Bureau of Municipal Research, he
said, applies to smaller cities. The

some Of them, with equally as good
results over former years when a
higher tax prevailed.
DR.. Hut hi1son said that there was
no criticism to be made of city Off
Gals at any time. He realized that
officials usually are busy men, and
often are forced to overlook details
in operating city governments that
are most important, and that politics
are not properly developed
The Bureau engaged efficient men
to investigate every department of
the city government. "Our purpose
is the same in Pine Bluff" said the
speaker. "The City Beautiful Club
wants to know the methods of the
work here and wants to compare
them with that in other cities, and
suggest remedies, outlined by men
who give the work deep study. We
hope to bring the efficiency up to
100 per cent"
DIR. Joseph Jasin, who accompani
ed DR.. Hutchinson to the council
chamber, stated that he hoped the
city officials and others would give
him every cooperation and assis-
lance, AMI he asked this much in the
name of the City Beautiful Club. He
said there was no criticism to be
made OF the citys present officials,
that they were doing as we'll as any
other officials in cities under the
same conditions
Alderman sorrells assured DR..
Hutchinson that he would be ex-
tended every courtesy by the city Of
ficials and that it was the sense of
the council that all cooperate with
him to better Pine Bluffs condition,
if possible. eve might be able to
get some money for the city from
DR.. Hutchinson before he leaves"
added the aldermen amid laughter.
DR.. Hutchinson will spend today
comforting with city officials. He
will start with Mayor Bloom and go
On down the line, talking the con-
ditions over with all of them. He
will then inspect the city's financial
records and investigate into the
working of the various city de-
partments. DR.. Hutchinson will re-
main here about one week. He will
then return to New York and pre-
pare the .'eport for the City Beautiful
Club.

Little Rock, Dec. 15.-Mayor Tay-
lor Monday night submitted the re-
suits of his negotiations on the Pine
Bluff Inter urban proposition to the
city counc.. for it's consideration.
The contract which he has worked
out with the representatives Of the
interested corporations is one that
meets their approval and that it is
believed, of nearly all the members
of the city council. 1t is much
better contract than either of the
two that were vetoed by the mayor
lats summer.
On September the whole matter
was referred to the Mayor as a COM
mittee of one to work out the
franchise that would be equitable
to all concerned, and in the face OF
the most annoying and unreasonable
criticisms On the part of certain
parties. .vkich he has practically
ignored, he has gone along Calmly
and prepared a contract which it is
believed will sooon be passed and
will provide for the construction of
an interurban between Little
Rock and Fine Bluff, and terms for
THE crossing of the free bridge that
will be acceptable to the people.
The plan contemplates the grant
ing of three franchises, all of which
were introduced nights, to the Inter-
Little Rock, Pine Bluff and Eastern
Traction Company, and The Little
Rock Railway and Electric Co. 1t is
probable that these ordinances will
be put through within the next week
or ten days, as there is no further
need of delay, all the details having
been worked out to the satisfaction
of all parties concerned.
C. c. Kavanaugh, president of the
Pine Bluff interurban, in a letter to
city Terminal Railway Company. the
the mayor says. eve believe now
the ordinances as proposed will
overcofe most of the objections here
tofore raised by both parties to the
controversy, and which, if passed by
the city council and approved by
yourself, will insure the building OF
a Pine Fluff interurban, and MAX
ing other improvement contemplated
as quickly as details necessary in
carrying out work of this magnitude
can be consistently arranged.
"The bonds provided for to secure
the city will be made as expediously
as can be legally done. The rapidityl
with which the construction work
can be carried on will, of course,
depend upon the condition Of the
money market. 1t is our expectation
based up III our financial arrange
ments. to have interurban cars run
ming between Little Rock and Pine
Bluff, the free bridge strengthened.
and efficient Inter-city communities
ton established within two years. II
the franch. Sc rights we are now ask
ing for are promptly granted"
President W. M. Kavanaugh, of
the Little Rock Railway, says: III
the ordinance, as agreed upon be-
tween us today, is passed our COM
pany will accept the same. After
prolonged argument and much urg-
ing'on my rart, get associates, who
have recently acquired the owner
