NO ACCURATE ESTIMATE
OF DEAD POSSIBLE

Rome, Jan. 18.--The uninjured
in the earthquake zone are lending
their aid to the volunteer workers in
an endeav9r to ameliorate the terri
BILE conditions in the ruined towns.
Food supplies and clothing have
been distributed nearly everywhere
and hnts are being constructed for the
temporary housing of the homeless.
Work in the ruins is being carried
forward as speedily as possible. To-
day many persons were rescued alive
in numerous towns from beneath the
debris of fallen buildings where they
had lain without food or water for
six days. Hope is expressed that
many others who are held prisoners
may be reached in time to save them.
Nineteen were taken alive from the
ruins of Avezzano today, six of them
unhurt.
1t is still impossible to state with
accuracy the number of lives lost in
the earthquake or do more than es-
innate the monetary damage. One
unofficial estimate places the proper
ty loss above $60,000,00O Subscrip-
tons for the relief of the sufferers are
being raised throughout Italy and
the people are responding generously
King Victor Emmanuel again has
gone into the stricken region TO rem
der what service he can to the dis
tressed people. Queen Helena today
sent trainload Of foodstuffs, cloth
ing and medical supplies to the peo-
pie in the ruined towns. Members of
the royal family high officials and
leading legislators are busily engaged
In relief work
Thomas Nelson Page, the Ameri- |
can ambassador. was among those
who Went TO the earthquake region
today to distribute relief stores to the 4,
destitute.
At Avez2ano all the dogs in the |
town have been killed because they |
have been prowling in the debris I,
among the bodies of the dead. Al
several places wolves have come down |
out of the mountains and parties have |
been formed to hunt down and exter. |
inmate them.

Stanley Quarter Park It Is.

It was suggested that the North End park be called Gaffney park be- cause Judge Gaffney was born near | it. The judge declined to take the suggestion seriously and agreed with MT. Brooks that it should be called stanley Quarter park. This was adopted as the official name.
 on motion of the comptroller the sum of S40O was transferred from the Incidental account to gas, light and heating. With this fund, by which all the city gas bills are punched Comptroller Curtis finds he can save $40 or $50 a year.
 Special Appropriations.
 Special appropriations were taken up. They are: New Britain Institute $12,5o0; hospital, $2,0OO: Stanley Post, G. A. R.. $50; police pension fund, $l,350; firemen's pension fund. $1,00o; cemetery committee. l. 900; city building fund. s3,50O: pub- lie amusement commission. s279o. Walnut Hill park commission. s14- 900; state tax, 45,O00 and military tax, $7,5OO.
 The Institute estimate was cut s1 900 on motion of Mir. Abbe.
 The cemetery commission esti,,,o.o
 
 was reduced to a, zero as if wac ag ured out as unnecessary.
 The city building fund was loft .t s3,5oo, although the commission asked for S3SOO.
 Social Center Eliminated.
 City Treasurer Chamberlain was in Ia or or cutting out the social center asked for by the public amusement commission, making the appropria- tion $3,250. On motion of MT. Hum phrey 1t was reduced to $3,0OO.
 The Walnut Hill park fund was cut S6T00. For Stanley Quarter park $250 was allowed. State tax was boosted to $4S.000, Treasurer Cham berlain saying this was necessary. Military tax was increased to $7,100 and county tax of $12.00O, which was not anticipated, was voted. An emergency fund of $6,0OO, in control of the board to substitute for an incidental fund, was decided on. The total of special appropriations is S102,150, which is a reduction in | comparison to last years S90.22o. l when the county tax is taken into | consideration. Under interest and discount sSS.- 416.25 was voted and payment on | principals was fixed at S70,000
 Salaries Lower Than Estimated
