While the contemplated improvements

which have already been begun, are
hailed with delight by most OF the in

The people living on the Marina fear
that within few days or weeks time
they will be turned off the land and all

The news has not been confirmed at the
navy yard, but 1t is limited that the au-

houses have been built, and thousands
of people live in them. The question,
arises, where will all these
people go when the land is seized?
Several committees have called on the,
