BRITAIN APPEALS
FOR CARGO SHIPS

LONDON, Nov. 26.-lR-The Brit
4sh government acknowledged to-
night that it's merchant ships are
being sent to the bottom faster than
they are being replaced, and publicly
appealed to "the shipyards of the
United States" to help make up the
difference.
".... By themselves" said minis
ter of shipping Ronald H. Cross In
a broadcast, 1.-The of the
empire are not enough.
II am not going to hide the fact
that the rate at which we are build
ing ships does not make up for our
losses.
1--WE must have ships. Our life
here and the issues which hang on
our having enough ships are so tre-
mendous that we cannot make too
sure Of Jul shipping position in the
months and years which may pass
before we have made victory secure.
We must have a safety margin"
While the minister thus spoke So
berly of Britain's situation upon the
seas, the fod ministry disclosed that
banana imports would be stopped
within a few weeks because the fruit
was considered non-essential and
made a more bulky cargo than
oranges and the like.

SIDEWALK SURVEY
BEGUN BY COOPER
Is Scheduled To Recommend
Areas To Be Paved Under
City's New Program

An inspection of all sidewalks pre-
paratory to making a recommends
ton to the commissioners relative
to what sidewalks should be paved
under the city's current paving pro-
gram was. started yesterday by
Mayor Thomas E. Cooper.
Sometime ago Commissioner OF
Works j.. E. L. Wade sub
mitted to the city commissioners
a number of petitions from proper
ty owners in the city who wanted
the city to pave sidewalks in front
Of their property and assess them
the costs.
It was pointed out at that meet.
ing that many of the requests,
i compiled with, would pave small
sections of blocks now totally un-
leaving patches Of unpaved
sidewalk between patches of paved
City Attorney William B. Camp
oen pointed out the city has the
power to order any property owner
to pave the sidewalk in front Of
mis- property and, if he fails to do
so, to pave it and assess him with
the cost. It was his idea that where
is done, it should either
connect paved portions Of side
walk or that whole blocks should
be paved at a time.
With this view in mind it was
decided that the mayor, whose duty
1t is as commissioner of public
safety, would make a survey OF
the sidewalks of the city and rec
ommend to the commissioners
sidewalks should be paved
under the current program. S

Although Bulgaria has been ex-

.a;d last night that a report on the
findings of the survey party winch

made today.
Indications were that definite plans
for the raising and repairing OF the

Meanwhile the pump loaned by the

while officials pondered a practical
method Of lifting the w~ater-soaked

1t is thought that the cargo will
be transferred to a barge and
