Mr. Murphy, it is said, told State men with whom he talked that he would be pleased if they could bring forward some strong democrat from up-state who could be groomed for the race. Should they fail to do so, Mr. Murphy thought New Yorlk City could supply the man needed. If the Tammany chieftain had any par. t#¥ular man in mind when he made this statement he gave no intimation of the fact to the conferees from up state. Judging, among the RUB OUT RHEUMATISM TH “31.

Schenck & Son, Philadelphia At its second session last night the board of finance and taxation gave three hearings on departmental es- timates. The fir: to the school board, which was followed by the City Hall commission and the health board. Mayor Quigley presided. Superintend- anley H. Holmes and L. H. , chairman of the finance com- mittee, represented the school board. Mr. Pease explained that the school board had prepared its estimates very carefully and he didn’'t see how the schools could be conducted along the present lines for anything less. perience has shown that the expenses have been practically the same as the estimates and the board has lived with- in them. Where they have run snort it has been in matters where the estimates were cut. Judge Gaffney asked how the board wished to pro- | ceed in its examination. Printed pamphlets showing the cost of the schools compared with other cities were distributed and were used by the | finance board in conjunction with the typewritten budget. Increase Eight Per Cent. Superintendent Holmes said the to- tal increase in regular school expenes was not over eight per cent. and was a little less than usual. The transfer | of the trade school to the department | of education should not be charged to | the cost of grade schools. It is simply | a nmew department of education and | must be cared for. Da y aries increase about $10 on the! scale basis in the graded schools and the merit system in the High school. The increase in the cost of janitor se vice, which is about $2,000 is duc argely to the opening of the Voca- tional High school, which also contains the trade school. Ior clerks the in crease is about $1,200. Mr. Holmes explained the clerkship needs which are increasing. neral supplies in- crease from 200 to $9,000.

Answering a question of Mr, Chamberlain, the superintendent said the total valuation of the s is about $1,107,000 not including con- tents. The open air school will cost $2.600, an increase of $600. Tt is do and there is a waiting list King asked if it wouldn't be wise to extend the system.

Answering Com- sioner Chamberlain’s question as to the method of compiling the trade school estimates, Mr. Holmes said they had depended upon gained from the trade scnool super- intendent. He said they expected to retain the state's force of teachers ana explained the salaries in force, which he did not consider excessive. There are about 150 pupils in the boys' de- partment. The per capita cost will w0t be excessive and it is planned to open {he school to as many as pos- sible. This will have a tendency to reduce the per capita cost. Mayor Quigley asked Mr. he saw any way they could cut $10,- 000 from the estimates. He wasn't able to see it himself. Superintendent Holmes said the city had been getting along easily with the High school on double ions, but now the parting of the ways has been reached and the school plant is once more in full operation. Mr, Chamberlain asked if any other city nad gone as far as New Britain in trade education and was | informed of the work being done o1 just undertaken in New Haven, Wa- terbury, Bridgeport and Hartford. w Britain is slightly ahead, that is all, pupils who years' course ot which is devoted Holmes if 1 About New school. | vor Quigley asked concerning the new school for the Farrell site.

He knew of one sixteen room structure in Massachusetts being built for $48,000. Such structures are all on one floor with a central assembly hall. The Clark street site will prob- ably require a two floor building on account of the slope. 1t will be fire- proof as all schools should be. City Hall Building. William G. Dunn, clerk of the city hall commission, appeared in the absence of Chairman C. H. Baldwir and explained the City Hall needs. tic presented his figures and explain- cd briefly just what is needed. The total expenses are estimated at §19.- 1 000 and the income at $15,000. 1 | ¢eipts from will be $14,900 os compared with ,600 last year and they will he greater next year.

The health board lhearing began about 9 o'clock and lasted well over an hour. Chairman Tallard said Superintendent T. E. Reeks under- stood the situation thoroughly and would speak for the board. Dr. Recks | rapidly explained the needs of his | department and made a special plea for the proposed municipal slaughter | house. The finance hoard was in a | mood to be shown on this question and the superintendent was ready to | supply all information sought. Mis | were strong and logical and it was evident made an impres- sion on the board. As estimated the | hoard will require $19,170 to carry | on its work this year and this sum | includes an appropriation of $6, for the slaughter house and maintenance Garbage collection is 50, the same as last fectants and drugs total $500, which | is $100 less than last year. Dr. Reeks aid todate $221.15 has heen spent. The state is furnishing some anti toxine. He figured $500 will carry them through ‘but this amount will he needed. The garbage wagons need considerable repairing ing paintings. Two are being fixed now and cost will average $50 Two new single wagons are needed. The appropriation asked i $500 the same as last year. Salar and additional help figure $3,720 a with $2,724 last year. Th v of the tuberculosis inspector i 200 the welfare nurse $900 The store inspector's salary will be $900 and the assistant sanitar spector $720. For maintenance of office and lahoratory $1,000 is estima- ted. Last year’s appropriation was $750, but the account now stands at 52. Printing is figured at $500 vear. Dr. Reeks explained that the board's work is largely edu- cational and there is much need of printed work. The amount needed for tuberculo- sis work is fixed, at $2,500, an in- ! crease of $500. To the depart | ment has spent $1,632 and will need ypropriation hefore r | ends. At present one nurse has from i to 148 cases to look after and needs assistance. The tuberci- relief society will vote for an additional nurse. Dr. Reeks infprm- ed the hoard the money is not spent wildly.

