POWER HOUSE.
Report That Union R. R. Co.
viii Build One Near Fields Pt.

Rumor says that the Union Railroad
company will build an extensive power
plant at Sassafras Point. about third
OF a mile from the sewage treating works
on the city property al Fields Point.
The railroad company recently secured
options on rs acres OF land controlled by
the Amos d. Smith estate This land
extends TO the harbor line where a pier
can be easily constructed, thereby af-
fording the best OF facilities for handling
coal quickly and economically.
The site of the proposed power house
Is opposite the Sassafras Point light
house. 1t Is understood that work will
be commenced upon IL as soon as the
deeds are signed.
1t was originally intended TO enlarge
the plant on Eddy street, but because
the total available property there did
not exceed three acres IL was finally de-
cided to secure new site,
Then again, the soft ana muddy soil on
Eddy street will not bear heavy loads,
and piles are absolutely necessary. Bor-
ings have been made On Sassafras Point
by competent engineers, and they have
found "A gravel soil well adapted TO bear
ing up heavy weights despite the fact
that the land Is on tidewater.
The company will probably save $780,
900 by the elimination OF tiles and the
lower price OF land. This Is also an Inn
portant feature In the choice OF land.

formerly close friends.

Hyde remarked during a heated discus
sion that Il was a noticeable fact that
the grass on the grave of the late Deacon
Joshua Haley, son OF Clerk Haley, had
not been cut.

he learned OF the deacon's remark he
visited him and demanded retraction.

let loose right swing, which foored
the deacon. The latter got up TO meet
a left hook from Haley. which knocked
him down again. Then Deacon Albert
Gates, of the Baptist church, interfered
and kept the two men apart.
