IDLE MONEY LIES
IN CITY TREASURY
More Than One and Half Mill
lions of 1903 Bond Issue
Funds Yet Unexpended
Interest Waste On Big Sum Can
Be Saved by DepOsiting
1t in Banks

Auditor Roster made public yester-
day a statement showing that of the
IS, 152, 500 received by the city from the
sale of the 1903 issue of bonds the sum
of $1,615, ,294.63 still lies unexpended in
the city treasury. The auditor called
attention to the fact that 3 X per cent
interest had been paid annually upon
this sum since the bonds were sold
AS the city must have In it's treasury
the full amount of any contract before
it is let, it is impossible for the munic-
ipality to sail as close to the wind in
bond issue construction as can a pri-
vate corporation. The supervisors
finance committee called attention yes
terday to the fact that the recent
charter amendment permitting city de-
posits in banks would cut in two this
interest waste, as the city could get
back per cent or more on it's wait
ing money.
In the new bond issue, however, 1t Is
planned to keep the amount on hand
down as much as possible. For this
reason only $3,200,000 of the $18,200,-
600 bonds authorized were ordered sold
in September.
OF the $1,615, ,2s4.e3 old bond issue
balance in the treasury, contracts now
let cover the full amount of the sewer
bonds, $75,662.29; of the school bonds,
$544,57 and of the street bonds,
S14O,tU i-ft. EuIcndSeS are also pelTS
made which will absorb most of the
playground bonds sold, totaling $274,
GA.
The largest amounts Of idle money
are the s24s,1S5.34 of hospital bond
money and the s134,714.16 derived
from the sale Of county jail and hall of
justice bonds.
During the present month bonds to
the amount Of $4,000 have been re-
deemed, including the entire sewer is
sue of $1S1,2O0.

bonds outstanding on July "a and the
unexpended balances, follows:

MASKED THIRD DEGREE
DetectiUes Hide Identity Wh1e En-
aiming Criminals at Headquarters.

Philadelphia has lately followed the Lead Of
the New York detective bureau in a matter that
deeply concerns the interests of the members
of that large and growing class who are yuh
tected to the matutinal lineup. No longer do
the predatory persons of the Quaker City and
the officers of the law confront each other with
out means Of distinguishing Identities The
sheep and the goats clearly divided beyond
such trffing distinctions as towsIed and we'll
combed hair. lean and well fed bodies A
stranger who visits headquarters may stiH be
puzzled for a moment lacking the key 10 the
system of differentiation. He sees a number Of
masked men and perhaps hastens 10 the eonel1-
sion that these the hideous malefaetors
burglars and porch climbers, thus exhibited in
ltheir proper dress for the inspection of author
,fty. The dapper young men who wear their
own faces would seem to be the honest men,
But it is just the other way around, and once
being informed of this the visitor has no trouble
at all in telling which are detectives and which
are crooks
New York's detective bureau took up the idea
about year ago.
The effect on a prisoner who has spent 4
night in a cell and is taken upstairs TO con-
front ring of masked faces is said TO be very
beneficial. In Philadelphia prisoner burst into
tears of alarm and excitement as he surveyed
the silent ring of white masks. II takes an old
offender TO bear the scrutiny and make reply to
voices of accusation proceeding from facial
shrouds in the style of the medieval Inquisition
Justice becomes impersOnaI and terrifying A
pal may be concealed behind the slit cloth. the
voice is mufied and Yet suggests acquaintance
There is an advantage in administering the
third degree to malefactOrs through the fists Of
masked men The person who receives this
educational course is often too likely 10 store
up in memory the faces Of his preceptors and
cherish ideas not of gratitude and thankfulness
If the masks do not prevent such unhealthy
sentiments. at least they distribute and trans
form them into a mild general prejudice
Many useful devices may be practised in this
connection For instance a masked detective
jolts a malefactor into insensitiIity. and then
removing his mask ministers 20 him as a pro-
tector and friend and gains his confidence
Thus morality is advanced and the line between
the sheep and the goats is still clearly drawn.
