SWITCH LICENSE DEPUTIES
TO CITY CLERKS OFFICE
Five May Be Dropped If Police See
That Al Delinquent Licensees
Come to the City Hall
and Pay

The city council yesterday deter
mined that some specific improvement
must take place in collection of all
city licenses. and directed that inquiry
be made why the police department
has ignored the plain provisions of the
ordinances that the police shall be
deputy license collectors. Hereafter it
is hoped that licenses will be paid at
the city hall as taxes are now paid.
1t is now proposed to shift the FIVE
deputy collectors in Tax Collector f.,
r. JohnsUns office temporarily to City
Clerk Harry Lelandes office. If they
there establish that their services are
needed. the -partisans will favor
keeping them. otherwise all five may
walk the plank with the end of the
present fiscal year
Councilman Wallace argued that
there was no warrant for hiring these
five men, but as it seemed hard to
divorce them from their jobs it might
be good business policy to see what
they could do in the city clerks office.
Councilman Wren favored censuring
the police department. He asked City
Attorney Hewitt what could be done
toward stopping their plain neglect OF
duty.
1t was pointed out that as patrolmen
are in the civil service charges of neg
lect of duty could be filed. Moreover,
the council, as body could, institute
an inquiry into the police department
conduct
BY a solid vote of the Republicans
the censure proposition was defeated
but the question was referred to the
finance committee to settle, which de-
partment the five men should be trans
ferred to If at all.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK April 6-The announcement
Of the Erie financial plan which was made
after the stock market closed on Saturday
was without effect today unless the torpid
state OF the trading was Influenced by the
peeularities of the announcements The tone
of the official offer implied a threat that II
any notes were withheld the plan would be
allowed to lapse. The alternative would be
n rcceivership. The position offered was suf-
flciently delicate to suggest suspension OF
judgment on the effects until the matter Is
definitely adjusted which viii be when the
old notes mature "wednesday.
Tho spasmodc jump in prices OF stocks
on Saturday was accepted as jim some sorts
an expression of opinion on tho Erie plan so
far perfected and this added to the dis
inclination to extend the movement. With
the remaining uncertainty over the Erie
plan there was the doubt as to how far the
effect on the market Of It's assumed success
had been exhausted. The bears were tinlid
about attacking the market from tho fears
that final success of wednesday of the effort
to secure exchange for the Erie notes FOR
new prove a new stimulating tendency IN
tho market. The stock market was held In
suspended animation throughout tho day ar
consequence OF these considerations. Oper-
ations between three or four traders OF the
more active class and in handful of stocks
practically made up the whole market. The
price of copper made some recovery In Lon
don and the effect was good on the group OF
copper industrial stocks. Railroad traffic
officials express increased confidence in the
promise or growth OF traffic, but they had
no actual increase In the movement to re-
port. Reports OF winter wheat conditions
continued favorable with substantial sus-
tanning effect prices of stocks. The per-
slstence OF the demand upon London for gold
and a renewed decline In the sterling ex-
change ratio at Paris kept alive discussion
OF a possible export movement OF gold from
New York. Foreign exchange rates here
were practically unchanged and the demand
for money on time so light as to offer
slight opportunity for placing funds

turn of affairs was due to the market being
flooded by Growers. When cabbage ad-

BILE for the jobDers to get sufficient supply
10 meet the demand The growers it is
believed held back receipts in contemplation
of such an advance. but too eager to
reap the harvest of the high prices The
result was a market literally flooded with
tthe product and a disheartening slump in
quotations.
Rhubarb advanced to $175@2,00 on the
produce exchange. Butter was frmer with
the result that creamery extras advanced
TO l7hc from the quotation which prevailed
last week and which lowered to 45c on
Saturday morning. Creamery hrsts held at
45c while dairy butter dropped to 42l9c.

I'VE understand that there does not actually exist

remarked.

absurd thing that they should have permitted
the life of one to stand between them and the
world power for which they had planned and
schemed long. He paused a moment. then
