was refused a statement. He contends
that the disposition of the city's
money is the business Of all the tax.
payers.
The money used In tho contlng ent
fund has been the cause Of moro OF
less publicity during the political cam.
paign this Fall. The contingent fund
was recently eIhaustively examined by
dieinterested committee of bankers
and taxpayers and was reported to be
accurate in every detail. The commits
sion, at meeting several days ago
refused to make n detailed statement
Of the fund, on the ground that such
publicity would be detrimental to the

COMMISSION TALKS
OF SMOKE PROBLEM
New Ordinance Probably Will Be
Passed to Aid In Abatement of
the Nuisance.

The creation of distinct department
of smoke inspection and the passage
Of a new ordinance bearing on the
troublesome subject, were considered by
the city commission yesterday in in
formal session.
Discussion Of the smoke report sub
mitted by the Commercial club and its
recommendations led to the favorable
consideration of these two steps, both of
which are recommended in the report.
Mayor Samuel G. Park declared that
it was essential first to discover just
what is the cause of the smoke. Ar
rests and prosecutions would be use
less, he argued, unless a remedy were
at hand. Additional legislation would
only tend to embnrrass many good cit
izens without any good results, he be-
lieved. The mayor said that prosecu-
tions should be resorted to only when
education and common sense failed,
Other members of the commission
agreed with the mayor on this point,
but they insisted that more adequate
ordinance would be an aid in cffecting
a remedy when other means fail

Auxiliary Often Needed.

To counteract the impaired air sup
ply resulting from the addition of fuel
In any npprecIable quantity to the
fire. an auxiliary air supply Is often
advocated. Such additional air can
be admitted by slightly opening the
fire door. or by means of special
hampers In the door, or by inIets To-
Gated either In the side or the bridge
walls OF the furnace. Such admis-
sion OF air. however. is very difficult
TO control and on account of the Inn

admit large excess OF air to make

Workers for every candidate for city

keen interest in the municipal election of

being taken In the campaign by any Of

selves and the workers in their behalf.
The lack OF interest in the election
