PARK BOARD
NEEDS MONEY
At Least $4,000 Required to
Let Body Close Year
Without Deficit
NORTH PARK WORK
HAS CAUSED SHORTAGE

That the Board Of Park Commits
sioners fear a falling Off in their fin
ancial surplus was announced by the
treasurer at the meeting Of the Board
yesterday afternoon.
President Bancroft said that he had
hopes Of the receipt Of some money
but that there appeared to be very lit
tie likelihood Of his hopes being real
lied. He said that at the time the walk
was laid on the north side of the Bran
dywine last summer. it was done with
the understanding that if the Board
encountered financial stringencies be-
fore the end of the present fiscal year,
contributions covering this shortage
would be made by certain persons.
Secretary Mack said that the OK
penditures of the commission for the
year had been about $4,000, this
amount including the cost of improve
ments to parks and Fairgrounds. Mr..
Mack said that the finances Of the
Board were very low but that this com
dition had been occasiOned by the
money expended for the Improvements
on the north side Of the Brandywine.
The following report was submit
ted to the commissioners by the trea-
surer:
Balance at last report, Sii6275;
cash from rents. $4,000; cash from the
New Castle County Insurance company
on returned premiums, $3.50; total,
S426225; expenditures including SAL
aries, $141976; balance, $2S42.49.
Account No. 2-Balance at the last
report S666.6S; Free Zoo Association,
SS3.33; balance, $5S3.35.
When asked what amount would
probably be needed to tide the Board
over the threatened financial situa-
tion, it was said that $4,000 or $4,000
would cover all needs until June /.
and that a special fund amounting 10
nearly S400 was available and would
help materially. The present balances
will be exhausted by April /, it is
thought A full report of the years
expenditures will be ready for the
commissioners in about one or two
weeks, superintendent Mack annOun-
ced.
The auditing committee composed Of
the members of the finance commit-
tee, reported having gone over the
books of the treasurer and of finding
them correct. The committee recom-
mended that the entries amounting 10
Sis in rents, which have been proven
uncollectable, be cancelled and this
loss charged TO profit and loss.

ANTI-CIGARETTE
FOLKS LOSE OUT
Output Of American Factories
Increased IL Per Cent.
Last Year
MORE TEAM EIGHT BILLION
COFFIN NAILS MADE

Whether the increasing use Of the
weed by the women of the land or
the growing capacity of messenger
boys is responsible is not known, but
the fact remains that the increase
in manufacture of cigarettes In this
country last year amounted to almost
II per cent. over the output of the
previous 12 months. Despite the
ceaseless activities Of Miss Lucy Page
CASTOR and the Anti-Cigarette
Leaguers. the results Of their labor
In stamping out the use Of cigarettes
are not apparent, for, according to
the United States Tobacco Journal,
the increase i'm manufacture In this
country alone last year amounted to
1856. .487 1908 Of the little ambassadors
Of NY Lady Nicotine.
Except to the frequenters of hotel
lobbies, summer resort hotels and
other places where the plebeian pipe

the users of the tiny dope sticks" tell
one that last years increase brought
this country's output up to S,177 ,546,-

begins to realize that Miss CASTOR and
her henchmen have something on
their hands when they attempt to stop
the use OF the "horrid things"
Imported "DOpcs" Not Counted.
And these 8,117, ,546,625 innOcent-
looking little tubes OF satisfaction, be
II understood. are only the product
Of this country alone and do not in
clude the gold-tipped. monogrammed,

course. IN this number is included
everything from the "20-for-a-nickel"

inmates Of frat" houses and chauf-
feurs. Every. one of the S,117,546,-
625, however, is OF the common, gar
den-variety of homemade American
kind and the many that are rolled Ly
the smoker from the "makin's" are
not included.
The statistician OF the Tobacco
Journal, after much mental effort, has
arrived at some interesting figures
He says that, taking the length Of tho
ordinary cigarette-about 2 IL inches
the increase last year, II placed end
to end, would make a string OF
smokes" 73,403 miles in length--a
string to the end Of which even a
messenger boy couldn't smoke his
way in a year. and a line of coughs
and stained fingers that would make
three evil-smelling lines around the
earth and leave a few smokes for
everyone who might strike the pic of
"left-overs." The entire output for
the year-s.117. .546,625 cigarettes
placed i'm the same manner would do
better than 10 laps around the world.
Unable to Explain Increase.
Dealers seem unable TO explain the
increase demanded for cigarettes.
Whether it is because messenger boys
are receiving larger salaries. the al
lowances OF college boys becoming
larger. or a desire on the part Of the
United States in turning out almost a
II per cent increase in her manufac-
ture of cigarettes. and apparently they
are going up in smoke.

Evans, Republican, Of Kent county,

terday afternoon. Il is now TO be
acted on by the Senate.
Reports OF expected opposition
when the resolution was called up
proved mere r1imors, and the only

rect election of Senators by the
voters, instead OF by Legislatures.
Representative Evans IN urging his
resolution said that twenty-seven
States already have demanded Con-
stitutional amendment for the direct
election of Senators, and only four
more States are needed TO take favor
able action to make the demand upon
Congress imperative. I'VE want to
