SUGAR MOVES WITH
Remarkable SPEED

Never in the history of the sugar in
dustry in the Islands have there been
so many vessels all loading at one time
as at present. There are enough for
every port in, the Islands aud at Least
three over, The problem now is how
to handle the vessels, for it is known
that six other Sugar carriers are en-
voyage here. Once the shipping board
gets really pto action it jumps into
"quantity production with a venge-
ance.
With the shipments that have al
reready left the Territory this month
and are to go on vessels now loading
or soon ready to load the shipments for
the month of August will pass 1900
tone. Some of the vessels now en- vOy-
age to Hawaii may reach here and load
and depart before the end of the cur
rent month so it is considered a safe
estimate that August shipments may
reach 5000 tons.
With this big movement of sugars it
appears likely that the greater part of
the crop will have been moved by the
end of September, of course assuming
a continuance of the present speed. 1t
is estimated there is still about 5000
tons to be ground and that at the end
Of the month there will be only about
l26;O00 tons left to be shipped and by
September 30 all but 40, tons may
have left.

Sergeant Lefgreen's eyes shone
when he spoke of the feats of Com
pany d, the Perth Amboy company,
which was organized at Camp Dix In
September. 1917. THAT is one of the
real companies" he said.
He sailed in May and was first on

nif1cent American drive toward Metz.
His company was holding an outposr

alton hospital number IL. He is now
over in the Fox Hills hospital and will

city for the day. Sergeant Lefgreen is
able to get around fairly well on his
crutches and will soon be able. he
hopes, to walk without their aid.

WANT 100000
POLICE STATION
Alderman Reidy Father of Plan
for New Headquarters on
City Owned Land

The prospect for the erection of a
new police station on city owned
property at New Brunswick avenue
and Fayette streets has been engag-
ing the attention of city authorities
and as the need for such an improve
ment manifests itself more and more
the matter is being brought to the
fore.
Alderman Benjamin Reidy, OF the
sixth ward, chairman of the commit
tee on police of the city council, plans
within a short time to bring to the
attention of the board his plans for
the new headquarters which, II erect
ed after his ideas. would cost in the
neighborhood of 100000.
At Friday nights committee meet
ing of the board the alderman
brought out the fact that the present
headquarters are entirely inadequate,
are out of date. insanitary and entire
ly boo crowded.
the present station house consists
of station room, a city Jail and a
recorders room on the first floor. and
Offices for detectives and chief and a
recreational room for the police on
the city Jail have been revolting for
some time past, but for lack of suit
able remedy have continued to exist.
The total inadequacy of the Jail
was demonstrated on Saturday night
when there were so many prisoners
and witnesses locked up that 1t was
finally found necessary to relieve
some of the latter with instructions
to report at trials later. This condi-
tion has existed for some time past
on Saturdays and Sundays and on
some holidays. At times 1t has been
necessary to use the other rooms Of
the headquarters for the accommo oda-
ton of prisoners when the lookup be-
came too crowded. 1t is this condi-
ton that Alderman Reidy is anxious
to do away with.
With the addition of more men to
the police force shortly, and the re-
turn of the members of the force who
have been In the service, the accom-
modations will be more cramped than
at the present time.
Mayor TenBroeck has written to
Washington a request that all patrol
men from this city who are now In
the service be released as soon as
practicable. as they are sorely needed
here.
