A state Captains of vessels plying on the Pacific ocean are expected to be ma- terially aided, in the near future, in navigating their ships, by up-to-the minute weather reports sent from a station to be operated by the Admiral Oriental Line at Seattle. Captain W. C. York, of the company's operating staff is now working out plans for the operation of the proposed station.

E freight and passenger vessels have been delayed because of the unex- pectedness of the disturbances. Commanders of Admiral Oriental Line vessels, with whom Captain York has consulted, feel that a great deal of this delay might have been avoided and ean be avoided in the future if they were constantly informed while at sea of actual weather conditions in the various steamship lanes. They contend that a ship in a zone where fair weather prevails, if notified of storms being encountered by other information as to conditions in every zone in the regular traffic lanes.! Captains will be able to radio this sta- | tion for thel atest news and weather forecasts, in addition to . receiving broadcasted data &oncerning prevail- ing or anticipated conditions in their particular area. Although modern liners and freight steamships are so constructed as to be able to successfully battle the fiercest storms that at times spring up prac- tically without warning, they can be! openited more speedily and comfort- , referred to Justice Neu and A short time ago the Board granted As he had not yet com- on to use their earnest efforts for the railroad officials have been appealed to on more than pne occasion to eli- minate it, by either depressing or elevating the tracks.

Four names were submitted for appoint- ment and Town Clerk Gilbert was di- rected to forward them to the Sheriff of Nassau County, with recemmenda- tion that they be nayed as deputies.
