CHILD HYGIENE RESTS
ON THE LOAN BILLS
Mayor Smith Impresses Wom-
ems Delegation With I'M
portance of Election

Mayor Smith today made another plea
for the passage of the loan bills to a dele.
CATION representing the federated womens
organizations of the city, who called on
the Mayor to ask his influence in obtain
ing an appropriation of $4,000 for the
operation of the Division of Child Hygiene.
The Mayor urged the women to work for
the passage of the loan bills and told them
that the granting of the $4,000 depended
solely on the passage of the measures.
He added that an increase in the tax rate
would surely follow the rejection of the
loan bills by the voters.
II am thoroughly acquainted with this
chld-saving program" he said, after re-
ferring to his own family, "and | will do
all can to obtain the needed money for
you, but l say to you frankly that it will
not be possible unless the loan bills pass.
The tax rate of the city will be greatly
increased If the bills do not pass, You
can help to get the $4,000 by helping to
pass the loan bills that designing polit-
clans are opposing. Disregard political
factions and help us get the money we
need so badly.
"I was a politician once, but was not
of these kinds Philadelphia is big and
can only be made bigger by the passage
OF the bills. This city will be sidetracked
for the next 10 years unless these loan
bills pass. All real Philadelphians should
get back of the loans. 1 cannot promise
anything unless the bills pass"
The petition asking for the $4,000 ap-
preparation was presented by Mrs Albert
Smith. chairman Of the delegation Mrs.
B. F, Richardson, former president of the
Philomusian Club, which originated the
idea, headed the delegation. Speeches