He ex- plained the need of such a fund, there being certain expenses which were difficult to charge under specific heads. The Slaughter House, Getting down to the question of the municipal slaughter house, Dr. Reeks explained carefully the health board's reasons in asking for the establish- ment of such an ir tution. Many of the arguments have appeared before in tae Herald since the matter was first proposed. The superintendent told the finance board the difficulties his department experiences in battling for pure food for the people of Britain. Recently they have hired spotters in the hope of securing evi- dence against men who were slaugh~ tering animals contrary to law and le- sal requirements, but without success. He also told of the killing of diseased | cattle and other animals both ‘here and in surrounding towns. Only re- cently he had addressed a meeting of rmers in a nearby town on the sub- ject and they were frankly dismayed at the idea that New Britain pro- posed to block its market to the re- ception of rundown and diseased ani- mals. Tt is proposed to erect the slaughter house on the town farm property. It will be a permanent structure and Dr. | Reeks was sure it can be maintained | for $1,400, which will include the pay | of an i bector. Cattle and otner an- imals will be inspected both before | and after killing and all meat will be stamped as municipally inspected and passed. The one aim is to prevent uninspected meat from being sold to New Britain people. Much of this class of meat falls into the hands of | poor people who need protection. 1 is proposed to charge twenty-five cents for inpecting cattle and fiftcen cents for calves and other smaller an- | als. The members of the hoard | numerous questions, most of figured at | vear. Disin- | cach and seldom patient Last was | will | | i the vear | includ- | also | | | | | | which were successfully anwered by Superintendent Reeks. Collecting Ashes Superintendent Iteeks was called | upon to explain the appropriation d sired for collecting ashes. He said | ne had not expected to answer this| question as it did not come under the | health board, but as the chairman of | the committee who had the matter In | charge was unaBle to appear, he spoke for it. Investigation of the question by a joint committce of the council and the Chamber of Commerce had shown the need for such collection. The cost has heen cstimated at $12,- 000 whiclh amounts to a_quarter mill | tax.

STRENGTH WITHOUT SUBSTANCE is unattainable—impossible. Power without strength in the chassis to hold that power is—useless as well as mis- chievous. Speed in a car that lacks strength inevitably spells high main- tenance cost. AND STABILITY, LONGEVITY, can only be obtained by a nice relation of power in the motor and strength in the chassis. THE REO FOLK have been an exception to the rulein that they have never made of Extreme Lightness a fetish. Have never followed it to the extreme—the danger point. REO CARS ARE LIGHT, BUT not light to the point of flimsiness. (Note that important distinction.) IN THEIR LONG EXPERIENCE they have found extreme lightness to be in- ccmpatible with longevity—Ilasting qualities and low maintenance cost. OF COURSE there’s always a temptation to achieve a seeming efficiency by the simple expedient of lessening the weight of the chassis and body the motor must pull. But the Reo Folk have never succumbed to the lure. WE MAINTATN that no car of equal power to this Reo Six but made lighter, can possibly endure for as many years and cost as little from year to year to operate and to maintain. “509, OVERSIZE IN ALL VITAL PARTS"”—the Reo Factor of Safety— necessarily calls for a few ounces more in those parts and a few (and only a few) pounds more in the total weight of the car. But— THE DIFFERENCE IN STABILITY, in dependability, in durability, and above all in cost of upkeep and repairs, is out of all proportion to the slight dif- ference in weight between Reo cars and others. THOSE BUYERS WHO ARE attracted by spectacular performances over brief periods do not select Reos. Those who desire dependability, and consider cost of upkeep, constitute the great and ever increasing Reo clientele. REO STANDARDS HAVE PROVEN to be best for the buyer. And the more prudent class of buyers have come to appreciate that fact thoroughly—as is evidenced by the tremendous demand for Reos. ALL WINTER the factory has been un- able to get even one car ahead of the day-to-day demand. So if you'd have a Reo and have it when you’ll want it, your order must be placed well in ad- vance of that date. Today won’t be a minute too soon. Reo Motor Car Company Lansing, Michigan E. C.
