, complicated with heart disease, and another death occured
in September. On this account, and for the reason that there
appeared to have been some increase in the number of cases of
this disease, and for the further reason that there was some
doubt as to the exact nature of the disease, your Health Officer,
with the consent and approval of the Mayor of Savannah,
requested the United States Public Health Serivce to send an
epidemiologist to make a study of the disease and to recom
mend, if possible, means of controlling it. As a result of this
request, Assistant Surgeon Kenneth F. Maxcy, of the United
States Public Health Service, was sent to Savannah, and in
co-operation with the Health Officer and the physicians of
Savannah, made a study of the disease. The opinion of the
Health Officer was confirmed that the disease was identical
with the fever reported by Dr. Brill, and determined by
Anderson and Goldberger to be a mild type of typhus fever.
Histories of 38 cases ocurring in 1923 were secured. Two of
these were in negroes, and 36 in white people. Positive serum
agglutination tests (Weil-Felix tests) were secured in a number
of cases, thus proving quite conclusively the character of the
infection. Dr. Maxcy has made a detailed report of his
studies, and further work is in progress, from which some
means of control may be secured.
Typhoid Fever
There were 49 cases of Typhoid Fever in 1923, and 14
deaths, of which 12 were in negroes, and 2 were in white people.
Of these fatal cases, three were non-residents. In 1922, for
comparison, there were 77 cases and 11 deaths, 3 in white
people and 8 in negroes. The typhoid death rate for Savannah
in 1923 was, therefore, 15.7 deaths per 100,000 population.
The typhoid death rate for the United States in 1920 was 7.8
per 100,000 population. The morbidity as reported, the
408 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
mortality, and thf death rate per 100,000 for typhoid fever in
Savannah are given for a ten year period in the following table.
For comparison, the death rates for typhoid fever in the
registration area of the United States are given. No attempt
has been made in this table to exclude non-residents.

1922 77 3 8 11 12.5 7.5
1923 49 2 12 14 15.7
From the above table it will be seen that the typhoid
death rate of Savannah is nearly twice the rate for the regi
stration area in the United States, and that while there has
been some improvement during the ten years, it has not been
so great relatively in Savannah as for the country at large.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 409
The rates for the first five years of the decade are distinctly
higher than for the second five years. The total number of cases
reported in the City during the ten year period was 748, and
the number of deaths, 163, at the ratio of one death for every
4.6 cases. The normal ratio for typhoid fever is one death to
every 10 cases. This would make a total of 1630 cases in ten
years. The logical conclusion is that there is not a full report
of cases. Making due allowance for deaths of non-residents,
and for cases reported as suspected typhoid, there is still a con
siderable deficiency of cases reported, estimated from the ratio
of cases to deaths. It will be seen that there were 163 deaths,
of which 55 were in white people and 108 colored, an excess of
90 percent for negroes. Of the total cases reported there were
three times as many white people as negroes. It is probable,
therefore, that the unreported cases were in negroes. If this
is correct, it would explain our excess of typhoid fever and
indicate its mode of spread, for undetected cases among the
negro population would present a peculiar danger on account
of the common work of these people as servants, as cooks, as
waiters, and food handlers, with abundant opportunity to
spread infection.
Savannah has too much typhoid fever. The City Labora
tory is offering increased facilities for diagnosis. The Health
Office is offering free antityphoid inoculation, and it is pro
posed to urge this form of prophylaxis during the coming year.
The Public Health nursing service is making instructive nurs
ing visits for the purpose of assistance in carrying out a con
sistent concurrent disinfection. It is certain that the virus
has not been spread by either the water supply or through
milk supplies. It is, therefore, quite certain that it is conveyed
by direct contact and by the house fly. A more rigid control of
fly breeding, the elimination of open privies, and the provision
by the City of a more prompt and efficient method of dispos
ing of garbage, are all necessary changes to lower the death
rate in typhoid fever. The Health Officer strongly endorses
410 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
the plan of the Department of Public Works and the City
Engineer for a better disposal of garbage.
