GRAY DEFENDS
THE CITY ENGINEER
Says Every EnduCement Wa,
Made to Otto Pc pie to
Locate Plant Here
MAKES STATEMENT
TO THIS EFFECl

The abandonment of the project Of
the Otto Gas Engine Company, of Phil
adelphla, to erect a large plant here
has caused considerable comment. The
public is anxious to know why the con-
Germ gave up its plans, but so far
nothing definite has been learned con-
corning the matter. Blame is placed
on a city official, who is charged with
having acted in an uncilivil manner to
the Otto people. This official is said
to be City Engineer George Bough-
man, but in connection with this, Street
and Sewer Commissions John G.. Gray
said to-day:
Il think it is wrong to blame any
city official for the change Of mind Of
the Otto people. Before the franchise
was granted to the Commercial Light
Heat and Power Company. Commits
sioner Melvin asked the Otto people if
they were still in the field for a gas
franchise, and he was told no, but that
the company still intended to erect its
engine works here.

delphia concerns" continued Mr. Gray
appeared before the board With a pc
tition to close a street leading through
their property to the Delaware river
front lie stated that the concern de-
sired the street closed because one Of
the proposed buildings of the plant
would span the thoroughfare in ques-
tion. The board in order to encourage
the new company. granted the request.
with the understanding that If the plant
was not erected the city could again
open the street. without any expense.
Afterward the company presented an
other petition for a change Of grade in
front Of its property so as to effect
rome drainage. and while the change
was against the judgment Of the city
engineer, the board again acceder to
the company's demands.
1T is wrong TO advertise this city as
discouraging the bringing Of new in
dustries here" said Mr.. Gray. when
every endesvor and concession has
been made to encourage them, as the
above instances give and the records

AUSTR|A'S NEW
SUFFRAGE LAW,
Most important Measure Pre-.
scented to the House in
Last Generation.
WINNING GENERAL SUPPORT.


Vienna. March THE debate on the
governments general. equal and direct
suffrage proposal for Austria, which
was introduced by Premier Gautch Won
Frankenthurn Feb 49, will take place
in the lower house Of parliament this
afternoon. Ii is the most important
measure for Austria presented TO thu
house in the last generation. The bill
at first encountered much hostile criti-
oism, but It has now won almost uni
versal suppot and there Is every reason
to suppose that II will be passed
one after another OF the important
clubs representing the various nation
alities of Austria have recognized the
project as imperative for the country.
The landed aristocracy, who lose power
and prestige thereby. naturally are OPP
posed to II. but they win not be able
materially to njure the proposed law
which will be energetically and lengthi-
~ discussed. No fewer than 200 speak
ers, half of them In favor Of the meas
ure and half against st. have announced
their intention OF speaking. The de-
bates will be lively, for each party IS
DESTROYS OF protecting its interests and
those Of its nationality at the expense
OF other nationalities. II Is generally
believed the discussion will end in mu-
tual compromises.
The lower house will be dissolved dur
ing the summer and the next house will
be elected under the new suffrage law.
