Mr. Monahan gets one of the best
appointive political jobs in the state.
The salary of the position is $4,000.
Previous to the passage OF the war
revenue bill the salary of the place
was $500. bat the receipts under the
new Law have just about doubled, be
ing now a little over Sl,000,000 annual
~. which increases the collectors pay
81 600. The present collector, NJ. f..
Blumenfcld OF WATERFOWL, went into
office October |. 80. Most of his .orce
has been with him from the first. Dur
ing his tenure OF office most Of his
subordinates have been taken under
the protecting wing of the civil service
commission. However, there are three
stamp clerks and two war deputies not
under civil service protection. But
the war deputies-C. s. Crosse of
Stoughton and John Reinking of this
city-are republicans and will doubt

deputy Is Henry Schildhaucr, whose
salary Is $1,000.

Governor-Genernl Davis Says It Will Take
81 300. 600 to Keep Them Alive.


Governor General Davis Of Porto Rico has
written letter to the Merchants Association
Relief Committee OF this city. IN which he says
concerning the present condition OF those rem
dered destitute BY the recent hurricane on the
island:
The fruit and most OF the food crops arc
totally destroyed. Upon these the people sub
sIst. living from hand to mouth. and without
these there Is nothing intrinsic In Porto Rico.
nor any food reserve upon which they
can live until now crop Is produced.
I believe that the great problem to be solved is
more question Of food than anything else.
and to supply this every effort should be bent
The human animal can live here with very lit
tie clothing and shelter. but without food there
can be only one result.
III my conclusions as to the extent OF tho
destruction OF food supplies be correct. the
stress OF hunger will be an increasing one from
this forward for many weeks. and We must pre-
pare to feed not less than quarter OF million
people before tho earth oan again bring forth
fresh supplies. What this m cans 10 shown by a
simple IN athem atical com putation. At the rate
OF one pound OF food per day. per person. how
many pounds OF food would it take to feed $780,
900 persons 10 days?
I'VE might go farther in our calculation BY
considering the cost OF this food and OF dis
trlbuting 1t. for even though all tho military
resources OF the island are being used in dis
tribution. nevertheless the expense OF getting
the food to the hungry will be approximately
about per cent. OF the cost OF the food. This
cost cannot be much less than a million and
half dollars. even II the dot be as proposed.
