to increase the. time the" lights shall

that the lights will be retained and that
our streets will continue to be lllu

Mr. Selling was the first' merchant to

was largely through his enterprise that

"My Idea la that no one should take

Th railway Is In the hands -if private

ownership of anything which can r tth
propriety be left In private hands, uni

object to government ownersmp or ran

the government not to exercise a suiwr-
risory and regulatory right, over th
railroads: for it is vital to th well

"Actual experience has shown that.lt
is not possible to leave the railroads un

such a lack of system, - Is fertile In

"This -Is .not a revolutionary proposal

permission for dredged- material to be

It Is explained that. the dredges will

rests with the property-owners as to
whether or . not the . contemplated Im

disposition to ssslst tn the -matter, both
dredges will be set to Work and s chan
nel the full width of the river will be
dug to a depth of SI feet at the low

The proposed Channel will be more
than twice the width of the present one
and five feet deeper. With th bulk
heads In plac. and the material removed
from the bed of the stream deposited
underneath the docks almost a continu
ous seawatt will be formed from one
end of the harbor to the other. It will
be possible for a ship laden with freight
to be towed to any dock without the as
sistance of an experienced pilot, as the
river will be of the same uniform depth
In every locality. As a minor argumsni
