Once again the Lafayette street job was referred to and the speaker said §8,500 was expended for work that should have been done for $6,000. The municipal records show that $10,000 was spent in work on Hartford avenue which was never ordered, ac- cording to Mr, Curtis, and which was done without authority. “Why didn’t you stop it?” asked George Elliott. “I was not in the council,” an- swered the speaker, When Mr. Elliott made another at- tempt to speak to Mr. Curtis the third ward campaigner answering sharply said, “You keep yvour mouth shut, I'm doing the talking here.” “I have a right to ask you ques- tions,” shouted Mr, Elliott, but the speaker paid no attention to him pro- ceeding with his discussion regarding the pavement work. Mr. Curtis pointed out that during the Holleran administration, less mon was appropriated to the extent of $30,000 and the results show for themselves. Quigley Still Defends.

DANIELS APPEARS * BEFORE COMMITTEE Explains Position of Navy to Con- gressmen—Pay Is Small Washington, March 30.—Secretary Daniels appeared before the house naval committee today when it re- sumed its hearings and gave his views ‘s part in national prepar- He on the nav; edness plans. began his state- | ment with a discussion of personnel. The annual loss from terminating en- listments was 12,875 men, he said, and wastage from other causes was 0. To add a single man to the full quota, he added, meant that the 8,250 men must be first restored by new enlist- ments. Requirements are so rigid that only one in six applicants is ac- cepted. Conflicting views as to the proper enlisted strength, he said, were based en different ideas as to how many ships should be kept in reserve and how many men should constitute re- serve crews. His own recommenda- tions, based on the experience of the department and advice of many offi- cers, looked to a total enlisted strength of 67,952 men High Wages “In time of peace.” he said, I not believe we can add 20,000 men to the navy in one year, as has been sug- Ashore, gested. We now have difficulty in keeping the present quota full hecause of high wages ashore.” The problem. Secretary Daniecls said was to enlist men of the right type. “The navy today,” he said, a great machine shop. 1 believe the day will come when we will not accept anj man who has not had some experi- ence as,a chauffeur or machinist, or in_other vocational callings. The secretary defended the educa- tional features developed during his administration, which he contended, were bringing in men of the highest type. Men Get Training, You can never have an efficient navy,” he said, “if you build a bulk- head so high that young men who en- ter at the bottom can not rise to the top. T burned a bushel of recruiting literature showing men going to the tropics and associating with half- dressed women. It was indecent, All our literature now shows that men who enlist will get education and vo- cational training. The educational work in the fleet does not interfere with target practice or maneuvers. The captains may suspend it as they deem best.” The far-reaching navy reserve plans worked out in the department, Mr. Daniels said, provided for questions never before cared for. and are vital elements of the whole naval prepared- ness scheme. On the question of officers, the sec- retary said recent acts of congress had insured an adequate supply of line of- ficers in time, but more men qualified for special work were needed now, more cngineering officers were nec sary. Secrotary Daniels urged also that two or three great educators “as great as there are in the country” be added to the corps of instructors at the nav- al academy, He asked that an appro- priation of $150,000 be provided for their pay. Men of the type he desired for heads of the non-military depart- ment could not be obtained on small he said. salari Activity All Departments of Student Report Success Including Class Book The High school has had a ve ful vear so far as student activ- are concerned.
