SALOONS SELL 4 PER CENT,h7ALT DRINKS OPENLY

Providence, R. l., Nov. 1.-The police commission today decided to act under the preliminary injunction granted by Federal Judge Arthur A. Brown against the enforcement of the war time prohibition act and to allow the saloons to sell malt bev- erages containing not more than 4 per cent alcohol without interfer- ence. This attitude was taken upon advice of the solicitor.
 The commission announced that while the police department would not gather any evidence of sales the dealers would have to assume all re- sponsibiity. The dealers all have licenses under the act passed by the last session of the general assembl which permits them to be licensed tor the sale of ''non-intoxicating bev- erages containing not more than four percent of alcohol"
 Upon the announcement of the commissions decision nearly all the saloons opened again today.
 in Pawtucket many liquor dealers were openly selling four per cent beer, although the license comnis- sioners said they did so on their own responsibility.

 They also ask the cooperation of the press. It would help greatly if the newspapers on the day before the big games would call attention of the driving public to the serious possi7oil- ities on account of the heavy traffic and would ask for careful operation and especially for careful inspection before starting. of brakes and horn on the car.

MAJOR KERR'S GIANT BOMBER
 STARTS FLIGHT
To Demonstrate Worth of Air Transportation for
 Rush Express Matter.

Mineola, N. Y, Nov. 14-1n the face of a 20 miles northwest wind, the giant Handley-Page bombing plane, commanded by Vice Admiral Mark Kerr, started from Mitchell Field here at o'clock this morning on an attempted nonstop flight to Chicago. The plane carried eight passengers and 1,50O pounds of wom- ems clothing and furs for the Amer ican Railway Express Company. Ad- miral Kerr expected the trip to take about ten hours.
 Major J. Brackley, of the British Royal Air Forces, pi1oted the giant craft Colonel Archie Miller, com manding all army aviation fields, on Long Island was on board as a guest of Admiral Kerr.
 A represeE tative of the express company and four mechanics were the other passengers. a
 The purpose of the flight is to dem onstrate the possibility of aerial trans por,ation for rush express matter. A whole business will be saved in the delivery of the express packages on board if the flight is successful.
 The plane itself is the largest type land ? ane in existence and has a cargo capacity of between six and en tons. The machine was built to bomb Berlin and other large German cities, but was not completed until after the arraiStice.

RIIM0R CLAIMS
 BELF0RTE HAS
 BEEN RELEASED

Although the rumor could not be confirmed through Coroner Eli Mix, of New Haven. it was learned on very reliable autnor>ty this morning, that Edward Belforte, of Walnut Beach, who was arrested some time ago in connection with the Binlowitz mur- der mystery, has been released from custody Cora Aube, of this city. has also been freed.
 The release Of Belforte and the Aube woman clears all of the local people who were arrested in the big murder roundup a month ago. The Aube woman is said to be the wife of Hartford Jimmy" Lewis, or Del mar, who was also set free q few days ago. Belforte was the alleged proprietor of a roadhouse at Walnut Beach, and was arrested as a member of the gang which was believed to be responsible for the death of Benjamin Binkowitz. and the theft of Liberty bonds valued at S17O,000.

GARFIELD TO PROTECT PUBLIC
 AGAINST RAISE
CContinued From Page One.)

CContinued From Page One.)
 The conference today will open with negotiations where they were left off in the meeting preceding the strike. Secretary of Labor Wilson believes an agreement will be reach ed, but the basis for it has not been suggested.
 There are still charges and counter charges between operators and miners, and last night Samuel Com pers came into the situation by issu- ing a statement virtually challenging g the veracity of former Attorney Gen eraI Thomas Gregory, with regard to alleged understandings about the eff feet of the Lever law upon organized labor.
 The indications of difficulties in ar irving at an agreement brought into relief the proposal that Dr. Garfield, Fuel Administrator, should sit in the conference as the representative of the people, and prevent a possible slyrocketing of coal prices because of the prospective wage increases. The increase in wages will in the. end show up on the consumers bill, and the same reasoning that brought the Presidents proclamation declaring the strike unlawful points to the neces- sity of the presence Of a representa- tive of the public.
 pr. Garfield has been invited to sit in by Secretary of Labor Wilson, the Cabinet generally having approved the suggestion, but whether he will be permitted to take an active part in the settlement does not appear. It is conceivable that he will not be over-welcome to either employers or employees, as his influence will nat urally tend to limit the height to which prices and wages can go.

A CONCRETE PAVED CITY (By William R. Pouder, City Manager of Kingsport,
 Tenn)

When in 1917 the City of Kingsport, Tennessee, decided to pave the streets with concrete, it was after careful studying of the local needs, the supply of mater ials, the available labor, and the initial and final cost of pavement types. The equipment needed for concrete paving was neither in- tricate nor exceedingly eXpen- sive. All the materials including cement could be secured locally; and the work could be done largely with unskilled labor, di- rected by a few capable engin- eers familiar with the best prac- tice.
 During the following two years over $2OO,000 was expended for concrete street pavements, con crete bridges and concrete walks all of which were constructed by the city's forces. The costs for one course concrete pavement. six inches thick using a, mixture of 1:2:3 have ranged from s1.1O per square yard to $50 per square val U, "4lIl lCibOI lciIlS-l 1IOIIl S2.00 per day before the war to S3.50 per day.
 The paving work planned for 1919 includes more than 10000 square yards of concrete streets, all of which we expect to com plete with our own forces before the end of the year. The neces- sary system of storm drains and sanitary sewers is being pushed as rapidly as possible to keep that work ahead of the paving operations. The specifications in cludfng the integral curb, wide radius turns and the most care fuI methods of curing the new pavement.
 Historically, Kingsport has been a remarkable example of careful and well directed town planning. In 1907 when the Car olina, CHnchfieId and Ohio Rail- road was built through the east ern point of Tennessee connect ing the coal fields with the east ern railways. George L. Carter, who was president of the rail- way company, conceived the idea of building this town. He pur- chased large acreage of rolling farm land, and set an engineer ing force to the task of laying

out on modern lines a system of streets and roads which would ultimately serve a community of fifty thousand persons.
 In 1915, Blair and Company, c banking firm of New York, took over the holding and constructed a, number of industries John NOlen, a, city planner of national prominence was retained to take charge of the development of the town and MT. Nolen's staff has been engaged on this work of de- velopment of additions and in the planting and parkway inn provements continuously since that time. From a population of $50 in 1910, and 1900 in 1915. the town of Kingsport had grown to 10000 in March, 1917 when the new city government was organized.
 A modern charter was drawn up by the staff experts of the New York Bureau of Municipal Research, and the National Mun- icipal League, assisted by men in contact with the actual opera ting problems of city govern ment. The resulting charter is said to be one of the most per feet instruments of it's kind. Under this form of government the construction forces of the city have built not only the con- crete street and sidewalk pave ments and bridges but have con- pIeted a splendid Central High School building largely of rein forced concrete.
 AS to durability our pavements have stood up in every case. The City authorities, engineers and taxpayers generally are so thor oughly satisfied with the type of paving construction employed that no other form will be con- sidered at anything near equal to cost. We do not know, however, of another first class hard fin ished pavement that can be con- structed at anything near the cost of concrete. As modern traf- fic is almost wholly rubber tired, we have had no complaints aris- ing from noise of vehicles driv- ing over the pavement Our streets are flushed nightly by motor driven apparatus and the
 light surface always presents an immaculate appearance.
