commissioners, road district number
two was abolished, and the territory
formerly included in it was divided be-
districts SO lat Potlatch, and district

maximum levy of two and half mills
was not sufficient to maintain the roads
in reasonably good condition.

BIG EXPORT DEMAND
FOR STEEL REPORTED
Trade Publications Optimistic
Over the Outlook.

Foreign inquiries for steel products
continue large. according to steel trade
publications, and with heavy tonnage
of export sales reported the position OF
the steel works is being materially
strengthened. At present there are IN
dications that another buying move
ment in finished shells and she'll steel
is impending. Railroad supplies are
being purchased freely and foreign con-
sumers also continue TO place liberal
orders for pig iron in this country,
while the domestic market IS hating.
"The Iron Age" will say: The IN.
cressing tonnage Of export sales and OF
foreign inquiry overhanging the steel
market is strengthening the position
of the steel works in respect to this
years deliveries. Most domestic con-
sumers, having bought what they VIII
require in the next four or five months,
are not actively competing Tor steer
with foreign buyers, as they were
earlier in the year. But with light home
buying each week is increasing the
proportion Of export steel on the
makers books, and the question OF the
amount available for home use IN the
first quarter Of 1917 will soon be of
live interest.
"The week has brought out fresh
instalment Of foreign requirements, IN
which 100000 tons of shell steel for
France is prominent, and about 10000
tons of 6-inch to l2-inch beams, TO be
shipped at the rate of 5000 tons
month through this year. Russia has
made some redistribution of barb wire
business, by which $4,000 tons go to
three independent makers. A Russian
spike purchase of $4,000 kegs is pend
ing There is also active inquiry from
Canada for shell steel, and it is known
that Great Britain is still seeking 70
place 6-inch to 12-inch shells and the
steel for them, with deliveries extend
ing to April. Russia is expected to
place large car orders in this country
and Canada, and has just bought from
two American makers $4,000 axles, with
cast iron wheels mounted, for repair
purposes" 80,
"The Iron Trade Review" says: New
business in the steel trade continues
to be regulated largely by the ability
of the producers TO make delivery salts
factory to the buyers, which, in turn, Is
purely question of ingot capacity
With many mills now making ship
ments in six months or more from date
domestic users, especially in lines not
related to war needs are more de-
liberate in buying at current high
prices"

Bureau of City Inquiry
AssaiIs Appraisal of
DreamIand.
SELECTION OF RAE
UNDER CRITICISM
Said to Have Acted for Reyn.
olds, Although Employed :
by the City.

The Bureau Of City Inquiry, an or
ganization politically opposed to the
Mitchell administration. issued state
ment yesterday through William Bull
lock. It's director, sharply criticising
Controller Prendergast. The criticism
is made in connection with the APP
praisal of the property owned''by for
mer Senator William II. Reynolds, in
the Dreamland tract at Coney Island,
acquired by the city for public park,
and other Reynolds property in South
Brooklyn being acquired by the city
for freight classification yard in con-
nection with the South Brooklyn Mar
ginal Railroad.
The Bullock statement purports 70
make its deductions from the records
Of the testimony taken at the hearings
before commissioners OF estimate and
appraisal The taking Of testimony in
condemnation proceedings in regard 70
the South Brooklyn property has been
completed, and the award blythe com
missioners. Stephen c. Baldwin, Will
lam p Moffat and Edward F. Linton. Is
expected within a few weeks.
The statement cites testimony 70
show that Controller Prendergast per
sonally selected" william P. Rae, Of
Brooklyn, TO appraise both the South
Brooklyn and Dreamland holdings OF
Reynolds. TO guide the Controller in
negotiations for the purchase OF both
properties.
Rae admitted on cross-examination
by Assistant Corporation Counsel La
Motto, according TO the statement, that
he had been an appraiser on several oc-
casons for Reynolds, and IN one In
stance had appraised property owned
by Reynolds adjoining the South Brook
lyn land now being acquired by the
city and which Reynolds had sold 10
the state for barge canal terminal.
"The testimony, in brief. establishes
three points. as follows" the statement
points out:
81. That Rae is a Reynolds appraiser:
2. That Controller Prendergast hired
Rae 70 appraise the price the city
should pay for Dreamland, owned by
REYNOLDS. 3. That Controller PreDder-
gast arranged with Reynolds's Dream
land corporation TO pay Rae for sp-
praising Dreamland for the city"
The statement declares that Rae APP
peared at the recent hearings on the
South Brooklyn property as the chief
witness for Reynolds. The unexpected
appearance of Rae as Reynolds wit
ness, and his use Of the figures he had
compiled when employed by the city,
led TO a searching cross-examinstlon by
Assistant Corporation Counsel La
| Motto.
Mr.. La Motto and other assistants in
( the Office of the Corporation Counsel
who appeared for the city at these
hearings before the commissioners Of
appraisal were examined before the
Thompson legislative committee. Parts
of the record of the testimony were put
in evidence BY the committee to show
that Rae had been employed both for
and against the city in these matters.
