PLANS CIVIL SERVICE.
Aid Gilman viii Introduce Ordinance
In Council Tonlaht.

Civil service may be in operation in
Detroit much sooner than was expect
ed when the municipal ownership de-
cision knocked out all the charter
amendments adopted last fall.
Aid. Thomas Gilman, of the Eight
eenth ward. is the mover. He will in
troduce an ordinance in the common
council Tuesday night, following the
lines OF his civil service amendment
resolution of last year, which he with
drew to give free swing TO the Yer
nor amendment. The Gilman meas
ure differs In few particulars from
that introduced by Aid. Vernon.
Among other things. common laborers
are not placed under civil service.
The measure directs the mayor TO ap-
point for commissioners for terms
from one TO four years. The presi-
dent OF the common council Is given
the deciding vote when there Is tie.
A secretary is provided for at a salary
of $1,000 a year.
Aid. Gilman says he believes the
ordinance will go through the council
without opposition, and will become
effective within few weeks, without
the expense Of adopting charter
amendment,

SUGGESTS
MANY CHANGES
Deputy Controller, On Eastern Trip,
Received Much Valuable Informa-
ton As to Accounting Methods.

Several interesting suggestions and
observations are made by Deputy
Controller Milton r. Palmer, In a re-
port of his recent tour of Inspection
of accounting departments OF vari-
Gus cities and attendance at the ma
tional convention of city controllers
report lie directed TO City Controller
Heineman and by him transmitted to
the council,
Mr.. Palmer was accompanied by Chief
City Accountant Bullock, and they
visited number OF cities. In seek
ing information, he directed his ef-
forts principally along the lines OF
hudget-making. accounting methods,
methods OF purchasing, revenue, and
tax collection.
The itemization of Detroits bud.
get, he declares, is superior TO that
of any city which he visited. The
principal suggestion gained was that
the department funds which are now
divided into maintenance and i'm
provements. might have another di-
vision called "outlays" Improvements
properly speaking, are permanent
things, which will endure for a long
term Of years, while maintenance is
a term of which, he thinks, should be
confined to expenditures for the op-
Grating cost OF the city for the cur
rent year only He observes that
there Is a middle-class OF expendl-
lures, such as furniture, tools, pave
fnents, ETC., which are expected to
last more than one year but are not
permanent, and might be taken care
OF as outlays.
In the matter OF accounting. Mr..
Palmer recommends an annual state
ment which will divide the depart.
ment balances into two classes, those
in which the purpose OF the appro-
priation has been fulfilled and those
In which there are contracts out
standing
In the matter OF city purchases
Mr.. Palmer found that the office Of
city purchasing agent in most cities
just about paid expenses. He ex-
presses the opinion that Detroit
could get many of the advantages OF
the system without the expense OF
a new department. One method
would be by framing contracts for
one departments supplies so tlat the
contractor would be required TO fur
nish the same commodity to other
departments, as required, at the
same price. Coal, for instance. is
bought In varying quantities and
grades and at widely varying prices
for the different departments, while
an article like cement, of which a
large amount is bought by the de
partment Of public works at low
price, costs other departments much
more when purchased in small guam
titles. Tools OF different makes are
purchased by different departments
on separate contracts, where advan-
tage could be gained by buying all
one kind on one contract.
This defect has been met 20
certain extent by the installation of
an auditor in the controllers Office
but his supervision does not come
till after the purchases have been
made. Mr.. Palmer thinks that, with
a slight addition to the force, the
Office could do much to-
wards standardizing purchases.
Mr.. Palmer. declares that pave
ments in Detroit compare favoratly
with those Of any city which he Wis
tied.

COAL MEN GATHER
FOR CONVENTION
Demurrage Will Be Chief Topic Dis.
cussed By Michigan Ohio Indiana
Association Delegates.

The annual convention of the Mich.
lgan.ohio-Indiana Coal association
opened In the Hotel Cadillac, Tuesday
morning, with the registration Of dele.
gates. The organization is composed
or the coal operators, distributors,
jobbers and dealers, and large mum
Der of delegates Is expected. When
the meeting was held in Toledo, last
year. 100 members registered.
One OF the chief questions down for
discussion Is "demurrage." The con-
sensus of opinion among the dele
gates is that the railroads are charging
too much for the detention OF coal
cars after the free limit OF as hours
has expired. They also complain that
the railways are gradually making
the. demurrage regulations more strin-
gent for the dealers. For instance, the
coal men point out that, 10 years ago.
~ hours time was allowed for unload
Ing cars before any demurrage was
charged; that the time is now cut 10
as hours. and that the capacity OF the
cars has increased from 20 TO 40 tons,
thus taking more time for unloading.
The demurrage rate Is 81 per day per
car.
Leading delegates say that the ques-
ton OF reciprocity between CANADA
and the United States will not likely
Ae discussed at all, for the reason thar
N has little, II any, effect on the coal
trade They explain that there Is now
no duty on hard coal going into Can.
ada from the United States and only
nominal tariff on certain grades OF
bituminous coal
Reciprocity Is down on the pro
gram, but the delegates say that 1t Is
not the brand which is just now so
much in the public eye, but means the
mutual exchange OF goodwill and
privileges between operator and
dealer.
The convention proper will begin
vt 8 a. m. Wednesday, with an adj
dress of welcome by Mayor Thompson
A fine line of entertainment has
been provided for the delegates, IN
Guiding their wives, boat rides being

Furnaces Of Niagara.

The abundant supply OF electric en-
ergy derived from the falls of Niagara
has produced the hottest furnaces in
the world. They melt clay to form
the precious metal aluminium. they
fuse lime and carbon-the most infus-
able Of all elements-to produce tue
curious new compound calcium car
bide; they produce graphite, which is
almost as hard as the diamond, they
turn out vast quantities of phosphorus.
and they cap the climax by manufac-
turing the invaluable carborurdum. 1t
is said that the diamond kingdom is
the only one left for the furnaces OF
Niagara to conquer.
