Experts of Estimate Board
SAY City TASTES II.

Experts of the Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment assert that the Department
Of Water Supply. Gas and Electricity IN
Brooklyn is wasting $4,000 year I'm the
unscientidc handling of fuel coal.
Nelson r Lewis. chief engineer OF the
Board of Estimate. has turned into the
board a report from Walter ~. PoIakov
and William A. Russell. who were engaged
on February 10 last to make a number Of
tests and observations ON preventabIe
wastes and losses IN the power and heat
ing plants Of the municipality, and these
engineers say that with scientific handling
the CITY could save the amount stated
for Brooklyn In one department OF the
scope Of the work Chiet Engineer Lewis
says:
The number % individual coal burning
plants maintained by the city for power
ana heating Is so great that it was found
necessary TO concentrate the Investigation
on large plants OF one department. and the
department. of Water Supply, Gas and
was selected, because II was believed that
u has the largest coal consuming plants
There has recently been a reorganization
in the Borough OF Brooklyn, and the chief
engineer, Walter r.. Spear has been en-
deavoring TO ascertain for himself the ef-
nciency or these plants. and there has been
a cooperation between the technical stair
or the department and the engineers an
polhteo by the Dodrd.
Messrs. Polokov and Russell say that
the tests In the Water Department in
Brooklyn show that the power plants there
are running with an efficiency OF not much
more than % per cent. regards the con-
sumption or coal. and that by a change
OF methods. involving practically no sx-
pense, the efficiency can be greatly in
creased summarized. their recommenda-
tions are follows.
I. Increase the capacity of the dersrt-
meuts chemical laboratory. and from time
10 time check its working by reliable out
side Laboratories.
,. Changes as soon as possible from
broken size anthracite coal TO any OF the
smaller sizes.
3. Introduce new form % contract for
coal providing for payment on the basis
OF chemical analyses
4. Establish system Of checking the In
dNldudl work OF the tiremen bv systematic
chemical analy OF the ashes.
.. Introduce careful schedules for clean
ing boilers, and establish individual treat
ment OF water at each plant.
y. install indicating and recording draft
gauges or the most modern type at each
boiler. 50 as 10 give TO the firemen "A reli.

THREE YOUNG
 SOCIETY BELLIES
 BIFF BURGLAR
Special from United Press.)

New York, June 10.-Miss Bessie Townsend, Miss Ada Townsend and Miss Kittie Halsey, three young wo- men we'll known in New York society, are nursing numerous cuts and bruises today as the proofs of their undisputed bravery in battling with a burglar that broke into the Beekman Townsend summer home on the Mill Hill road at an early hour this morning. The burglar used a knife and jimmy on the young women who engaged him in a pitch dark hallway as the lamp that lights the hall was upset early in the struggle. The three women and Mrs. Beekman Townsend, who was ill, were asleep on the first floor of the house when the burglar entered by forcing the latch on a kitchen window. While going through the hall the noise walked Miss Ada who sprang from her bed and rushed to the hall. Miss Town sends screams awakened the other women who arose and attacked the burglar. Miss Halsey rushed to the window and gave shriek that was heard over a good part of Oyster Bay. She then rushed to the aid of the others who are her cousins. The three proved no match for the burglar, however, and he broke away. The three women were all rather cut about the breasts and arms, though their in juries are not serious. Mrs. Townsend is proStrated as a. result of the excite ment,
