Brunswick, Ca. July IDEALS involving
over quarter million dollars have been
consummated within the past few days

and corporations in Brunswick and New
York city has beeen transferred to the
Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad. The
immediate result of this transfer which
includes twelve acres of ground in the
city limits exclusive of half mile addl-
tional water front and a large area Of
marsh land will be the digging Of one
slip Immediately $500 feet long and $40
feet wide for the accommodation OF ves-
sels $500 feet of wharfage, several large
storage warehouses for turpentine, cotton
and other commodities and lumber docks
reaching back from the docks over the
marsh land for good distance. Con-

workmen.
President Machen arrived to-day from
New York and while neither confirming
nor denying the facts as stated, he says
that the company has hardly commenced
the work they have planned out.
The impetus given so far to
local trade by the money spent
to date will receive a tremendous boost
from the new contracts. Already the
Downing Company and others are build
ing big naval store yards and warehouse
ON the property adjoining, which has lain
practically idle for many years, and en-
couragement has been lent to every bust
ness by the money turned loose by the
Brunswick and Birmingham. Bruins
wick has the best chance now to go for
ward that she has had in years, and
the people are happy over the outlook
They will be more so when this dispatch
is read and they learn of the new deals
Just consummated.
