WORK WILL BEGIN TO-DAY

On Laying New Heavy Rails on Church
 Street and Whitney Avenue.
 c. w. Blakeslee & Sons the contrac- tors, who have the contract for laying the new tracks on Whitney avenue and Church street and of laying the brick pavement about to be put down there by the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company, will begin this morrl- ing the work of laying new rails The work will begin at Church street at the corner of Chapel. It is expected that between forty and fifty men will be put on at once and this number will be greatly increased as soon as the spe-t cial work at the corner of Elm and i. Church streets is finished.
 The new rails to be laid are T rails "A pounds to the yard in 60 foot lengths with heavy 33-inch fish plates. The new rails will be supported by heavy chesnut ties laid 2 feet 3 inches apart. The rails will be double banded at the joints with % copper rail bands The rails are from the Lorraine Steel com- pany Lorraine, o.
 Tle double curves at the corner of Elm and Church streets will be laid with all the wearing portions, of the switches, mates and frogs inlaid with harveyized steel plates which should re- move all poundngs and noise from passing cars.
 After the work of track laying is completed a concrete foundation with sand cushion will be laid to hold the brick pavement, which has been ordered by the common council as condition of permission to the railroad company to lay double tracks through Whitney avenue. This pavement must be laid between the rails and two feet outside Experts say that the brick in the two feet outside the tracks will soon be crowded out of place by passing teams unless the balance of the street is paved by the city to back up the railroads pavement It is generally thought that it would have been much wiser not to lay the two feet outside of the rails un- til the city Is ready to back it up.
 The double tracking will extend from Chapel street to the city line, from which point a single track will be laid with the new heavy rails as far as Days boathouse at Lake Whitney. It is ex- pected that the work will be all com- pleted by June 1.

MAY DREDeE THE BEACH.
Secretary Root Says Permits VIII Be
Granted to All who Ask.

Secretary Root Says Permits VIII Be
Granted to All Who Ask.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-Secretary
Root made brief statement to the press
at the war department in regard to the
action Of the department in granting
licenses to ~prospectors to dredge the
water front of Cape Nome, Alaska, IN
their search for gold. He admitted that
one or two such licenses had beenissued,
butto whom he did not remember, as it
was in the regular routine of the de-
partment. There were about a dozen
more applications of the kind on file
and they will be granted. The secre-
tary explained that his authority in the
matter was based upon the statutes giy-
ing the war department. jurisdiction
over the nayigable waters of the United
States.
Under the law no one could have done
any dredgingson the water front of
Cape Nome, within a three-mile limit
without theautherity Of the war depart
ment. This authority, the secretary
said, had been granted in several in
stances because it was shown the pro-
poseddredging of sand would not inter
fere with navigation or the riparian
rights Of owners of adjacent territory.
The particular character Of the sand to
be dredged did not enter into the con
sideration of the case at all. The
secretary said further that any n was
privileged to dig for gold in
the open sea, and the only question
considered by the war department
was whether such operations conducted
within the three-mile limit were an in
reference with navigation or an in
fringement on the right of others.
When these conditions were complied
with, the department. was prepared to
grant permission to any one to dig in
the beach at Cape Nome or elsewhere at
any points lying within three miles of
low water mark.
Although he did not go into detail,
Secretary Root made it clear that the
privileges in questions were free to all
responsible persons and no discrimina-
ton had been intended in the cases that
had been acted upon.
