Bureau of Research


Bureau of Research.
Proper action looking toward the
stablishment of bureau of municipal
research should Immediately be taken
An expert should be called in to advise
with you on this subject The first OBJ
ject of this bureau should be to make a
municipal survey, to furnish accurate
and adequate knowledge of social and
industrial and economic conditions
leading to specific and practical plans
for city betterment.
Thus complete cost keeping system
for every municipal department should
be established distinct from an ac-
counting system. Such a system would
enable any one to discover the losses
whenever such existed"
He then pointed to the '-incompetency
with which public work has been dore
in the city, and said steps should be
taken to reorganize the board of public
works on the basis of deficiency and
competency
AS to saloons the mayor said:
THE question of the saloon is one
that has been and is extensively agi-
tated- In our city the saloon is regu-
lated under the license system The
saloon keeper who conducts a clean and
respectable place should be protected.
No trickery to entice him into traps
should be condoned. While the law
prohibits the sale of Intoxicating drinks
to minors and this laws should be en-
made a misdemeanor for any one TO
induce a minor to obtain LIQUOR under
false pretenses."
The mayor urged abolition of tough
saloons.
Mayor SeideI urged that many city
positions be abolished and other com
bined for the sake of economy.
The mayor closed by declaring all the
world looked toward Milwaukee for the
first practical demonstration of social

That Is Problem Which Is Causing

New York, April 19.-More tinker
ing with the football rules is necessary
before it will be possible to save the
present forward pass across the line of
scrimmage and still provide an ade
Quate and proper secondary defense
for the defensive tackles. This was
the opinion today of Henry NJ. Whea-
ton. the ex-Y'Ie player. Just back in
New York after observing the work
lngs of the new rules in spring prac
tice at Anna polis-wnere he will be
head coach next year-Wheaton said:
THE troubles of last year and pre-
ceding seasons with the forward pass
will not disappear until a rule is
adopted providing that any forward
pass across he line of scrimmage
which travels more than ten yards be-
yond the poin- where the ball is put
in play, may be caught and handled as
a fair catch. under the same regula-
tions that pertain to catching of
kick This would allow the defensive
halfbacks to iay up close to the line,
preventing lire buckIng, opening the
play and holding the forward passes
to shorter distances.
The new tackling rule which for
bids diving tackles, Is a failure, and
will result in a bigger cripple list than
the old regulation. The splitting OF
the halves into two fifteen minute
periods has also resulted unhappily in
our spring practice"
