EFFORT TO REVIVE SMYRNA
PHILADELPHIA BOAT LINE
STRONG SENTIMENT PREVAIL S
AT BOARD OF TRADE MEETING
A. E. Jardine Makes Proposition and

Investigate His and Other Plans

A. {. Jardine Makes Proposition and
Special Committee is Appointed to
Investigate His and Other Plans
A strong sentiment prevailed at
the Smyrna Board of Trade meeting
Thursday evening to lend every en-
couragement in the matter of estab
fishing another boat line for Smyr-
ma. Since the Steamer G. F. Brady
was sold and taken off the line be-
tween here and Philadelphia and The
Smyrna Transportation and Manufac-
turing Company has discontinued bus
mess, our town is without regular
freight and passenger boat service.
With an effort to revive the line the
Board of Trade appointed special
committee composed of C. H. Le-
Fevre, chairman, Hirons Denney,
Charles j. Sudler, Harry B. Grieves
and ]. E. Hoffecker to look into the
matter and see what could be done.
President LeFevre read a communi-
eaton from A. E. Jardine, general
manager of the Atlantic City Trans
portation Company, in which he
deeply regretted that Smyrna al.
lowed it's boat line to go when $40,
900 would have kept it here. He
said he would assume half thi.
amount if the Board of Trade woulC
see to the rest. One member of the
Board of Trade advocated forming {
home company and said he would b.
one of twenty-five to put up $1,000
Another member volunteered a lik
amount. The opinion prevailed tina
if such was the sentiment and pa
triotic purpose of our people, ther
should be no trouble to organize
home line. Some, however, fel
that no attempt should be made t
organize company with less tina
S25, 900 capital stock. The Boa
Committee will get in communics
tion with Mr.. Jardine and report g
the next meeting of the Board {

CEMENT IN BUILDING.
Easy Access Has Made Its Use Popu-
lar In This City.

Detroit builders consider themselves
fortunate in having easy access to all
the cement they need for building
purposes. In and about the city
there are big plants. turning out thou.
sands Of tons of cement every year.
An unlimited quantity of sand and
gravel is also available at these places
al all times.
Much of the material used in the
manufacture OF cement comes from
pits within a short distance OF De-
troit, and the proximity OF the gravel
and sand beds TO Detroit, the dealers
say, has something to do with keep
ing the price OF cement and its in
gradients at reasonable price. The
fact that there are large cement yards
in Detroit also enters into the regula-
ton OF the cost OF the article. Were
IT necessary for Detroit builders to
import their cement and other build
ing essentials, the cost Of building
would be much heavier here than 1t
now is. the cement dealers argue.
For the remarkable growth OF De-
troit In the past few years, the ce.
ment dealers claim some credit. They
declare that, but for the capacity OF
their cement plants and yards. The
builders OF the city never could have
kept up with the demands for new
factory accommodations. In the build
ing of most Of the automobile fac
tories, cement was extensively used,
and the manufacturers of this COM
modify point out that II was their abil-
ity to meet the demand for cement
that allowed the city to expand as 1t
did. They also intimate that they
have an inxehaustible supply of sand
and gravel and will be able to meet
the demand for cement. no matter
how great II may be, for many years
to come.

by the Michigan statutes TO maintain

This especial protection afforded by
the reserve is one OF the main feature
of the strength and almost absolute

In considering the value Of home

not do better than quote the words or
Hon. James " Barry. until recently
commissioner OF insurance for Michi-
gan. who during his ten years or
Office in that position established an
unique reputation as a keen student
of the varied problems which arise
in connection with the business OF in
surance. Mr. Barry raised the Mich
igan insurance department TO a high
standard of efficiency so as TO render
the people OF this state under perman-
ent obligations 10 him. Speaking be-
fore the National Association Of Life
Underwriters in Detroit last Septem-
Der, he spoke In reference TO home
companies as follows:
II have no quarrel with new com
panies. On the contrary believe that
IL properly organized and managed,
they accomplish much good. 1t would,
in my Judgment, be best for all con-
cerned II there were TO be established
in every state one OF more good, solid
substantial companies operated along
safe and sane lines by men skilled In
the business.
These local companies would do
much In the way of educating the peo-
pie as to the soundness and benefi-
cence OF life insurance as an institu-
ton and creating a healthy and In
telligent public sentiment which
would serve to protect the business
from ill-considered and burdensome
exactions which are too often the re-
suit OF feeling on the part Of techni-
