rr HE old Irish ditty about digging for gold in the street has I almost come true in Southend with the present world price of copper. Excavations for a new ring road uncovered a lot of copper cable, property of the transport department, and Ald. Norman Harris, chairman of the transport committee, authorized offers for it. It went to Enfield rolling mills for £2,655 12s. 6d. for just over 7-; tons, which will give a little boost to the transport accounts. They're digging for more, but stories of another Klondike should be discounted at this stage.
