HENRY sRugRE ON CITY WASTE.

The creation Of a purchasing department for the
city TO be run by executive, was the remedy
advanced to DO away with the wasteful methods
of the city government by Henry Bruere, director
of the Bureau OF Municipal Research, yesterday
afternoon in A speech before the Bedford branch
of the Young Mans Christian Association
Mr.. Bruere said that poor business management
and lack of cooperation between the city's pur-
chasing departments caused most Of the waste Of
municipal money His plan for the city was similar
10 the one adopted by the Hartman railroads. by
which a saving Of 80 per cent in purchasing sup

FREAR'S
OWN WAY

Representative Joel Cohen yesterday
in the House moved reconsideration Of
his resolution calling for information
from the Governor on the condition Of
public lands in this Territory.
Reconsideration being the wish OF
the House. Cohen moved to amend by
changing the wording so that the reso-
luton will read to the effect that: the
Governor be requested to secure and
transmit at the earliest possible date
Information relating to public lands
leased to the sugar plantations by the
Territory" instead of, as it read before,
information from the officers of the
sugar plantations leasing public lands.
Representative Sheldon thought Land
Commissioner Pratt the right man to
ask for the information required.
Cohen stated that the resolution was
introduced at the Governors request
and the Governor thought he could OBJ
tain the desired information quicker in
his own way than to send to the plan
tatfons.

consideration with the bill.
ACTION ON BILLS.
The bills reported on as above were
taken up on second reading.
Coelho moved that consideration of
his bill be deferred to the tenth day of
the session. The bill was in accord
with a petition he presented from citi-
zens in his constituency last session.
He had asked the Attorney General for
an opinion on the subject, but the only
response was ridicule from the Adver-
tiser. Also he had written to the De-
legate to Congress for information and
was awaiting his reply.
President Smith asked: Apart from
treaty rights do you think it would be
advisable to have this bill enacted"'
Coelho said citizens should be pro-
tected from violations of the law. There
is Federal law prohibiting aliens from
fishing within three miles from shore,
but it provided no penalty.
Chillingworth thought it was a farce
/ to refer a bill to the judiciary Com
mittee if its judgment thereon was TO
be ignored. Fish caught outside the
three-mile limit would be subject to
! duty.
Coelho raised the point of order, the
chair ruling it well taken, that mo-
ton to defer was not debatable, and
| Chillingworth sat down
The motion carried.
The bill relating to bonds of admins
traitors, etc, was explained by Nc
Carthy. 1t had been given to him by
people downtown and had been APP
proved by Judge De Bolt. Its object
was to prevent straw bonds. When
an administrator puts up bonds by a
surety company it ought not to be up
to him to pay the premium. The bill
passed.
The bill requiring that only citizens
should be employed by the Territory
and subdivisions thereof was hold
