BOARD SAVES s17,142 BY
BUYING CEMENT IN SACKS
Economy Follows Order Discontinue
ing Purchase In Wooden
Barrels.
GETS 10 CENTS FOR EACH BAG
Credits Received by City for Return
OF -Four Empty Sacks on Each
Barrel of Cement Materially Re-
duCe Price OF Product.

During the twelve months between
January l. 1914 and January I. 1915, the
Administrative Board, through the in
PRODUCTION OF economies In the matter
Of buying cement, saved tho city ST.
1890
The saving arose from the boards
order that all cement used by the city
shall be bought In sacks instead Of bar
rels. the practice that had for years
been followed by the Engineering Dc
partmcnt. The cement is packed four
sacks to the barrel.
In the past twelve months the city
has bought 45,S44 barrels of cement
all OF II from c. Il. Lathrop * Co, whose
bid. Sl.62, was the lowest that was re-
Ceivcd. In communication to the
board yesterday the company notifies 1t
that credit has been given the city for
the return Of i7l.i23 empty sacks at 10
cents each, involving Il total credit Of
S17.li2.30.
Before the board became the city's
purchasing agent, all cement upon the
recommendation of City Engineer Boil
ing, was bought in wooden barrels
The barrels were not redecmahlc. In
stead of being an asset to the city they
necessary to collect and dispose of
them.
PRICE THE SAME
IN SACKS OR BARRELS
Quotations for cement in barrels and
sacks, according to the Administrative
Board, are the same. The city gets en-
actly the same amount of material in
both packages, with the advantage that
the Quarter-harrel sack Is much easier
to handle and haul
The requirement that all cement pur-
chased by the city shall come in sacks
has meant, therefore. that instead OF
paying sligo n barrel for this material,
the city, after the returned sacks are
credited, allowing for the sacks that
are torn or Destroyed 1T pays about
Sl.i5 n barrel
The supply company compliments the
City Engineering Department and its
inspectors in charge for the care cx-
ercis"d In preserving and returning the
sacks In good order. The city's total
loss In bags during the last twelve
months was not more than or ) per
cent, ms compared with tho average Is
and 20 per cent losses reported by pri-
waite contractors

MEXICO'S DARK HORSE

Manuel Vasquez Tagle seems to
be the dark horse" in the contest OF
the presidency OF Mexico. and there
are many who believe he Is one of the
few men who can save that distracted
country
The name Of Tagle disappeared
from publications on current Mexican
affairs when Victoriano Huerta leaped
over the back of Pedro Lascurain into
the presidency or the dictatorship.
Tagle had been minister of justice un-
der Francisco Madero and he not only
refused to accept Office under Huerta,
but he declined to take the man by
the hand. Yet the man lived there
after in Mexico City, walked the
streets, went to the theater, enter
tanned his friends at his home and was
not harmed.
He has lived in Mexico City ever
since and no one else has harmed him
or tried to harm him, whether he be
Zapata, Villa, Carranza or what not.

ANSBERRY WAS SILENCED

Representative Timothy Ansberry
Of Ohio is q talker whose voice pene-
trates to the deepest recesses Of the
capitol, and when he speaks the roof
reverberates with his booming. A
whisper from Ansberry is equivalent
to an ordinary mans talking. so the
feat OF telling joke in an undertone
Is one which he will be obliged in fu-
ture to deny himself.
One day Ansberry was telling a
good story to fellow-member in

jim MANN, KING OF DETAIL

James r. Mann, the Republican
floor leader, is the King OF Detail.
Nothing is too small or too numerous
for him to know all about. Ask Mann

priation bill seventeen years ago and
no doubt he could tell you without
pausing to move an eye-winker. II is
almost safe to say that he can skin