Influenza
During the later part of 1922 and the early months of
1923, there was a wide spread epidemic of influenza in the
United States. While not of the extreme severity of the epi
demics of 1918 and 1920, this epidemic had a marked effect on
the death rates of this country, especially in cities, causing a
definite rising of the death curve for the first four months of
the year. In Savannah, there were 160 cases of influenza in
December, 1922; 67 cases in January, 1923; 63 cases in Febru
ary, 9 in March and 10 in April. There were 32 deaths from
influenza, 17 in white people, 15 in negroes. There was like
wise an increase in the number of deaths from pneumonia. The
excess of deaths for the first five months of 1923, due to this
epidemic, was 110. Reports from 71 cities in the United States
indicated a similar increase in the death rate from the same
causes.
Tuberculosis
Pulmonary tuberculosis, from the standpoint of public
health, is one of the most important communicable diseases
with which we have to deal. The data for Savannah, with
death, rates from pulmonary tuberculosis for six years, are
given in Table 10.

From the above table, it will be seen that our rates for
white people are very low, and have distinctly improved dur
ing the past three years. The rates for negroes are very high
being nearly five times as large as for white people. Our
common rate for both races is seventy-five percent higher than
the rate for the registration area in the United States.
The relative importance of tuberculosis is shown by the
following comparison: In the year 1917, and prior to that
date, tuberculosis led as the greatest cause of death. In 1918
the year of the great influenza epidemic, influenza and pneu
monia caused the largest number of deaths, and tuberculosis
412 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
was relegated to second place, and in 1920 was still further
lowered to fourth place in causation of death, a position which
it still holds. In 1919, 1920 and again in 1923, influenza and
its accompanying pneumonia led the Ust. Diseases of the
heart took first place in 1921, and diseases of the kidneys in
1922.
The Health Departmentis not doing as much for pulmonary
tuberculosis as should be done. The disease is reportable by
law, and reports are increasing in number yearly. Facilities
for laboratory diagnosis are offered by the City Laboratory
and freely used. Educational literature is distributed by the
department, and the public health nursing service makes
instructive visits. The department is co-operating with the
Chatham-Savannah Tuberculosis Association, and the City
contributes financially to the work of the organization, which
maintains two nurses and two clinics, and is doing fine work.
Your Health Officer recommends that the financial aid to this
organization be materially increased and that the City co
operate with other agencies in establishing and maintaining a
sanatorium for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Municipal Hygienic Laboratory
Despite the fact that an entire change was made in
the membership of the staff of the laboratory during the year,
the work was maintained at a high degree of excellence. The
total number of examinations made during the year was 12,424
as compared with 10,168 examinations in 1922, an increase of
2,256. This work was done with a decided decrease in expenses.
The average cost per capita of population for laboratory
purpose was 10.9 cents. For this small sum, a very large
service is maintained. The number of laboratory examinations
in Savannah per 100,000 inhabitants is estimated to be 13,800
yearly. For cities in the United States, the average or stand
ard number of examinations yearly is 8000. Thus the service
for Savannah is over 70 percent in excess of the average service.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 413
In 1923, the Health Department adopted a policy of co
operative work which will greatly increase the amount of
laboratory work done. Methods were adopted which will
increase the amount of work sent to the laboratory for exami
nation. The first work of this kind was a systematic campaign
to locate and treat hookworm disease. This has resulted in a
great increase in laboratory work. At the time this report goes
to press, the laboratory examinations for the first three months
of 1924 have reached a total of 5202, corresponding to about
21,000 for the year, or an increase of 65 percent.
Water Supply
A weekly examination was made of the public artesian
water supply, and the supply has been uniformly good. The
water in the pump vat at Gwinnett Station is contaminated by
the entrance of surface water. This water is treated with
chlorine gas, and weekly tests have shown that treatment was
effective. It has not been necessary to use this water during
the year 1923.
Savannah has an incomplete, unbalanced, and unsafe
water supply, considered from the standpoint of both fire risk
and health risk. The water as used during normal conditions
is entirely safe, but this department has made repeated
recommendations for the rehabilitation of the Gwinnett
Station waterworks, since under emergency conditions, the
water from that source is unsafe. Your Health Officer now
again urgently recommends that the plans of the waterworks
department be adopted and the work of improvement begun.
