ROCKY BLUFF MAY
SOON BE REMOVED
Municipal Officials to Confer
Today Regarding Much De-
sired Improvement
Proposed Grading Will Be of
immense Benefit to Traffic
Through Wide Area

The first step looking to the removal
of the unsightly pile of rock that, ris-
ing to sheer height of so feet in the
center Of Twentieth street at Ken
lucky, has for years obstructed traf-
fic and retarded the commercial devel-
opment of the Potrero will be taken
this morning at joint special confer
the finance committee of the board of
supervisors.
President Michael Casey of the board
of works called the session as the re-
suit of the repeated demands of the
Potrero Improvement clubs and a for
NAL request made by The Call
To representative of The Call
President Casey said that the board
was ready to go ahead and grant this
great Improvement to the residents and
interests of the Potrero district and
that it was only a mater of inducing
the supervisors to advance the neces-
sary money for the work At today's
conference he will ask for an appro-
priation of $1,000 and If this is obtained
work will begin on the rock bluff at
once
A canvass of many city officials yes
terday developed a unanimity of opin-
Supervisor Robert Loughery was for
Immediate action and late in the after
noon he took the mater up with Presi-
rent Casey. Supervisor John Kelly,
chairman of the finance committee, is
known to have advocated the improve
ment, SO that it is expected that the
conference will take favorable action
on the project.
The complaint of the Potrero district
is that the city is not doing what is
expected of private property owners IN
the way of encouraging and making
improvements. The pile of rock is sur
rounded by graded property, one front
age belonging to private property own
ers and the other to the city. The
private owners are anxious to have the
mound of rock taken away so that they
can use their property which for five
years has been graded and ready for
building. The city, however, has not
met them half way in putting up
money for he grading.
]. Weiss, president of the Potrero
Merchants association, declared that
the Potrero district is neglected by the
city officials. He said:
of the hill for years, but all our
communications and demands have
been ignored. 1t is a matter of
vital Importance to this district
give access to the twentieth street
bridge, one block behind. The
board of public works could have
the rock dumped into the low
third streets and give two benefits
to the district, as the marsh is
menace to health, Some of the
in this district and the hill at
Twentieth street means five extra
blocks to draying.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. Although
the personnel Of the next assembly will
be greatly changed as a result of the
Lincoln Roosevelt avalanche at the
direct primary election. there has been
during the present extra session much
discussion as to who would be the next
speaker of the lower house.
A II. Hewitt of Yuba City is being
generally named as the man who will
probably be the next presiding officer
of the assembly.
Notwithstanding the fact that Hewitt
has Lincoln Roosevelt tendencies he
will be acceptable to most Of the regu-
lars who will be returned because of
his reputation, during his terms of sew
eral years in the lower house, for fair
dealing He is one of the most popular
members of the assembly and is parti-
cularly well qualified for the honor as
q result of his experience and general
legislative ability.

How Finqer Nails Grow.

II has been computed that the aver
age growth Of the finger nail Is i-32
OF an inch per week. or a little more
than an inch and a half per year. The
growth, however, depends to a great
extent upon the rate of nutrition. and
during periods of sickness It is retard-
ed. 1t goes on faster in summer than
In winter. and differs for different fin
gers, being most rapid In the middle
finger, and slowest In the thumb. Ac-
cording to the rate Of growth stated
the average time taken for each finger
nail to grow its full length Is about
four and half months, and at tim
rate man of seventy would have re-
newed his nails 1856 times. Taking
the length OF each nail at half an
inch, he would have grown seven feet
nine inches of nail on each finger
and on all his fingers and thumbs an
aggregate length of n feet six inches

100000 POSTAL
CARDS SHIPPED
TO BRUNSWICK
FIRST SUPPLY SINCE THIS CITY
WAS MADE A DisTRiBUT-
ING POINT.
Uncle Sam Yesterday Forwarded Pos
tails Valued at Fifty-Two Thousand
Dollars to Local office-car of Er.
veiops Will Soon Follow,

Fifty-two thousand dollars worth
of postal cards were yesterday ship
per from Washington to Brunswick.
Just think how many postals, at one
cent each, can be purchased for that
sum of money-just five million two
hundred thousand. 1t appears that 1t
is an enormous number of postals
to ship to any one Office, but they are
en- route to Brunswick and will ar
rive next week and will at once be
stored in the local postoffice.
1t will be remembered that several
months ago the Brunswick postofice
was made the distributing point for
postal cards and envelopes for Geor-
gia, Florida and other sections, and
this is merely the first shipment to-
be made to the new distributing Of
flee. These postals, it is stated.
would have been shipped some time
ago, but the government printing Of
flee was behind in printing the cards,
which caused the delay
1t is also announced that within the
next few days solid carload OF
stamped envelopes will also be ship
ped to the Brunswick Office. The
government is far behind in print
ing envelopes, it being almost impos-
sitle to supply the demand, there.
fore some delay is being experienced
by all the postofices in receiving the
envelopes.
The postals shipped from Washing
ton yesterday will be stored away in
the local office and will be shipped
out from here as ordered by the de-
partment. For instance, If the Jack
sonyille pOstoffice needs postals a
requisition will be sent to Washing
ton and it will then lie forwarded
from t.ere by the postoffice depart
ment to Brunswick and the cards will
be shipped from this city.
Just how long 100000 will last
is not known, but 1t seems that they
would supply this entire section for
many months

CITIZENS MEET
At CITY HALL ON
TUESDAY NIGHT
MASS MEETING TO BE HELD UN-
DER AUSPICES BRUNSWICK
ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION.
The Meeting Is one of Great Impor-
tance - People Of the City Gener-
ally and it is Expected that Large
Crowd Win Be Out.

brunswick business men will turn
-oat in large numbers to the general
mass meeting to be held at the city
hall Tuesday night under the auspices
OF the Brunswick Advancement asso-
citation, which was recently organized
in this city.
The meeting should be a notable
one, it is to launch movement which
means something to every citizen of
Brunswick, and they should turn out
and show that they are willing to CO.
operate in every way with those en-
terprising citizens who are at the
head of this most worthy organiza-
tlon.
The Brunswick Advancement asso.
citation was formed a few weeks ago
among a number of the city's leading
business men. The sole purpose of
the organization is to secure new
manufacturing industries for the city
to purchase and give sites to outsid-
ers who desire to locate here and
10 generally work for a bigger and
better Brunswick.
The plans of the organization have
been outlined in these columns previ-
essly. 1t is the intention of the as
sociation to purchase factory sites in
various sections of the City and coun-
t. and give them to factories, under
~ertain conditions. In the past con-
siderable difficulty has been expert
eaced in securing sites for factories
which desired to locate in the city
there has never been any organiza-
lion. which could say to the manufac-
tarers, Come to Brunswick, we will
give you a site, to be yours just as
long as you operate your factory
Bat on the other hand, whenever a
manufacturer would come here in
search of site the price of said site
would he carried skyward by the own
-ex. and in this way it is believed that
Brunswick has lost many manufac-
turing industries.
T. The intents and purposes of the
new organization will be fully dis
e1ssed at the meeting Tuesday night
and it is the duty of every business
man who has the interests of Bruins
wick at heart, to be present
