Very respectfully,

I'.ipti l amliic is Imminent.
In It'ss tlit) 11 20 year* }>?*? p*r eeut
of the jiulp ami paper mill* of (hr>
coin^ry, mainly those in the Hast, w',1
have practically exhausted their supplier
of sprue*, horn lock ami tir? the principal
woods from which the paper on wh ch
newspapers are printed in made.
The annual cutting of these woods in
the New England States and New York
U a I >pro Mill a l.ls 8,20-,(MK> ivids, and
at tills rate the supply will last approxi
mately 17 years. The estimated aunail
rutting iu the Lake States la a.030,000
cords, iiml if continued will exhaust the
supply in that reglou within 18 years,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, aud
North Carolina, with their smaller forest
resource?, are oven worse off, the annual
cutting being calculated at 1,470,000
cbrdn, at which rate the spruce, heuilock
and fir wHl last but 10 years. On'y in
Alaska, Washington, Oregon, aud CaM
fornia are the reserves in uo immediate
danger of exhaustion, if the cutting con
tinues at the presut rate of 2,218,000
cords a year.
These figures, of special in.terest be
cause..of the present paper shortage, are
included in estimates compiled by the
Forest Service of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. The duta ac
cumulated give addition^ emphasis to the
dtMnand for a nation-wide policy that w'll
put privately owned forests oil a per
manently productive basis and will also
result in utilising mill waste for paper
making.
Even if the country's heni'ock, sprues
and lir resource#,, including the vast
forests of far-off Alaska,, are lumped to
gether. the supply of tt|eee woods will
be sufficient to meet the lumber and
paper demands for less than three-fourths
of a century, assuming that the present
rate of cutting continues. At fi st
glance it might seem that a national sup
ply for three-fourths of a century makes
it unnecessary to worry over the lumber
question for some time. But, as-already
stated, 95 per cent of the pulp and
paper mills are located in the East;
these are expensive establishments, often
costing millions of dollars, and can not
be moved conveniently to new locations,
nor catt. wood be shipped to them eco
nomically from great distances. Conse
quently talk of easily utilising the far
off reserves is impracticable Unless the
present mills are to be scrapped and
new ones built nearer the source of
supply.
Up to 10 years ago the United States
was self-suptportfhg with regard to news
print, 1>nt within the last decade the
consumption has exceeded home' produc
tion and promises to do so increasingly.
In view of this situation two alternatives
present themselves, according to Forest
Servioe experts and representatives of
large wood-using industries. The coun
try must defend increasingly upon Can
ada, eventually abandoning many of its
own mills, or the Nation's policy with re
gard to its private forests must be radi
cally changed. Canada has 00 paper and
pulp mills which produce approximately
2,100 tons of paper a day. of which 89
per cent is available for export. Of all
supplies of paper, wood, and puVp used by
the United States about one-third now
comes from Canada.

>t.reet expended ou the west cud to con
nect with the road recently opeued up
Vnding to the new bridge across the
-Ivor, ?,which would equalise traffic and
relieve the congestion on DeKalb ?treet
Mr. H. Q. Oarr'.xm, Br, was requested
by the gentlemen present who are In
terested In this improvement to act ??
^wkewnau for thetn. This he did, ?nil
iu addressing the council be said:
Mr, Mayor and Gentlemen of the
Coiineil 5 I have been asked to present.
a few tacts to you In connection with
'he proportion Jrou have to consider.
I Cheerfully do so became In t>ho flr#t
piacfc I believe flMa counrfl Is potttj
patriotic and inrpartlal and the work
of your administration will compare fav
orably with any that have proceded it,
limit ed finances being duly considere .
You are asked, gentlemea, by this rep
body of taxpayers to open
otrtThe west end of Ru-tledge street* not
on'y to relieve traffic congestion on l>e
Kalb street but to afford the trade of
West W?terec easy access in marketing
produce and to do ample justice to the
-mmerdal focus of Camden's chief in
terest In and around Kutlcdge street
we have a number of the largest mer
cantile otahMshments. We have the
"xpress business, the grcocer portion of
*he livery# mule, horse and vehicle mar
ket; ninety por ceut of the cotton sol
here, seventy-five or more per cent, or
-the cotton seed and one hundred per
o*nt of all the cotton delivered on the
greets must find its way here to bo
weighed. ,? ,
For many years the trend of business
on lirood street has been moving steadily
no The slight overflow east and Went
indicates that the lino fencc has been
reached. A reaction has set in an
rccent sale values on and around Kut
ledge Street Whow the pendulum has be
am ,to swing back. It is the logical
part of the city for business. Look at
your eouwty map and see where your
trade oornes from and what portion of |
the town it strike? first.
Now, gentlemen, tihere has been a
disposition to let Word One take care
of itself in very many respects. Some
Camden wit named "pot liquor, pot I
liquor and poverty being rfynonomous
tem?. Some of us know full well Uiere
is virtue in pot liquor. I am told by
the health officer that the health of that
section is as good a# the best. M ell, we
were given" a black eye when we loot
the court bouse but not a much harder,
lick then DeKalb street got in the low
of A $00,000 hotel in exchange for the
poetoffice. Word One has recently re
gained the Southern depot and soon to
the beautiful fountain. Perhaps in
the course of time the many shacks that,
mar the beauty of >hc lower Main will
be eliminated and with au unselfish, co
operative spirit that portion of Cam
den that lies south of Rutiedge street
will regain some of its former glory
and pride.
Gentlemen, let me in closing beg you
in behalf of this representative body of
taxpayers that you take prompt steps
to equalize the traffic approaches to the
city, til us being fair to commerce, just
to all taxpayers and thereby relieving
the congestion on DeKolb street by the
fairest method possible.
We beg to submit a diagram of the
propped plan and we are prel*red t?
render any reasonable awdatanee you
may desire.
A very interested and reapeotful hear
ing was accorded those who appeared
before council; in fact council showed
i cooperative spirit in the proposed ex
t?>nKion of thia street, for its advan
ta*e? are apparent to any one who ha*
'ooked into it.
Cit.V cnnncil assured the committee of
their approval of the scheme and wi'l
Ho what they reasonably can to brin*
it to a succrwrftri conclusion To obrain
n rirbt of way wfth'aa litt.e friction as
no??<tiNe will be the first step, the ex
ivnse of which wi'l be borne by t the
<uiroontes of this me<a??ure and once this
i? settled round? will proceed at once
to open up the extenaio?*. It if not the
purpose of any one interested in thia
deveVvpment of the oJ t>'s interest to
work a bnrrVhip noon anv pmix?rty lio'd

to enlift their cooperation.
