Two Weeks To Dispose This Big Stock! } o ot i RIS b The board of finance and taxation met last evening and granted hear- ings to the school board. the charity board and the health department, the former asking for $754,000, the charity department seeking $69,552, and the last named asking for appropriation of $33,450. The health department hearing | brought forth some “snappy” o especially when Mayor Curtis asked Dr. Harris, supt. if he had seen some hand bills cniticizing the board for spending too much money. ‘lj can take you right down to Middle- town and near the bend in the river and show you some men who will make all kinds of statements,” the doctor replied. In reply to another question, Dr. Harris said that he could not guarantee an absolutely satisfac- tory garbage collection, even though the $8,900 asked is given. The work is too problematical to make any rash guarantees about, Ikr. Hauris said. an by, Want A Kitchen Like This?

MAY CUT SALARIES Northern West Virginia Oil Fields, Planning New Projects, Abandens Them. Mannington, W. Va., Feb. recent cut in the price of Pennsylvania crude oil to five dollars a barrel is be- ginning to be felt in the important fields of northern West Virginia. Many projects which were to have been started with the opening of spring have been temporarily abandoned while field work already under way will be confined to wells which must be completed in order to hold leases or which would result in heavy loss should operations be suspended. It was said today that the South Pennsylvania Oil company had ordered suspension of 31 strings of tools and the men laid off. Employes of the Eureka Pipe Line company have been notified that bonuses would be discontinued and each man placed on a straight wage scale. Other oil and pipe line companies have followed retrenchment policies and are planning no additional work until the slump is over. Natural gas companies have not yct but it is said that drilling generally will be post- poned until operating costs can be re- duced. AMERICANS HONORED. Santiago, Chile, Feb. 2.—Admiral Hugh Rodman and the higher offi- cers of the United States Pacific fleet which is at anchor at Valparaiso were guests of honor at a banquet given here last night by President Alessan- dri of Chile. Rolionad to give real result. The health de- partment pays the city back in terms of health rather than in terms of money, he said. The amount asked for will simply carry the department along and pay the overhead. No real, progressive work will be possible, he said. Mr. Searle asked Dr. Harris if the present force of inspectors is adequate. “No, sir,” replied Dr. Har- ris. “I must have one more ins; tor to get proper results.” Mr. Searle said the present inspec- tion work by the department of health is very unsmatisfactory. Dr. Harris said he knows it. The city is not getting its money’s worth out of the board of health because of the limited appropriation. He said he was only one member of the health department committee on preparing the budget and he asked for another inspector, but was overruled. Mr. Di- Nonno said he favors keeping down expenses, but not to the extent of preventing efficient service. Mr. Kb-[ hoe said he would prefer to see a hole in the road than cut down :he health department expenses, “‘There are more groves fllled by disease than by holes in the road,” Dr. Harris said. Mr. DiNonno asked about the pro- posed disposition of the automobile owned by the department., Dr. Harris said at least two cars are needed and hree should be had but for economy’'s sake the health board decided to sell the present car and buy two smaller cars Charity Dcpartment Chairman Joseph R. Andrews and Superintendent William Cowlishaw of the board of publc charities were heard on the charity department budget of $69.552. For the present vear $58,475.60 was allowed, Chair- man Andrews said the present hog- house at the town farm is about an eighth of a mile from the town home and about seventeen or eighteen rods from the slaughter house. It was in a dilapidated condition and the board considered it unwise to make any repairs because it is of no benefit in that location. The sum of $15 is asked a hog-house to be near the barn where “the hogs are at present. Whether it is wise to spend any money for the hog-house until the health board decides on changes at the slaughter house, is a question. Mr. Andrews said. It might be possible to move the present hog-house, which is of concrete construction. For outside poor, $19,000 is asked Superintendent Cowlishaw explained that there is an increased call for aid. For this vear $14,000 was allow and up to Jan. 1, 1921, $14,133.40 w, spent and it is estimated that $3,500 will be needed for the balance of t year, so that actually $1,000 more is asked far outside poor than will be spent this vear. Relative to the ¢ mate of $5,000 for tuberculosis work. Mayor Curtis said he thought it better business to have one department care for the tuberculosis work. Mr, Beloin and Mr. Kehoe thought the health board should properly he in charge of tuberculosis work, rather than make paupers of people afflicted Itching PILES PAZO OINTMENT instantly Re- lieves ITCHING PILES and you can get restful sleep after the first application.

The school board was represented by Chairman George W.' Traut and Superintendent S. H. Holmes. The budget calls for an appropriation of $754,100. Mr. Traut said the $510,000 for teachers’ salaries provides for paying teachers at the new Nathan Hale school which, it is expected, will be ready in September. Mr Holmes said the amount asked for is about 5 per cent more than what was al- lowed for thc present year. ' Mr. Traut sald the school board hopes to pay less for coal next year than this year, hence the estimate of $£30,000 as against $37,000 allowed for fuel this year. ¥For the niscellaneous account $5.000 is sought, which is the same as allowed this year, of that amount $6,766.42 was spent up to January 1, 1921 and 1.233.68 estimated for the balance of tlie year. Mr. Holmes said that under the sta- tfute the school board is charged Wwith the duty of attending to Ameri- canization work in the city and he urged the provision he made of car- ryving on the work, There is now an Americanization director receiving $3,000 per year of which $S800 is paid by the state. 'There is also somer money in ar ccunt of $1,000 from a private sourc: There is estimate in he school board budget for Ameri- canization work but it should be pro- vided for in Mr. Holmes' opinon i “fhen you want about $1,250," said Mayor Curtis. “I should say at least that amount,” replied N Holmes.
