number of fatalities. The record in
the anthracite region is the best since
1902 and in the bituminous region
since 1897. In the anthracite region
there were 500 fatalities, or 3.32 per
1000 employees, as against 624, or 3.56
per 1000 employees, in 1918, a de-
crease of 1886 per cent. In the btu
minous region there were 413, or 2.11
per 1000 employees, as against Gil, or
1922 per 1000 employees, a decrease of
32 per cent.
THE production per life lost in the
anthracite region was 49, 982 tons and
has never been equaled since the first
anthracite law was enacted in 1870.
The nearest record was in 1913, when
146,S3S tons were produced. The pro-
duction per life lost in the bituminous
region was 353, ,231, as against 2S3, ,0S6
tons in 1918. This record has been
equaled only four times in forty years,

 Big Cut in Pavement.
 Mir. Humphrey stated that S23,- 316.25 was absolutely necessary for semi-permanent pavement. Tho streets that need 1t are Arch, Chest nut, Stanley and Dwight streets. The item was cut to s7,230 to care for Chestnut Stanley and Dwight streets.
 The macadam repair estimate was boosted back to s5.000 on account of this reduction. Bituminous pavement repairs, s1,500, was allowed to stand as was repairs to tools s400. Other items not cut were storehouse and yard, s200. and permanent pavement repairs, s1,000. The snow and ice item, s3,000, was cut 10 $2,500. No cuts were made in office expenses. s.50; street signs, $500; and auto and maintenance, s1.325. Tools (new) was cut from 32.s0o to $500. Trees. care and spraying, $1,500, was not reduced. Waste cans, s200, came through unscathed. oil for streets. $1.000, was lucky too. Care of dumps. 5000 was untouched. as was Christmas tree, s75, and railings, new and re- pair, $z0V.
 Althogether s26.14e.25 was lopped off the street estimates.
 No reduction was made in catch basins, $2,0o0, or state highway ac- count, s7.500. Paving of Bigelow street, was s1,a00, was clipped to sl ,0o0. Purchase of storeyard, sS,0o0, was submarined.

He spoke of the Lee street play ground in particular, where he said, the minds of the small boys are poisoned by older youths who teach them to swear by note.'' He was in favor of having them policed.
 Chairman Prior said he would in- vestigate this summer.
 The Axe Dcsccnds.
 Discussion of the estimates was opened by Treasurer Chamberlain. He said it was understood that when the board of public works was given extra appropriations amounting to s44,000 that sum would be deducted from the 1915-16 appropriation. The department spent $26,000 of this $44,00O.
 MT. Humphrey, who is president of the public works commission, replyed that there was a certain amount or crk to be done anyway.
 I'm not going to say that you've got to give us this money but if you don't it will mean simply that some work cannot be done" he said.
 The public works board asks for s1os,124.25 for streets.
 It was decided to cut the estimate for bridges for which ss,250 was asked The sum to be paid the New Haven road as the city's share for the Corbin avenue bridge was shelved. The bridge appropriation was made s2,75O. It Is not likely that the Monroe street bridge will be built next year. s=-.. -..#.
 It was agreed that no cuts could be made in street cleaning, $15, 5,000; cleaning basins, $3.700; building and repairing crosswalks, $500; engineers expenses, $400; and cinder walks and crosswalks, $200.
 General repairs to streets was boiled from s4,O00 to $3,000.
 Mir. Humphrey asked that the esti- mate for grading. $s.375, be left in- tact He said there is a great deal was granted.
 Treasurer Chamberlain moved to cut the new macadam estimate, $24,- s73, to s12,000.
 That's ridiculous, said Mir. Humphrey.
 "It's little bitrash," agreed Mayor Quigley, who suggested that the item be passed for the time being.
 Mir. Meehan wanted it madc SIS, 1000.
 On motion of Mir. Abbe the item was passed.
