The Democratic press are Boosting
that of the S350,000 appropriated by
congress to defray the expenses of the
sinternational naval review that recently
took place in New York harbor. only
$40, 500 was expended. and note it as
evidence of the strict economy prac-
ticed 10y the present Democratic admin
iStration. This is equivalent to DENYING
a theft before being accused. If the ad-
mlnlstratlon did tins marvellous thing, it
certainly does not claim to have done
more than lis plain duty.

How Young Redwoods Grow.

In the redwood district forty-eight
mills are at work cutting the logs into
boards or shingles, while new mills are
being started and old ones increasing
their capacity. To supply these mills
requires the destruction annually Of
trees representing nearly / .069. 600 600
feet of lumber, board measure. The
entire amount of standing redwood IS
estimated at from 30 900 900 900 to So
Gee Geo 900 feet. As the rate of con
sumption is annually increasing il is
evident that ere many years redwood is
likely 10 become scarce. unless il can
be successfully cultivated and the sup
ply in native forests conserved. One
element that favors preservation is the
fact that the cutting q tire tree docs

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-02-21

that the east road running along side the
Board of Trade shall be continued. 1t
has now only one main road entering the
city and its freight business to the fruit
dealers on Dyer street will be injured un-
less there is some means Of reaching
them by railroad.
Ii therefore proposes TO build switch
line across the river just above the Craw-
ford street bridge, as indicated by the
dotted line in the illustration. The plan
contemplates also the extension of the
present line down Dyer street aud Eddy
street to Globe street, where connection
will be made with the harbor junction
line.
AS soon as that line is completed, all
freight that comes from New York by
rail can be brought into the city by the
west branch of the belt line, which will
be in running order as soon as the double
lines of through tracks can be completed.
The ultimate result OF the plan will be
to utilizs the East Providence branch AS
an entrance for all freight that is to be
delivered along South Water street as
both the eastern and western entrance to
tide water in the center Of the city with
out crossing Market square. aud entirely
doing away with the string teams at
that point.
The term for which the ordinance
grants permission To use the proposed
switch is three years, which virtually
commits the petitioners. the New York,
New Haven and Hartford, to a promise
To complete its facilities by that time.
