GAINS BRING CHEER
TO WEST VIRGINIA
Cities Throughout State Re-

Holiday Sales.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, December 80.
West Virginia is prepared to begin
the new year with more confidence
than has marked the beginning of any
new year since the depression laid its
grip upon the country.
While conditions, on the whole, are
far from what they were in past normal
years, there has been an unmiStakable
upturn In recent months that finds re-
Election in increased optimism and
hopefulness. One basis Of this feeling
is the large holiday trade. Cities and
towns throughout the State almost
without exception reported greatly in
creased sales over last year. These re-
ports were interpreted as showing that
more money is going into pay rolls and
that the recipients are not yielding to
fear and holding it but are spending
freely for necessities and comforts.
Other encouraging signs are seen in
plans for increased production of some
industrial plants. A large concern here
that makes glass bottles has announced
that the local plant would go on capac-
ity schedule early in the new year, with
indications that this rate of production
would be maintained indefinitely"
New Chemical Industry.
Charleston received further encour-
agement in a statement by S. P. Puffer,
managing director of the Charleston
Chamber of Commerce, that new
chemical industry is considering estab-
fishing a plant here. Should it decide
upon the step, he said, it would spend
$4,000, 900 on construction alone. He
did not reveal the name of the concern.
Following a survey of industrial con-
ditionS In the Kanawha Valley, the
chambers director said that pay rolls
Of plants generally had been maintained
at 100 per cent since September l.

in operation throughout the State have

still remain on the relief rolls, with the

TRENTON, N. j., December 30
The Home Owners Loan Corporation in
New Jersey is being reorganized by the
Democratic administration because Of
charges that politics has entered the
personnel and policies of the relief
agency.
Carroll W. johnson, Republican, Of
F1orham Park, has been sent here as
manager of a new wholesale division"
of the corporation. G. Frank Stanley,
organization Democrat and State man
ager Of the corporation, ostensibly will
remain in charge, but reports are that
eventually the wholesale division will
absorb all the functions in the State.
johnson wasted no time when placed
in charge. He said he was delegated
to expedite the making of loans and to
eliminate politics Shanley was the
appointee of the Democratic organiza-
sey City, none too cordially received
by the Roosevelt administration.
Hopes to End Politics
"The New Jersey branch" said John
son, has been playing politics in ap-
pointments and in the few loans that
have been granted. We have cut out
politics altogether and put mortgage
men in charge of the work" He de-
clared the New Jersey branch has been
"one of the most inefficient in the
country"
Examination Of the home loan books
revealed that, although 10000 appli-
cations had been filed, only 11a loans
had been granted, their amounts aggre-
eating S572,346. The corporation re-
jected 960 applications for loans total
ing S5, 5,689, ,73O.
johnson said the primary purpose of
the new division will be to grant blanket
loans to mortgage and trust companies,
building and loan associations and other
organizations with large blocks OF prop
erty. Offices have been opened IN
Newark, Atlantic City and Camden.
Others will be opened soon in Jersey

RICHMOND, Va. December 30.-In
Virginia the civil works program is 60

istration has received more praise than
any of the other administrative agen-
cieS which have been formed for the
advancement of the Roosevelt recovery

which action has come from that
source. Proposals for projects are dis
posed of one way or the other on the
few cases, and when they are ap-
proved the work gets under way, as
rule. within a week or less.
Public Works Slower.
Virginia is not so well pleased with
the situation in regard to the Public

of its public works quota, Gov. Pollard
has pointed out that all but a small
part of this has been for the con-

material for which will be purchased
in other States.
1t is also pointed out that great
part Of the remainder of the funds
allotted to Virginia are for purely Fed
eral projects.
Liquor Plan Favored.
The recommendation Of the State
Liquor Control Committee that alco-
holic beverages be dispensed in this
State under a State monopoly plan
has met with general acceptance, but
a fight before the General Assembly
is looming on the question of how the
beverage board shall be constituted.
The committee recommended a board
Of three members to work full time
and be paid a salary of $500 each.
Gov. Pollard is opposing this plan.
He believes that the organization
should be something like that of the
State Highway Commission, with a
well paid, full time executive as chair
man Of the board, and with the other
members Of the board receiving only
q per diem compensation during the
time they are actually in session.

