OFFICIAL TEXT OF CERMANY'S NOTE | Proposing Food Cargoes to Be Dis- (ributed Under American Officials. Washington, Feb. 18.—The official text of Germany’s note, presented by Count von Bernstorff to the United | States proposing that food cargoes be distributed under supervision of American consular officers and urging the Washington government to con- tend for the right to ship foodstuffs for non-combatants, was made public here yesterday by the state depart- It follow 1—The federal council’'s decision concerning the seizure of food prod- ucts whic hEngland alleges to be the cause of food products shipped to Ger- many being treated as contraband is exclusively on ‘“‘wheat, rye, both un- mixed and unmixed with other prod- ucts and also wheat, rye, oats and barley flour."” 2—The federal council makes an express exception in section 45 of the order. Section 45 provides as follows: ‘“The stipulations of this regulation do not apply to grain or flour imported from abroad after January 31." 3—Conjunctively with that saving clause, the federal council’s order con- tains a provision under which import- s and flour eould be sold ex- y to the municipalities or cer- tain specially designated organizations by the importers. Although that pro- vision had for its object simply to throw imported grain and flour into such channels as supply the private consumption of civilians, and, in con- sequence of that pn jon the intent and purpose’ of thdi:fedefal council’s order who was to protect the civiliun population from speculators and on- grossers were fully met, it was never- theless rescinded so as to leave no room for doubt. 4—My government is amenable and proposition lookingito control by a special American organization n- der the supervision of the American to | consular oflicers and, if necessary, will itself make a proposition in that di- rection. Self Administration Bodies. 5-—The German government further calls attention to the fact that muni- cipalities do not form part of or be- long to the government, but are “sel administrative bodies” which elected by the inhabitants of the com- mune in accordance with fixed rules and, therefore, cxclusively represent the proviate part of the populatien and act as it directs. Although these principles are generally known and obtain in the United States as well as in England itself the German gov- ernment desired to point out the fact s0 as to avoid any further unnes- sary delay. G—Hence it is absolutely that imported food produects will he consumed by the civilian population in Germany exclusively and there re- mains no doubt upon which England can prevent the exportation of food products from to Germauny for the use of ci T—The imper! rovernment ox- presses the firm hope that the Ameri- can government will stand on its right in this matter. ssured Native eggs 33¢ doz, TRussell Bros. —advt.

Councilman May replied was a “beautiful spot on Arch street” that there that was being neglected by the health department. Superintendent Reeks was given the privilege of the floor and he spoke highly of Mr. O'Brien. He believed that the position was worth more sal- ary. Dr. Reeks considered it unfor- tunate that not more than a dozen members of the council had ever seen fit to v the board of health office to learn what is being done. Alderman Marwick, Councilman Eichstaedt and Alderman Jester were “agin it.” Alderman Shine was in favor. The present situation in New Rritain was Alderman Lawyer's alibi for not favoring the increase. Asking Alderman Marwick to take the chair, Mayor Quigley came down from the rostrum and spoke in favor of Mr. O'Brien’s increase. He de- scribed Superintendent Reeks as the most efficient superintendent in New England. “And T You to Increasc the lary of O’'Brien, one of the most capable officials the city has,” said the mayor. The mayor's plea was lost, 15 to 14, but Mayor Quigley voted yes, making it 15 to 15, and then dissolved the ti=, as mayor, and made it 16 to 15, pass- ing the measure. The vote before the mayor cast his ballot was as follows: Yes—Parker, Shine, Kerwin, Dan- Lerg, Ohman, Nowland, Brzozowy, Riley, McCrann, Degnan, Paonessa, Coyle, Conlon, Landers. No—Lawyer, Jester, Marwick, Dolan, Hausmann, May, Anderson, Tichstaedt, Teich, Chamberlain, Voight, Huot, Wagner, H. Johnson, Staedler. On motion of Councilman Landers the matter of increasing the plumbing inspector’s salary was tabled. City Chemist Wanted. A resolution was presented asking for the establishment of the officé of a, city chemist at a salary to be fixed by the comon council. Councilman Teich explained that there is no ordinance covering the office of city chemist although one has been employed at $1,000 per year by the board of public works. Councilman Poanessa wanted the resolution tabled until the next regu- lar meeting. Alderman Parker believed that the woerk of the chemist could be done by the board of health. Councilman Paonessa motion in order to permit City Engineer William H. plained that the chemist about four days a week from the sewer ask withdrew his of debate. Hall ex- now works and is paid maintenance fund, v hich is beginning to look like a a cipher with the rim knocked off. Chairman Chase of the water depart- ment gaid that the chemist is employed by his department at a salary of $120 per year. On resolution of Councilman ders the matter was tebled until next regular meeting. Teich vs, Shine. An ordinance regulating the height and size of frame dwelling houses was tabled. Alderman Shine said: “T am a member of the ordinance committee ard you won't find my signature on that.” “That matter was discussed at a meeting of the committee at which Alderman Shine was not present and that's probably why his signature will not be found there,” replied Council- man Teich. “If Alderman Shine would take a Ilittle interest in the matter he might know more about it.” The High Cost of Eating. There's nothing bashful committee appointed several ago to probe the advance in this city. After an exhaustive sleuth- i expedition during which econom- ics were gone into it was-finally de- cided that the high cost of food was due to the wicked price manipulators, who were so unkind as to try to lina their jeans with greenbacks at the expense of the poor, downtrodden con- sumer. After telling why sack of flour costs more than it did 1 August the committee presented a protest to con- s and, it is reported, the president his class in national government didn’'t get a wink of sleep all last ght. Tell It to Withelm and George. Lan- the about the moénths foods in Councilman Landers, amid a ga of laughter, recommended that ('nm({ of the protest be sent to Emperok Wilhielm of Germany and King George of Ingland, lest New Britain be put in a ridiculous light by the protest. The report of the committee was, accepted and the protest will be sent on its way to Washington, Council- man Landers withdrawing his recom- mendation that European nobility re- ceive copies. Berlin Farmers Disinterested, Councilman Teich asked what had become of the committee to establish a public market. Councilman Landers replied the Berlin farmers were crying for such a place and three times he of- fered them gratis his playground property on Winter street. He had received no reply to his three letters, but still has hopes of the success of the project.
