The Greek Fleet Now Searching for

London, April 26 The Times today

The latter is quoted as saying that neither
the king nor the government had received
any information that day from the Greek
army in Tbessaly beyond the announce
ment that the Greek forces rctreated in
good order saving their artillery except
the siege guns which they had been
forced to abandon.
General Smolenski's column concerning
which the greatest anxiety was felt has
reached Phnrsalos safely and the premier
added, 40, 600 Greek troops are now con

OF considerable strength, the advisability
of occupying it in case of retreat having

visable. l regret that no plan has yet
been devised for the-united action among
those seeking to amelorate the condition
of those in distresss. 1 again urge that
some intelligent method be applied to the
distribution of charity. Concerted action
by the county and city authorities would
prevent imposition and secure better re-

the powers of this commission be materi-

THE COMMISSIONER OF. PUBLIC
WORKS.
BY the judicious management Of the
affairs of the several departments entrust-
ed to him, the commissioner of public
works has been enabled to carry on their
regular work at a less cost TO the city.
Out Of the usual appropriations for regu-
lar department work, he has been able TO
expend $4,000 foe much needed improve
ments. At the same time the handsome
cash balance of $4,000 was left to the cred
it of these departments at the close of the
year. The operations Of the departments
under. this commissioner have been on the
same scale as heretofore, the savings be-
ing accomplished by a more effective use
Of men and materials at hand Careful
scrutiny of all work, strict requirements
as to the quality of all supplies purchased
and the introduction of new and more pro-
gressive methods have had their natural
effect in securing the city better results
from the money appropriated. From the
report of the commissioner it will be seen
that he has abandoned the old forms, and
adopted the system in use in leading cities
of the country, in presenting the re-
suits accomplished for the information of
the public The commissioner has relieved
the aldermen of much arduous labor, and
by this concentration of work under one
responsible official, the city's best inter-
ests have been materially promoted. As
with the other commissions what has
already been done, is the most effective
reply to those, seeking the adjustment of

From the treasurers report YOU win
perceive that the cash outlay
exceeded the amount appropriated in The
ouoset about $4,000. 1t is proper for me
TO explain that this increase was not
caused by the expenses of the various DO
partments overrunning the amount an
propriated; these were really less than he

due to the following causes:

the legislature would have relieved the
city OF this burden which should be borne
by the county. Also 5000 was due tbe

street paving there was an excess in ex-
penditures OF S2lSi2 over the $4,000 APP
propriated for the city's share of sttcb
work. This is due to the fact thai tho
paving on South Broad street and Louis-
Vile road was incomplete at the close of
the year and no assessment OF property
or collections could be made. There IS also
due the city by property owners on Aber-
corn street and Bay street extended. S..

II has not been the policy Of this admin
istration to stop public improvements
This has been abundantly demonstrated
by those made during the past two wears
as well as by the fact that the budget for
1897 contains appropriations for stiob vorls
aggregating s105.000 At the same time II
has steadily borne in mind the advisa bill
~ OF relieving property owners and bust
ness men Of some OF the burdens OF taxes
that are imposed upon them so heavily.
