SATURDAY. JANUARY 16, 1892
Entered at the Postoflice ct Accoma'
C. H., Va, as second-class matter.

The road law drafted at q meeting
held at Accomac C. f., on the 9Th,
synopsis of which was published IN
our last issue, does not seem to be &C
ceptable to all the people of Accomac,
and it is doubtfulif q majority OF the
voters of the county would favor its
adoption. One feature, ct least, APP
pears to be so Objectionable, that
hardly doubt exists that it would
be defeated if submitted to popular
vote, to wit, the clause requiring four
days labor or a tax of two dollars on
all male persons over IS and under 81
years That clause modified on the
other hand in accordance with the
popular demand, creates a deficiency
in the road revenues, and the CUES
ton then recurs, can property bear
further taxation? The majority
of property holders would likely de
eide in the negative. "Here,s~+6s.H
rub and such the dilemma, in which
the delegates who are to meet in
convention on the 3rd of February,
will find themselves, and the query
is pertinent, what are they going TO
do about it: That roads cannot be
built without money is a self evident
proposition-but if neither capital or
labor will submit to the burdens i'm
posed for raising it, then only two
things remain for consideration, TO
Wit, to continue the same old system
of road making which has existed
here from time immemorial or to Dor
row money on long time bonds pay
able on easy instruments as suggest
ed by Judge Gillet, and endorsed by
Mr.. Parsons. Which method fellow
citizens will you endorse? You speak
through the delegates selected in
your precinct meetings, and their ac-
ton should be final An annual cap
itation tax of 81, and borrowed mon
ev on long time bonds seem to point
to the solution of the knotty prob
lem.

asserts belief that the waters of the North
Pacific ocean and Bering sea and all
products TO be found in those waters
should be as free as the waters of the
North Atlantic. 1t respectfully asks that
some action be taken by congress

upon American territory; that the pro-
ducts of the sea be declared free and open

petition was only one OF e series of simi-

importance. He moved that 1t be referred

it was so referred.

The Pacific Coast Gun Factory Bill.

The Pacific Coast Gun Factory Bill.
WASHINGTON CRY, March S.--The Senate
committee on coast defenses has made a
! report to accompany the bill reported last
week. The committee says that in view
OF the difference of opinion existing as to
the exact place on the Pacific coast where
the gun factory should be located, the
committee is of the opinion that its loca-
ton should be left to the decision OF q
board of competent experts to be ap-
pointed by the president as provided for
In the bill. 1t appears from the statement
of the chief of ordnance that if there
should be no large establishment of this
kind on the Pacific coast there will be need
OF two small establishments for repairs,
one to be located at Benicia. CAL, and the
other further north on the Columbia river
or on Puget sound. The bill appropriates
81 ZOO 900 for the erection of suitable build
ings, the purchase of suitable machinery
and other materials.

The factory will be for the finishing and as
sembling OF heavy ordnance. Whist we propose
to do is TO manufacture material for the guns,
rough finished This material is to be tested
and then put together by the government. 1t
does not depend SO much on the preparation as
on the contract. The ordnance committee has
recommended certain guns to be placed for the
protection of Atlantic and Pacific ports OF
that number certain proportion will, of
course. come to this Coast. We want to see our
productive resou ces put on the same plane as
those OF the Atlantic, and have gone into busi-
ness on that line. The steel which we propose
to manufacture for the new guns will
be the Siemens-Martens open-hearth steel. The
making of Zig guns requires tho best kind
OF steel, and the material has to be very care

converting the fuel into gas. We have the metal
right here, free from sulphur and phosphorus

shall have no difficulty in handling all the crude
product that comes to US. The steel castings
obtained from the Pacific rolling mills have
been superior in quality and physical condition
to those obtained from the East. As to the
facilities at Benicia, / will say that tha. place
possesses all the facilities fo- the making and
assembling OF guns. There is plenty OF water
