Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1891-12-12
Hon. Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia,
was nominated as Speaker OF the U.
s. House of Representatives, on the
thirtieth ballot, last Monday.

The road convention which meets
here next Wednesday, it is to be
hoped, will be well attended by dele
gates from every section of the coun-
tv. 1t is question which calls for
thoughtful and intelligent considera-
ton, if we would secure a road law
ADEQUATE to our needs and which will
not impose upon us greater burdens
than we are able to bear. That a
change in our road law is needed no
one will question, but it is equally
true that it is better that it should
remain as it is. rather than the wild
and visionary schemes of some should
prevail. To frame a road law, which,
while not conforming to the narrow
minded views OF some, will at the
same time place restraints upon the
visionary schemes OF others, is be-
yond doubt, the duty demanded OF
us. when we shall meet in convention
to consider the question. TO that
end therefore. let delegates be select
Ell, who while willing to keep pace
with the progress of the times, will
not at the same time be un,nindful
of the burdens to be imposed and let
not only regularly appointed dele
gates be in attendance. The conven-
ton will be open TO every citizen,
ard everyone who will. can partici-
pate and have IN equal part in shap-
ing its proceedings. Our county
Judge has signitied his willingness to
attend and give us the benefit of his
experience. and may we not hope
that Others equally as interested as
lie is. will be willing to initiate his
example. and give us the benefit Of
their counsel also on the occasion,

Pensions for Life Savers.

AsoURY PARK, n. j., December c.
Congressman Springer Will probably
introduce bill this week providing
for an increase of the salaries of the
men engaged i'll the life saving ser
vice, and ]cgalizing the payment of
reasonable pensions for life to the
members of the crews who become
permanently disabled while in the
discharge OF their duties. The bill will
also provide that the families of life
savers killed at wrecks shall receive
an annual pension to help support
and educate their children.
Rev. S. Edward Young, the pastor
of the Westminster Presbyterian
Church at this place, is deeply inter
ested in this movement for the relief
OF the worthy servants OF the public.
and has spent considerable time and
money in presenting the matter to
Congressman. He has received letters
from a large number Of the members
of both branches of the National
Legislature, all of whom give the
movement their unqualified support.
Mr. Young has also secured the active
cooperation Of Census Commission
er Porter, Mrs. Sunset Cox, Mrs. John
a. Logan, General Superintendent
kimball, of the service, and the
superintendent of the twelve dis
tricts protected by the crews.
A monster petition will accompany
the bill signed by prominent people
from all sections of the country.
President Harrison is deepl;. interest
ed in the movement, and is expected
to refer to it in his message. The
salaries of the life savers only aver
age about $500 a year, and they are
compelled to purchase their own uni
forms and pay for all medical exami-
nations. They are only employed
eight months in the year and are cx-
