MARINE NEWS.

Completing a 10000 mile voyage
from New Orleans to Valparaiso and
Iquique, Chill, via the Panama canal
back to the port of her birth, the
American S. S. Nika, 1928 net tons,
Capt. h. i. Wheadon in command, ar
rived in this port Tuesday morning
from Mobile. Capt Wheadon reports
making the banner voyage OF any wood
type ship built in Southern waters
The Nika is a product of Moss Point,
constructed primarily for the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation and shortly
after the armistice became the prop
erty Of the Hodge Ship Company, pro-
jectors of the New Orleans Ecaudor
Steamship Line. Leaving Iquique with
3,l00 tons of nitrate of soda for Ma
tanzas, Cuba, the Nika demonstrated
the practicability of well-constructed
wood hulls. The engine department
IN the hands OF local machinists proved
satisfactory and perfect on the long
voyage. The personel of the engine
room is: Leonard Blumer, chief engi-
neer; Tuck Coulson, first assistant;
Malcomb Mcleod, second assistant
and Charlie McCann, third assistant,
all native and citizens of Moss Point
The Nika, after receiving minor re-
pairs and taking aboard part cargo of
timber, will proceed to New Orleans
for completion of cargo.

amusements for the ladies and chill
dren, bathing, boating, refreshments,

The services of the volunteer fire

NOTICE TO PUBLIC.
Pascagoula, Miss, June 8, 1920.
To the Citizens and Tax Payers of

Pascagoula, Miss, June 8, 1920.
To the Citizens and Tax Payers of
PascagOula:
The indifference with which many
persons owning COWS and hogs treat
the stock law, has made its enforce
ment both difficult and expensive. AS
rule, the same stock Is impounded
week after week. This expense falls
on those who do not own stock and
those who respect the law. &.
The street paving is nearing com
pletion, and an effort being made to
put our city on n basis with modern
municipalities. 1t is. therefore, neces-
sary to enlarge the limits for cows
and horses employ a pound officer to
give his entire time to catching stock,
and increase the pound fees to $1.50
for hogs, cows and horses. We shall
also enforce the ordinance against
owners OF $1,000 fine If stock found
at large the second time.
Mr.. Vigoroux has been employed as
pound officer and directed to enforce
the stock law without discrimination.
Another ordinance and state law
that is being crimnally disregarded by
many is speeding and careless and
reckless driving, a menace to life and
the safety of pedestrians. These
speeders and joy riders have no re-
spect for the law and no conception
of the sadness and sorrow that fol-
lows the loss of precious life
have directed the chief of police
to give the attention of the force to
the enforcement of this particular or
dinance. A new ordinance governing
parking, ETC., will be adopted in a few
days.
Affection is also called to paper,
trash, ETC., accommodating in front of
premises within paved districts, and
ordinance requiring owners or tenants
to keep sidewalk and to middle of
street clean of same. The police de-
partment has been directed to the en-
forcement of this ordinance. The city
has arranged to sweep or wash off
paved streets twice a week, and own
ers or tenants are requested to COM
ply with this ordinance and do their
part with reference to trash and pa
per.
Cooperation and not obstruction |
and criticism will greatly aid in these
and all other matters of interest to
the people.

A PALM BORDERED
BEACH DRIVEWAY

Market street, the only 100 foot
wide thoroughfare in our city, should
be made attractive as the principal
driveway to the seashore. Rows Of
palm trees fifty feet apart on both
sides of the avenue would enhance
the prospect from the l.. q n. intersec-
ton to the bay.
The Chronicle suggests that COM
mittee of Pascagoula boosters get to-
gether and formulate plans TO carry
out the improvement.
The beach is rapidly becoming the
popular resort of our growing popula-
tion and the demand for summer di-
versions is increasing with the desire
of our home folk to make good use of
Natures beautiful strand. There is
no body of water more adapted to
aquatic sports than the glistcning bay
of Pascagoula.

pletion of the wharf and rail connec-
ton will mean much for the future
growth of the export business of Pas

RIVERS AND HARBORS
BILL PASSED

The information that the rivers and
harbors bill failed to pass the last
Congress was erroneous. The bill
passed in the last hours of Congress,
carrying a lump sum appropriation of
24,000,000 OF this amount the port
Of Pascagoula will receive its pro
rata share, which will doubtless be
sufficient to finish the 21-foot project
It also means the continuation and
enlargement of the government ship
yard here, which will afford employ
ment to a large number of men.

The Facts Of the Telephone
Situation in North Carolina !.

SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE TELEGRAPH COMPANY
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1920-10-29

The greatly operation
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1920-10-29

Prior to the war, the telephone service in
North Carolina was equal TO the best. Serv-
ice reports from all parts VI the United
States establish this fact.
Today the service Is not equal to the pre-
war standard.
This Is the direct result of furnishing the
present abnogmally large volume OF service,
both exchange and toll.
We are now furnishing far greater vol
ume Of service than the plant was designed
and constructed to furnish. We had no al
tentative. The vital needs of the public
both commercial and social. required that
we do this.
This demand for service continues to grow
larger and more insistent Every telephone
that we install, and every additional toll
message that Is transmitted, before the ad-
ditions to the plant now under construction
are completed and put into service, delays
and prevents the improvement Of the
service.
Efficient telephone service involves two
fundamental prerequisites:
(a) Adequate facilities, including an un-
used margin OF not less than Is per
cent.
(b) An adequate force Of trained and skill
ed workers.
The amount Of switchboard equipment IN
every central office Is engineered upon the
basis Of the average daily number of calls
to be handled. This determines the number
Of operators positions for each switchboard.
Each operator can handle only given num-
Der Of calls per hour. When the number Of
calls per Sour exceed the maximum capacity
of the switchboard, and is beyond the human
endurance Of the operator. the connections
simply cannot b. promptly made.
Since the switchboards now in service
were installed the average daily number Of
calls has materially increased, SO that the
switchboards are today carrying a greater
load than they wers engineered and con-
structed to carry.
All surplus switchboard equipment has
