minals for Wilmington. A meeting
of the three groups was then call
ed to consider the proposal.
"Nothing Can Stop Us"
c. D. Hogue, chairman OF thu
port commission, presiding a
yesterdays meeting, said: If this
group sticks together and works OF
this thing, nothing can stop us.
1--WE now have a particularly ad
vantageous opportunity because o:
the expenditures for national de
fense."
The commissioners all agreed
they should bend every effort te
avoid losing another chance te
carry this thing through"
The commission recommended
that the terminals should be of the
type lying parallel with the river
channel, emitting the construction
of slips, and to include margina.
tracks for unloading ships into box
cars. This was the recommended
ton of the surveying engineers.
The complete recommendation

missioners at their meeting in the
office of the Port Commission on
June 4, 1910, a subcommittee,
composed of Messrs. Hewlett, Cam

with the construction of public ter
minals made by Col. Shourds and
Messrs. Brown and Merritt, Engi-
neers, and to make recommends

ed Upon their ve1tigation of these
documents.
THE subcommittee reported on
-dnesday, July 3, 1870, with the
following recommendations:
=. That public terminals be
erected at the earliest practicable
moment on the site offered by the
City of Wilmington" (The o d
Liberty shipyard.)
SO. That the type of terminal 10
be erected conform, in general, to
the type proposed in the report of
Col. Shourds under date of June 4,
1910, and that the figures Of Col.
Shourds be adopted al the approx
innate amount to be spent on same.
SO. That the subcommittee re-
quest the Port commission to sub.
nit to a joint meeting of the City
and County Commissioners e I
request that the said bodies take
immediate steps toward the reali-
cation of public terminals in the
City of Wilmington.
I'm conformity with the report
of the subcommittee, the P o
Commission hereby formally re-
quests that the City and County
Commissioners take such steps as
are necessary to bring about the
construction of public terminals in
the city, in accordance with the
plan and for the approximate cost
outlined by Col. Shourds in his let
ter of June a., 1910, at the earliest
practicable moment.
Since the Port Commission has
been the spear head of this move
ment for public terminals in the
city, we feel that it may, without
improperly, make certain sugges-
tons which, in its opinion, will
tend to facilitate the attainment Of
the objective for which we are all
striving.
ATTACHED to this report is an
estimate, extremely conservative,
of the probable income of public
terminals of the type suggested by
Co. Shourds. These figures show
an annual income of $198, 76O, after
the deduction of $685. 600 for labor
costs. 1t will be observed, as show

Illuminated Christmas Tree on Front LalUr
Will Clue Extra Beauty to Your Home

A N ILLUMINATED tree in front
= of a house always makes it
look more honey" on Christmas
eve. It need not necessarily be q
pine or fir tree-it may be any ever
green standing apart or in shrub
berry hugging the house.
The lighted tree or shrub not only
makes the home look more beauti-
full, but also serves as definite
contribution to the community
Christmas spirit.
There is, of course, right and a
wrong way to do this, as there is in
doing everything else. The ordinary
indoor Christmas tree lighting sets
are not apt to prove very satisfac-
tory, although often they serve the
purpose. But much more often their
exposure to the elements spells their
doom. For one thing the lamps are
quite small and also because the
cord or wire is not properly pro-
tected by rubber or other safety in
sulation that will aid it in withstand
ing the uncertain weather of Christ
mas week.
In buying such an illuminating set
it is, therefore, necessary to tell the
electrician from whom you are pur-
chasing it for what purpose it is in
tended, and ask him to suggest the
best way to connect it.
II it is to be plugged in on your
house lighting circuit, make Certain
that the total wattage of the set does

the balls are shaped, push string
into them before you put them aside
to dry. This will make them easier
to hang.
Surprise nuts always make hit

too. Scoop the nutmeats out of a
couple dozen walnuts, being careful
not to crack or break the shells.

Many more things can be made
for the tree. Use any ideas you
might have-it will make the tree
more your own.
The goodies are hung on the tree
the same as regular ornaments. It
is advisable, however, to place them
so that small children can get at
some candies without danger of pull
ing down the tree.
When it is all finished, the Goody

For Hour Extension

Several Of Influential

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Some 80
member firms, including a number
of the largest commission houses,
have appealed to the Board of Gov
ernors of the New York Stock Ex-
change to extend the hours of trad
ing, 1t was learned today.
While 80 member firms is numer-
ically a small minority of the total
Of 603, brokerage circles said the
fact that several of the most inf1u-
entail houses were included would
undoubtedly prompt the most serious
consideration on the part Of the
governors, and might well bring
favorable decision.
The agitation for a longer trading
period was described as the strong
est that has developed at any time
in the last few years. when the pro-
posal has been made at various
times. The board received a petition
at its meeting August 81, and de-
ferred consideration until September

ton from Pacific Coast firms has
been received.
The proposal Is to extend the clos

through Fridays. and for some ex-
tension" on Saturdays, when the
market now closes at noon.
Continued small trading volume
was said to be the chief factor be-
hind the agitation. The trading in
both August and July was the small
est since 1918, and on some days it
fell to the lowest since 1916. A num-
Der of brokers, however, feel that a
later close would make no appreci-
able difference in volume, and would
tend to increase expenses.
Also, William McC. Martin, jr.,
president of the exchange, was said
to have received many complaints
from newspapers that longer trad
ing period would seriously hamper
publication of quotation tables.
