BOARDNEEDS
MORE MONEY

Maintenance of the Board Of Works
during 1872 will require $3.50 more than
was asked for In 1911, according to the
budget of this department, which Is to
be submitted to the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners this afternoon. The
total amount desired is s1,073,0OO. In 1911
the commissioners requested H,02l, ,OOO
which was reduced by the Common Coun-
ell finance committee to $997, ,3S066, which
amount was included in the tax ordin-
ance for last year.
Probably the greatest increase asked
for Is for the care of streets and high
ways $4,000 more being asked for this
item than was requested last year. II
was explained that this is necessary to
take care Of additional paving and to
provide funds to enable the lab0rers to
be worked eight hours per day. AT the
present time the men are only working
seven hours day, resulting from de
ficiency OF money.
Other increases asked are $4,000 for
the maintenance of bridges, $4,000 for
street lighting. $4,000 for sewers and
drainage 5000 to cover the scavenger
contract and $1,000 for repairs TO asphalt
streets.
No request will be made for an appFo-
priatlon for wharves. In 1911 special
appropriation of $4,000 was made to de
fray the cost of dredging the Passaic
river

BUT ONE BID
FOR WEE TOT

Through the publication in The Eve
ming Star of her pathetic story OF pov-
erty and misfortune. Mrs Mary Klndrin,
of 246 Broome street. the widow who
wishes to sell or give away her 2-year-
old baby. has had one offer to adopt the
child and several cash gifts
This money, she said today, little
though It was, had practically saved her
and her baby from starvation
She was overcome with emotion when
reporter presented her with $5 which
was received from "a Mother" today.
She was so deeply grateful for the gift
that she hardly knew how to express her
thanks
Tit is very good of her. whoever
she is" Mrs. Kindrin said earnestly.

know what l was going to do. because
1t is hard, terribly hard. to get work.
You know you brought me dollar on
Monday. 1 hadn't anything to eat since
Saturday. You see. I wanted to bny
milk for my baby, and that took what
little / had.
when ] got that dollar I was so weak
! couldn't carry little Static across the
room. She was hungry. too, and she
wasn't very well. With the money
bought milk and got something for my
self And, see-this is what Is left"
She proudly held up eighteen cents
which still remained from the 81 that
was brought into The Star Office Mon
day by kind-hearted woman.
Mrs Kindrin decided that she could
live on the So for more than week.
She explained that s3 was the most she
had ever earned and therefore the larg-
est weekly sum she had ever expended
during her years struggle against pow
erty.
The only source of Mrs. Kindrin's in
come is what she can earn by scrubbing
floors and doing housework. For this she
is usually paid ten cents an hour. 1T is
the hardest kind Of work, far beyond her
strength. Furthermore, 1t Is very difficult
for her to find any work To do because her
baby requires care and no one is willing
TO take charge of the child for her.
She has two boys Stephen, years old,
and William 7, but they attend Polish
school In Belmont avenue, where they are
given substantial lunches. She has to
provide them clothes, however, and al
though she sews herself she finds 1t next
to impossible to buy cloth.

Braunstein, is still In Beth Israel Hos
pital in an extremely serious condition
He has n fractured skull, both legs
broken and internal injuries. The little
girl died yesterday.
So far no action has been taken by
the authorities in regard to the accident.
although the Tenement House commis-
sion has entered into rigorous crusade
against negligent landlords

be hears from Prosecutor Mott or. County
Physician Mckenzie.

TO do anything"
Mrs. Debausky mother of the dead girl,

The condition Of the porch.
Little Jennie, who lived on the second
floor of the tenement, went upstairs
Saturday morning to have romp with
Morris. her playmate. A short time
later the entire length of porch railing
dropped and the children, caught OF
their balance, went with it.
The police investigated Immediately
but nothing was done to prevent re-
currence of the accident to any one OF
the ten or more other children In the
house.

would take no steps unless one of the
children died.

The Chance 10 Here.

Unconsciousiy almost there
has come about the change that
has been prophecied of and ex-
pected, for some time. We now
have the liberal and the conser-
vative porties. The conservative
party-the party Of the rich, Of
the landlords, Of vested rights,
of the new aristocracy-that is
now the republican party, headed
by Taft. The liberal party-the
party Of the middle classes, Of the
small merchant, Of the wage earn
er. Of the plain plebeian-that is
now the democratic party. A
third party exists-the socialist
which is radical. Roosevelt,
backed by a few Missionaries, would
start a third party-really q
fourth party-to avoid the neces-
sity Of joining the new democra-
tic party, and yet having for its
principles The very principles
enunciatel by the democratic
party. That is futility.
The argument in the campaign
this fall will be entirely between
the two first named parties. The
republicans will declare that thu
safety Of the nation lies in giving
the interests, the wealth and tn,
