Engineer Rice, in response to a re-
quest, said that the approximate eost
of building the boulevard road would
be $35, 900 a mile. The approxim ate
cost of trestle bridges not less than 30
feet wide. as required by the state,
would be $40 per lineal foot. The draw
bridges would cost SAC, 900 each. The
total approximate cost would be
$905, 600, this including the work that
is being done neal Ocean City.
Collector Seull wanted TO know about
the cost of building the approaches to
the bridges.
Mr.. Rice said he hadn't figured on
this. This work, he estimated, would
add $780, 900 to his figures. Below Cor
sons Inlet, the cost would be 1886, 900
for roads and 1920, 900 for bridges, of
which the state would ray its share.
The whole would cost $735, 900 south of
Corson's Inlet in the opinion Of the
engineer, the net cost probably reach
ing 1864, 900. Mr.. Rutherford thanked
those present for giving their views
and the meeting adjourned Ocean

the representatives OF the mine work
ers, beginning in this city Feb. 81,
there will be no cessation Of work by
members Of the union. This is in
keeping with the promise made by the
miners at the recent convention in
Indianapolis.
The anthracite operators assert in
their reply to the mine workers that
to grant the wage increase would
mean an advance to the consumer of
anthracite. They declare the indus
try already is being conducted on as
low margin Of profit as possible and
to take on additional burdens would
result in hardship on the public.
The demands of the miners were
formulated at their tri- district con-
vention at Wilkesbarre, Sept. I, 1915.
and were Endorsed at the Indianapolis
convention.
The miners demanded that the two
year contract with the operators be-
gin April 1, 1916, and that the making
of individual agreements and contracts
be prohibited; that in addition to an
eight hour day, they be paid time and
a half for overtime and double time for
Sundays and holidays; that more
speedy means be devised for adjusting
grievances; that mining supplies be
sold to the miners on a more equitable
basis and that the arrang ements Of de-
tailed wage scales and the settlement
of internal questions, both as regards
prices and conditions, be referred to
the representatives of the operators
and miners of each district.

MORE COLOR IN MEMS CLOTHES
international Cutters Decree That APP
parel 10 Too Somber.

Kansas City, Feb. 5.-More color in
mems clothes and more attention to eff
feet rather than fit were the two pre-
dominant topics in the discussions Of
the thirty-sixth annual convention of
the International Custom Cutters AS
ISOLATION which closed here today.
Men have been dressed entirely too
somberly heretofore" said Farr l..
ISOLATION. "One Of the problems of the
twentieth century tailor will be to see
that more color Is used. Put men be-
side fashionably dressed women and
they look like they were going to a
funeral.
Another important change in the
tailoring business is, the plan to make
clothes that will give the man an APP
pearance of perfection. The tailor
used to make clothes to fit the mans
form and these clothes usually mag
nified his defects. Now the designer
pays more attention to effect. He
knows what kind Of suit looks good
on an average man-5 feet, 8 inches
tall. weighing 145 pounds-so he de-
signs the suit with the idea of MAX
ing the man look perfect even If he
Is not"
The custom cutters made a strong
effort to standardize the Nations
STYLES. Members of the fashion COM
mittee stated that there was much
difference in the styles of the east and
the west but that a systematic cam
paign was being waged to make mems
styles national rather than local..

LANE DEFENDS OIL BOOST.
Consumption Increases Faster Than
Output, Declares Cabinet Member.

SuAPut, DeStdTSS SA0tHee "eun0oT.
Washington, Feb. 5.-Secretary Lane
reported to the senate in response to
the McCumber resolution, justifying in
a measure the prevailing high prices
of gasolene and destroying the hope
Of the gasolene user that these prices
would be materially reduced
This report, which was prepared by
the geological survey and compiled
from the records of the oil industry Of
the United States is an extension Of
the statement recently given out by
the survey to the effect that the pro-
duction of crude oil last year was
greater than the year before.
Secretary Lane shows that, while the
oil supply has increased, the con-
sumption of gasolene has increased at
far greater rate. The demand for
sasolene in 1915 was 25 per cent
greater than in 1914, and the predic-
ton is made that the demand in 1915
will be approximately 25 per cent
greater than in 1915.
An enormous increase is shown in
the consumption of gasolene. since
1899. Only $3.50, 600 barrels were mar
keted that year. BY 1915 the con-
sumption had jumped to 41,S00,000
barrels. ...
Another reason given for the short
age Of gasolene was the increased eX-
portation Of the product due to the
war The exports of 1914 exceeded
those of 1918 by 500, 900 barrels. and the
exports of 1915 exceeded those for 1914
by 100000 barrels.
While it is true that the crude oil
production has increased within the
last year. it seems from the report
that the yield of petroleum containing
a high percentage of gasolene has not
increased, but has decreased in some
fields. Ill
The depletion of the gasoline stock
due to the extraordinary domestic de-
mand is another element. the report
says, which has influenced the pre-
vailing prices. On Jan. 1. 1915, the
gasolene in storage amounted to about
100000 barrels. One year later this
reserve supply was practically ex
hausted.
Oil operators as a body are not held
responsible for the rise in the price,
but the report indicates the refiners are
in a position to control the prices to
some extent.
The immediate future promises little
relief from the high prices. The re-
port says nothing about the recently
heralded discovery Of the bureau Of
mines that was designed to give the
country scent a gallon gasolene of a
high grade.
