 COMES TO CITY
 MAYOR GRATIFIED

Mayor Buckingham who has been endeavoring since he took office to have the state advance the city a part of the money due for the state construct1on~work in Fairfield avenue was exceedingly gratified this morn ing to receive a voucher for $1,000 from State Highway Commissioner Macdonald the amount to apply on the balance due the city. This mak keS a total of $6,200 the city has received toward the entire contract price which is approximately $10,000.
 The highway commissioner dec1ar- ed on inspecting the roadway the city had built under the former admins tration in Fairfield avenue that he would not accept it and he refused to make further payments on it. Former Mayor Lee and Director Bi1tz being settled and one of the first things that confronted the present mayor and director on coming into office was the Fairfield avenue mix up where the city in the role of con- tractor was the creditor of the state and the state was unwilling to pay for the work done. The city had and would not get it back from the state.
 The mayor after several confer ences with the highway commissioner induced him to make a payment in advance and the city agreed to put the road in a condition that would be acceptable to the state.
 It will proba ably cost between $4,000 and $5,000 to put the highway in a condition to satisfy the state and the amount due from the state will near ly pay the bill.

 4 happier family than the Roose- velts today could not be found. Mrs. Roosevelt and Ethel were complete 1y refreshed from their wearisome train ride and expressed themselves as happily surprised at their comforta b1e quarters in the home of Reginald Win gate. which had been placed at Col oneI Roosevelts disposal during the stay in Khartoum.
 ssI don't know which is harder, struggling through the jung1es of Africa or meeting the demands which a return to civilization imposes re- marked the Colonel today when a mass of accummulated mail was presented to him. His mail is so heavy that no attempt will be made to answer it at this time. Among the letters are hum dreds of requests for trophies and me mentoes of the African hunt. If Col. Roosevelt compiled with these requests there would be little left for the Smithsonian Institute and other Amer ican museums that are to profit from his expedition
 Wherever Colonel Roosevelt and his family went today they were the cen ter of interested groups- An official statement that the family wished as much privacy as possible during it's stay here was only partially needed,
