The regular monthly meeting of
the commissioners of roads and rev

at their room in the court house
next Tuesday and a number of im
poitjurt matteite will c<?me up r'<
disposition.
Among other things will be the
proposed second bond election and
it is likely that another election will
le called. The fact that only a few
voted against, the measure In the
last election shows that the peo
ple favor It and also shows that the
cause of its defeat before is the
large number of people who did not
vote, which of course, counted as .
vote against the measure.
The commissioners,, while of
course they cannot state definitely
what will he done on are
frank to admit that they favor an
other election. To a News reporter
yesterday one or two of them said
hut the matter would surely come
up at the meeting, and all

would he called.

Work is now well under way on
the new city wharf which is being
built at the foot of Gloucester street
by the city for the accommodation of
the many little country boats which
do their trading at this port.
At present the old wharf is being
tom away, preparatory to the plan

Glouckter has not been opened, drays
using the opening which is owned by
he Atlantic Coast Line.
When the new city wharf is com

many little boats, which will use it
or a mooring place.

San Francisco Paper a
Long Article About the Suc
cess of a Young Man Who
Was Reared Here.
The following article taken from
the Chicago Chronicle of April 23
will be read with interest by the peo
ple of Brunswick generally;
“Two hundred cabin passengers
are booked to sail this morning at 11
o'clock on the steamer Korea, Capt.
Sandberg, for Honolulu ar.d the
Orient. The Korea’s usual hour ol
departure has been hitherto 1 o'c! ck
in tne afternoon but on account oi
the tide sf.o will leave the new pier,
42 at tiled foot of Second street two
hours duller. In addition to lief
large passeuger list, the Korea wil.
carry 5,000 tons of merchanllse.
"The big liner goes to sea with the
youngest chief enlgneer In the wliol
Pacific service. He Is F. 11. Raffo
20 years old, of Brunswick, Oa., who
has been an able first assistant foi
seven years, and now succeeds Paul
Rossiiter, the chief, who has been
granted leave of absence. Mr. Raff
has been in the Korea ever since tilt
vessel left her (builders’ hands ax
Newjorl News five years ago, and li
lias rapidly risen lu his professb .n.’
It will be interesting for Mr. liaf
fo's many Brunswick friends to
konw that this monster passen -.or
ship is perhaps the largest ship in
the Pacific service, toeing 18.000 tuns.
He has nine assistant engineers ui;
der him, some of them perhaps of
years of age, besides thetee aboi
150 men who are under his super
vision and direction. How Is that
for Brunswick energy and merit?
Mr. Raffo Is the youngest cbie
nglueor In the whole Pacific so
.ice and probably in the vAtlantlc
ervlce as well. In his exalmnatior.
for chief engineer, tills percentage
was an even 100, and his salary iioa
by the way, is something like s“,so<
per year. Who says this Is not an
age of young men who want to sue
coed and do ngf know the meaning
of the word failure?
His fiftier, Mr. J. S. Raffo, if: an
old Brunswickian. and is naturally
very proud of hts son.
Want More Men.
The Oglethorpe hotel Is advertis

Good wages are offered and it is
probable that a number of workmen
will be secured.
