.CENSURE POLICE
UNIFORM CONTRACT
Commissioners Declare No
Evidence of Wrongdoing
Unearthed in Inquiry.

CharacteriZing the methods of the
police department in awarding con.
tracts for uniforms as deserving of Sc.
we're censure, but stating that no evi.
dence of wrongdoing was discovered
the District Commissioners today made
public the results of the recent investi-
cation into the practices of the de-
partment in uniform buying.
The statement was issued following
adoption by the Commissioners at q
! board session of two new regulations
one r the police department and one
for the fire department, which will
govern the awarding of uniform con-
tracts in the future.
Under these regulations the police
and fire department heads will enter
into contracts only with such firms as
may be designated by the Commission
ers.
Joint Board Ordered.
1t also was decided to create a Joint
board, consisting Of the purchasing Of
f1cer as chairman and one officer and one
private each from the police and fire de-
partments. which shall prepare the uni
form specifications and advertise for bids.
The COMMITTEES which was appointed sew
eral weeks ago to investigate the charge
that contracts for the purchase of police
mems uniforms were being awarded prac-
tically upon a non-competitive basis con-
sisted of Capt. R. G. Powell, assistant on
gineer commissioner Daniel J. Donovan,
deputy auditor. and r. J. Whiteford, as
sistant corporation counsel The commit
tees report, together with testimony
taken, filled 600 pages of manuscript,
Commissioner Brownlow; who has su-
pervision over the police department, has
given careful study to the findings of the
committee, and today's action of the board
was based upon his recommendations.
The Commissioners report in part is
as follows:
In substance, the committee finds
that the whole matter of the purchase
OF uniforms in the two departments
was conducted in an unbusinesslike
manner. AS the contract for uniforms
in the fire department did not bind the
f1remen to purchase from the contrac-
tor, but little Importance attached to
that feature of the investigation. AS a
matter of fact, the report of the inves-
tigating committee shows that only
about 35 per cent of the membership
Of the fire department purchase their
uniforms and caps from the depart
ment's contractor.

to the worlds condemnation OF Gen.
Huerta's career in Mexico,
"A Kind Man. :
"Huerta? Why, he wouldn't kill q

ever met. Since taking his home in
Barcelona he has given freely to char

he is enc of the most honored men in
Spain today, His two daughters have
married wealthy Spanish mobiles and
he is content to live the rest of his
life in Spain where he can be happy.
His wonderful powers of conversation
have drawn around him a circle OF
warm friends. His only hobby in his
quiet life is to play dominoes.'

but what about the accusation that
Huerta caused the murder of Fran.

Likewise the franc is now equivalent

BEAUTIFYING A R E
Michigan Avenue Of Chicago to Be
Widened and Extended.

~
Widened and Extended.
World famous thoroughfares - like
the Champs Elysees, Paris; Inter den
Linden. Berlin; Ringstrasse, Vienna:
Piccadilly. London, and Fifth avenue,
New York city-do as much perhaps
to lure travellers from the uttermost
parts Of the world to their respective
cities as any other single object of in
terest in them, writes Walter d. Moo
dy. managing director, Chicago plan
commission, in the American City.
Perhaps the most spectacular and
most needed street improvement eve
undertaken in Il large city is the Chi
cago Michigan ven extension, APP
proved by the people at the Nov. 3
election and which will cost So, 900:
1t is likely that Chicago today in its
fascinating mile section of Michigan
avenue skirting the lake front and
coursing the heart of the city possesses
the most splendid business thorough
fare in the world. This is not only
true because of the magnificent facade
Of the palatial buildings. but also on
account of the fine perspective afforded
by the great open space just opposite
in Grant park.
The widening and extension of Mich
igan avenue is to be on the two level
plan, the river to be crossed by a dou-
BILE deck bascule bridge. This man.
moth bridge, the first of its kind to be
constructed anywhere, will have a span
Of 21O feet and a width of ninety feet.
Light traffic will take the upper deck
and heavy traffic the lower.
The two level extension of Michigan
avenue Is proposed solely for the pur-
pose Of separating the north aud south
from the east. and west traffic. North
and south approaches to the upper
level will be on so slight a grade as to
make the elevation almost impercepti-
BILE.
The significance Of the Michigaa ave-
nue. improvements in the plan IT Chi
cago is best seen In the fact that it
forms the eastern boundary Of the
Quadrangle" in the plan. This quad
rangle' is bounded on the north by
Chicago avenue, on the west by Canal
street and ON the south by Twelfth
street. These four streets are destined
to bear the heaviest trafac Of any four
streets In Chicago. The development
Of the Quadrangle" will complete the
foundation Of the street circulatory
system in the plan Of Chicago. No
Improvement is needed In Chicago ave-
nue. That thoroughfare is low 100
feet wide. e
