DANVERS, Mass., October 23— ‘The name of a man who has been dead more than two years appears on ballots for absentee voting re- celved here. The ballots carry the name of John F. Putnam of Dan- vers as candidate for the office of treasurer of Essex Counhty on the Soclalist ticket. Records here show that Putnam died in 1924.

It was assumed that® some one in another town, unaware that he had died, circulated the nomination papers. i ————e BUREAY OF BUDGET GETS STREET PLANS Attitude Favorabfe Toward More Money for Work, City Officials Report. The comprehensive program of street improvement proposed by the highway department for the next fiscal year was considered in detail by the bureau of the budget yvester- day at the third of a series of hear- ings on the District's estimates for 1927-1928. Virtually the entire session was devoted to the estimates of the high- way department, which, if approved in toto with the supplemental items requested, will provide an unprece- dented sum of $4,187,500 for the re- pair and surfacing of Washington's etreets, highways and bridges—al- most $1,000,000 more than appropri- ated for the current fiscal year. The appropriation for the highway de- partment this vear, including a de- ficiency of $642,000, amounted to $3.608,500. The Commissioners and officials of the highway department, who attend- ed the hearing, indicated that they were highly satisfied with the attitude shown by the budget bureau with respect to next year's highway pro- gram, and believe that whatever pruning is done will. not be severe. The budget officials, it was said, ap- pear to be fully cognizant of the con- dition of Washington's streets and are inclined to favor increased ap- propriations for their improvement so that some progress may be made toward catching up with the war-time arrears. One of the most important items in the highway department’s budget for next year is an appropriation re- quest_for the resurfacing of High- way Bridge. Another is for the resurfacing of the Klingle Road Bridge. The former item was eliminated from the esti- mates last year, but a vigorous fight will be resumed by the Budget Bureau this year to have Congress approve it in view of the condition of the bridge. Hearings on the District estimates will be resmueh by the Budget Bureau tomorrow, and according to present indications, probably will continue throughout the week. The burcau has not yet reached the budgets of the board of educdtion and the public library. These are expected to be considered early in the week. An en- tire day likely will be devoted to the school estimates, which call for ap- propriations amounting to about one- third of the total budget of $38,500,000.

They were under the lead- ership of a young lawyer, Franz Dan- fel Pastorius, in whose honor & monu ment recently was erected in German town. Pastorious was born in Ger- many and while visiting in England joined the Quakers and became a friend of Willlam Penn. Pastorius established a day school and later the first evening school in the Colonfes, in 1701. He was the com- piler of a primer and in 1688 came into considerable prominence by draft- ing the first public protest against slavery in America Other Claims to Fame. Germantown also is noted as the place where the first Bible to Le printed in America in a European language was published. It was the work of Christopher Saur, while he was preacher of the German Baptist Church there in 1743. Rev. Mr. Saur also is credited with having estab- lished one of the first newspapers in the Colonies and his grandsons are sald to have cast the first American printing type, in 1793. Germantown. at one time was chosen as the temporary capital of the youthful Republic, in 1793.
