May Be Established in Track of
Liners as Result of Titan
ic Disaster
WOULD WARN BIG STEAMSHIPS
Plan Is Being Considered by Brit
ish Board of Trade

London, Oct. ga permanent Ice
berg lookout ship in mid-Atlantic is
suggested by the British Board of
Trade as a sequel to the report Of
Lord Nersey on the Titanic disaster.
~ present the plan is being consid-
cred by the advisory committee of the
Board of Trade. If the proposals are
carried out. the vessel will be station-
ed in the track of Atlantic travel and
she will cruise along the boundaries of
the Ice region. She will then be in a
position To warn the burrying liners
by her powerful wireless equipment of
the exact position of the various ice
fields. The proposed ship will also
send warning of drifting iceberes and
any derelicts which she nay en-
counter
According to reports made to the ad-
risory committee, the most suitable
iceberg ship would be about of 1000
tons displacement $50 feet long and
- feet broad. with draft of II feet
6 inches. She would have speed Of
of coal every "a hours Her wireless
telegraph equipment would>be OF the
most powerful type and widest range.
The Board of Trade officials express
the belief that the stationing of such
ship In mid-ocean would add i'm
measureably to the safety oc ocean
travelling.

A question that for the past
month has been rivaling in local
interest the presidential nOmina'
ton was settled Tuesday night at
a regular meeting of the board of
aldermen when the route that the
macadamized road to the depot
will follow was fixed. Two routes,
one by the streets between Mr.. Har-
risOnand Mrs. Holman and other
the lower road which has always
been the more popular road and
the one almost universally used,
were the ones in question.
Two aldermen, W. B. Patty and
W. F. Allen favored the upper
road, and two D. D. Patty and
W. L. Featherston the lower. AL
derman Grace was absent on &C
count of illness. Mayor Horton
cast the deciding vote for the low
er road.
The street will run as at present
until past the Murphey place, then
through Mr.. Hollis cotton yard,
turning north about where his Of
flee now stands, to Hale street,
continuing it on through its I'M
opened part which has been used
by Mr.. Scott Farmer, then north
in front of the depot stores to the
