Westinghouse Air Cushion May Soon

Many motorists will welcome the
announcements that an air-cushlon
has been perfected by George West

tires may be used instead of rubber
without lessening the reslllency neces-

The rapidly rising price of rubber.

FOOLISH TO DELAY ACTION ON
TIE BUDGET.


Whatever other communities In the
State may think about the necessity
for and desirability OF adopting a new
form of municipal government, there
should be no division of sentiment
among the people of Newport News
on this subject That IL is the height
of folly to have the management OF the
eity's business affairs Placed In the
hands OF twenty-four men, chosen
without regard to their especial MT
ness, divided into two organizations
and giving only incidental attention
20 municipal business, has demon
strated SO often that the publc's only
wonder now is that the city gets
elong as we'll as II does under the
circumstances.
Just now the people are having the
truth about our foolish system i'm
dressed upon them through the coun-
ellis handling of the matter OF the
budget for the coming fiscal year.
Under q we'll regulated business ad-
ministration the budget would have
Teen adopted two months ago. The
council has not passed the budget,
and there seems to be no prospect Of
having the measure adopted In the
immediate future, although 1t is es-
sential that the appropriations for the
various departments OF the city gov
ernment be available on July 1, when
the fiscal year begins.
II seems that those members of the
common council who oppose the adc2-
ton of the budget as reported by the
finance committee have assumed this
attitude because they resent the fail
ure of the board of aldermen to act
upon the retrenchmnt measures sent
up by the lower branch. Most of the
retrenchment ordinances make reduc-
tons In tae salaries of city officers.
and some of the common council
man seem 10 think that the adoption
OF the budget in the present shape
would defeat their fight for salary re
auctions. And as twelve votes are
required to pass the appropriations, 4
few members can hold up the bulge;
indefinitely
As a matter OF fact the budget has
nothing to DO with the salary ordi-
sances. The budget merely ap-
propriates money to be expended as
dirssted by other ordinances. The
present city officers OF their SUCCESS
ors will draw their salaries as al
present Fixed no matter when or how
the budget Is passed. II the city
does not pay the salaries the Of
ncers can sue and collect them. And
the salaries can be reduced only BY
ordinances adopted by both branches
q the council and signed by the
mayor. So the members OF the low
or branch who want salaries cut gain

his services Sunday. Automobiles were So

The service was especially carried out sc-

had not been inside q real church and gone
through the service in that way for years

successes. The Ad men, the Saengerfest

make II certain the aviators will get their
guarantee ana that expenses will be met
IL cost little less than 5000 TO stage
the Ad club convention. or this amount
N,500 was spent to secure the convention
and advertise 1t, and like sum was ex-
pended In entertainment Of the visitors.
This did not, Of course, cover the whole
entertainment, the knights Of Ak-Sar-Ben
and the newspapers contributing materially
In this respect. OF this 5000 part was
raised by the Omaha Ad club and part was
expended by the Bureau Of Publicity OF
the Omaha Commercial club.
The saengerfest dealt in larger figures.
This was nothing less than a $4,000 propo-
sition. 1t cost this sum to pay the big ex-
penSes. The Auditorium rental was about
$500 an amount less BY 500 than Miss
Msry MunchOff, Marcus Kellerman and
Christian Hansen each secured for warb-
ling here. The expense Of the stage was
cor siderable. advertising cost big sum
and conductors salaries ran into Toy
money. The musicians imported from Chi
cago to fill out the orchestra were well
paid and they got their travelling ex-
penses ALSO The local instrumentalists
also had their recompense.
The financing of the affair was conducted
by the Omaha Saengerbund association
Which has not yet balanced its books, but
will soon.
The outlook is that $500 to $1,000 VIII be
cleared.
The Cnrtiss company will carry OFF hall
the gross receipts of the present meet, witt
guarantee that this will come to 5000
1t is likely that this will be met by tho
Income.
Curtiss' assistants get pretty good money
for risking their necks. They will probably
receive something like $500 apiece tol
their five days work here.

About half the procession, which COM
prised the lead went astray by merely
keeping headed forward east on Douglas
and caused temporary bewilderment by not
turning south on Eleventh street as in
tended. The latter half section turned its
proper corner according to orders, and two
pnrades resulted. Several messengers were
dispatched ahead when the lapse was noted,
and the forward section was caused TO
double in its tracks and proceed back to
Eleventh and get In line again. The result
was that what had been the vanguard in
the beginning became the rear guard for
