BUDGET ALTERNATIVES TO
SALARY INCREASES.

The bureau of Municipal Research Points
Out some Neglected Work Which the
City Might Undertake With the Money
!Requested by Two Department Heads.
Not long ago the Bureau Of Municipal
Research pointed out the tremendous
total which the city budget for 1900 would
reach II the percentage OF increase in APP
preparations asked for by certain depart
ment heads were conceded to all the
various departments. In a statement
given out yesterday the bureau calls at
tention to the salary increases demanded
by the Department of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity and the Department of
Correction and gives some very suggestive
Illustrations of how the money in question
GOULD be used for work that is now left
undone. The bureau Of course does not
pass any Judgment on the requested salary
increases but merely insists that they
ehouldbe considered with reference to the
new functions which the city might under
take with the same amount of money.
The Department of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity asks to increase the sala-
ries Of 557 men now on the payroll. The
SUM Vi tl<<sEoV Wohiu ~ dOuDb dDpIt-
oiably raise the standard of living for
these 557 workers. Before it Is appro-
priatei. however, the taxpayers should
know how many school room could be
equipped as kitchens, shops or industrial
WORKS rooms for,this amount. 1t would
engage 100 additional school nurses and
pay their expenses while attending to
children Of $50 schools during the school
months. 1t is nearly twice the amount
asled for by the Tenement House De-
pettment to inspect all teaements of all
boroughs at least twice a year, and one
half more than the amount asked by that
department to see that the disease breed
ing school sinks and dark rooms are re-
moveda II is three times the amount
spent. by the Comptroller to engage a
special star required TO reorganize the
city's business methods from top to bot
tom. and fifteen times the amount spent
by him for installing a method of hand
ling warrants and vouchers that eecures
prompt pay and prevents favoritism.
II spent on library service this amount
would maintain the Queens library for
almost two years and would run for
twenty-three years the Jamaica branch,
which reports an annual reading room at
tendance of 5000, n reference room at
tendance of 800, n circulation of IS, 600,
and 1900 registered card holders. 1t
would run for twelve years the DeKalb
avenue branch Of the Brooklyn library,
Rrovidins a circulation in that period of
s,OC0,0C0 volumes, and twelve years Of
service to- 10, 300 card holders. In Man
haitian it would keep tho Rivington street

culation Of over 200. 0oO volumes. or would

The bureau of the census, with the assistance of the forest service of the department of agriculture, has for some years collected statistics ! concerning the annual production of
 various forest products, and the pre- liminary figures on the production of slack cooperage stock for the
 year ending December S1, 1907,
 have just been made public. Slack cooperage stock comprises the three
 materials essential to the manufac-
 ture of slack barrel, namely, slaves
 heading, and hoops; and with re- spect to aggregate value the report ed production of these commodities in 1907 exceeded that of 1906 by
 $1,569,6SS, or II per cent, the in crease being from s14,2S0,565 to $15,SO0,253. The statistics for 1907
 were collected from $50 mills, while in 1906, 712 miles were covered.
 The major part of the timber con- sumed in the manufacture of slack cooperage stock goes into slaves, and the reported production, of these in 1907 was 1,175,977 thousand
 pieces, which was an increase over the output in 1906 of 7S,s14 thous- and, or 7.2 per cent, the same per- centage gain in quantity as that shown by the reported lumber cut of 1907 over that of the previous year
 In point of value the slack slave pro- duction increased from $6,0S1,SS0, in 1906, to $7,219,497 in 1907, gain of $1,137,617, or 1S.7 per cent The reported production of heading in 1907 was 106,074 thousand sets, valued at $5,062,S90, as against 129,555 thousand sets in 1906, with a value of $5,662,16S. The decrease was therefore 23,4S1 thousand sets, or lo.l per C0HI III quantity, anu $599,27S, or 10.6 per cent in value. The reported production of hoops in- creased from 330,S92 thousand, valued at $2,4S6,517, to 49o,570 thousand. valued at s3,517,S66, a gain in quantity of 159,67S thou sand, or 4S.3 per cent, and in value of $1 1,031,349, or 41.5 per cent.

Says Rochester Convention Will Be
 open-Mccarren Out For Adam.
 Rochester, N. T., Sept. 12.-The Dem- ocratic state convention to be held here next week. is to be an open con- vention, according to William J. Con- ners, chairman of the Democratic state committee, who arrived here from New York. Mr. Corners declared that the will of the people would pre- vail at the convention; that there would be no slate.
 Asked about the McCarren- Murphy fight, Mir. Corners said that he hoped it would be patched up before the con vention. He would not say whether Murphy was likely to make trouble in the convention for the McCarren dele gates.
 Mir. Corners was asked whether fu- sion candidates would be rejected at the convention. ht
 Nobody but Democrats will be nom- inated," was his reply.
 New York reports say Senator P H. McCarren of Brooklyn announced that he would present the name of Mayor James Noble Adam of Buffalo to the coming Democratic convention at Rochester for the nomination for gov ernor
 Senator McCarren said that he had canvassed the situation very carefully and had come to the conclusion that Mayor Adam was the best candidate who can be named.
 It is now practically certain that the Republicans will nominate Govern or Hughes. I consider Hughes weak man. I feel very confident that we can beat him with Mayor Adam,'' said Senator McCarren.
