FINANCE COMMITTEE
TURNS DOWN FARM
Sends All Papers Back to Broad and
Directs Attention TO Original
Resolution.

The Finance Committee of Council
a, Its meeting yesterday afternoon
called to consider the purchase of the
Newstead property at s75.500 for a city
farm. voted that the matter be referred
back to the Administrative Board for
action according to the original reso-
luton that Pine Camp be sold. and the
proceeds used in the purchase of a
city farm.
There is strong opposition on the
part of some of the members to SELL
ing Pine Camp. A number OF them
are likewise opposed to paying 37s,-
500 for city farm. declaring that II
is excessive. The Newstead property
has been strongly recommended by
public officers, and the Public Build
ings and Utilities Committee OF the
Council.
Opponents to the proposition claim
that the property under consideration
is far too costly, and its operation
would be a heavy expense. hence the
original cost should be cut down as
much as possible.

Charles F. Hughes, whose political
career is founded upon his investiga-
ton OF the insurance companies of
New York, tonight forcibly expressed
{his desire in winding up a renewed
charge that the Wilson administration
has used public office for political
purposes.
1T is scandaious," the Republican
nominee shouted huskily.
Winding up the first day into the
agricultural Northwest, Hughes re-
sumed his pounding Of Mr. Wilson
and his administration for allNyed
incompetency. Earlier in the day at
Grand Forks he addressed another
meeting composed largely of farmers
at which ne discussed agriculture
tariff and preparedness.
At this meeting, as again tonight
preparedness was accorded but mild
applause, the demand for a restora-
ton of a protective tariff sounding
the issue closest, apparently. to the
hearts of the Northwest. At the same
time there was hearty appreciation
at both meetings and throughout the
entire day OF his promise of Arm in
sistence upon respect for national
honor and prestige.

night, in opening his address, "Ameri-

said:
