FOR S. |. CANAL TERMINAL
Merchants Association Says
District Needs One.

The location Of barge canal termi-
nal on Staten Island is being advocated
by the Merchants Association. Al
though each Of the other boroughs
will have terminals, the Borough of
Richmond has been overlooked in the
allotment.
The reasons a terminal should be
located there have been set forth by
s. c. Mead, secretary Of this associa-
ton, in a letter to State Engineer +.
NJ. Williams. He says, in part:
"We believe that the operation OF
the improved Erie Canal, with a proper
and adequate provision for terminals
in this city, will be Of great benefit
to the state and to the Port Of New
York.
ITO secure full advantage of this
benefit, however, il seems to us neces-
sary that the distribution Of canal
terminals in this port should include
a proper terminal in the Borough OF
Richmond on Staten Island. We un-
derstsnd that thus far no terminal
has been located on Staten Island"

ING why there is any need OF turther

ton, in design and in the manner OF
its construction it compares favorably
with any modern house of the same
class recently erected in the suburbs.
Twenty two family houses are to be
built at Chestnut and Brewster streets.
Each will have q frontage Of thirty
feet, the cost house being between
$4,000 and $4,000. All will be de-
tached. The plans for the houses have
been drawn by Harold Smith for the

Of st. Michaels Church, and is being
built on Madison Avenue, near Union

Enough of the structure has been con-
structed to furnish a building expert

II Is said the building will cost about
$4,000.
The Business Mems Association, OF
which George W. Pople is president,
has entered upon a big campaign, the
object Of which is to educate the resi-
dents Of Flushing to patronize home
stores. 1t has been estimated that
81, 100000 a year is spent by Flushing
residents in stores outside OF the town
that should have been spent in the
local retail centres. The committee
that will direct this work is to be en-
larged from eleven to twenty-five mem
bers. "Flushing has a more earnest
civic spirit" said a resident of the
place recently, "than any other centre
in the city" He added: "The indus
trial side Of Flushing has been dwarfed
for years. Everything Is likely to be
done hereafter to stimulate its e1-
psnsion along the most approved lines.
A barge canal terminal will be on
Flushing Bay. Hundreds Of acres OF
