BUDGET CRITICS
To SEEK MORE
COIN T0SPEND
Skeptics Believe Sheet Does Not
Garry All the Money That Could
Be Scraped, Up.

Skeptics on the wisdom of the bud
get prepared by the Council Finance
committee will begin diligent work
Monday afternoon to find more mon
~ with which to provide additional
improvements for Atlanta Some
members of Council are confident they
will find a considerable sum.
Owing TO the secrecy with which
The Finance Committee prepared the
budget, the critical officials have not
been able to learn just how the COM
mittee arrived at its estimate of the
citv's resources. There are various
ways of making up the income side of
the budget-just as many, in fact, as
mere are of spending it.
The majority of, the members OF
council who are not on the Finance
committee know they are not salts
fed with the results, and an informal
announcement has been made that q
raucus will be held to look into how
those results were obtained.
Mayor Almost, Shocked.
Mayor Woodward, Chairman W. G..
Humphrey, of the Finance Committee,
and the other members of the COM
mittee are almost shocked that any
one should be skeptical about the
budget Chairman Humphrey said:
we devoted practically every min
Ute of our time for a whole week to
that budget. 1t is good sheet. If
people don't appreciate our time and
Efforts, they'll just have to be unap-
preciative"
The reply of the Councilmen who
are contemplating a caucus is that
they want to be shown what was done
and how it was done before they
make up their minds. If the Finance
Committee has done the best it could
with the money available, the Coun-
rilmen say they will ask no more.
Seek Hospital Additions.
Alderman John S. Gambler and 9TH
er officials of the Grady Hospital are
very determined to have a nurses
Gormitory and an outdoor clinic for
nat institution. Alderman Gambler
has made no announcement of his
plans further than to say that the
budget is very disappointing.
He twice has been chairman OF the
Finance Committee, and no one knows
better than he just what the city can
afford, and his policy was never to
hold back any money.
Mayor Woodward and the members
Of the Finance Committee assert that
The budget Is conservative. The dis
appointed Councilmen have turned to
Alderman Gambler to meet the emer-
gency. 1t practically is in the hands
Of Alderman Gambler to decide wheth-
er there will be a real fight on the
budget
When the budget reaches Council
Monday afternoon copies will be or
dered furnished each member of
Council and the meeting adjourned
for several days, it was made known
Monday. 1t seems sure that a caucus
viii be called to decide what further
action will be taken.

An examination of recent records, TAX
ing the school attendance as a standard,
| demonstrates the strange fact that it
would have been cheaper to send our
school children to a university and paw
all their expenses there than to maintain
at our present expenditure the school
houses in this township.
In spite of crowded homes, impure
city air, lack of recreation facilities and
the poverty into which he is usually
| born, the city child makes a better show
ing than the country child, because of
the multitudes of benefits which have
have been bestowed on him by the pro-
gress of science and the steady advance
of civic codes, enlightenment and respon-
sibility. We have grown up with the
notion that the school children in the
country were bound to be much healthier
than the children of the cities Our
parents always credited the little I'M
painted school house for their excellent
constitutions. We are now beginning to
have our doubts about those unqualified
benefits, which the work of the Joint
committee of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION and the National Educational
Association emphasizes.

TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1914

AssEMBLYMAN BAKER has written a
letter in which he denounced Governor
Fielder in very decided terms. The
Governor, after the first surprise caused
by the letter, decided that it was more
to be laughed at than to get angry over.
Governor Fielder says he thought Mr..
Baker was at one time his friend but has
found that he was secretly my enemy. y
The discovery of the Governor is similar
to that of other persons. Men are to be
found who to your face profess profound
friendship, who will seek your presence,
accept your Inequalities, large or small,
but who will not hesitate, to gain their
own ends, to become sneaks and liars
and stab you in the back. Fortunately
this class of human beings-they can
not be called mems comparatively
small and If you carefully scan their
past life you will see that, as adults,
they are simply bringing out character
istics that were noticeable in them as
youngsters, 1t hurts, sometimes, to
think that such people deceive you but
the sting is removed by the satisfaction
gained in discovering their sneaking
tactics and having them appear in their
true light.

Political Notes.

