and H. T. G~reenleaf, ST., also Of this
city, is secretary n treasurer, at a

across ~Pasquotank river to supplant
the ferry line now in operation.
The secretary was instructed to

ment for g, permit to build the bridge
and as soon as this is received, WorE
will probabl ybegin. The compan#
has purchased the Bradford lot on
this side Of the river for $1,000 AM

1t is estimated that the bridge viii
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Proposed New Charter.
A meeting called by the president
for the special urpOS Of hearing the
report of the committee recently az
pointed to recommend changes 20 the
city charter was held last night in the
court house by the Chamber OF C0m-
Inerce.
Among the recommendations which
were adopted b ythe chamber were
that the mayor be given veto power
which to override would require five
seventies vote of the Board of Alder
men; abolishing the Board of Con-
troll, consisting Of five members, and
establishing a Board of Permanent
Improvements, to consist OF three
elective members and not more than
one member from any one ward,
changing the figures of a bond issue
for erecting a market house and au-
ditorium from $4,000 to $50, 900; Civ
ing the Board Of Aldermen and Board
of Control power to buy and condemn
adjacent land to that already owned
by the corporation upon which to
erect the market house and audlto-
rum.
Another matter of Importance was
decided upon in which the dues OF
the OF m Were
changed to $1,000 a year instead OF
$500 as heretofore. 1t was also
unanimously passed that commodious
offices be rented in the BUSINESS sec
ton for the secretary and reception
of guests, and that a paid secretary
be employed to take charge CT t1e
offices and work and push Elizabeth
City's advantages before the Worlo.

SECRETARY OF WAR
WEARS HERO MEDAL

Washington.-An almost forgotten
incident, in which the present secre-
tary of war, James NJ. Dickinson, he
roically rescued James F. Joy, a law
yer, from the Detroit river fourteen
years ago, was recalled today when
handsome solid gold medal, suspend
ed from ribbon held in the beak of
an American eagle, was presented to
Mr.. Dickinson on behalf of the Uni
ted States government. The medal,
approved by President Taft before his
departure on his trip and commemo-
rating the courage of the war secre-
tary in saving the life of fellow man,
was presented by Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury Hilles.
I'm testimony of heroic deeds in
saving lives" read the inscription on
the medal, which also bore a laurel
wreath held aloft by woman.
Touched deeply by the unexpected
recognition of his act, the secretary
of war, with characteristic modesty,
merely said:
81 did not have much time to con-
slider what was best to be done when
Joy fell into the river. and If had
I might have done what Rip Van
Wrinkle told his wife, Gretchen, he
would do in case she fell into the wa
ter Go home and think it over" He
added that he did not know he had
done anything remarkable.
On August "a, 1895, the American
Bar association, then in session at
Dentroit, was entertained at st. Clair
Flats. The guests were conveyed
there by steam yachts, Judge Dickin-
son, Charles H. Campbell, F.. o. Love-
land and others were entertained on
the steam yacht Truant, owned by

The Trutant returned to Detroit at

OF the Detroit bar, whose eyesight was

was feet above water, which at that
point was 20 feet deep. Judge Dick

cued JOY. Close by on other yachts

PRICE OF AUTO
TIRES SCARS SKYWARD

Akron, GA shortage of rubber
throughout the world is creating an
alarming condition in the automobile
industry and especially in the tire
manufacturing branch. Two advan-
ces in tire prices have been made
within the past so days. Today an
ounce of rubber washed and prepared
for manufacturing is worth one-third
as much as an ounce Of pure silver,
and the price Is to advance.
In February, 1908, Para rubber
gum sold as low as 81 cents a pound.
Since that time 1t has been steadily
advancing, through the influence of a
renewed demand and the efforts Of
the rubber-gathering syndicates, un-
til 1t has reached the record price Of
$2.15 per pound, with very little to
be had even at that price.
The present shortage Is partially
attributed to the demand from tire
makers, whose output this year
amounts to nearly $3O,000,000, with a
probably production OF $50,000,O00
next year. Rubber tires now lead all
other manufactured articles in the
consumption of the best rubber gum.