Farmers Have Been Aided.

The rosy picture Is especially report
ed from the agricultural sections. Ala
bama farmers, through the efforts of
the administration on behalf of the
growers, are better off than they have
been in years and the condition is be-
ing reflected in the business of small
town merchants.
The only shady spot in the whole re-
covery movement in Alabama at present
is a widespread criticism of the c. w.
A. powers in the State for an alleged
discrimination against local workers.
Charges have been made by various
bodies, including the Alabama Trades
Council, that the c. w. A. has sent out
Of the State for trained employs when
such employees could be had here. The
charges are now being investigated by
Thad Holt, State administrator.

Accompanying these charges was an

required to take dictation from him.
This situation, Mr.. Holt promised, would

WILMINGTON, Del, December
3o.-Concentrated very largely in
the last weeks business, the
Christmas retail trade may give
Delaware merchants a profitable
year.
Official tabulation and COM
parison of business is expected to
show a gain over the 1882 holi-
day trade Of 20 per cent. The
most important factor pointing to
this is a jump of approximately
million dollars in bank clearing
in this city in the week just prior
to Christmas, when these finan-
cial transactions jumped to 81
S51 ,725.l0. as compared with
S1,983, ,458.74 for the correspond

Chamber of Commerce officials
in tracing the source of this gain,
point to the Is to 20 per cent in

TWO FERRY LINES
One Proposal to Administra.
tion Would Shorten D. C..
Eastern Shore Trip.
BY ]. c. DEPONAI.

special Dlspatch 10 Inc Star.
BALTIMORE, December 30.-Two
high-speed ferry lines operated by the
State are being urged on the adninis-
tration by residents of both Baltimore
and the Eastern Shore.
The plan includes the taking over
of the Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry CO.
and the establishment of new ferry
from Sandy Point to Matapeake, which
would require only IS minutes in cross
ing the bay.
This new ferry from Sandy Point
would connect directly with the Grain
Highway and shorten the distance from
Washington to the Eastern Shore by
miles, as well as saving an hour in
crossing the bay.
Advocates of the new ferry service
between Matapeake and Sandy Point, to
supplement the present service from
Annapolis to Matapeake and Claiborne,
claim new adherents to their cause.
Among the reinforcenents are the
commissioners of Anne Arundel Coun-
| ty and prominent business houses Of
Baltimore and the Eastern Shore.
Legislation Proposed.
The plan for a Matapeake- Sandy
Point ferry includes a proposal that
the State take over the present ferry
service, now being operated between
the Eastern and Western Shores.
I'VE expect to see introduced in the
Legislature a bill to that effect and
are hopeful of its passage" said w. T.
Emory of Annapolis, now engaged in
marshaling support for the new ferry
plan. together with ex-senator Frank
M. Duval. Anne Arundel County, and
Clarence Soper of Baltimore.
The State can then take three
boats new being operated from An
napolis and split then1-keeping two
on the Annapolis-Matapeake and An
napolis sClaiborne routes and putting
the other into service between Kent
Island and Sandy Point.
with a fast, frequent and econoni-
cal service there, it would be necessary
to construct only about miles OF road
between Sandy Point and Jones Sta
tion to give us a quick route between
Baltimore and the shore.
Great Saving in Time.
"It would save approximately -
miles on the route from Matapeake to
Baltimore. The saving in time would
be even greater because the traffC 0D'
stacles in Annapolis would be avoided.
With the proposed widening of the An
napols Boulevard to Severna Park, 1
mile from Jones Station, Eastern
Shoremen would have a direct route to
Baltimore.
The Denton Chamber Of Commerce.
a large sea food packing company at
Crisfield, and several business concerns
which have men regularly using the
routes between Baltimore and the East
ern Shore. have declared their support
for the plan," said Mr.. Emory.
