Smith and William F. Brooks, members of the park exten- sion committee, failed to put in an appearance at the special meeting of the common council members called last evening, when the matter of pur- chasing property on South Main street for extension of the city’s parks was discussed. After waiting for twenty minutes for the appearance of two of the most interested parties in | the plan, and failing to locate their ! whereabouts by the telephone, those | present proceeded to an informal dis- cussion of the letter sent the mayor, in regard to the land recently ac-, uired by Mr. Smith in the south end of the city. Alderman A. M. Pa- onessa was the only member of the park extension committee in attend- ance. Representing the common council were Aldermen Jester, Anderson and McCabe; Councilmen Mueller, May, Dehm, Steiner, Merriman, Richards, Gould, Eichstaedt and Tommaszew- Bki. Mayor Quigley outlined the contents of the letter from the commission which showed that at present the city owns 37 acres of park property. The Isaac Alling, Towers and .Devitt properties will, by virtue of purchase, increase this by about 85 acres. The missive pointed out the excellent con- dition of the land, for park and ath- letic purposes. There are two houses on one of the sites which bring a monthly rental of $18 each. The cost of installing a draining system would be bout 500. The mayor spoke en- | thusiastically of the project, but fa- | vored the acquiring of land which would give entrance on South Main street, in preference to the Mill street site. He pointed out the need of such a tract of land where the High school athletes and those of other schools could enjoy clean, wholesome recrea- tion. A tribute was paid C. F. Smith by the mavor for his display of pub- lic spirit in purchasing the land at this time, and although he believed that Mr. Smith would hold the land for a reasonable period, he was of the belief that now was the time to take action. Mr. Smith has offered to deed back the land to the city at the same price he paid for it, $9,- 500. It was explained that an option was held on the Alling property which can be bought for $14.500, the sum to be raised through taxation. Alderman Paonessa said that an additional appropriation of about $15,000 would be needed if land is to be bought. Of the original ap- propriation for park purposes of $50,- 000 nearly $40.000 has been expended. Mayor Quigley said that he has always preached economy, but he be- Heved it was best to wait unless the Devitt and Towers properties were purchased. In reply to a question of 2 skating pond on the park, Mayor Quigley said that it can be provided. Councilman Eichstaedt said that the purchase and entrance on South Main street was a step in the right direction. Councilman Richards ex- pressed himself as greatly interested in athletic fieids and decried the favti that local schools are so badly hamp- i work should be started. Any Six vs. Super Six Note Here the Vast Distinction How HUDSON Won A Six now reigns in Motordom—it holds all the worth-while records—it is the lar- [ selling front-rank car. . .. It stopped the trend to Eights and Twelves, by doing what they cannot do, in a hundred famous tests. But it’s not any other Six, patented by Hudson. remember. The winner is the Super-Six, invented and It won because this feature added 80 per cent to six-cylinder efliciepcy—to power and especially endurance. It made added cylinders unnecessary by attaining what was sought for in the multi-cylinder type. But that doesn’t mean that the Six in general is the maximum motor type. It isn’t. They still have the old limitations. Without the Hudson Super-Six princi too much wear. It is present in motors of any number of cylinders.

Engineers all recognize certain limitations in motors of any number of cylinders. The Hudson invention overcomes those limitations. A Hudson Invention We applied this invention to a Six. We could just as well apply it to a multi-cylinder if that would make Hudsons better. It .would add efficiency to any type, just as it does to the Six.

Alderman Ander- son and Councilman Mueller ex- pressed themselves strongly in favor of the purchase. While no definite action was taken at the meeting, it is likely that at the February meeting of the com- mon council the matter will come before the municipal solons for ac- tion. Appropriations Discussed. Mayor Quigley spoke of the coming meetings of the board of finance when the estimates will be submitted. He also explained his reason for ve- toing the Wooster street grading job. basing his action on the increased cost of labor and materials, and also because many other streets have wait- ed longer for improvements. It was estimated that this work would cost about $10,000. The increase in the amount to he asked by the school board which will bring the total up to $342.000 and possibly $350,000, occupied the at- tention of the council members, but the conditions were clearly elucldated by the mayor, showing that recent increases in teachers salaries, which the mayor believed were fair, and the addition of ten new teachers made necessary by the new school on Lee street, together with the cost of re- pairs at the prevocational school, show that the increase is essential. The board of public works will prob- ably be the greatest sufferer through the pruning of the finance board the mayor and some of the council members feeling that the streets were in good condition. and that. with the exception of completing the semi- permanent pavement on Dwight and Jubilee streets and the completion of the paving on Stanley street from Shepard’s Hill to Allen street. no new It was in- ferred that this means that the pave- ment sought on Myrtle street will lay over for another year, as a sewer and subway system must be installed first. Talk of more additional policemen received a’” hard jolt, Councilman Steiner remarking that some of the officers find it hard to keep busy at present. The needs of the fire de- ent coming out. The proposed sta- tion in the south western part of the city, will cost about $7,000 to com- plete. Mayor Quigley was able to present a number of changes by i changes by which the service may be remedied. Among them are the | purchase of a new aerial truck, which | I will cost about $11,000, this fire ap- paratus to be stationed at the Central station on Commercial street. The pump and motor hose wagon at the Central station could be placed in No. 2 house on Em street. and the apparatus in the No. 2 could be re- moved to the new station. In re- gard to the proposed location of the new house, Mayor Quigley thought that the Rockwell avenue vicinity was the most advantageous. This discussion, like the park mat- ter, was informal and no action was taken. TRAFFIC PROBLEM Supplies Plentiful But Transpor- tation Is Difficult Berlin, Jan. 23, via London, 24, 5:30 a. m.—The advisory mittee of the war food bureau has concluded a two-day session devoted to a general review of the food situa- tion. A detailed statement in regard to conditions throughout the empire was made by Adoiph Batocki, presi- dent of the food regulation board. He said that the chief difficulty lay in the shortage of the potato crop, enhanced by transportation troubles. He said that although the grain crops Jan. com- CASTORIA Fer Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Rignature of had been better than in 1910, the total nutrive value of the grain and potatoes together was less and eco- nomical feeding was necessary to the welfare of the population to the end of the crop year. Considerable supplies were available in Rumania, according to Herr Batocki, but ship- | ments could not be made in the quan- tities needed and hence the actual sup- ply was short and rigid on account of the distribution. Herr Batocki complained that the situation was aggravated by the richer people buying under hand at fancy prices what they wanted and thus thwarting the work of the food office. He explained that the distilling of brandy from grain and potatoes had been prohibited since the begin- ning of the present crop year and that allotments of barley to the brewers were hardly more than enough to produce the army and labor with supplies to work on. The committee said that the milk shortage is due to the inadequate supply of feed for cattle, owing to the prohibition against using pota- toes and turnips and also that the consumption of milk in the country districts was greater because of the lack of American lard. The food of- fice is preparing plans to fix uniform milk prices but the supply can scarce- ly be increased during the winter.
