Or do you pay an annual rental of $240 or over?” “These queries are put to pros- pective voters in Georgetown, the capital of British Guiana, and must be answered in the affirmative be- fore a citizen can vote” says & bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic soicety. “This unique law explains why Georgetown with its approximate 60,000 population 1,000 registered voters. To be a city councillor is even harder than to be a voter. The civic government is vested in a mayor and one councillor from each of the 14 wards. Each coun- cillor must possess property within the city limits worth $5,000—or a wife whose city property mates that amount. Oxen and Autos Vie in Traffic “Georgetown recently figured in the daily news as having become headquarters for development of one of the world’s most recently discovered oil regions. the Coren- tyne district of British Guiana. Drillers from the United States and Trinidad are bound for George- town and will soon supervise pros- pecting in the new field. British Guiana is one of the richest min- eral areas in South America, al- though it is largely undeveloped. “Automobiles, huge trucks, elec- tric trams and teams of oxen form the traffic on Georgetown's wide streets, some of which have in the middle long, water-lily covered canals. The traffic on the pavements is even more varied. Turbaned Hin- dus, yellow Chinese, Tndians from the jungles of the interior, swart Syrians, negroes, Europeans and North Americans make up the motley population. Georgetown houses are gayly painted struc- tures, and almost all have wide green lawns, and luxuriant plants and shrubs. Rows of ‘efficiency houses.’ such as exist in the United are unknown. The usual Guiana is and timber of green- has enly + @ heart, wallaba, mora, crabwood and % bullet-tree is popular. - ' =port. The “Its Botanic gardens are George- town's special pride. World-famous collections of orchids and ferns are found there, and in the numerous pools brilliantly-colored water birds bathe, and manatees (sea-cows) Promenade gardens, eight acres of cool, shaded walks, are situated in a central location. = Bel Alr park, & well known race track, lies but a short tram ride Woman Uses To Fly to tal 8ea Girt, N. J., June 14 UP— An airplane converted into an ambulance left the National Guard camp field today bearing Mrs. C. M. Shepherd, of Spring Lake, to Rattle Creek, Mich,, where she will seek a cure for paralysis, ‘The plane was piloted by Jack Casey of Red Bank and a non- stop flight was planned. In the plane with the sick woman were her husband and Miss Evelyn Staats, a nurse at Ann May hos- pital. from the city. City Below Sea Level “The Georgetowners are music lovers and public concerts are given almost every day. The three public bandstands are located in the Bo- tanic gardens, the Promenade gar- dens and on the Sea Wall. Excel- lent shops, two large movie houses and modern conveniences keep Georgetown abreast of the times. “As Georgetown is below ses level the inhabitants of its early days had much trouble with the approx. | ChFcoachments of the sea and tidal river water. The city is situated on the north coast of British Guiana where the Demerara river emptles into the ocean. A compact sea wall was completed in 1882 after 30 years of building. It forms a breezy promenade for a mile and a half along the ocean to Kitty Village. There it is joined by a newer wall which parallels the coast for many miles. Where the two walls join clean sands have accumulated to form a natural playground for | children. “One goes marketing in George- town in a’huge structure of glass and iron situated in the middle of the town. Many tropical delicacies unknown to temperate climes may be bought there. The market has a river frontage of 300 feet and products are brought to its wharves from the rivers and creeks of Guiana, and even from Barbados. Water strcet, the main business thoroughfare, also parallels the river and the business concerns have wharves back of their build- ings to facilitate the delivery of river merchandise.” Worker in Factory Hurt, Pulled Against Machine Ben Olson, 68, of 104 Rockwell avenue, was painfully injured this forenoon at the Union Mfg. Co. fac- tory when his overalls caught in a piece of steel which was in motion on a screw machine, as he reached over it.
