STAFF HIGH SCHOOL
PAPER Is SELECTED
Each Glass to Be Represented by an
Editor on the New PubIica-
ton.

Plans have been completed for the
publishing of high school paper. A
few years ago the school published a
paper. but lack of interest on the part
of the students forced it to be aban-
dcned. Sufficient advertising has been
secured and the success of the publ
cation now depends upon the way the
students patronize it. The work of
organizing the paper has been placed
in the hands of Professor Mann, in
structor of English. 1t is his inten-
tion to have each class represented By
an editor. The various classes have
held meetings and have selected the
following class editors:
Souior1-Miss Marie Tremann
Juniors-John Marshall.
SophomOres-Marcus Brough
Freshmen-JOhn Halves.
John Hawes, the freshman editor,
might be called the youngest journal
is in the city. At present he is but
Il -e1rs old and for two years he has
published a little paper. being his own
clitor, reporter and printer.

yet been chosen.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Pressure by the

Luther for whose killing he is now

hardt committed at Islip could be

Chicago, Oct. 27.-When Fred A.

Chicago in 1907 his chief campaign
promise was: eff elected, will give
you a business administration" He
was elected-the first republican may
or ina even dozen years.
In the awarding contracts one would
expect that recognized business prin-
ciples could be applied. In the matter
of repair of asphalt pavements they
have been forgotten. To date it is
the big scandal of the present admin

paid S419, 900 for repairs, which an
other contractor offered to do for
$254, ,134-a difference of $159,000.
AstonIshes Contractors.
In June, 1908, the commissioner of
public works advertised for bids from
contractors to repair Chicago's asphalt
streets. The advertisements specified
that the contractors should submit a
price on laying a square yard of as
phalt surface, price on laying a
square yard of both surface and foun-
dation, a price on cubic yard of con-
crete, and a price on a ton Of binder

JUST WHAT SORT OF "BUSINESS"
ADMINISTRATION CHICAGO HAS

blind man could see that if SITS is a
reasonable price for the laying of a
square yard of asphalt surface one and
one-half inches in thickness, it would
cost more than one cent to lay both
that surface and a square yard of con-
crete foundation six inches in thick
ness. But the administration could
not see it.
OF course the estimate of the amount
of each item which would be used un-
der the contract was all wrong. The
inspectors found a great amount of re-
surfacing to be done at the exorbitant
figure of $1.75 yard and comparative
ly little complete pavement to be laid
at one cent q yard.
What DiRerence Amounted To.
McGovern's total bill amounted to
s413,24S. If the contract had been
given to any one of four other bidders
it would have cost the city as follows:

effort to secure a return of the saloon

ner. The petition was filed some time
since and it is to be canvassed by the

the list of names was filed the liquor
men thought they had an ample ma
jority, but the Law and Order league
IS said to have since secured enough
Withdrawals to invalidate it. Yester-
day Robert Welch and Conrad Brunke,
who filed the petition, demanded that
it be returned to them by Auditor
Lawrence in order to start over again,
but the official refused to give it up.
Suit to secure it was threatened and
the whole matter is in a<fair way TO
find its way into the courts.
