sion, Wednesday morning. and his du-
ties as purveyor Of general informa-
ton to the people and efficiency ex-
port for various city departments
were prescribed.
Commissioner Ingram. chairman of
the committee which reported out the
bill. championed 1t as q business
proposition, stating that all great cor
porations and many small ones, en-
pioy man to figure costs and esti-
mate improvements, and in various
ways assemble illuminating informa.
ton concerning the way the business
Is run.
The inference was plain that the
new Official Is expected to act "a a
general adviser to the heads OF all the
departments. making his recommen.
dations upon his own abstracts OF
the departmental reports.
Commissioner Guthard, admitting
that he was unable to pronounce the
title OF the "statish-s tats-stastis--the
man who was going TO do this" OBJ

might attempt to exert an influence
over Independent heads IT depart.
ments. This was made more objec-
tionable as a contingency, he said, by
the fact that the new official is to be
responsible to the city clerk and not
to the mayor.
The principal duty OF the statisti-
clan shall be. however, not to advise
on technical matters, but to arrange
comparative tables of figures 90 that
The who votes may read" He is re-
quired to prepare each year a COM
prehensive report OF civic affairs in
general which is to be circulated
among interested citizens. The orig
inal bill provided that this report
should not exceed 5000 words In
length and should be simple and
easily understood" The restrictions
upon its length and intellig1bity were
stricken out
Reports as now issued by all the
departments will be continued but
their form shall be prescribed to .
limited extent by the statistician In
order to keep records uniform and
easy OF comparison.
Commissioner Burton made q per-
sistent effort to kill the proposal, al
though member OF the committee
recommending 1t. He offered a mo-
ton TO reject II when the commission
ers were sitting as a committee and
lost. When the committee of the
whole reported. he demanded q roll
call and was given Ave votes. Guth-
ard, Hacker, Szymanski, Wesch, and
his own, against II.
Commissioner Weedh made one
speech In which he denounced the
whole proposition az q democratic
scheme to spoil the charter 90 It will
be rejected by the people"
