NOTE OF SADNESS AS OFFICIALS INSPECT TUBERCULOSIS CAMP Everything Crude and Need for Better Equipment
 Seen on Every Side MAKING THE BEST

ExUM WILL PRESENT
 GASOLINE ENGINE

C. Exum, president of the city commission, when he saw yester- day morning at the anti-tlbercu- losis camp the crude method em- ployed in elevating water to the general cistern. realized that a gas oline engine would do the work a great deal more effectively.
 ''I will give you the engine" he said.
 Dr. Walker hardly believes that the pressure of the cistern will be sufficiently great even after the en- zine is installed.
 It Is very probable that a new cistern will follow the engine to the camp.

MORE SCHOOL BUILDINGS
 TO BE CONSIDERED SOON

The action of the commission has been delayed from time to time by various interferences, mostly financial Judge Lane yesterday said that there must be something done and there was little time to be lost.
 q am not in favor of running a bond issue into the millions for school pur- poses," said Commissioner Lane, but I am anxious for something to be done to relieve the congestion now existing. The question is one for the board of edpca- ton and the commission to consider joint ly. There is little time to be lost. and l believe that some action will be start ed soon. I favor the construction of a suitable number of buildings to keep the present efficient system unimpaired."

 Some days later he wrote letters to the 30 prominent gentlemen who had signed the call for the meeting which organized the committees to make tho fight against the fee system. in which he requested each to attend a meeting at which the campaign would be con- sidered. and plans for future action agreed upon.
 One of the 30 attended the meeting,e Jack Wood.
 MT Altman, however, is not discour- aged. He Is wrapped up in the fight. and intends polling every vote in Jeffer- son county in favor of the proposed anti-fee amendment to the constitution.

SOCIALIST PLAN OF
PAVING A Big FAILURE
IN milwaukee, REPORT

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 6.-The
paving adopted by Milwaukee, by ad-
vice, 1t is said, of Paving Commission
err Mullen, who was hired by Scenec-
tady when the Wisconsin courts de-
dided against him, has proven an alb
solute failure. The Socialist paving
proven more costly instead of cheap
er than the pavement laid under the
previous administration. This is
the substance of the official report
made by Commissioner of Public
Works Fred G.. Simmons, who finds
fault with the so-called Milwaukee
bituminous mixture.
OF the pavement laid under the
socialist administration nearly SO per
cent was so poorly done, the report
says, that 1t has been necessary to
repave the streets. A peculiar phase
of the Milwaukee situation is that
the paving specifications. adopted by
the American Association of Paving
officials. were rejected for Milwaukee
use by Mullen, who signed the orig
inal report to the PAYERS association.
In other words, when posing before
the United States as an expert on
street paving, missioner Mullen
Is said to have declared in favor of a
pavement far different from that
which he ordered laid in Milwaukee
when in Office heer. The paving which
he is said to have recommended as
a members of paving officials as
sociation, was adopted and is being
used in ~ cities. 1t was adopted by
unanimous vote of the street COM
missioners of these cities and con-
sulting paving engineers.
The old pavement used in Milwau-
kee was at an average cost of $2.0S.
a yard. The socialist paving was
paid for from s1.30 to $1.40 "a yard,
but in laying this pavement, the re-
port says. there was no inspection by
the administration. the so-called in
spectors being union officials who
were not informed as to the require
ments of paving construction. The
amount of asphalt in the mixture
itself was reduced according to the
report and the contractors were al
lowed to use sand instead of cement
The state in which the socialist
administration left things is shown
by the report submitted to Mayor G..
A. Bading by Mr. Simmons. Com
missioner Simmons declares in a.
public statement that the conduct of
the department of public works was
marked by extravaganza and ineffi-
cheney. He finds fault, particularly,
with the pavement laid down, by the
last administration (the so-called
Milwaukee bituminous mixture) the
purchasing bureau; the city engin-
eering bureau; the municipal electric
generator plant; the water waste
survey; assessments for resurfacing
paved streets, correspondence files
and sewage disposal.
