Needless to say the Bay St. Loui:

perty saved from destruction last week
more than paid for itself.
While Biloxi and Gulfport are only
now agitating the building of seawaH
Bay ST. Louis the past two years was
quietly building a seawall, which gooG
work will be continued forgetting
our sister town of Wayeland.

The Board of Mayor and Aldermen
of Waveland held regular monthly
meeting Tuesday night. That body
decided not to spend one cent on the
front beach road-that to let the road
remain in its present condition for a
time at least or until the seawall com

Kiln, begs to announce to his friends
and former patrons that he will be in
Bay ST. Louis, at the Gex Build

F. A. Torseh, senior member of the
Peerless Packing Co., reached here from
Baltimore, Md, during the early part
of the week and is spending a fortnight
in this city in the local interest of his
company, and is guest at the home of
Mr.. Firsching. The Echo is glad to
earn that the Peerless plant will be re-
built at once, and it is expected will be
in active operation within 50 days.
Sam Benigno is reported better and
on the high road to recovery. He was
taken to the Kings Daughters hospital
at Gulfport Sunday, accompanied by
Or. Jno. 5. Adams. It will be remem-
q &C, as tod III Inc Echo columns,
8enigno was caught under The ruins OF
MS storm wrecked barn under which
swo horses were found dead, and where
ae was pinned from 6 to 10 O'Clock
before rescued. He was seriously hurt
and it was at first thought he would not
survive his injuries.
The official publication of the city's
annual financial statement in this issue
of The Echo occupies much of the re-
gular reading space and delays the
time of publication somewhat. Secre-
tary and City Auditor O'Brien has
rendered a creditable statement COM
prehensive and covering g complete
scope Of city finances. We find the
city's monies have been well spent and
the conditions of the treasury is in far
better condition than has generally
been the case in the past.
Circuit Court for Hancock County
did not convene Monday morning, as
| scheduled for the first Monday in Oc-
Itober. Judge Neville was here from
Gulfport Saturday, and, after consult
ing with local attorneys, decided that
| due to the adverse condition resulting
from the storm, it would be well to
Ipretermit the term. Accordingly, the
| Judge issued an order convening the
court for criminal business only on
Monday, October 18th. However, Judge
| Neville will be here next Monday morn
| ing, the ftth, for preliminary work,
but the jurors, witnesses and others
need not report until the 18th.

| ed wall, which will be officially adopted
lnext Monday night and bids for same

| In its write-up last week OF the storm
damages along the beach front, Til
Echo inadvertently omitted to mention
the losses of many OF our people. TIL
devastation is SO general and widesprea,
that no attempt was made to embody
mention Of all. Among the prominen
losses net mentioned was the pictur
theatre building Of James LefebvTe, o
