BOARD OF PUBLIC
 WORKS IS PRAISED
Mayor Also Explains His View on
 Sewer Proposition.

Mayor -Quisley says that he is much gTatif1ed by the way in which the board of public works has hustled through the various street improve 1nents this year and in an interview he called particular attention to the macadamizing of Olive, West, Willow, Washington, Warlock and Ellis streets and then mentioned the fact that North, Church, Stanley, Washington and Whiting streets are to be paved with asphalt on a contract job. In addition to these improvements Bur- ritt street has been graded as we'll as Lincoln, Ellis, South Main and Maple streets and other thoroughfares have been repaired in different ways. Hart ford avenue is soon to be repaired and work of macadarnizing Orange street will start presently. "The board had an enormous amount of work to do this year and has been doing it well," said the mayor.
 Do Work When Needed.
 Continuing, he said: "The working idea of the present board is that if there is work to do do it at once and the sooner the better. The quicker street work which is necessary is done, the cheaper it is.. Suppose the money is spent, that's what it is appropriated fer and the results are what the people want for it.
 By Way of Suggestion.
 Last Saturday the city laid off fifty employees and Monday forty more were laid off. If these conditions continue and the work in the factories con- tinues to fall off I don't know but what it would be an economical thing for the city to do to authorize the expenditure of more money for street work and thereby give these unem- psoyed men work. If the work has got to be done it might as we'll be done at once and thus give the un- fortunate men a source of income. If matters come to such a state the city would either have to adopt some such course or else support these people through the charity department" {" argued his honor.
 Explains His Views.
 Switching from the work of the street department Mayor Quigley com- mented upon the sewer proposition. He said he did not think the com naittee will be able to make a com p1ete report to the council next We'd fnesday as they are going into the mat ter very thoroughly. He then said he thinks many people misunderstood his attitude on the question and think that he wants to rush ahead and blindly spend about $400,000 of the city's money. That is not my idea at alI," he states. tE
 What the mayor advocates is for the city to wait three or four years and then build a new system, profiting by the experiences of other cities in the meantime. If we could fix the pres ent sewer beds up for about $10.000 SO they would serve satisfactorily for three or four years we would be sav ing much money. Roughly speaking, the interest on s400, 900 for year and at 1-2 per cent, is $18,000. Thus if for $10,0 we could fix the beds so they would serve for three or four years we would be saving $S,000 an- r3ually in interest as we'll as the ex- penditure of the S400,000 principal Then when we did make a change we , could have the very best.

POWERS NOT ANXIOUS
 TO GET RESERVISTS
Sailing of French Liner Rochambeau Held Up.-GeT1nany Makes
 Reservists Pay Passage.

New York, Aug. 13.-The indefinite postponement yesterday of the sailing of the French liner Rochambeau, the posting of notices in the French con- sulate that hereafter reservists anxious to join their colors should make application by mail, and the fact that the German consulate is sending over only those reservists who can pay their own passage ap- peared to indicate today that the war ring powers are not over-anxious for assistance from their reservists in this country.
 It also became known today that the German consulate is sending back to various cities all reservists who have come here without funds. Two hundred Germans have obtained pas- sage on the Italian liner Caserta, which leaves tomorrow. They paid for their own passage.
 The halting of the Rochambeau came on orders from the home office of the French line in Paris two hours before she was scheduled to leave this port with 1,5OO passen- gers, 75 per cent. of whom were re- servists. It was stated definitely at the French consulate that there was grave suspicion that German war ships were lying in wait for the Rochambeau along the route she was to take and far out at sea.
 The Belgian bureau announced last night that Belgium did not want any more reservists, principally because of the risk in getting them over and the length of time that it would take to prepare fresh men for the field.
