committee has improved the park Sc
cured by the closing of Fifth street
between State and Oak streets. by
seeding it and .the planting of roses

bench along the drive which was made
by K. b. Bragg at the cost of 81. rs,
and as several more are needed the
club would appreciate the donation of

FOR NATL COMMITTEE.

Washington, May 13.-The current
week will have a tremendous bearing
upon the Republican pre-convention

troll of 16 delegates would not be clear
ed until the state convention. and
Kanas, where the Roosevelt records
showed IA had been chosen, and the
Taft records 10.

REMARKS

Under the specially difficult circum-
stances subject to which the cultivation Of
the sugar-cane in st. Croix IS at present
carried on, the comparatively low prices
obtained for the canes, the constantly in
creasing cost of cultivation due to the la
bour relations, and the reduction of the
produce of the canes in consequence Of
several plant diseases and the small rain
fall, the burden laid on the planters by the
payment of the export duty is felt as par
ticularly hard.
While the financial condition Of the Co
lonial Treasury does not permit of this ex-
port duty being wholly or in part abolish
cd ct the present time, as the yearly bud
gets of the municipality only just balance
or at all events shew but a small surplus,
there may be reason to relieve the planters
of paying the duty when particularly bad
years make it more a burden than usual,
and when the funds accumulated in the
Colonial Treasury are sufficiently large to
enable the nee ssary sun to be used with
out hampering the work of the Administra-
ton or setting any necessary undertakings
aside.
This situation we find in existence in the
present Financial Year. The sugar crop
has given aquite unusually poor result. At
the same time the Colonial Treasury in the
Financial Year 19l1-1912 has had a surplus
of Fr. 80,088. Is, which has been added to
a cash balance on hand at the beginning of
the said Financia Year of Fr. 2O5,1 IOIO
besides Fir. 306, 944. As invested in bonds.
1t Is proposed then, as an extraordinary
measure based on the special circumstances.
to repay to the cane cultivators what has
fallen to their charge on the crop Of the

MEET TO PLAN WHITE WAY
FOR SPRINGFIELD AVENUE
Improvement Assn Issues Call
for Conference.

Every merchant doing business
along Springfield avenue will be
asked to join in the fight now being
waged by the Springfield Avenue I'm
provement Association for better
lighting and better pavement on that
thoroughfare. A general meeting of
the association, at which a plan of
action will be decided upon has been
called for September is in the
Kruger Auditorium.
At an enthusiastic meeting of the
board of directors last night the
boundary lines were extended to
reach to South Tenth street. Here
tofore the association operated only
as far west as Belmont avenue. The
cooperation of the West Side I'M
provement Association will be asked
to make the movement general.
For some time past the Springfield
avenue merchants have been envious
of their brother merchants along
Broad and Market streets, but until
last night nothing definite had been
done.

CANDIDATES TO Be
|NDORSED MONDAY
Republican County Committee
Hopes Contestants Will
Abide by Decision.

To agree upon candidates for city
county, State and congressional nom
nations a special meeting of the Re.
publican County Committee viii be
held on Monday evening" 1t is hoped
by the leaders that those of the can
didates who do not receive the COM
mittee's Endorsement will drop out OF
the race.
Probably the greatest interest CEN
tres in the choice of the committee
for the nomination of mayor. There
are about ten candidates for he
place who claim to have a sufficient
number of friends on the commit
tee to secure its Endorsement. Friends
IF Louis V. Aronson, who announced
his candidacy yesterday in a long
statement defining his stand on some
of the questions which at present
confront the public, are making an
active canvass among the committee
members in his behalf.
Former County Clerk William o.
Kuebler and William Pennington,
formerly president of the Common
Council, also have an enthusiastic
backing.
1t is thought that Board of Works
Commissioners William Mungle and
Harry B. O'Connell, both of whose
terms expire this year, will probably
receive the support of the organiza-
ton for denomination.
But one change is contemplated in
the delegation hat represented Es-
sex county in the Assembly last win
ter. With the exception of Frank
j. Murray, Of Orange, who is a can
didate for mayo of thai city, 1t is
likely that the entire delegation will
be Endorsed. The executive commit
tee of Orange will probably be given
opportunity to name the successor
of Mr.. Murray on the ticket.
From all signs County Clerk John
B. Woolson will receive the indorse-
of the committee for renomi-
without the slightest oppo-
