SPECIFICATIONS
FOR THE PAVING
BEING IGNORED
LEARNED THAT BRICK, CURBING
AND PIPE ARE NOT Uk TO
REQUIREMENTS
1t is Asserted by Those Who Know
That the Contractors Are Supplying
an Inferior Grade and That Some
thing Should Be Done Immediately.

SO many complaints have been made
recently concerning the paving now
going on in Brunswick, that The News.
hearing of these. has made an inves-
tigation, and, after questioning peo-
Pie in position to know, those who
are familiar with the manufacture of
paving material, it has been learned
that the specifications calling for the
paving OF Newcastle street are being
almost entirely ignored, and before
the work has progressed too far some
steps should be taken by the city TO
remedy this situation.
Neither the brick, the curl ing, nor
the pipe recently used in the new
drain are up to the specifications, ac-
cording to information secured by The
News from those in position % know.
The specifications under which the
contracts for this work was awarded
are as follows:
Curbing.
"The curb is to be dressed on top
with one eighth inch pitch towards
the gutter, six inches deep on me
face and three inches deep on The
ack and jointed on ends twelve inch
es down from the top. No curb is to
lie less than three feet in length
Quarter circles for the corners will
be dressed same as straight, curb, etc.
Vitrified Brick.
'The brick are not to be less than
eight nor more than nine inches long,
not less than two and one-half nor
more than three inches wide not less
than four and 0ne-half inches deep
Said brick shall be of a kind known
as 'repressed brick and shall be re-
pressed to produce a mass free from
flaws, cracks or other laminations. All
brick must be regular in shape and
size and of the best quality, equal in
all respects to the samples submit
ted at the time of awarding the con-
tract When subjected to the stan
dard rattler test adopted by the Am
erican Brick Manufacturers associ-
alton, the loss from abrasion shall
not exceed 20 per cent, etc.
Drain Pipe.
All pipe to te of grade known
as standard vitrified sewer pipe, sam
pies of which must be submitted with
the proposals, and all pipe is to be
of the same grade as the samples
From an authority on curbing and
brick, it is learned that they do not
come up to the specifications in any
particular. AS to the vitrified drain
pipes they are of an inferior grade
and not up to the sample submitted.
The percentage of breakage was large
and when test was made between
this pipe and a piece of concrete pipe
manufactured at home the former was
found wanting as the concrete pipe of
home manufacture stood a pressure
of over half ton more, and yet the
home factory was not even given q
chance to bid.
The work Of paving IL now well un-
derway, and if 1T is o fact, and It GER
tainly seems one, that the specifca-
tions are not being complied to, then
the city authorities should take steps
at once and require the contractors TO
give the people of Brunswick Just
what they called for in the specifica-
tons

Liquor Legislation at Augusta.

At the morning session of the House Tues
day the Staples bill for the unconditional re-
peal of the Sturgis law, which was defeated in
the Senate last week. passed by vote of
IA to 50. Mr.. Peters, of Ellsworth, endeavored
to amend it by providing that the repeal
shouldn't become operative until it had been
ratified by vote of the people at special
election. The amendment was defeated rs to
So.
The Hastings amendment to the constitution,
making jail sentences mandatory in liquor
cases, together with the two supplementary
bills effecting illegal possession and maintain

ill fame, went through without voice being
raised in protest These measures have al,
ready received passage in the Senate and will
now go to the governor for his approval. There
is some intimation that the Governor may veto
the Hastings bill.
The House and Senate are in disagreement
as to the Sturgis law, the House, IA to 81,
having repealed that famous measure, the
Senate, a few days ago, having by vote of 22

will recede and concur with the House, the

LET US GET INTO ACTION.

