FRANK N. WEAKLEY
WILL BE IN Charge
is Supervising Construction of Post
office and Court House at Meridian,
and Has Been Detailed to Look
After Hattiesburg Work.

People of Hattiesburg will be graft
fled to know that within the next few
days active work on the federal build
ing in this city will be commenced,
and it is generally believed that the
postoffice will move into its hand
some new quarters during the early
part of next year.
Postmaster w. A. Collins has been
advised by the supervising architect
at Washington that Mr.. Frank NJ.
Weakley, superintendent of the con-
struction, who is now at work on the
new postoffice and court house at
Meridian, has been detailed to super
wise the erection of the postoffice at
Hattiesburg, with instructions to re-
port for duty here on July 18th, next
Monday.
This indicates that the preparatory
work will be commenced at once, and
that the grading and preparation of
the lot for the fine new structure will
be under way before the close of an
other week.
A representative of the Newport
News Construction Company, to whom
the contract for the building was let
by the government, is expected to be
in Hattiesburg next Monday, and it
is thought probable that several of
the sub-contracts will be let to local
individuals and contractors. The
the foundation of the building, will al
so, it is believed, be done by a local
concern.
Residents and owners of buildings
on West Pine street are jubilant over
the prospect of the increase in the
value of their property as the result
of the building being located in that
section, and already the increased de-
mand for business houses and offices
in that vicinity is evident.
The erection of this building will
necessitate the employment of a
large number of skilled mechanics and
laborers of all descriptions, and will
mean the circulation of much new
money in Hattiesburg, which is alto
gether desirable.
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-07-14
IS NOT So BAD AS
WAS THOUGHT TO Be
Faint Odors Are Detected At Times,
But Members of Committee Say Not
Plant Down Would be Justified.

Acting upon the suggestion of Coun'
Gilman r. A. Cameron, the test of the
city crematory, for the purpose of de-
terminifg whether or not it is odor-
less, was continued for five more
days, and a majority of the members
of the committee have declared that
they will vote to approve the plant,
only two, it is said, being in favor OF
condemning it as public nuisance.
While the gentlemen who are con-
Quoting the investigation say that at
times faint odors from the crematory
are distinctly noticeable, they are not
such as to necessitate its abandon
ment, or to cause considerable incon-
venience to residents of the section
of the city where the plant is located
Residents of Bouie street and North
Jackson street have been, and some
are yet, persistent in the statement
that the plant is a positive nuisance
and should be abated as such, put it
has been suggested that the disagree
able odors noticed on Bouie street are
caused to large extent by the fresh
fertilizer pyrites which have been
placed on that street, and which, for a
time, emit a peculiarly dsagreeable
odor. Some of this material has also
been used on sections of Jackson
street, and it is thought probable that
some of the odors credited to the Gre
matory do not come from there.
The Hattiesburg cremation plant
was erected at cost of nearly eleven
thousand dollars, and the general
opinion prevails that it is too expen-
sive an investment to be thrown
away, especially in view of the fact
that the city has no convenient dump
ing ground for it's trash and garbage.

SANITARY QUESTION
THE MOST IMPORTANT
Those Who Would be Elected to I'M
portant Offices Are Being Called
Upon to Make Their Positions Clear
on Numerous Public Questions.

The life of the candidate in Hatties
burg is by no means an enviable one
these days, and those who are most
active in soliciting the support of
suffragsts are being handed some ex-
ceedingly haro nuts, which they are
expected to crack in a thoroughly sci
entific manner.
Inasmuch as the city government
is to be entrusted to the management
of three men instead of ten, as here
tofore, the people are somewhat con-
cerned as to the ability of those ap-
plying for offices to handle the big
jobs which they will have on hand in
the event they should be. elected.
Among the questions which are be-
ing asked, the following appear to be
the most popular:
I'm the event you should be elected
to the office to which you aspire,
what are you going to do about the
regulation of the sanitary department
The city is grown up with weeds and
grass, and wagonloads of trash are
dumped within the corporate limits.
Many sections of the city are poorly
drained and stagnant water is allow
ed to remain standing, a breeding
place for mosquitoes and malarial
germs. What are you going to do
about it?"
What action do you propose to take
with reference to compelling people
to connect their residences with the
sewer system, and in extending the
water mains to those people who have
been denied the use of city water,
when they are entitled to it?"
What is your attitude with refer
ence to the city schools? Are you in
favor of employing a corps of compe-
tent teachers at a reasonable salary,
and in the maintenance of the domes-
tic science branches in the high
school? Are you in favor of tearing
down the Main Street school building
and erecting a finer and more commo- |
lious one, or would you prefer hay
ing the present building repaired?"
How about the police department.?
Do you favor the employment of com
Detent men and paying them a salary
which will enable them to live COM
'ortably, or do you favor retrench-
