CITY OFFICERS
GIVE UP POSITIONS
w. B. Stratton Resigns From Build
ing Commission and Frank c. Bald
win Leaves Beauty Board"

Mayor Breitmeyer announced, FRI
day noon. that he had received and
accepted the designations Of William
B. Stratton as a member OF the city
building commission and OF Frank G.
Baldwin as a member OF the city plan
and improvement commission. The
designations have been In the mayor
hands since July II, but he has with
held them In the hope that Messrs.
Stratton and Baldwin might be In
duced to reconsider their action. Their
successors have not been named as
yet. The mayor has several names
under consideration.
That the cutting OF the budgets OF
the building and city plan and I'M
prouement-eo commissions hy-tAe-ee#-
mon council and the board OF esti-
mates had much to do with the resig-
nations Is the general opinion In the
city hall. The latter commission was
cut off without a penny, while the es-
Inmates Submitted by the building
commission were deeply slashed, with
the result that the department has
been greatly hampered In Its work.
One OF the first results was the resig-
nation of Chief Inspector Dalton X.
Wells. Mr.. Stratton now follows suit
though the reason given by him as
well as by Mr.. Baldwin Is that the
city charter prohibits them from en-
tering into any contract with the city
for professional services. Messrs'
Stfatten- and Baldwin compose the
well-known firm of architests OF that
name, with Offices in the Ford build
Fing.
In accepting the designations,
Mayor Breitmeyer expresses the
keenest regret, and deep appreciation
of the services that have been rem
dered by these men in their respc-
tive departments. He also announces
that he will recommend charter
amendment that will enable business
men to serve on these commissions
without such a sacrifice as Is now re-
quired.
Aid William Gutman, chairman OF
the council committee on ordinances,
which is now considering the build
ing code, expressed great surprise
when informed of Mr.. STATIONS re-
signation.
"He has attended all the commit
tee sessions lately and has taken
great interest in the discussions OF
the building CODE" said Gutman. HE
Is a valuable man and one whose SER
vices the city can hardly afford TO
lose"
The councils delay in taking up
the building code was undoubtedly
another factor In Mr.. STATIONS resig.
nation, for II Is known that he had
been greatly annoyed by the d!latory
tactics. This together with the slash
ing OF the. estimates during his alb
sence in Europe undoubtedly led to
the action which has just been made
public.

DECLARES AUTOS

Charles 7. Terry, Leading New York
Lawyer, Gives Interesting Talk
Before Auto Engineers.

BY dividing themselves into groups,
the visiting automobile engineers COW
cred a great deal OF territory, Friday
morning, and acquired vast amount
of important information OF special
interest to men In their business. The
plants visited by the various groups
included those OF the Aluminium Cast
ings Co.. the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine Co., the Cadillac Motor Car Co.,
the Chalmers Motor Co. and the Tim
ken-Detroit Axle Co. All met at the
last named plant at noon and were
the guests OF the company at lun,
cheon on board one OF the local pleas.
ure boats. The afternoon was spent
on the river.
The annual banquet was held In
the roof garden of the fuller hotel
Thursday night, and was featured by
many notable papers. One of them
was by Charles Thaddeus Terry, a
leading lawyer OF New York City, on
THE proper basis of taxation for road
vehicles" Mr.. Terry submitted to the
consideration of the engineers three
propositions relative to the subject
as follows:
First. There Is no warrant In law
for the taxation OF motor vehicles ex-
clusively. nor for the payment by the
owner to the state Of any sum In ex.
cess OF the small expenses Of a reg
istration office.
Second. If vehicles are to be
taxed at all for the use of the roads
all vehicles must be taxed upon a
uniform basis. This is demanded not
only by the Constitution and the law,
but by fundamental principles of JUS
tice and fair dealing.
Third. II all road vehicles are to
be taxed for the use of the roads, a
scientific basis may be reached and a
test devised which may be applied to
every class OF vehicles alike, and this
is a paramount service which you
may render to all motor vehicle users
everywhere.
Mr.. Terry pointed out that automo-
biles, with their broad, fiattening
tires. really improve the roads by
acting as so many road rollers while
the sharp shoes Of horses and the mar
row-tired, horse-drawn vehicles tend
to destroy them. A properly con.
structed road Is improved rather than
impaired by automobile traffic, he de.
clared, and cited instances to estab-
lish the truth of this statement.
There is no ground in reason or
logic upon which to predicate the
proposition that automobiles should
be taxed for the use OF highways and
all other vehicles go scot free" con.
tinued Mr.. Terry. The mere state
ment of the proposition Is sufficient

ABBOTT MOTOR CO.
CHANGES HANDS
Controlling Interest Purchased by
Warren, Pa, Syndicate-0yer Half
Million Involved in Deal.

An important deal was turned In
automobile circles. Thursday. when
big syndicate from Warren. Pa,
bought a large interest In the Abbott
Motor Car Co., of Detroit. manufac-
turers of the Abbott cars. The sum
involved is more than a half million
dollars.
This company was organized In
July, 1909, the controlling interest be-
ing held by Charles S. Abbott, OF the
law firm OF Abbott & Abbott. and f..
r. Poss, who Is connected with the
Yawkey interests in various lines.
The Warren capitalists have bought
out the control, including practically
all of the outstanding stock OF the
company.
The purchasing syndicate is said TO
be very strong one, the members
being the chief stockholders in the
Jacobson Machine Co., Of Warren,
which manufactures automobile parts
and furnished the Abbott with some
of its material. They are all rated
very high, and are said to be ready
TO put all the money necessary into
the Abbott to bring the output to the
demand for Abbott cars.
The Abbott plant turned out about
1000 cars in 1910, and is preparing
to increase this output considerably
In 1911. The plant has a capacity OF
20 cars day, but owing TO some off
ficulties in getting material this year
IL has not been able to run at full
capacity. The 1911 output will prob
ably be close to 5000 cars. Ship
ments of the 1911 model will com.
mence at once.
The retiring members OF the Abbott
net handsome sum on their orig
inal investment.
Gen. Manager Hammers, OF the
Jacobson Machine Co.. is coming here
from Warren to take charge OF the
Abbott plant, but otherwise there will
be no change In the factory admins
tration. A T. O'Connor, John Utz.
and John Phillips retain their inter.
est in the company, and Will continue
to be identified with the management.

JAIL AROUND
| THE Horn
BY cynhin Grey

Potatoes may be baked on gas
let, thus saving much gas when there
is no further use for the oven. A
clean asbestos mat should be placed
over the jet, and the potatoes laid
on the top. An iron saucepan can
then be reversed over them, forming
a Dutch oven. The gas must be care
fully regulated so as to guard against
burning the potatoes. They should
be turned when done on one side.

Slashing Rates Because of Discrim-

 The long threatened rate war be- tween the Boston & Albany and the Boston & Maine on the one side and the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia & Reading and the Baltimore & Ohio on ing of the general managers of the the result of a. failure to settle the controversy growing out of the recent reduction on import rate by the lines centering in Boston. These reductions gave the railroads entering the Bos- ton port distinct advantage over those entering Philadelphia and Bal timore and the latter lines will now make sweeping reductions in their rates on import freight to cut into the business which for the past year has been handled to the great advantage of the Boston lines and the business interests of that city.
 The Pennsylvania and the other lines tried in vain to compel the Ros- ton railroads to change their rates, but this was refused and the trunk lines have started the war with 9 big cut on this class of freight, which will take effect June II. The PhiIa- deIpnia reduction as announced will amount to eight cents a. hundred pounds under the present rate out of Boston.
