/ proves weak they viii be recOmmlt-
ted to the farm.
Besides the patients turned over
to the Board of Inebriety by the po-
| lice magistrate there will be a sec
Ond and very important class who
will be committed to the custody or
! the board on their own application or
| that of their families or friends. In
/ such cases it can be presumed that
they are ready to cooperate with the
board in its efforts to effect a cure.
The commitment, coming from a
court of record, will in a measure be
secret. No one but the man himself,
the members of the board and the
patients on the farm need know of
his whereabouts. The two classes
will be strictly segregated.
The members of the Board of Inc
briates were appointed by Mayor
Gaynor. They are Thos. j. Cotton,
president; Rev. John ]. Hughes, head
of the Paulist Fathers; Dr. William
Browning, chief physician of st.
Francis Hospital in the Bronx; Mich
ael j. Drummond, commissioner or
public charities; Patrick A. Whitney,
commissioner of correction, and DR..
William Morrison, secretary.
The Farm.
The Durland farm in Orange coun-
ty, which the board has secured, will
be ready for the reception of patients
by January LIST. The land is largely
of limestone origin and its fertility is
unquestioned There are some very
respectable hills on the property, and
their rising slopes will be good for
raising cereals and such fruits as
apples, peaches, pears and grapes. A
limestone soil gives a particularly
fine flavor to fruit and makes it un-
usually free from blight and disease. |
Standing timber includes hickory, |
oak, maple, wild cherry, black wal |

Der can be obtained without unduly |
depicting the forest.

A MEETING Of
THE WATERWAY
ASSOCIATION
UNDER INSTRUCTIONS FROM
PRESIDENT FLETCHER, SEcRE-
TARY L J. HENDERSON HAS IS
SUED THE OFFICIAL CALL FOR
CONVENTION IN ALBANY, GA.

Secretary Leland ]. Henderson, of
the Mississippi to Atlantic Inlnad Wa
terway Association, under instructions
from Duncan U. Fletcher, president,
has issued the official call for the
fifth annual convention Of the associa-
ton to be held in Albany, Ca, Oct. Is
to II.
Every session Of the convention held
so far has been a more successful one
than the one preceding and it is
thought that this will be the best one
yet held.
The official call is as follows:
Pensacola, Fla. Sept. 4th, 1919.
The fifth convention of the associa-
ton Is called to meet In Albany, Ga,
October 1917, 1919.
Leading waterway advocates of the
country have been invited to make ad-
dresses.
River and harbor Improvement near
ard on the gulf coast of the United
States affects more people than i'm
provement in any other section of the
country, because the gulf coast is
nearest to the producing states of the
union, and because Of the $4,000 miles
of navigable rivers of the United
States, $4,000 miles flow to the gulf
and toward the Panama canal.
The probability of Democratic
President with a congress favorable
to the presidents political views, ought
to put the South in line for very ma
teriaI river and harbor improvement In
the near future, supplemental to that
already proposed and contemplated.
The Mississippi to Atlantic Inland
Waterway Association advocates and
works for all legitimate river and
harbor improvements, but is spe-
officially interested in an inland
waterway from the Mississippi river
to the Atlantic ocean. The project adj
vocated by this association forms an
important link in the system OF con-
tinuous inland waterways for the
United States, because it connects the
Mississippi river and the gulf coast
with the Atlantic coast.
Part of the particular project advo-
Gated by this association is now under
construction, and other parts have
been favorably reported by the en-
gineers. In consideration of these
facts, the officers Of the association be-
lieve that a majority or all of the
project will be reported in the next
rivers and harbors bill, if sufficient in
terest is manifested on the part of the
people In the localities affected. Mem
bers Of congress from the states in
terested and all waterway advocates
and citizens interested in the general
development of the country are urged
to be present or send representatives
to the convention to be held in Albany.
For information and particulars, adj
dress Leland J. Henderson, secretary,
Pensacola, Fla.
Yours truly,

President.
