DOCK PROJECT
IS DISCUSSED
City Commissioners Meet With
Officials of Pensacola
Shipbuilding Co.
PLANS ARE SUBMITTED
Commissioners Are Considering
Four Different Sites, Mayor
Sanders Says.

Municipal docks were again consid-
cred by the city commissioners yester-
day afternoon, when that body visited
the Pensacola Shipbuilding Co. to go
into details of the plans for the docks.
Engineers of the plant are working on
these plans and the visit of the COM
missioners was to inspect their pro-
gress and consider suggestions offered
by the engineers.
The city has four available sites
for the docks, declared MaycI Sanders
yesterday, and tie engineers will be
consulted befoe making a selection of
the place where the dock will be built.
They have these places under consid-
Grafton and the dock plans will be
adapted to the available sites.
The shipbuilding company will
probably enter bids for the construc-
ton of the docks when the bonds have
been floated, the mayor stated, and
other concerns have intimated that
they would enter bids when these are
called for.
Just when the city would be ready
to take Official action on the plans
of the proposed docks the mayor did
not intimate. The engineers of the ship
company were not authoritatively
asked to draw up plans for the docks,
he said, but they had offered to sub
init plans suitable for docks that
would fill the needs of Pensacola.
Their offer had been accepted, the
mayor said, though the city had not
agreed to accept the plans

DEATH RATE IS
LOWEST KNOWN
Commission Pou Believes Strict
Enforcement of Health
Ordinances is Reason.
WILL ARREST vIoLATORs
Garbage Cans Must Be Kept
Tightly Covered to Aid in
Anti-Rat Campaign.

Pensacola's death rate during the
month of July was lower than for
any similar period in the past 20
years, declared Commissioner Frank
Pou, in charge of the department of
health of the city, yesterday afternoon.
There is an unusually low percen-
tage of sickness in the city at pres
ent, and the death rate during the
present month is expected to be lower
than during the month just closed.
The commissioner said that this
might be due to the fact that the Cit
izens had awakened to the necessity
of keeping their premises thoroughly
clean on~ account of the outbreak of
the plague in the city
Strict enforcement of the rat ordi-
nance will be carried out, the commits
sioner reiterated yesterday, and the
garbage law will be especially en-
forced. Mr.. Pou stated that instructions
had been issued to place under arrest
anyone who was not carrying out the
provisions of the ordinance in keeping
refuse food and scraps in tightly COW
cred garbage cans. These cans must be
kept covered with rat proof lids at
all times while awaiting the garbage
hauiers and every effort to rid the
city of rats must be made.
To date, $500 rats have been caught
by the trappers and have been exam
ined at the laboratory building OF
these only % have been found to be
plague infected. Most of these were
caught in one section of the city
Two infected rats were found on W.
Main street Monday afternoon. and
this new area will be given additional
service by the garbage wagons. Wag-
ons haul daily from the sections where
the infected rats have been found and
the new section will be given the
same.
The garbage dump will be burned
twice each week in the future, instead
of once as formerly, the burning to be
made with oil. Two barrels of oil are
used in each burning, and the rat dens
and harbors in the dump will be
thoroughly eliminated.
Many buildings have been rat-proof
ed already, and the ones which have
been designated as not being rat
proof must be made so as soon as pos
sible, announced Mr.. Pou yesterday
Notices are being sent each owner
stating just what must be done in
each building to bring it up to the
specifications of the recent ordinance
as passed by the commissioners and
these provisions must be carried out

HOG ISLAND SOON
RELEASE WORKERS
(Ry Associated Press. )

Philadelphia, Aug. 4-The return of
shipyards located along the Delaware
river to competitive basis of oper-
alton rather than that of obtaining
contracts through the government is
being reflected in the labor market.
Many men who made big wages in
these yards have returned to the
trades they followe dbefore the war.
In consequence there has been a no
ticeable easing of the labor market.
Workers are being shifted from one
department of the plants to another
as various contracts are closed. At
the yard of the New York Shipbuild-
ing Corporation, only four torpedo
boats are on the ways out of the great
fleet built there. :.
Hog Island is soon to shut down and
turn loose many thousands of workers.

ride of which an authentic account has
been given is held by Lieut.. Penchkof
Of the Russian cavalry. In 1882 he
rode from his station in distant ST.
IBERIA, q place with an unpronounce-
able nare, to st. Petersburg, dis
tance of over 5000 miles, in 1913 days
This was more of an endurance than
a speed test. Riding an ordinary pony
of Siberian breed carrying no baggage
or provisions, he averaged thirty seven
miles day and often made more thar
fifty-six miles q day. He rested at
night. He used the same horse
throughout the trip. Starting, every
morning at 7, he generally made but
one stop for rest during the day, sim
ply loosening the girde Of his saddle
while resting, but retired every night at
8. AS he approached st. Petersburg
after his long ride life guard regi-
ment with two bands met him and cs-
corted him into the city, where he was
received by the czar and knighted for
his achievement.

That Miguel Saayedra wrote the i'm.

that his full name, Miguel de Ger

known.
