ing today in nearly a week of the com
mittee OF naval experts the question of
a 60 or 20 per cent naval ratio for ia
pan, upon which there has been no in
dicatlOn of an agreement in the commit
tee had become the outstanding issue of
the conference through the definite an
nomcement by Vice Admiral Kato.
chief Japanese naval expert. that Japan
wants the 20 per cent status. In the
first authoritative announcement that
japan sought to replace the ratio basis
OF the American naval limitation pro-
Uosal giving her a 60 per cent status for
her fleet Admiral katO declared this
was the minimum necessary for Japan s
security.
Against this definite announcement of
the Japanese position the American ma
val experts still gave every indication
today OF firm adherence to the belief
that 60 per cent for japan is the maxi
mum naval strength that could be ac-
ceDted in view of American liabilities
and interests in the Pacific.
In addition to q fnal agreement looked
for today gradually to abolish the sys-
tern Of cvtra territorial rights in China

set up their own courts there, the Far

COVERED BRIDGE
TO.BE REPAIRED
Be Done Nights So as to Cause
Minimum Traffic interference

Road Commissioner c.. J. Dube said
today that repair work would be
started next Tuesday night on the high
way bridge over the mouth of the West
river near the so-called Eaton place. and
that the work would be carried on nights
so as to interfere as little as possible
with traffic.
The bridge will be closed between the
hours of o'clock in the evening and ,
O'Clock in the morning each night while
the repairs are being made. This plan has
been adopted by the road commissioner,
who says that the work will be done in
sections 1t is the purpose of Mr.. Dube
to interfere as little as possible with the
convenience of the travelling public. In
case a physician should find it necessary
to travel the road at night some arrange
ment viii be made whereby he will be
allowed to 90 through the bridge.
The extent to which repairs will be
necessary will not be known definitely
until the work is begun, as it may be
found that new stringers win have to be
put in. 1t is certain that new flooring
will be laid.
Mr.. Dube said that the work had been
put off until this time in order that it
might be done at n time when there was
the least traffic and that he believed with
the travelling conditions as they are at
present the time to undertake the work
