A Problem For The County
Commissioners.

lact tnat the IfOthOnOtafy Ollicc
is too small to properly take care
of the county's business. The
vault is now overlooking with the
county records, and all space is
crlimed and jammed full. The
file case OF the Common Pleas are
all filled and in some instances
three to five terms have been
placed in the same case, and many
records have had to be taken out
of the Office and place in the
vaults in the old Office formerly
used by the County Commissioners.
This makes it very inconvenient
and troublesome to get access to
| all the records. and reflects not
on our officers, but on the county.
Some provision must be made in
the immediate future for the care
of our records. We believe we
have Board of Commissioners
who are competent and will take
the proper steps to have the nee
essary additional room provided.
This condition has not come sud
denly for it has been known for Il
number OF years that there was
not sufficient vault room for this
office. There have been a mum
ber of suggestions, all more or less
with objectional features. First
there is the iireproof building south
of the Court House, built originally
for the Prothonotary's and Com
missioners office. This building
contains two large fire proof vaults
with steel doors, and is sufficiently
large to keep all records for Il
number OF years to come. The
east room OF this building has been
fitted up for juvenile Jail, but
this need not necessarily interfere
with the vault room.
Second; there is the office next
to the Prothonotary office now
used by the District Attorney,
Superintendent of Schools and
County Surveyor which if made in
a iire-proof vault Would more than
double the vault capacity of the
present Office. The great difficulty
with this is the expense and un-
certainty Of getting vault that is
lire proof. 1t is thought 10y many
that the present vault would not
prove iire-proof in case the court
house should burn.
Third, a large fire proof vault
might be built in the cellar below
the present office, that would afford
sufficient room for Il good many
years to come. This wonld not be
much darker than the present
vault, but would involve consider
able expense in making it surely
fire proof. Fourth. An addition
could be built on the north side oi
the present Office and made fire
proof but would detract very much
from the appearance of the present
building. There are probably other
methods OF making this necessary
enlargement, bat these are all we
have heard suggested. That anot-
her year should not go by without
additional room for the Office is APP
parent to any one who mas occasion
to give the matter consideration. |
But as we stated before we think |
the present Board OF Commissioner
fully competent to find and choose
the best plan for making the inn
vement.

TO RIDE FOR COVETED CUP
Retribution Trophy Chief Prize
of Meadow Brook Meet.

The early days Of steeplechasing and
amateur racing are recalled by the prin-
cipal trophy offered at the Meadow Brook
Steeplechase Associations meeting at
Belmont Park Terminal on Election Day.
II is the Retribution Challenge Cup,
which goes TO the owner OF the winner
of the three-mile steeplechase for hunters.
The cup was presented to the Meadow
Brook association by Mrs. A. Butler
Duncan In memory Of her favorite hunter
and was first run at the meeting of 1911,
when it was won by Bayard Tucker
mans Kennewick.
Retributlon was one OF the famous
steeplechasers and hunters of two dec
AIDES ago, and blazed a brilliant trail
through the race meetings of those days.
When through with racing he made fame
as a hunter with the Meadow Brook
hounds that has never been .equalled by
any other horse.
Another trophy offered on Tuesday is
the Richard Peters Challenge Cup. which
will go to the owner of the winner Of a
fiat race at one mile and a half, to be
held for one year. This cup, known as
the Members Cup, was won by Mr.. Pc
ters at Jerome Park thirty-six years ago.
Ii was presented TO the Meadow Brook
association In 1906 as a perpetual chal-
lenge cup. II is one OF the most impor-
tant links between the racing OF a third
of a century ago and the present time.
Both of these cups will be displayed on
the lawn.

which the enterprise and audaclty Of

adorn the wheels of motor cars. by re-
moving from the roadway every nall and
bit of iron, brass or. steel that, might
cause a puncture. When it is known that
thousands of cars are being run back and
forth in reaching the place where they
are tested, and scores Of visitors cars
office machines and delivery trucks use
the thoroughfare daily, the wisdom OF
saving tires is at once apparent.
Magnet Bill saves his salary dozen
times over every day he works says
G. w. Bennett. yice-president of the
company "He performs his duty faith

road, this cost would reach a total OF

SHOW WORK UNDER WAY
Contracts for Garden and Palace
Have Been Let.
NOVEL DECORATIVE PLANS
Exhibition in January Will Show
Wonderful Advance of Auto
mobile Industry.

Although the show season Is more than
two months away, preparation on the
part of the committee in charge OF the
national automobile show to be held In
Grand Central Palace and Madison
Square Garden January IL to 25 is ac-
lively under way. The exhibition OF
1913, which will be divided into two
parts. will be q record breaker from
every point of view.
Both as a spectacle and as an exhibit
Of what is best in motor car and acces-
sorry making. ii promises to be the fore
most exhibition of its kind ever seen
anywhere. Contracts for steel construc-
tion decorating, sign making and other
branches OF the exhibition have been
given out and the allotting Of car space
has already been disposed OF.
So wonderful and rapid has been the
growth of the automobile industry that
in order TO house its products for exhi-
bition purposes II has been found neces-
sary TO utilize the two largest show
buildings in New York City. This Is In
strong contrast with the early days OF
the automobile, when a few scattered
and meagre displays were reluctantly
given space in bicycle show.
Plans for remodelling Madison Square
Garden and Grand Central Palace have
been completed, and a scheme or decora-
ton for both buildings has been worked
out which from standpoint OF beauty
will be unusually attractive.
The interior of Madison Square GARDEN
will be practically reconstructed, and a
contract for steel large enough to build
a. good sized building has just been given
out. The skeleton steel construction
which will support the balconies VIII be
erected entirely independent OF support
from the walls of the Garden. The In
terror of Grand Central Palace Will be
enriched with tgellls work and floral deco
rations, which will add greatly TO the now
beautiful interior AS in the past, all the
furnishings and signs OF the exhibitors
will be uniform and made part or one
harmonious scheme.
There will be greater number OF motor
cars OF the pleasure and commercial type
shown at the two Weeks, two buildings
exhibition than ever before. while the dis
play OF motorcycles, accessories and parts
will be OF gigantic proportions. Inc

big show in itself and comprehensive
