The committee of the common couneil on. the formation of the ac- counting system in various. depart- ments of the city government, held a’'meeting last evening and gave hear- ings to Chairman Alling of the-board of public safety, E. H. Prior of the playground commission, E. C. Con- nelley and B. C. Morey of the char- ity department, Clerk H. A. Emmet of the board of public works and Clerk P. J. Egan of the water department. Hach of those before the board were subjected to a rigid examination as to how the department is conducted relative to expenditures. Councilman O. F. Curtis; acted as chief investigator, and Councilman Frank L. Conlon was clerk. Other members of the committee in attend- ance were Comptroller Curtis and Councilman Dolan and Stadler, Alling On Rack. . Chairman Alling of the safety board was first heard. He stated that 184 tons of coal will be required this year. The regulation of .the gasoline pur- chased is governed by the number of fires. He. enumerated the: gasoline used in houses No. 1 and 2 and in case of a difference occurring from month to month, he explained this in a sat- isfactory manner. “Inquisitor’” Curtis, put the chair- man' through a number o6f questions regarding: whether or not materials ordered and reported purchased, were always received. To .this Mr. Alling replied that if | Mr, Curtis was of .the opinion that | anything wrong was being conducted in. the department ‘he .would . follow it up. The ‘‘inquisitor” said that several years ago it could not he proven that certain things reported bought, were received. He also wanted ‘to have the clerk of the board prepare a state- ment of the system of purchasing ma- terials and have it presented to the committee. » % Hot shot passed between the “in- quisitor’™ and the chairman but with- out any outward signs of unpleasant- ness. . 5 " Clerk Egan Next. Clérk Egan was the niext oné to face the ' “inquisitor.” ¢ told of the methods used in purchasing pipe, hy- drants, valves and other necessities for the department. On .the arrival of such supplies Superintendent Towers always inspects them to assure the department that everything,6 is all right. X The ‘“‘{nquisitor” asked questions pertaining to the number 6f men em- ployed _by the department and how mény ‘are ‘on tHé ‘payroll. i p Mr. Egan said, that the superintend- ent and foreman look after the pay- roll and the payroll is turned into the office.” He was well fortified for the hearing having brought along his books. and bills and also had ready questions for the committee. -. The Playground Commission. ‘Chairman Prior of the playground commission was next heard. ‘He said that one man does the purchasing for this department. The superintendent having this power exclusively. He | makes up a list of articles purchased | and the commission inspects them, and passes upon them,,.. When thread or such small articles are bought, the supervisor purchases them without consulting the commission. The plac- ing of benches for the parks were the largest item of expenditure this year. All goods received are inspected by the ‘supervisor who reports same . to the clerk. Clerk, Emmet's Work Satisfactory. Considerable” attention was taken in the hearing of Clerk Emmet of the board of public works. Since the memorable council meeting on ‘Wednesday evening, when one of the | council tried to offer a resalution that implied that things were not being conducted properly in the department, the public has been discussing the matter at length, but after Clerk Em- mett had finished jast evening it was felt -he. had cleared himself. Clerk Emmet presented the meth- ods:- of the department in a ‘clear and intelligent mammeér. He said that the superintendent. of sewers buys his n2- cessities for theé year which amount to about $400, and the same applies to the superintendent of streets. The | articles ‘are ‘bought from local mer- | chants. ‘This system has always prov- en satisfactory. ° The clerk was ask- ed 'if he meant it was satisfactory to him, whereupon the clerk answer= ing back sharply that it had provem_ satisfactory to the board. Councilman 'Curtis inquired as to | how many headings were required on the department’s books and the clerk informed him that there is about for- ty. Comptroller Curtis,. tald the com- mittee that this amount of headings is a sufficient- amount for a detailed set of books. In his statements to .the committee, the comptroller in a manner took a rap at one of the council members for statements that he implied in his recent report cf his “investigation.” = S The' clerks of the board of public works and the. board of safety will | prepare a statement of the purchas- ing system in their respective depart- mernts. | The Town Home Methods.

HOW TO CLEAR AWAY PIMPLES Bathe your face for several minutes with resinol’soap and hot water, them apply a_little resinol ointment very gently. Let this stay on ten minutes, and wash off with resinol soap and more hot water, finishing with a dash of cold water to close the pores. Do this once or twice a day, and you will be astonished to find how quickly the healing resinol medication soothes and cleanses the pores, removes pimples and blackheads, and leaves the complexion clear and velvety. Resinol ointment and resinol soap qu itching instantly and speedily heal skin humors, sores, burns, wounds and chafing. Sold by all druggists. SOAP FOR BABY’S TENDER SKIN The regular use of resinol soap is usually enough to prevent those dis- tressing rashes and chafings fo which most babies are subject. This is 8oy first, because resinol soap is absolutel; pure and free from harsh alkali, an second, becausé 1t contains the resinol medication, on which so many physi- cians rely for skin troubles.

Boston, July 24.—The trouble which developed between Umpire Quigley and Captain Evers of the Boston Braves Thursday, when the’ umplire is eaid to have punched Evers. he claiming that the latter had stepped on his foot, was apparently smoothed over yesterday after Presi- dent Tener of the National league had made a personal investigation of the incident. Before today's game started Quigley and Evers shook hands, set- tling their personal quarrel. President Tener went to Salisbury Beach last night for a week-end, without mak- ing any statement regarding the re- sult of his investigation and without saying what action would be taken regurding the charges filed against Umpire Quigley by James Gaffney, owner of the Braves. According to Mr. Gaffney, President Tener is in- clined to consider the incident as closed, while the Braves’ owner thinks that his complaint against the umpire should not be disregarded. ¥ e QUARANTINE NEARLY OVER, Washington, D.