The News feels that it is an oppor
tune time to have a good heart-to-
heart talk with the factors upon whom
so largely depends the great prosper
ity and growth of Brunswick
The Industrial inclination Of our
recent grand jury has been 50 widely
commented upon in the press OF the
state as a new departure from the
stereotyped fulminations of these DO
dies, and so heartily commended, that
it is wen worth the while Of our
people to wake up to the importance
of the occasion and think very seri-
ously If the right chord has not been
struck from which to make a begin
ming of the work that is so largely
before us, so far as the future of
Brunswick is concerned.
That this suggestion movement
should have inspired a special tele-
gram to the New York Herald as an
evidence of a sensible people has
/ something more than local bearing
of importance as indicating new
spirit OF southern development, We;
the credit is ours, and if we shall
measure up TO it, by active movement
Brunswick is going to gain an impetus
of growth that may be very far reach
ing.
Iu all the scope Of splendid pixies
and modernly constructed roadwavs
along these great thoroughfares that
are to enthuse cross the-country
travel from north to south there will
be none to excite more praise and
give more pleasure than the shell
roads of Glynn. And there is nothing
to make a people feel more kindly to
a country than the comfort which good
smooth roads arouses in the line of

easy transport and cheerful moods.
It is tangible. comprehensive sys-
TEN Of development that has been
suggested by the grand jury. The
body was composed OF a notably con-
sentative business class who would
stand out against needless exrava-
gance or any wasteful experiment.
They have realized that something
Is needful to be done to maintain
Brunswick's hopeful future. They
feel that our greatest and most de-
pendable resources lie inIand-that
We must have . Productive population.
and that the county must become
shareholder in the stimulation OF its
only city. the center from which its
prosperity must cone
1t seems to be up to the Retail Mer-
chants and Business Mems assoeia-
ton, the one living body Of activity
in the city, to take this matter IN
hand.
Public sentiment is in approval Of
the grand jury's Recommendations for
good roads and drainage and agTicuI-
tural settlement. It only needs to
be reinforced by authoritative acton
It's leadership We want. and We need
it wonderfully just at this time.

commeacE IS FLOWING SOUTH.

A Telegram few days ago from a
well-known northern newspaper to
one Of its southern correspondents
reads:
1T is interesting to note that the
railroad builders OF this generation arr
gradually turning their eyes south
wardly and concentrating their vision
upon that part of the Atlantic coast
which is about in the latitude Of
Washington. Mr.. Hartman is report
ed as having said that with adequate
and economic. thoroughly systematized
railway facilities, terminating at Bal
timore that port should be OF increas-
ing importance. The impression is
strong that, while New York city may
retain pre- commence as an import city,
it is surely to lose more and more
Of its past pre- eminence in the ex-
port of food products, cotton and
some manufactured products.
George Jay Gould is believed still
to have a desire to reach the sea some
where in the vicinity of Chesapeake
Bay, probably at Baltimore. If Mr..
Hartman had his way, he would be in
control of trunk line stretching from
some southern Atlantic port to New
Orleans, or probably st. Louis.
Mr.. Hawley, comparatively new
man in railway development, is quoted
as having been convinced that ulh-
mately deep water at Newport News,
Hampton Roads or that entire harbof
over which Fortress Monroe furnished
constant protection, is to become one
of the great ports of entry and ex-
port in the United States. But for the
superb terminals established there, i'll
is doubtful whether Mr. Hawley would
plan, as he has done trunk line or
trans continental system, at least one

Il is 10 be noted that. according
to this review Of the commercial Sit
uatiou. the great trunk lines are in
ciined to center upon Norfolk and is
reignborhood as the great port region
Of the country. but mat IS, doubtless,
due to the fact that already the cur
rents are running 10 that point, and
it is not at all easy to change Che cur
rents of trade. Ultimately. however
the movement toward ports south OF
New York will lead the great trunk
lines to seek even more southernly

the south Atlantic and the Gulf region

ports by the deepening of harbors,
become equally important as the great

there is no great trunk line operating
from the west to the south Atlantic
coast and none Of the lines Of rail-
road now reaching our ports are con-
structed along strict economic lines
But all this viii change in the course
