The wall is to be completed within
eighteen months.
In awarding this contract the Gov
ernment releases one of the most ex-
pensive ever given out for a single con-
tract for coast defense on either the
Atlantic or Pacific seaboard. And with
the contract comes the information that
the Federal engineers have finally
adopted the idea of seawall protection.
This is vastly different from the opinion
they held two years ago, when 1t was
claimed that the upright perpendicular
bulkheads were the only adequate solu-
tion to protecting beach front property.
Sandy Hook. from the north point that
faces Ambrose Channel, is said to be

Sea Bright borough. When one arrives
on the beach front about five miles from
the point of the Hook he is confronted with
a sector of unprotected beach front that
measures from the Shrewsbury River to
the sea no more than forty feet. This
narrow strip extends almost one hundred
yards, and at one time during one of the

inlet resulted which lasted for a number
OF years before the Government authori-

Thus with the erection of the Govern

money sought will mean that not only
will Japan get the benefit of skilled
leadership in Sunday school work, but
other countries where there also is a
great need likewise will be helped
If the budgets agreed upon in the six
teen divisions into which the State has
been divided for campaign purposes are
raised. the world association will be
able to place trained Sunday school men
at every national capital where there
now is none. They will push and apply
advanced American Bible study and re-

formed service of the highest order.
Major Harris remained with his COM
mand despite a broken collar bone until

"For extraordinary heroism in ac-

Der so, 1918. During an attack in the
Argonne Forest, Major Harris fell and
broke his collar bone. but he continued
with his battalion throughout the at

Coal Cars,
But No Coal

In cases of obvious misfts, the rail-
road administration made adjust
ments, but, irasmuch as the unifca-
tion of the roads tends to extensive
pooling of equipment, it is under
stood that in some instances roads
were required to finance the purchase
of equipment which was obviously un-
suited for use on their own lines.
The railroad administration gave the
orders for the standardized equipment
last April and May, and notified the
roads of the ALLEGATIONS in August.
The roads protested through the fall.
AS result of the cessation of hostili-
ties and the falling off Of railroad
traffic, the administration has recently
been comforting with representatives
of the equipment companies with a
view to adjusting the contracts. The
railroad corporations, which were called
upon to pay for the new equipment,
in most cases arranged to do SO by
means of an equipment trust agree
ment with the railroad administration
itself. Until the railroad administra-
tion began to be hampered by short
age of funds, it had been thought that
it would purchase the equipment out
of it's revolving fund, provided by
Congress. The railroad companies
almost uniformly complained that the
cost of equipment in war time was
nearly three times as much as normal.

Hudson Building
Bargain Closed
In Three Days
Johnson, of Pease & Eli
mans Office, Did the
Trick-Has Just Re-
turned From the Army

George Johnson. of pease & Eli
mans office, negotiated the sale of the
Hudson Building, the sixteen story
structure at 80 Broadway, which was
sold last week. Mr.. Johnson has been
in the army and has had very little
time to renew his acquaintance with
civilian customs and things generally
because it is only a short time since
Uncle Sam handed him his release to
come back to the real estate field.
An interesting phase of the Hudson
it was put through. On Thursday or
Friday of the previous week, Mr.. John
son submitted the Hudson Building to
the man who bought it. He had an
idea that he would be interested. He
was certain, however, that the property
at the price it was held at was q good
buy. The course Of things downtown
made it clear to johnson that present
values will not compare with those Of
the next few years. The limited area
of the tinancial district and the build
ing improvements planned for the
Bowling Green section, he argued,
are conducive to higher values.
Certain of his proposition, Mr.. John
son offered it to the man who bought
1t. The man was interested. He made
his bid and 1t was presented to the
Mutual Life Insurance Company. A
little more dickerine and both prnci-
pals agreed on the price, and soon after
the contracts for the transfer Of the
property were signed.
