EXPECT A BUNPER (ROP OF COFFEE There Are Indications That It Will Be Haiti's Largest Bt. Marc, Haitl, Nov, 7.,—There are indications ‘in plenty here that the coftee crop which is now being picked and shipped will be the largest ex- ported from Haitl in all her history, Bt. Marc s the center of the coffee growing country, and already the roads and tralls are pouring’'in a flood of the aromatic berries that find such high faver in Western Europe. Since the export tax on coffee produces a little more than one-third of the gov- ernment’s entire revenue, and the coffee exports average two-thirds of all Haltl's export trade, the import- ance of this record breaking crop can be appreciated, At the peak of the French regime in Haitl a crop of 74,000,000 pounds was exported to Europe in 1791 Thirty years later it had dwindled to 29,000,000 pounds as a result of neg- lect and the incessant civil wars fol- lewing Haitl’'s independence in 1803, Under Haitian rule it finally climbed in 1880 to 78,000,000 pounds, but the production was again at low ebb when the United States intervened in 1815. Three years later, when Amer- fcan ‘troops had restored order in the island, it reached a total of 80,000,000 pounds, of $16,500,000 declared value. and that year the crop pald 40 per cent of Haitl's entire revenue. The present crop, however, s des- tined to exceed all previous French, Haitian and American . occupation figures, and the average price to the peasant will be nine cénts a pound. Practically all of the coffee goes, to Havre for, distribution through France, Bélgium, Holland, Germany and Austria, where it 15 used in small lots as a grading coffee, It is worthy of note that practically not & dollar of the millions that the new crop will bring to Haiti will go into the pocket of a single American, for the coffee industry in/ Haiti is wholly in the hands of Haitians, a few French, and a small number of men of mixed blood. There is-not a single cultivated plantation in Haiti. The berries grow semi-wild from the old French days, réquiring no irrigation and receiving practically no care. Coffee experts hold ‘that through the indolence and ignorance of the peasants, fully one- half of the average crop is not picked. With attention to shading and pruning and with reasonable diligence, the coming bumper crop could certainly be quadrupled, they aver. Thé coming révision of the Haitlan tariff that will reduce or eliminate the present ex- port tax of three.cents per pound will materially increase the profits of the peasant, and with the extension of the roads and trails made possi- ble by the Halitian loan, coffee pros- pects are considered very good in- deed. While Haitian coffee has not .as yet gained a foothold in, the United States, itgn distinctivel aroma and strength have outstripped all compe- tition in western Furope.

C, Hart, parking places close to Main street that might be used by Baturday night shoppers, He favored short time parking on one side of High, Waal ington, Court and Arch streets, and two hours parking on the other side of the street. He suggested that parking between City Hall driveway und Washington street, now a 40 minute district, be made five minutes, At his suggestion it was voted to recommend 40 minute parking be. tween Main and Elm streets on the south side of Church vet, and that parking within 26 feet of the end of a trolley line be prohibited.
