More Prosperity Talk.

Ned Orleans States.
The Manufacturers Record Is con-
WINGED that within the course of a few
months there will come a flood OF
prosperity so great that the country
will find the effort to take care Of it
somewhat distressing. According to
the agreeable forecast, the railroads
will be swamped with traffic which
will result in an unparalleled car
shortage and much popular dissatis-
faction because of the inability of
the railroad systems to promptly
handle the business offered them.
The Record believes that the need
of a great expansion of railroad facili-
ties is immediate and pressing-far
greater, in fact. than has been the
case in the last ten years, hence it
that the minimum amount
the raill Dads must spend is one billion
dollars a year for the next five years

that will be developed in that time
and An expenditure less than that
will be far below the actual needs of
the situation.

ASPHALT OILED ROADS.

ST he meeting tuesday eveninf
held by Il numDer of citizens Of thi.
CITY and Broussard for the purpose OF
discussing the matter of good Der

~resenting the Standard Oil Company
was present by request and explained
how good roads could be made by
the use of asphalt road oil, and spoke
of the success attained on roads lead.
ing out of New Orleans. He claimed
that in addition to the oil uniting
with the dirt and forming a hard firm
surface, that dust was eliminated.
Mr.. Wilson showed a number of pho.
tographs of roads treated with the
asphalt oil. and they were very at.
tractive looking.
The building Of good roads is a
matter that concerns us all, and for
that reason the method explained by
Mr.. Wilson is Of special interest and
deserves investigation, as it promises
a simple and effective way without a
%prohibitive expense. The company
offers to sell 1000 gallons OF the as
phalt oil at a reduced price for expert
mental purposes and furnish an ex-
perienced man to superintend the
proper application of the oil to the
road. We should promptly take ad-
vantage of this offer and treat at
least one block on Jefferson street,
where shells have been laid, and one
block where the street is all dirt, but
ver which there is much traffic. If
at the end of a year the two blocks
prove the oil treatment satisfactory,
then the town will have solved the
problem. of having good streets and
dust al a price that will permit the
Oiling of all the streets.
Paved streets are generally con-
sidered as the kind for permanent
street building, but owing to the cost
not many small towns can afford
them. But il this asphalt oil treat
ment is successful in forming q dur
able crust, and the claim is made that
It will, then street paving becomes a
simple matter of oiling, and falls in
reach of even very small towns.
The promise held by this new
method of road making is so attract
that we should under no circum-
stances delay in at once having a
model road of several blocks in
built here. 1t won't cost much.
md ii 1t proves to be firm, hard and
as is claimed for it, then
investment in the model asphalt
oil road will indeed be a paying one.

Decision Handed Down Today

CONVICTION, Ky. March 22.--Judge
Earbeson held that the law creating the
Kentucky racing commission gave that

that. trotting races and running races
came under the same legal category,
and that therefore the law was class

The court, in othsr words, held that the

The decision is a complete victory for

commission had insisted that Latonia

Latonia put in these machines, but
claimed that they were run at finan-

MAYOR SELECTS
TWO EXPERTS ON
SHIP CANAL PLANS
George S. Greene, of New York,
and Henry S. Adams, of
Boston, the Men.
CHOSEN SOME TIME AGO.
BUT NAMES WITHHELD
Both Eminent Engineers, and
They Will Now Consult
With Each Other.
May5,H Haussl,

Mayoi- Haussli today announced
the appointment y. two engineers to
examine the report aud plans of the
ship Canal Commission They are
George S. Greene. of the firm OF Greene
&eGreene, of II Broadway, New York,
and Henry S. Adams, of Boston. At the
meeting of Common Council March s
an appropriation OF $1,000 was made to
the chief executive for the purpose OF
engaging the experts.
The day after the appropriation was
made his honor selected the two men,
who are among the best known harbor
and inland waterway experts in the
country. They have been working quiet
ly since then. While they have eacn
worked Independently of the other they
will get together on the final report
which it is expected will be handed to
Mayor Haussling this week
Careers of the Men.
Mr.. Greene began his career as an
engineer in the Croton aqueduct depart
ment of New York city In 1850 From
1875 to 1898 he was engineer-in-chief in
the department of docks of the me-
tropolis. He then retired to become a
consulting engineer. Among some of
his notable work has been the con-
struction of the ney' docks and piers of
the Astoria Light and Power Company
at Astoria, L. T., and the new piers of
the North German Lloyd Company at
Hoboken, after the great fire. He has
also been consulting engineer for the
city of Montreal on gigantic harbor i'm
provements.
Mr.. Adams was graduated in 1887
from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, In Boston. For seven
years after graduation he was an en-
gineer for the city on harbor and dock
work along the Charles river. Then
he became assistant engineer of Mid
dlesex; county, Mass. In 1898 he went
into private practise.
He has planned numerous big docks
and wlnarves in Sand, about Boston and
has made a speciality of reclaiming fiat
land. He made the plans and surveys
for harbor improvements by the gov
ernment at Ponce, Porto Rico. I'm
provements at the harbor of Nome,
Alaska, and at Boca del Toro, Central
America, are hiss handiwork. Most Of
the big private wharves about Boston
are work he has advised on
Newark's Great Future.
These two engineers who have made
a Study of conditions throughout the
world have stated to Mayor Haussling
that no harbor in the world has the
future of Newark bay. They point out
that 1t is located in such a way that It
is destined to become the port Of entry
for the entire country.
It's strategic value In time of war
they point out cannot be overestimated
A fighting ship could come In there and
anchor back of Staten Island in case she

coast they say.
