PROSPECT OF CITY
PARK FOR GARDINER

President Ellis of the Gardiner
Board of Trade expressed himself
Monday as being strongly in favor of
the securing the mill pond property
from the present owners and filling it
in to make a public park and ball
field, provided that the property can
be secured at a fair valuations, This
idea should appeal strongly TO all
residents of Gardiner. OF course the
transformation from semi-marsh to
a park could not be wrought in a very
short time. The city authorities have
vainly endeavored to secure a suitable
location for a public dump. The pur-
chase OF this tract would supply an
ideal place for this. The work of filing
by use of a dump would take long
while and other means would be TAX
en-. President Ellis is positive that
money could be raised for the pur-
chase and the work OF filling. The idea
is grand one and it is earnestly hop
ed that it will in time be consumated.

under consideration several important
orders pertaining to common carriers
in Mississippi. Among the matters

filed by Commissioner Sheppard Of

logging line which, according to his
information and knowledge, has been
tr~ansacting business pertaining to q
common carrier, without official rec

Land and Lumber company railway,
owned and operated by the Robinson

crates between Chicora, or Robinson's
Junction, into Wayne county. 1t Is
specified that the line has been per-
forming the functions of a common
carrier by handling freight business,

regulations and supervision provided
for such carriers.
The commission has also taken the
initiative in applying the act Of 1914,
or the Mackey bill, giving the COM
mission jurisdiction of all municipal
| street railway plants, to the several
street railway companies owned and
operated in the state. Citation has
been issued to the V~icksburg Railway
and Light company to appear before
the commission on April 7 and show
cause, if any, why they should not be
required and directed to issue trans
fers to passengers, which it has not
done hitherto.
In addition to this, all such con-
Germs operating in the state will be
cited to appear and show cause why
they SHOULD not be required to equip
their cars with tenders and other de-
vices for the better protection OF life
