Big TRACTION PROJECT
Unique Scheme to Improve
Beach 1T Atlantic City.
ELECTRIC LINE ON OCEAN FRONT.

Syndicate Proposes Il Build New
Board walk, VITA T~roIIeys Under
neasn-st Will De TEN Miles LonE.
New Promenade TO Extend, wlaen
Finished. From she Eniet 40 Long
pert.
The n8ost ambitious scheme for the
development Of a seaside resort ever at
tempted. in the United States Mt least,
Is taking shape at Atlantic City, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. 1t is backed
By a syndicate OF railroad men, and.
inferentially. by the Pennsylvania
railroad. 1t has for its object the soiu-
don Of the rapid transit problem along
the ocean front and the development
Of the beach front all the way from
the Inlet to Longport.
The present scheme Is to suspend cleo
trio cars from the steel Orders Of the
board walk and operate them by means
of the single rail system. This plan
would obviate the chief objection to a
transportation line along the beach
front from the fact that it would nell
Their interfere with a view Of the ocean
from the promenade or the beach front
hotels nor obstruct access to the bath
ing grounds from the lighthouses.
These considerations have blocked NIL
previous plans for transportation facil-
tiles on the ocean front, because all OF
them interfered more or less with the
view or travel Il the beach. To over
come these objections and to put the
present plan into execution would re-
quire the elevation of the board walk
from four to six feet. In other words,
an entirely new board walk would have
to be built throughout its length of five
miles. This the syndicate would un-
dertake to do, In addition to extending
it to Longport. a total distance of ten
miles.
The promoters of the traction enter
prise propose taking this contract from
the city and building the promenade
on a line TO be agreed upon by the city
authorities and the property owners.
The new structure will be built Of mas
sive steel pillars, and the walk will be
eighty feet in width, and probably 100
feet in the congested district in the VI
cinity of the big ocean piers. The cleo
trio line will be double tracked from
the Inlet to Chelsea and single tracked,
with switchouts, from that point to
Longport.
The syndicate will also build at least
four immense hotels-one at Chelsea.
one a ventnor, another at South At
lantic and the fourth at Longport.
Cottages and villas will also be erected
along the entire line Of the road.

\ Friend speak. IN Glowing Terms OF
the Late u. Nelson vfsner.
We acknowledge our inability to do
Justice to the subject we have under
taken but the strong ties of friendship
urges us onward with the maxium.
Never desert q friend, though inky
clouds gather round aud the tempos
tuous sea of life nav rage with all It's
power. While disaster and destruction
are almost in view, when strong men
are paralyzed with fear, aud tremb-
ling, a friend is then in need, one who
will neither leave or forsake, but rem
der what comfort and consolation is
in their power to do until the Jordan
of death has been crossed and the wea-
ry soul has returned to the God who
gave it.
j. Nelson Wisner was a. broad mind
ed man, one who had by continuous
application to the study of his profess
sion assembled the hill of knowledge
until he reached the pinnacle, kind and
generous, especially to those OF med
crate means they will feel the loss
keenly. The public has lost a brilliant
and scholarly man, the city has lost
a man who in years past was devoted
to the u~pbuilding of it's many enter
prises and industries, the writer has
lost a most valued and esteemed friend
and advisor a friendship covering near
lv forty wears, which was an unbroken
chain we will always cherish him in
our memory.
He may have had faults, who of us
are without them, the echo comes back
who In our association with him
we cver found him honest truthful,
Kind and genial, a manly man large
hearted and ALWAYS ready to render aid
to his fellow man. In his last illness
he uttered 40 complaint, not a muir

pleasant smile and kind answers 60
whatever question we propounded.
But he has taken his departure and
Oh how sad TO see the vacant chair
never again TO be filed by our dear
friend. Let us hope hat his diving
eyes read a mystic meaning only the
rapt and parting soul may know. Let
us believe that in the silence of the re-

breaking on a farther shore, and felt
already anon his wasted brow the

HON. JOSEPH A DeBOER,
Who is Receiving Much Press Commentator
as Possible Gubernatorial Candidate.

