4 "nIG Err MN THAN GRANT"


Wilmington Has To Disagree with Uncle
Sam in Regard to Some Minor Details.
At the meeting of the Street and
Sewer Department on Tuesday the con
tractor for the paving work at the new
Federal building asked for permission
to lay granite block wagon way across
the pavement entrance at Shipley and
Orange streets. The directors replied
that a rough block granite crossing,
such as the one proposed, would spoil
the sidewalks on both streets and make
bad pavement for persons to walk
over.
Some days ago Street Commissioner
McCloskey was passing that point when
he noticed the government men COM
mencing to lay rough granite block
way where the sidewalk crosses. He
demonstrated with the person in charge
and told him it is against the city de.
partment law for anyone to pave a
wagon way across u sidewalk without
permission from the city and that even
when such permission were granted
the law required that two rows OF
dressed tagging be laid for footways.
The boss representing Uncle Sam re-
piled that the building is being put up
by the government and that the city has
nothing to do with it.
"rhe government is big man." Com
missioner McCloskey replied, "but
Uncle Sam has no rights outside of the
building line and he must obey the law
the same as the next man."
Ii was this little interview that called
forth the request referred to and the
order of the city department.

HOME INDUSTRIES.

The Gilroy AdUocdte notes the progress
the Santa Cruz County Fruit-growers'
Union is making in the development Of
the fruit industry. The union has this
year erected drier close by the Southern
Pacific Railroad. which will enable 1t
to dispose of the surplus of fresh fruit
whenever one shows itself. Then dried
products will be shipped in cars direct Tor
the Eastern market. The location selected
is about three miles north of Gilroy. at
point accessible from Santa Cruz Monterey
and San Benito counties. Next year
cannery, provided witt all the modern ap-
paratus for preserving fruit by this pro-
cess, will be ready for operations. BY
such enterprise as this the fruit OF Califor-
MIA will be introduced into the markets of
the world. The labor required to convert
the raw material as it comes from the or
chard into the finished product as 1t goes
from the drier to the cannery will go a
long way toward the furnishing of employ
ment TO our people as remuDerative as
that the great factories furnish the Eastern
cities. Every such enterprise is step
toward the time when there will be work
for all willing hands. When that time
comes agitatOrs who propose to lead 5000
or more able bodied men out of the State
will find their occupation gone.
