William Randolph Hearst, prophet

from the State of NewYork and would.
be candidate for the presidency on the
Democrat ticket, recently addressed
an audience in Camden. Because oil
that fact, the Post-Telegram, of that
city, argues that Hearst might, after
all, be nominated for president because
a few months before his nomination,
Bryan also appeared in Camden and
made o speech. He was little known
then but John J. CrandaIl, who heard
the western orator, predicted that he
would, sometime. be nominated. Now
Crandall predicts that Hearst will be
nominated. This argument is based on
the fact that history sometimes repeats

Real Estate dealers predict a good
season. That is what we are looking
for. The statement that factories are
kept away from Perth Amboy by the
high price of land, is doubtless true.
This city has suffered from that same
cause since it was founded. It was
the effort made on the part of the in
habitants to restrict trade in this port
for the benefit of the few settlers that
drove commerce to New York in the
colonial DAYS. When the city woke up
and repealed the measures imposing
the tax on exports, it was too late, for
the port of New York was then well
established. There is no doubt that
the greater part of the trade would
have eventually gone to New York,
but Perth Amboy would have been o
far greater port than it is today had
the people been more liberal. This
same germ seems to BIZ still in the air
to some extent, although. of late. lib
eral offers have been made and the
city greatly protited tn 'reby.

The sea wall was completed the last

were erected at the foot of fremont
street, to commemorate the completion
Of the wall, and the monuments were
unveiled Monday The Galveston sea
wall represents one Of the finest pieces
Of engineering work Of any kind ever
accomplished in America The wall Is
II 1893 feet long, is feet wide at the
base, iiye feet wide at the top, and
stands Il feet above mean low tide
with a granite riprap apron extending
N feet out on the gulf side. The con-
tract price Of the wall was 81 1913, S1S.
The actual construction of the wall
prope- consumed one year, four
months and seventeen days
The grade of the city is now to be
raised to slope gradually from the top
of the sea wall. This will necessitate
a raising of the grade of from one to
fifteen feet, according to location. For
this purpose the state of Texas has
donated all state taxes collected in
Galveston county for q period OF is
years. Bonds to the amount Of ST.
100000 are to be issued for this pur-
pose. A contract has been let for
the grade raising work.
Under the terms Of the contract a
canal is to be dug on the inside Of the
sea wall. which will permit the en-
trance Of hopper dredges, loaded with
sand taken from the channel in the
bay, to come in and discharge the
filling to the required depth. The
work is now under way. The last ses-
sion of congress provided for an ex-
tension of the Galveston county sea
wall to protect Fort Crockett for a
distance of 600 feet to the west. This
will extend the wall to Fifty-fifth
street, so that the city of Galveston
on the gulf side will be protected by
sea wall the full extent of its incorpo-
rate limits.