Accompanying its Montpelier letter,
! the Springfield Republican, Saturday,
1 printed a portrait of Joseph A. DeBoer.
who seems TO be winning favor all
around as possible candidate for the
next governor of Vermont If his nom
ination should be secured, it would be
a tribute from the people to manliness
and ability and not, as is sometimes
the case, to custom or policy. The Re-
publican correspondent says of him:
mo movement has been placed in
motion to make Joseph a. DeBoer the
candidate, but the mention of his name
has elected warm commentator from
the newspapers and public men of the
state. Mr.. DeBoer is a young man, the
head of the National Life Insurance
company, a man of legislative exper-
fence, interested in public affairs and
thoroughly competent to fill the posi-
ton with credit and distinction. Mr..
DeBoer is a native of Holland. but ed
ucated in this country, where he has
lived from childhood He came to
Montpelier as principal of the high
school, but soon left that position to
become actuary of the National Life
Insurance company, position which
was created especially for him. To his
painstaking care, high ability and
thorough methods is due much of the
remarkable progress that company has
made in recent years, and Mr.. DeBoer
is recognized as one of the leading in
surance men of the country. He has
been active in political life, though
never seeking honors, and has served
one term as senator from Washington
county. He is by far the ablest man
yet named for the place, and if he
should consent to the use of his name
it is believed that his nomination |
might easily be secured. The only !
thing likely to operate against it is /
that while he is in no sense a candi- /
date of the ring, being a man of too I
great independence of thought and /
yet he would be regarded as
the machine candidate, and also the fact /
that he was active in securing the
election OF William P. Dillingham; as
United States senator, and may have
aroused some animosities at that time
which his candidacy would afford an
for gratifying

Two Extremes of Lawlessness.

Rev. DR.. Avery, Baptist minister of
St. Adams admits that he called the
present law "a damnable law'' while
speaking in his church last Sunday
and added that it should not have
fair trial and that Eve will not give 1t
a fair trial. :" 1t is hard to say which is
the more harmful spirit of lawlessness
with which the community has to deal ::
that exhibited in these remarks or the
gross and brutal extreme which showed
itself in the spasm of "drunks' i'm
mediately following the opening of the
liquor traffic under the new law. One
is the mental narrowness of hair: the
other the vast breadth of nothingness.
Oh, for the establishment and cultiva-
tion of happy medium of reasonable
ness! Why, we accord even murderer
a fair trial.

BRArrLEBoRo, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1908


With the greatly enlarged area OF free
delivery came slight unpleasantness
in some districts between farmers and
the postal authorities. The farmers
complied to the best of their ability with
the regulation which required them to
nut up suitable mail receptacles at
their own expense. But the postal au-
thorities objected to the style OF boxes
furnished by the farmers for their own
use. They were declared to be "un-
dignified and disreputable,' and rural
reuters were notified that they must
purchase such receptacles as were die
tated by the postal authorities, under
penalty of being cut off from the bene-
fits of free delivery. This action APP
peared arbitrary to rural jewellers, out
tbera was no recourse and they had to
submit.
The recent overhauling of the post
office department is likely to throw
some light upon this matter One high
official who has been dismissed from
the service, is under Indictment for re-
ceiving a bribe from the patentee OF a
mail box fastener, and there is strong
presumption of collision between the
makers of the favored styles of recep-
tacles and some of the postal ofilclals
having control of rural free delivery
If this is proved, the only adequate rep
aration that can be made is the pur-
chase by the government of all the mall
boxes which have been forced by arpl-
trary official power upon the receivers
of mail by rural free delivery. There
has never been any obvious reason why
they should be compelled to furnish
mail receptacles at their own expense
while the government supplied them
freely to the cities and villages. If this
against country dwellers
has been the means of oppression and
robbery, there is all the more reason
for abolishing it.

Burlington's New Mayor stirs Things Up

Mayor James +. Burke, who was de-
clared by the supreme court last week
to have been elected chief magistrate
of Burlington, and who has just taken
his office, Saturday began an investi-
CATION of the police department. He
claims that the department, as at pres
ent constituted, is a great expense up
on the taxpayers, and is of no value.
He notified two officers named Coon,
who are brothers, that they are sus-
pended pending an inquiry. Then he
wrote to Chief of Police Edward f.
Brownell to the effect that charges had
been preferred against him and giving
him an opportunity to hand in his res
ignation. The chief replied that he
would not resign, but would face. all
charges. Mayor Burke suspended the
chief on receipt of the answer. The
latter detied the mayor, and the mayor
issued his own orders as acting chief
of police. The force is obeying the
mayors orders Mayor Burke claims
that certain police officers were too ac-
tive in politics in the recent munich
pal campaign. BY the rules in force
police officers are forbidden to take
part in politics.