Milk Supply
Of 1794 samples of milk taken from dairies and milk
depots, 640, or 35.7 percent, were of the grade of certified milk,
as regards bacterial count, having less than 10,000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter. One thousand, two hundred thirty-three
(1233) samples, or 68.7 percent, contained less than 50,000
414 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
bacteria per cubic centimeter. One thousand, four hundred
forty-two (1442), or 80.4 percent contained less than 100,000
bacteria per cubic centimeter. One hundred sixty-six (166)
samples, or 9.2 percent, contained over 300,000 bacteria per
cubic centimeter. Fifty-two 'samples only contained over
1,000,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter. Of the samples ex
amined, 1538, or 85.7 percent conformed to the legal standard
for bacterial count. The law allows 150,000 bacteria per cubic
centimeter during the period from April 1st to November 1st
yearly, and only 100,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter in the
period from November 1st to April 1st.
Of 160 samples of cream examined, 126, or 78.8 percent,
contained less than 500,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
Seven specimens, or 4.4 percent, contained over 500,000
bacteria and less than 1,000,000 per cubic centimeter. Sixteen
specimens, or 16.8 percent, contained over 1,000,000 bacteria
per cubic centimeter.
The above results are very good and prove conclusively
that the standards for a safe milk supply have been maintained
during the year. There has been a change in the methods of
marketing milk during the past 3 or 4 years, in that a larger
portion of the supply is marketed through milk depots, and
less through dairies delivering directly to customers. This
makes it more difficult to maintain a close control of milk, and
renders it very desirable to make a change in the method of
classification.
It is recommended that there be three general classes of
milk, each equally suited for the speci al purposes for which the
class is suited. The classes are certified milk, raw market
milk, and pastuerized milk. Raw market milk should be of
two grades, Grade "A" milk to contain less than 50,000
bacteria per cubic centimeter, and Grade "B" milk to contain
less than 100,000 per cubic centimeter. Inasmuch as during
the past year over 68 percent of the supply met the require-
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 415
ments of Grade "A" milk, dairymen would have no difficulty
in meeting these requirements. The suggested method of grad
ing is recommended by the American Public Health Associiation and by the United States Public Health Service.
City Drug Dispensary
The City Dispensary was re-established in June, 1923, and
operated for six months, about 1000 prescriptions being filled
each month at an average cost from Qy to 8 cents per prescrip
tion for medicines, and from 19 to 24 cents for service. An allnight service was maintained, adding substantially to the
expense, until it was evident from the small number of night
calls that a night service was not needed. Since the dis
continuance of the night service, with resulting economy, the
average number of prescriptions has increased to about 1300
monthly, and the total cost per prescription has been from 16
to 20 cents.
The re-estabhshment of the City Dispensary meets a real
need, and supplies medicines to a much larger number of
needy people than the system in use during the past three
years. Any reputable physician in the City has the privilege of
ordering medicine from the City Dispensary for an indigent
patient. There is reason to believe that the medicines supplied
are of better quality, and that there will be a saving of about
$4,000 to the City during the year.
Malaria Control
The work of inspection and oiling has proceeded during
the year under the supervision of Mr. Paul H. Smith. The
control of mosquitoes was almost complete as regards breeding
in public locations. It was practically impossible to find adult
mosquitoes of the Anopheline type in the City Limits during the
year, though attimes young or half grown larvae were found in
ditches in outlying parts of the City. The department attempts
to maintain control of the territory one mile outside of City
416 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Limits. In September and October, owing to the rather free
growth of vegetation in some of the ditches, arsenic dust was
used with good results instead of oil, which does not protect
where vegetation is too abundant. Our best result in tidal
ditches is secured by maintaining the ditches free from vegeta
tion and depending on fish control. On account of the import
ance of this phase of ditching, it is again recommended, as it
has been in the past, that this part of the work be under the
immediate direction of the health department.
It can now be said that malaria is practically exterminated
in the City of Savannah. The cases which do occur are for the
most part certainly of outside origin, and the deaths recorded
are also in many instances of persons coming to Savannah for
treatment; in other instances, the diagnosis is doubtful.
The health officer has had the advantage of the constant
advice of officers of the United States Public Health Service in
this work of malaria control, Mr. H. N. Old, Sanitary Engineer
of the U. S. Public Health Service, and detailed for work in
Chatham County and along the right of way of the Central of
Georgia Railway, has had his office in the rooms of the health
department and has passed on all details of our work. Mr.
Bruce Mayne, Biologist and Sanitarian of the Public Health
Service, has been working in the Municipal ^gienic Labora
tory on some research problems connected with mosquito life.
