pushing the wireless telegraphy expert

sixteen wires each and 140 feet in iength
From these cylinders it is expected to
cover magnetic field of not less than
5OO miles. The stations now in operation
are at Hatteras and at Roanoke Island, In
the Pamlico Sound, N. c. Workmen are
beginning the construction of station at
Cape Henry, which will be the third sta
ton When this is finished the two re-
mote stations will be 127 miles apart. The
eminent telegraph line, but this line will
be abandoned on the completion of the

This measure provides for the raising of

The commissioners presented a formal

The President gave the committee near

their statements. He said he did not feel
like exercising his authority for calling
an extra session of the house of delegates,
but would recommend that the executive
council use the utmost leniency in enforc-
ing the provisions of the tax law. The
members of the commission hope to see
