BY NORMAN

NEW YORK. Oct. ga most
extraordinary waiter was encoun-
tered by yours truly in the restau-
rant Of Morrison Rogers, which is
. reasonably classy dump at Sixth
avenue and Forty-fifth street. The
check for a modest dinner amount
ed to 80 cents and what do you
think this waiter brought, In
change for a S. bill?
There is only one guess-three
one-dollar bills and handful of
chicken feed. You could bet 20 to
/ on this proposition, and the man
who took the short end would be
q fool. He would lose 80 times out
Of 100. But this waiter was the
''hundredth man." He brought me
four 81 bills and two nickels.
! gazed at this bunch of money
and tried to figure out whether l
was crazy or the waiter was. Did
he expect me to give him dollar
Zip for a 90-cent meal? Or did he
banker for tip Of only 10 cents ?
PrepOsterous thought!

. NO MORE FREE BUILDING .
. PERMITS .
. q . . . . Q . Q . Q . . . . .

The new building ordinance went
into effect yesterday and the day
of free building permits has gone
forever. Now a graduated fee is
charged, according to the value of
the permit. A charge of so cents is
made for the first $500; 81 for the
first $1,000, and 25 cents additional
thereafter for each $1,000 over and
above the first. Thus $4,000 per-
NIT will cost SIPS, a $4,000 permit
50, or $4,000 permit $13.25.
1t used to be said that the only
thing that person got for moth
ing about the city hall was
building permit, but now this free
courtesy exists no more. The first
days receipts amounted to over
$13, which will help considerably
toward paying the expenses of the
building inspector and the clerks in
the office of the secretary of the
board of public works.