Rabies
Fifty dogs were brought to the Laboratory in 1923 for
examination, and 29 were found to be infected with rabies,
and 21 negative. For the benefit of those not informed, it may
be stated that the parasite of rabies is now known, and can be
found in the brains of infected dogs, and the method of diag
nosis is exact, the parasites, known as Negri bodies, being
easily found. It may be difficult to find the parasites in the
brains of dogs which have been killed early in the disease, and
on this account the advice is given not to kill dogs suspected
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 417
of having rabies, unless it is necessary to prevent them from
biting people. Dogs suspected of having rabies, should be
confined, and an examination requested of the City Veteri
narian. Persons untrained in observing sick animals are very
apt to be mistaken, considering dogs with simple diseases to
be rabid, and overlooking clear cases of paralytic rabies.
Fifty-nine persons, mostly children, were bitten by the 29
dogs found to be rabid, in some instances one dog having bitten
a large number of people, as many as six. These fifty-nine
persons, in order to be safe from infection, were compelled to
take the Pasteur treatment which was expensive, time-con
suming and troublesome, and not entirely free from pain.
The peculiar nature of rabies is understood only by those
who have made it a special study, but from the time of Pasteur
the main features of the disease have been understood. It has
long been known that only a small fraction, as small as 1 in 15 or
20 of those bitten, develope the disease. But the preventive
action of Pasteur treatment has also been well demosntrated,
since not one in 200 bitten by rabid dogs and afterwards
promptly taking the Pasteur treatment develope hydrophobia.
Early in 1923, an attempt was made to enforce the dog
law, and stamp out rabies in the City. An officer, sworn in as
a police officer, was appointed as dog catcher, and provision
made for the care and disposal of dogs at the City Lot. An
electric dog killer was installed and a humane method of kill
ing dogs without unnecessary pain devised, in fact a painless
method, to replace the formerly used brutal method of killing
dogs with a hammer. The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals donated the use of an ambulance, and
Mr. Lane Jewett, in charge of the City Lot, was made an
officer of the Humane Society, and the work of caring for sick
and injured dogs and other animals added. The health
department had supervision of dogs maintained in quarantine
on account of suspected rabies. The service was maintained
for nine months, during which time 1261 unmuzzled dogs
were caught on the streets. Most of these animals were turned
418 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
over to their owners, and some dogs, unclaimed by their
masters, were placed in good homes. Only the useless, un
claimed dogs, frequently diseased, were disposed of in the
electric killing machine.
The enforcement of the muzzling law for dogs seems to be
very unpopular, and no city government has been willing to
continue enforcement for a sufficient time to eradicate rabies.
At the present time, the department is receiving frequent
requests to examine dogs suspected of rabies, and to examine
heads for Negri bodies. At any time, defenseless children may
be attacked in the streets by a dog furious with the madness of
rabies. Your health officer recommends the enforcement of
the dog muzzling law, the appointment of a dog catcher, to be
maintained until rabies ceases to be prevalent, and the whole
sale vaccination of dogs against rabies.
Hospitals
The reports of the hospitals receiving city patients ac
company this report. It is shown that 2133 city patients were
received during the year for 37,091 hospital days, at a cost of
from 40 cents a day at Charity Hospital, 67 cents a day at the
Georgia Infirmary, to $3.11 a day at the Park View Sanitarium,
and $3.57 per day at St. Joseph's Hospital.
The financial support of the hospital by the city is very
inadequate. Savannah appropriates less money for support of
hospitals than any city in the south eastern part of the United
States. The per capita appropriation of the city for hospitals
and charities in 1920 was only 45 cents, as compared with $1.26
as the average or standard per capita appropriation of cities in
the United States for this purpose. Considering the small
amount of money the city appropriates for the purpose, the
service is good, but candor compels the statement that the
hospital service is very inadequate to the needs of the city.
During the year, it has been at times difficult or impossible to
secure the admission into hospitals of patients who were great-
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 419
ly in need of hospital care. It is strongly urged that addi
tional appropriations be made for this purpose. Not all the
charity patients of the City are admitted by authority of
the City, and the entire cost of hospitalization of indigents
should not be borne by local governments. In accord with
custom in other cities, some part of this cost should con
tinue to be met by private charity.
