at the union depot, where the tracks

For many years this crossing has

SELL BERRIES At
SHIPPING POINT
CHICAGO MERCHANTS WILL SEND
BUYERS TO SANFORD BEGIN
MING OF SEASON..

T. L. ODonnell, who was here Tues
day attending the meeting of the Mis-
sissippi Pine Association, stated that
the Sanford people are going ahead
steadily In the work of increasing their
strawberry acreage and it is their in
tention to have 500 acres in berries |
next season.
Mr. O'Donnell recently made trip |
to Chicago to look into the question of
marketing their output. He was told
by the merchants who handle their
Chicago shipments that the berries
shipped from Sanford the past season
were of very excellent quality. So we'll
pleased were they that an arrange
ment was made whereby the Chicago
firm is to send representative to San
ford at, the opening of next season who
will buy the berries at the platform
and pay cash for them. Mr.. O'Donnell
thinks this plan will prove much more
satisfactory to the growers than if
they continued to ship their berries
and await returns.
The Sanford berry growers having
sold the the Virgins people plants
enough for 200 acres, they will begin
during the coming week to take up the
two and a quarter million plants re-
quired to fill this order, and shipments
will go right on until the entire order
is completed. 80.
J Mr.. O'Donnell expressed surprise
that Hattiesburg had not taken some
steps to put in a large acreage in ber-
ries, since the land around here is
so well suited to berry growing. With
the business being carried on at Wig
gins south and Sanford north on lands
that are in no sense superior to those
here the wonder grows that the ex
ample of these two places is not fol
lowed by the truck growers of this vi
entity.

To GET EXPERT ON
DAM CONSTRUCTION

A telegram was received this morn
ing by Councilman VIII Bartel from
Fred Gennett who is in Chicago for
the purpose of obtaining a dam expert
to examine the plans for the dam
which is being built at Seventeenth
street by the Hawkins Lake and Park
company. The message stated that
three engineering firms had been i'll
terviewed and that two of them want
ed $50 per day and all expenses for the
services of an engineering expert and
the other firm asked 800 per day to
send an expert engineer specializing
on dam construction to this city to ex-
anime the plans. The probable cost,
the message stated, would be from
$500 to $500.
Mayor Zimmerman stated that he
went to Dayton yesterday for the pur-
pose of securing the services OF gov
eminent dam expert. He was unable
to locate any government engineers
while there but talked to several men
connected with the Ohio state engine
ering department. They informed him
that there was very little chance of
obtaining an expert connected with the
government department unless there
was one located at Fernbank where
large dam was recently constructed
across the Ohio river for the purpose
of maintaining a nine foot stage. Steps
will be taken by city officials to get
into communication with the engineers
at Fernbank at once.
txtiII in fn
council at a called meeting Monday"
said the mayor. II believe it Is worth
while to go to any expense to make
the dam safe. The life of one of our
citizens, should the dam break, is
worth far more than the pleasure de-
rived by all the people fro mthe lake.
The expense or bringing the expert
here to examine the plans will be
born by the city, Light Heat and Pow
er company, Starr Piano company, the
lake and park association and others
interested in safeguarding the river
bottom against possible floods. All of
the persons interested who have ex-
amined the most recent plans for the
dam believe that there is little dam
ger of any break during the high wa
ter.
Work on the excavation for the foun-
dation of the dam will be resumed as
soon as possible. The contractor stat
ed that any alterations which may be
made later in the plans will not ef-
feet the work that is being done now
Every effort to complete the dam by
July 1, as agreed, will be made. The
lake and park association expect to
holA the formal opening on July 4.

REBUILD A BRIDGE
IN GLEN MILLER

\ The bridge in the rear. of Glen Mill
err park near the Lincoln memorial tab
let will be rebuilt at once under the
supervision of City Engineer Charles,
who stated that the old form of bridg-
Ing the streams in Glen Miller park
would be abandoned and instead,
whenever necessary, new bowlder
arch bridges will replace the old tile
bridges.
The plans for the bridge have been
completed by the city civil engineering
department. The bridge will be of the
culvert style. Instead of building the
bridge under contract as formerly, the
men will be hired by the day to work
on the bridge under the supervision of
City Engineer Charles. This, the city
officials believe, will save the city sew
eral hundreds of dollars.
