THE MUNICIPAL
 DOCK QUESTION

The question of building a municipal dock is coming before the voters at he coming election Before 1t can be decided it will be necessary to see if we have the necessary funds.
 We first must provide for our regu- 'ar salaries and expenses for running the school and the town. Then comes rAneraI street repairs, new streets, fire apparatus, etc.
 1t is very necessary that an addi- tional float to provide better facali- ties for the fishermen and small boats.
 Consideration should be given to permanent fire hall and jail After he serious accident of the last week when the jail was burned and the fire hall damaged, it is up to the town to orovide more suitable building where fife and property may be protected.
 The city owns a piece of property centrally located on which concrete IT fire-proof town hall could be cons - 'SE'SU III WiitS1 oAI VI VI si'O HSN'AA S interests could be located, having the fire hall and police station on the round floor and the library and the -ouncil chamber above.

 The rock that will be taken from the hank property should be used by the 7ity in cnstructing a permanent street ', the immediate vicinity.
 This will require considerable labor for retaining walls will have to be constructed in addition to the handling of a large amount of rock. 1t will be -ssily seen that there are numerous expenditures which will consume the samll amount of taxes at our disposal.

 BUILDING GIANT
 AiRPLANE-- E--REPORT


 Another great British alrship made a trial flight today. She Is the R-34, and four feet longer than her sister ship, R-33, her length being 665 feet and diameter 30 feet. Five engines rive her total of 1,2so horse power, and she is expected to make eighty miles an hour with load of 2s tons. The R-34 can carry enough petrol to fly to America and back without land 'ng, and when once she is tuned up she is expected to be able to negotiate he Atlantic flight practically regard less of weather conditions, says the ondon Times.
 British preparations for a transat- 'antic contest are not confined to air ships Several heavier-than-air ma chimes are made or in the making, the hest known among them being the uandley Page products. There is, how ,ver, another plane, rrather set of -lanes of which little has been said. but which are being fitted out and turned up for the special requirements oe a transatlantic flight. This squadron is under the command Of It. Col. Porte whose name is familiar in American -viation circles. It's squadron of fly ing boats is called the Felixtowe Flu -ies," from the seaside resort which IS .hair headouarters. During the later stages of the war Porte's Furies did treat war against the German subma- rines. and now their commanders are n"t for fresh iaurels.
 General seeiy's claim that Great ?

 General Seely referred to a mystery plane "conceived by brilliant brain and entirely novel in type" now under construction.
 This machine, General Seely said, night attain speeds hitherto undream- d of, and possesses qualities of kind different from anything yet seen. 1t is known as the Tarrant. 1t will be driven by six engines developing 5000 horse power. 1t Is on entirely novel lines, which are expected to insure greater control and stability than the most perfect types previously devised,
