From this situation Mobile ma
learn lesson. The Ship Island road
is mainly dependent upon the lumber
industry. That industry at this time
is very quiet. Also, the timber has
been cut back from the railroad to a
considerable extent-and there has not
come anything to take its place as a
money crop. The cut over lands have
not been peopled. Most of them are
idle. They are growing no freight to
be carried.
The territory about Mobile is to
some extent similar to that through
which the Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road is built. We want all of it it'll
lied.
The best way is for all to join in
the effort to place the fair at Mobile
which will attract people to this terri
tory and show them what astonishing
results the cut over lands can give in
agriculture. With the demonstration
farm as an adjunct to help the settlers
of the land of South Alabama to get
the maximum results from the lands,
there will be incentive to invest in
the lands. We will then be not only
investing against dull times, but TAX.
ing out insurance that will guarantee
that We will prosper greatly, instead
of suffering loss.

IS STILL URGING
HIGH PRESSURE
Mayor Says Salt Water System
Proposition Has Not Died
Natural Death.
IN USE FOR SPRINkLING

Need of salt water sprinkling
and flushing system about the prin-
cipal streets of the city has again
become evident by reason Of the
warm spell. Complaints about fail
ure to sprinkle on most paved streets
have been numerous every day thus
far this week. Mayor Ferd Garretson
and officials of the street department
have been besieged by anxious resi-
dents who sought relief from dust
and dirt. This fact again demon
strated to the mayor and other city
officials the certain value of salt
wafer system. Its need first became
| most evident early in March of this
| year when streets were blocked with
snow and thousands of dollars were
spent in Its removal 1t WAS then
4 that Water superintendent Thomas
Grieve and Mayor Garretson broach-
led the salt water plan. Both held 1t
would be a valuable asset to the city
and other officials concurred with
them.
The project has not died a "natur-
al death as some might think, de-
clares Mayor Ferd Garretson. He
had bill drawn to give to the Board
| of Water Commissioners power to
construct such system Under the
present law, 1t Is claimed, the water
board can only provide pure and
wholesome" water. Because the
measure could not be completed un-
til the last day on which bills could
be introduced in the legislature at
Trenton, and because wires were
down and transit service was almost
at a standstill as the result of a
March 1 blizzard, the proposed law
missed introduction.
Mayor Garretson arrived in Tren-
ton just after the legislature had
closed its session for the day. He
handed the bill to Senator William
e. Ramsay, with a request that he
endeavor to have it introduced by
unanimous consent. 1t is reported
that the physician asked for a little
time, In view of the general state of
affairs in the legislature at the time.
Even though Mr. Garretson does
not expect to hold the reins of mayor
next year, he will keep the subject
in mind, with intentions of having
the bill in question introduced, just
as soon as possible. The measure
would provide that all cities In the
state have water resources, might
erect a pumping station to use other
than pure and wholesome water
for flushing and general cleaning and
fre-fghting purposes.
1t is estimated that such a plant
would be boon winter and sum
mer and would tend to decrease
insurance rates. The estimated cost
for a station here has been made at
SIS, 900.

ON TR|ALF FOR
HORSE STEALING
Local Police in New Brunswick
to Testify.

The two men charged with steal
ing four horses two wagons and two
sets of harness from Jens M. Soren-
son, a contractor of col Sayre ave-
nue, are to be placed on trial In the
court of common pleas this after
noon. Chief of Police Patrick ].
Burke and Detective Sergeants Huff
and Long are at the county seat, hav-
ing been subpoenaed in behalf of the
state.
The men have been in Jail since
their arrest April 8, in default of
bail. They were taken in custody
the morning after the looting of Mr..
Sorenson's stables, when they made
an attempt to escape to New York
by way Of ferry From a descrfp-
ton of the stolen goods furnished
the Jersey City police by Chief of
Police Burke, the men were identi-
fed and arrested at that place. Later
they were brought here by Detective
Sergeants Long and Huff and held in
$4,000 and $4,000 bail each for the
grand jury, which recently indicted
them. They gave their names as JOS
eph Ferrata, thirty-six years old, of
1898 Second avenue, New York, and
Joseph Rodolfo, twenty-one years
old, of 406 Eleventh street, New
York. Rodolfo was held in an ad-
ditional bail of 81 600 for carrying a
revolver. The police expect to make
an impression on the grand jury by
the Introduction of pair of muddy
shoes worn by the alleged thieves
when captured, and witnesses will be
introduced who will swear the men
were seen in the vicinity of Mr.. Sor-
enson's stables the afternoon pre-
ceding the night of the robbery. The
police believe the case against the
men is uncontrovertible, though the
men claim they were not in Perth
Amboy and were only hired to take
the loot to New York.

Should Get Permanent

That Is If the Substance Used
is Lasting, He
Declares.
AGREES WITH AID. CLARK

Interest aroused concerning the
paving CT Amboy and New Brunswicb
avenues has caused F. A. Seaman
formerly chairman of the committee
on streets and sewers in the Board
of Aldermen, to write concerning the
subject. He contends that the ave
nues should be permanently paved
as far as possible, stating it was with
that intention that the city received
funds from the state motor vehicle
fund, by consent of the county.
Mr.. Seaman thinks that the pro.
position to resurface those portions
which cannot be permanently paved
at this time, as proposed by the
street department, is good. provided
it has been tried and found sufficient
ly lasting. He writes:
EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Having read your editorial of May
goth on the question of paving Am
boy and New Brunswick avenues
will you allow me the space to say
that | heartily agree with your view
of the matter? This question was up
for consideration in 1913 and the
following conclusions were arrived
at:
The county and the state wished
us to use the funds they granted us
to place permanent pavement on
both avenues as fast as we could
We all realized that the city was not
in a condition to pave them to the
township line; we also realized Il
was necessity to repair them Sc
they could be used until we could
pave them properly. We knew that
the repairs we were putting on them
would not carry them through the
year.
Knowing how much the problem
puzzled us, wish to say that think
the proposition of Mr.. Clark, chair
man of the street committee, to re-
pair both with a top dressing OF
small stone and bituminous OF
asphalt binder, is good proposition
if the parties offering to do the work
for fifteen cents square yard car
show that they have finished roads
in this manner, and the council have
looked up the work SO they are rea
