B. Bri tained loca! Rotarians today with an + interesting account of his recent trip abroad, during which time he and Mrs. Br visited England, France and Belgium. “While I will not presume to tell of conditions except as I saw them in the very brief time we were on foreign soll, I was impressed with the apparent healthy state of af- fairs in all countries visited. I never saw a beggar once, industry seemed to be active and I was very pleas- antly surprised with their accom- piishments.”* The Brooks safled the first of February on the New Amsterdam of the Holland-American line. The ves- sel was not large but the governor paid high tribute to its service. He said the voyage over was most Pleasant and that he was indisposed but one day. Landing at Plymouth they encoun- tere a strike of dockmen, which in- convenienced landing somewhat. In London, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks were shown ever the city by a guide and visited Westminister Abbey, the buildings of Parliament and other historic places. They called at the American embassy and visited the American ambassador, Mr. Kelland, who. Mr. Brooks knew personally. London merchants appeared some- what depressed over business con- ditions, but in Parts, Mr. Brooks said, there was an entirely different feel- ing manifest, cheerfulness seeming to pervade. While the governor failed to make connections with any meetings of the foreign Rotary clubs he said that he talked with Rotarians of London and Paris and observed’ that the spirit of Rotary does not exist abroad as it does in America. Over there it {s more lke ‘an eye for an eye. tooth for a tooth’ instead of “he Profits most who serves emplified in this country,” hi The Tribune has made arrange- ™ments to have Gov. Brooks write a @etailed account of his trip abroad together with his impressions and observations, for early publication. Ben Pelton. Lew Gay, Dr. J. C. Kamp, C. H. Townsend and O, L. ‘Walker were named as a committee today to place nominations for direc- tors for the next year. W. O. Wil- son A. F. Stirrett and J. T.

Over $690,000 have been ap- propriated in this year’s municipal budget for the general improvement of the city, for the construction of a modern sewer system, for street paving and other improvements, and about $300,00 for the reconstruction of private houses destroyed by the various fires of which the city has been the theater. Special appropri- ations will be made for similar pur- poses each following year, “Our first concern after the evacu- ation of Constantinople by the allies Was to balance the municipal bud- get. Thanks to the initiative of Hal- dar Bey, we have succeeded in this. Of about $2500.00 of the revenues this year, the organization of the municipal stockyards system’ yields us $600,000. In a similar way, we have succeeded in opening up quite a number of new sources of revenue for the city.” ——— Comparisons are odious.
