CLEARING HOUSE OF !:
CITY INFORMATION
Report to Be Read From Or
ganization in Convention.

Atlantic City. N. j., Oct. 10.-one Of
the interesting features at the Annual
Convention of the American Society of
Municipal improvements. to be held
here October goth. will be report on
Operations Of the Clearing House of
Municipal Information. This project
was authorized by the Society year
ago, the secretary acting as the head
of the Clearing House and all the ex-
penses being met by the society.
The object of the society is not to
furnish information on demand, but
rather to obtain it from others and
then keep on file all answers for ref
erence in case of similar inquiry
from other sources.
The information which it was ex.
pected to obtain in this way was not
intended to be technical in its ma.
ture, but rather statistical. or in the
general nature of mere facts.
Thus, it was not expected that ad
vice would be given concerning the
advisability of adopting wells for a
water supply, but information could
be collected from all the cities Of a
certain class or district as to what ex
perience they had had with wells. II
was thought that such Clearing
House would be of benefit to those
who asked the information because
the Secretary Of this society might
have some or all of it already on file
Of hov fhr
names of the officials of the various
cities of the country and would know
to whom to apply. On the other hand
it would tend to relieve the city off
Gals of SOM Of the food of inquiries
which are constantly coming to then
| to fill our blanks or otherwise repl!
| to all kinds of questions; many O
| these, moreover. coming from those
| of whose names, positions or stand
| ings they were entirely ignorant. OF
| ficials who had sent out inquire,
complained that replies from fifty pc
cent of them would be an exceptional
| ly good showing. Officials receiving
them, complained that If they an
swered all such inquiries, large par
of the time which belonged to tax pay
ers, would be devoted to answeriu,
the questions of non-taxpayers.
! was hoped that both these complaint
would be largely met by such Clear
: ing House.
The Clearing House has been In or
Grafton for less than a year now, Blu
it has already been made use of by
considerable number of members o
the Society (only members are pei
mitted to take advantage of its OF
portunities. since all the expenses ar
born by the Society and such use i
constantly increasing.
