NEWS SUMMARY.

The military engineers who have
been studying the various phases OF
the great Goat Island problem are OF
conflicting opinions as to what
should be done about it's occupancy
General Humphrey favors the relin
quishment of twenty-eight acres OF
the island for commercial purposes
while, on the other hand Gen. Barn
ard thinks that the whole island
should be fortified. The associated
press agent at New York makes the
government engineers say that the
occupancy Of Goat Island " for com
mercial purposes - which means by
the G.. p. r. r. would result in the
building up of city in the middle
of the bay which, in time of war,
would be easily fired and more
bosh to the like effect. Why will
these over anxious anti Goat Island
ers persist in advancing such prepos-
ferrous tlummery in support of their
opposition? We suspect the sound
ness of any position that is bolstered
up by such unadulterated fudge as
all this talk of a rival city on that
bleak wart of waste real estate.
