Record Pleases Leaders. Mr. Mellon is regarded by admin- Istration leaders here as one of the successes of the Hard- ng cabinet. He is ranked by leaders with Hughes and Hoover in ability and constructive genius. But, at the same time reluctance. that the work Mr. Mellon was called upon to undertake when he umed office has been largely accomplished and that the financial problems of today are neither so pressing nor so great as those he solved at the gutset of his admin- fstration In other words, it, Mr. Mellon is nearing completion of the most difficult work he undertook was inaugurated and now would not be hardship that would a year or more Mr. Mellon first dent Harding that he be allowed to withdraw from public life. Would e Task Done. With the British funding debt set- tlement an accomplished fact to blaze the way for the settlement of other foreign debts, with the tax.revision law in operation for nearly two years and with government receipts exceed- ing government expenditures Mr. Mel- lon would leave the Treasury in a strong position. There are no major financial problems pressing for solu- tion now other than a possible re- vision of the tax laws by the next Congress, and Mr. Mellon's views as to what should be done already are well known. Those views run somewhat counter to the opinion of some of the more vocal leaders In the next Congress, just as they ran somewhat counter o the ideas of the leaders who work- ed out_the revenue law of 1921 Mr. Mellon, rated by some persons as the fourth richest man -in the world, his done much,’ his admirers say, to create a feeling of confidence in 'the administration in business circles. Coolidge for Retention. An indication of President Cool- idge’s reaction to the possible resig- nation of the Secretary of the Treas- ury is afforded, perhaps, by the Presi- dent’s repeated declaration, during the last week, of his desire to carry ut to the letter the Harding policles. Positive instructions are reported to Fave been given in several notable instances involving policy to pontinue without change the policies of Mr. Harding. President Coolidge, it is thought likely, would make a strong effort to induce Mr. Mellon to remain in office. On the other hand, Mr. Mellon is krown to be extremely desirous of retiring.

In fact, it was said, any ef- fort to fight large fires in high bufld- ings would be futile without such a 8- tem. In reaching to the great story heights of modern bullding and in supplylng the vast quantity of water in the great ar of the modern build- ing in sufficient quantity to reduce the temperature of combustion no supply other than a high-pressure system would be adequate.

Cleveland gained & reduction in in- surance rates amounting to about 8 per cent as a result of the installation or its high-pressure system.

It was pointed out that Cleve- land has never had a fire that it has not been able to isolate and subduc | within a comparatively short time, Since a high-pressure system was inaugurated in Boston there have been several fires which might have reached conflagration size had the system not been available. From the commissioner of public works there comes the information that there is no question but that the morale of jthe fire-fighting forces has improved through the knowledge that these efficient streams are available. There also is less confusion In tracing hose llines to their source of supply at a | bigfire where there is likely to be a large amount of equipment In serv- ice. . Bis Saving Yearly. One of the most gratifying effects of the introduction of high pressure in New York was the immediate drop }in insurance rates. In December, 1 about six months after the system had been put in regular use, the New York Fire Insurance Exchange made 2 general reduction of rates through- fouf the high-pressure zone In Man- {hat*an. a reduction amounting to $500,000 annually. In Brooklyn, lke- wise, a reduction of $250,000 followed, so that the improvement has already saved the taxpayers in the commu. nity about $750,000 &’ year. Thus, it was pointed out by New York offi- cials, that the installation of high pressure water is not a matter of fire protection alone but a good in- vestment, Upper: Lower: {OVERTHROW OF CUNO SET FOR TOMORROW BY SOCIALIST PARTY HEADS (Continued from First Page.) but are counting no's government inz able to on the demise of C before the date set for the strike in the hope of claiming the credit of forcing Cuno’s downfall However widespread popular dis- content may be, the communists are not in a position to undertake an up- rising which the government will not be able to crush quickly clsively.