The City especially needs greater provision for hospitaliza
tion of communicable diseases. The provision for the care of
white patients with communicable diseases is most excellent in
quality, but inadequate for the numbers that need hospitaliza
tion. Except for smallpox there is practically no provision
for the hospitalization of negroes with communicable diseases.
This lack of facilities for the care of patients with infectious
diseases has a decided and unfavorable influence on the
progress of public health in the City.
Swimming Pools
The City operates two outdoor swimming pools. The
pool at Daffin Park is one of the largest in the United States,
containing approximately six and one-half million gallons of
water. During the season, as in past years, the department
has collected weekly samples of water from the pools and made
examinations to determine its sanitary character. In addition
occasional examinations have been made of indoor pools in
various institutions in the City, and of water at bathing resorts
at Tybee and on the tidal rivers. The character of the water
in the City pools has been uniformly better than in any of the
indoor pools, and about the same in sanitary quality as the
water of the salt water bathing places.
The main difficulty with the City pools has been the
growth of plant life, both rooted plants and algae. The
difficulty with rooted plants will be less as the extent of sanded
area is extended over the bottom of the pool. The cost of
sanding the entire pool is too great for completion at the pre-
420 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
sent time. The difficulty with algae has been met by treat
ment with copper sulphate, but on account of the large amount
of water, this method has been too costly. Emptying and
refilling the pools, and treatment with chlorine gas or hypo
chlorite, has given better results, and a recommendation has
been made that additional filling and discharge pipes be in
stalled so that the pool can be emptied and refilled more
quickly, and thus kept in a better sanitary condition. At the
time this report goes to press, this work is in progress and the
people of Savannah may have entire confidence that the pools
will be kept in good condition during the coming summer.
Public Health Nursing Service
The public health nursing service was established in 1920,
but not until March, 1922, was the force sufficient in number
to perform its work in an adequate manner. The year 1923
was, therefore, the first year in which an adequate public
health nursing service was maintained during the entire year.
The educational work of the nurses in child welfare work and
in maternal welfare work cannot be overestimated, though
only a beginning has been made in this work at the present
time. Nurses can also give the most efficient aid in carrying
out concurrent disinfection and maintaining quarantine.
Reference has already been made to the excellent work of the
nurses in a vaccination campaign covering the entire City,
completed in 1923. The following additional notes on the
nursing service are appended.
Venereal Disease Clinic
The City maintains a clinic for the diagnosis and treat
ment of venereal diseases at 105 West Jones Street. This
work is done under the direction of the health officer, with a
public health nurse in charge. The medical work has been
efficiently done by Dr. John Howkins, Chief of Clinic, and
by Dr. J. W. Shearhouse, to whom the acknowledgements
and thanks of the department are due. The total number of
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 421
patients treated at the clinic in 1923 was 6272, and the number
of doses of neosalvarsan furnished by the U. S. Government
for use was 2120. Patients are admitted on order of any
physician in the City. The value of the work of the clinic in
preventing the spread of venereal disease cannot be over
estimated. The Chief of the Venereal Disease Clinic also has
charge of the diagnostic work and treatment at the Women's
Division, City Barracks.
Control of Midwives
In 1922, an ordinance was passed providing for the exami
nation and control of midwives, and authorizing the depart
ment to make rules for the guidance of midwives, who were to
receive instruction in sanitary midwifery, and to be given
permits when qualified. As a result of this work, there has
been a great improvement in midwifery service, especially
among the colored people. A number of persons unfit to do
such work have been refused permits, and those on service are
now to be seen neatly dressed, are provided with means for
maintaining antisepsis, and instructed in the use of such means,
are provided with silver nitrate solution in wax ampoules for
treatment of eyes of infants, and required to provide and use
antiseptic dressings for the cords of infants. For the first time
in 1923, for a full year, every infant in Savannah delivered by
a midwife had prophylactic care to prevent the loss of eye
sight from ophthalmia of the newborn, and to prevent death
from tetanus of the newborn. The results are already apparent
in the reduction of the death rates from tetanus of the newborn.
In 1919, the number of deaths from this cause was 24; in 1920,
the number was 28; in 1921, the number was 27; in 1922, the
year which control of midwives was first begun, but not in
force during the entire year, the number was reduced to 17; in
1923, the number was only 7. This is no coincidence but a
direct result of the use of proper dressings on cords. The
occurrence of tenatus in a newborn baby now means an in-
4_22 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
vestigation, and the possible loss of permit by the midwife. A
similar improvement has occurred in the prevention of inflamation of the eyes in young infants.