Hon. Emerson l.. Richards, member
of the Assembly from Atlantic county,
has written to The News announcing
his candidacy for member of Congress
in the Second Congressional District, on
the Republican ticket. Senator White
has also announced that he will be a
candidate for the same office and it is
said that former Senator Lewis NAV get
into the contest. On this latter point
we are not able to speak with authority.
Senator Lewis went to Cuba some time
since and we have not been able to learn
whether he has returned to Burlington.
tie will probably make his intentions
known as soon as he gets home.
The Democratic dinner at Burlington
tuesday evening was attended by many
prominent members of the party as well
as by some of the lesser lights. Every
thing passed off pleasantly and Dick
Hughes acquitted himself with credit as
POSTMASTER. We said last week it would
be worth the price of admission to wit
ness that one portion of the event and
that seems to have been true as nobody
asked to have his money returned.
Richard was in a very happy frame of
mind, possibly as much over the arrival
of little daughter that morning as over
the other events. At any rate he received
many congratulations over all the affairs
of the day.

Along the Shore.

Mrs. Angelina Gravatt, widow of
former Sheriff Gravatt, of Toms River,
died on April 25th at the home of her
daughter in Atlantic City. She was 103
years of age.
The Manhasset and Hiawatha hotels
at Seaside Park will be managed again
this year by Wilkinson Brothers, of Bal
timore. The firstinamed will be opened
June 9th, the Hiawatha on May Both.
Lamb and Eldridge, the new owners
of the Beach Haven house, have been
making extensive alterations and inn
provements to the property. When
completed the place will be in first-class
condition. The building is also to be
entirely refurnished in an up-to-date
manner. The furniture that was in the
hotel will be sold at public sale on the
premises on May 9th.
About two-thirds of the voters of Toms
River voted on Tuesday on the question
of changing the form of government of
that place from township to borough.
The change was defeated by a vote OF
100 to IS. For over quarter of CEN
fury there has been talk of having a
borough form of government, and the
question is now settled for possibly a
well governed by township committee
and the voters feared change would
not improve matters, particularly the
tax rate.
The big steamer Frederick of the
Austro-Americana line, went ashore off
Harvey Cedars during the heavy fog on
Tuesday morning. She was loaded with
5000 tons of raw sugar from Cienfuegos,
Cuba, to New York, with crew of q
men under Captain Suttora. The steam
er was lightened by casting cargo over
board, and in a few hours the shore was
lined with bags of sugar, many of which
were taken by residents of that neigh
borhood. The cutter Mohawk and the
wrecking steamer Forward spent many
hours in efforts to drag the ship to deep
water, which was accomplished on Fri
day.
The funeral of James Baird took place
at Beach Haven on Thursday. Services
were held at the Church of the Holy In
nocents, after which special train con-
veyed the funeral party to Philadelphia,
where lnterment was made in West
Laurel Hill cemetery. Mr.. Baird was 70
years of age. He was one of the men
who began the development of Beach
Haven many years ago. He owned the
hotel Baldwin at the time of his death,
and was heavy stakeholder in the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, Philadel-
phia. He was stakeholder of the Long
Beach Turnpike Company, member Of
the New York and Larchmont Yacht
Clubs, and member of the Society OF
the War of 1872. Mr.. Baird had been an
extensive traveller. 1t is estimated that
he crossed the Atlantic ocean over lbs
times. About six weeks ago he was
stricken while on ferryboat at Phila-
delphia. His widow and two sons, w.
Mercer and Charles I. p. Baird survive
him.

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE
The present moment, tense as it is
with the news of battle and the spirit of
patriotism, makes the great revival of
Soldiers of Fortune" which the Or
pheum Management announces for this
week, at b. +. Keith's Chestnut Street
Opera House, the most timely play that
could be selected from the great body of
American dramatic literature. Repro
duced on the stage in this gripping melo-
drama, we find almost the same condi-
tions which the author, Richard Hard
ing Davis, is now reporting to the public
as war correspondent at the front with
our troops in Mexico. Briefly told, the
"Soldiers of Fortune deals with the
adventures of Henry Clay, an American
civil engineer in charge of large min
ing enterprise backed by New York
capitalist. The scenes are laid in an
imaginary republic and at the opening
of the story we find Langham. the New
York capitalist and his two daughters
visiting the mining camp where CLAY
and Langham's son, Teddy, are busily
engaged in developing the eartI's re-
sources. At about this time serious
trouble is brewing in the small republic
A revolution is threatening against the
president. The leader of the opposing
party is the general of the army. He
informs Clay that the principal cause
for dissension is due to the valuable
concessions made to Langham's COM
-pany and intimates that he could adjust
the trouble for monetary considera-
ton. Clay is quick to see that there is
nothing more than bold attempt at
holdup and he promptly blocks the
generals game. He tells him that not
only will he decline to pay out one cent
but he will rally his forces to the aid of
the government. This declaration leads
to open war and hostilities begin at
once. Stirring scenes follow rapidly
upon one another and the action as
sumes the most dramatic hue.
