II Port Townsend cOul3 have been
satisfied with a custom house too
small for her needs, she would have a
fine building az the present time. but
a large huiitiing Is needed and DELAY
OF a few more weeks Is unavoidable.
The government has.not been stingy
with Port Townsend. and the reason a
new custom house huildngiis not now
under construction. IS that the people
changed their minds about what they
wantei; OF. more strictly speaking,
circumstances changed which re1ui. ed
wide modification IN the plans. First.
there Was an appropriation OF $4,000
for the rev custom HOUSE: then an
additional appropriation Of SO 90
finally another appropriation OF $Ss.-

Ia looking over the above il Viii be
noted that while the amount OF bust

increased, the number OF vessels en-
tering and clearing has slightly dimin-

statement, hut by turning 10 the
amount Of the tonnage Of the vessels
entering and clearing in isSs the
sought-for explanation is found. Ii is
that small craft has been displaced by
larger vessels. Hence the decrease in

Georgia's colored people are making 2 good record for thrift and industry. In 1879 their property was valued at s, 182,. 398, but last year the. valuation was $S,. 939, ,479, showing a gain of 723 per cent. during the nine years. In the same time the valuation of white mems property has risen from 1928, TIT, 15Osto $332, 565, ,442, g gain of only A per cent. approximate ly.