Hookworm Campaign
In 1923 a campaign to reduce the incidence of hookworm
infection in the City was begun, and the public health nursing
service used to reach the mothers of families in a campaign of
education, diagnosis, and treatment. The nurses made house
to house visits, explained to the mother the danger of hook
worm infection, distributed specimen outfits for the collection
of specimens, collected the same for examination in the City
laboratory, and finally placed the children under treatment by
their own physicians, or by physicians of the health depart
ment. As a result of this work more children were treated
for hookworm in 1923 than in any previous period of five
years. The work is proceeding at the present time and the
entire City will be covered in 1924. Without the help of the
nursing service, it would be impossible to do this work, which
is a most important measure for child welfare.
Medical School Inspection
Savannah has no regular systematic medical inspection of
school children. The health department assists in the vaccin
ation of school children against smallpox, notifies the Superin
tendent of Schools of the incidence of communicable disease
among school children, and excludes such children and their
non-immune contacts from the schools. In such work, the
public health nursing service is of great help, and the present
organization of this service makes it possible to increase the
work of school supervision at any time. Your health officer
recommends that provision be made for regular medical
school inspection, under the direction of the health department.
No health measure could be undertaken which would do more
good for health of the City.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT Jt23
Volunteer Health Agencies
The need of health education and health work is so great
that it is impossible, for the present at least, to make provision
for these purposes in excess of our needs. For this and other
reasons, the work of the volunteer agencies co-operating in the
health center organization has been a great aid in the extension
of health work in Savannah. The City appropriated $9,415
to aid this work in 1923, and has given increased appropri
ations for 1924, including, on the urgent recommendation of
of the health officer, an appropriation for medical supplies,
dental supplies, and nursing supplies. In addition, the
physicians at the health center clinics have the privilege of
ordering medicines on individual prescriptions from the City
Dispensary for patients treated at the clinics.
Inasmuch as the amount of money expended by these
organizations is over three times the amount appropriated to
their aid by the City, the returns from expenditures are much
in excess of the value estimated from the City's contribution
alone. This is in reference to the financial question only, and
in addition, there is the great advantage of having so large
and enthusiastic a body of workers interested in health
problems.
The health department is co-operating with health center
agencies, and your Health Officer takes this opportunity of
expressing his appreciation of the fine work done by these
organizations. Especially to be commended is the infant
welfare work done by the Margaret Bottome Circle of Knig's
Daughters. The maternal welfare work of the Mary Maclean
Circle also promises to do much to lower the combined puer
peral death rate in white women. The nutrition work done by
the Council of Jewish Women is improving the health of
school children, and is perhaps the most important health work
done in recent years. The distribution of milk by the Mary
Maclean Circle, and the establishment of a Milk Laboratory
424 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
by the Louisa Porter Home, under the direction of Miss
Henrietta Myers, has resulted in a great increase in the use of
milk in children's diet, and been the means of saving many
infant lives.
Financial
The department has been administered with economy
during the year, the total expenditure being $68,934.16, as
compared with $73,035.34 in 1922, a saving of $4,101.18.
The receipts from sale of antitoxin, fees for meat inspection,
fees at City Clinic, etc., were $7,828.71 in 1923, as compared
with $5,000.47 in 1922. The amount used for health and
sanitation purposes in Savannah are adequate, and are larger
relatively, than for any city in the southeastern part of the
United States. The amount per capita of population for health
purposes was 77 cents in 1923, as compared with 66 cents per
capita as the standard or average appropriation for health
purposes in American cities. The City of Savannah practic
ally abandoned the budget system in 1920-1922, and in the
beginning of 1923, the amount which had been set aside for the
budget of the health department, namely $55,000, was not
sufficient to pay the yearly salaries of the officers and employes
of the department as organized on January 1st, 1923. While
financial reports are largely left in the hands of the comptroller,
the following data are presented, since they contain inform
ation desired for health purposes, compiled in a standard
manner, and somewhat different from the schedules of the
Comptroller's Office. These data were compiled during a
recent survey of the health activities of the City, made by
Dr. W. ,S. Rankin, Health Officer of the State of North
Carolina and agent of the American Public Health Associ
ation, and Dr. J. T. Burkhalter, Surgeon of the United States
Public Health Service.

434 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Savannah, Ga., Jan. 10th, 1924.
DR. V. H. BASSETT, Health Officer,
Savannah, Ga.
Dear Dr. Bassett:
On assuming duties as Bacteriologist and Director of
Laboratories the 27th of December, 1923, I find that Dr.
Collins, former Acting City Bacteriologist, had compiled an
annual report with the exception of the work done in December.
This has been added to her report which is submitted as
the Annual Report of all work accomplished in the CityLaboratory during 1923.
Respectfully yours,
JAS. R. BEAN,
Director of Laboratories.
MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT 435
Savannah, Ga., January 1, 1924
DR. V. H. BASSETT, M. D.
Health Officer,
City Hall.
Dear Sir:
I am making the following report which covers the work
of the Municipal Laboratory for the twelve months from
January 1, 1923 to December 31, 1923 inclusive:
Milk
The total number of samples of milk examined during the
year was 2155. Of the samples taken from the daries and milk
depots, 68.7 percent were of Grade A quality, containing less
than 50,000 bacteria per CC; 11.3 per cent were of Grade B
quality, containing more than 50,000, but less than 100,000
bacteria per CC. Eighty-five and seven tenths percent
(85.7%) of samples conformed to the legal standard. Seventy
samples were below the limit of 3.5 percent of butterfat;
eight were deficient in solids not fat, and 29 were deficient in
total solids.
Cream
The total number of samples taken and examined was 191.
All but 30 samples conformed to the bacteriological standard,
and all but 4 samples conformed to the standard for butter fat.
Ice Cream
The total number of samples of ice cream examined was
155. Of these all but 18 contained 8 percent of butiterfat or
more. Most of the samples contained gelatine.
436 MAYOR'S ANNUAL REPORT
Wate'r

Two new Mother and Nurse conferences opened during
year. Mother and Nurse conference and First Aid booth
conducted at Tri-State Fair for one week. Food Show con
ducted at Municipal auditorium for one week. In May and
June Nurses conducted hookworm campaign in West Savan
nah, and northwestern section of City. Also vaccination
campaign of two months, vaccinating all children in private
schools, and employes in all surrounding factories. Vaccin
ated in all pubhc schools week of September 24th, and assisted
Miss Sparks, nutritional worker with weighing of school
children during year.
Relief supplied to white and colored tubercular clinics
for one month each during summer vacations.
Two nurses resigned during year, two appointed. Acting
Chief Nurse attended annual meeting of the Georgia State
Association of Graduate Nurses in Atlanta, Nov. 28th.
Fourteen nutritional classes attended at Health Center
and twelve educational meetings attended.
In conclusion, I would like to mention two ways, in my
opinion, by which the nursing service may be made more
beneficial to the public and the health of the city improved.
First, by having the nurses do more sanitary inspections in the
home, and secondly, by having health inspections in the public
schools, with follow up work in the homes. This would prob
ably reduce the number of contagious diseases to a minimum,
at least among the school children.
Respectfully submitted,
LILLIAN E. SACK, R. N.

January 1st, 1924.
DR. V. H. BASSETT,
Health Officer,
City Hall.
Dear Sir:
Submitted herewith is a review of the larvacide work for
the season of 1923, which begun March 1st and closed Decem
ber 1st, 1923.
Catch basins inspected and treated during the season were
20,186. Fire protection barrels, inspected in various sheds
and along the river front were 6,319. Investigations made at
private homes on complaints during the season were 176.
Investigations were made of four steam boats and twenty-six
lighters during August. Complaints referred to other bureaus
were thirteen. Gas consumed by Ford truck D. P. W. 11 was
315 gallons. Engine oil, 12 gallons.
Mosquito breeding was much lighter in fire protection
barrels during the past season than in previous years, due to
treating the barrels with lime, no doubt. Data on file in this
office show that the culex mosquito predominated during the
season and that the private homes furnished the bulk of breed
ing. Mosquito oil purchased for the purpose of spraying in
the street, catch basins and general oiling during the season
was 3,400 gallons. Territory covered by the larvacide force
was approximately 342 square miles.
The larvacide force consisted of one foreman and three
laborers. During the season, it was found necessary to employ
one extra laborer for a period of sixteen weeks.
Yours very truly,
PAUL H. SMITH,
Investigator Malaria Control.
