WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Official
government figures made public here
today disclosed that in the face of
rising prices of gasoline, production
of crude petroleum during the last
year was greater than in 1914. al
though production was "purposely
retarded as far as practicable" that
reserve stocks of crude petroleum
now being held in the country are
the largest ever recorded, and that
exports of gasoline, to which the
rise in prices frequently has been
attributed. were in the last 10
months Of 1915 less than the eX-
ports during the corresponding
period of the two years previous.
Both the department Of justice and
the federal trade commission are
preparing to investigate gasoline
prices. A statement issued by the
geological survey estimated the 1915
production Of market petroleum at
267. AGO. 900 barrels, 100000 more
than in 1914
This says the statement. docs

Report for Year Shows That
$4,000 More Was Spent
Than During Previ-
GUS Year.
DECREASES Are SHOWN
BY ALL DEPARTMENTS
Additional Expenses Are
Blamed for Increase =
Spent $4,000 for Re-
lief of Unemployed.

Although practically every depart
ment OF the city government has re-
duced expenses during 1915 over
those of 1914 more money was ex-
pended during the last year than
during the previous II months &C
cording TO a report made by City
Controller u. G. Manning Friday
In making the report Controller
Manning stated that practically $2O.-
600 more had been expended in 1915
than in 1914 but SIT 900 of this had
gone toward paying for investments
in property and for the relief fund
for the unemployed last spring. The
controller stated that the depart
ments. the board of safety. the board
of works. the board Of finance.
amounted during the past year to
approximately S367,OOO.
The statement Of the controller
regarding the expenses of the ad-
ministration follows:
THE various departments Of the
city made a splendid showing for
the year.
THE expenditures of the board Of
safety for 1915 were $141,S13.2S.
which is nearly $4,000 less than last
year.
Provided Relief.
The board of works in addition to
its regular expense for the year was
charged with the disbursement of the
$4,000 relief fund appropriated last
spring to provide employment for
the man out of work
Including the above fund the ex-
penditures OF the board were within
a few dollars the same as last year
The regular expenditures Of the
board were $4,000 less than in 1914.
The engineering department
spent Sf3,191.15 in 1915 as against
$14.499.71 for the previous year
The department Of streets and
alleys expended S31.95174. lowering
its record for the precious year
which was $33,OS3.74. This depart
ment will turn beck about $4,000 of
its appropriation.
The garbage department also
made a saving over the previous year
and will turn back 1921 of its appro-
priation.
The total expenditures OF the
three departments, the board Of
safety. the board of works and the
board of finance are about 1867, 900.
During the year the city has
made the 1916 payment on the city
hall in order to clear up this debt.
The payment amounted to S6.S21.
The Ward Turner tract acquired for
playground purposes has also been
paid for in full, the cost being $13,-
500.
Increased Expenses.
THESE expenditures with the
sum spent for the relief work in
creased the normal city expenditures
about $4,000 but owing TO the saw
ings in the departments the actual
expenditures for the year show no
corresponding increase.
During the year the last $4,000
OF the old street Improvement bonds
we're paid off. This bond issue has
been source of considerable trou-
bic to past administrations but they
are now finally disposed Of.
The city's bonded debt is s525,-
600 This debt will be reduced to

The Mexican Situation

The result of the conference be- tween General Obregon, minister of war of Mexico's de facto government, and General Scott, chief of staff of
 the United States army, and General
 Funston, who is directing the punitive expedition in pursuit of Villa and his bandits, will be awaited by the Ameri-
 can people with much concern.
 It would be difficult to forecast the
 outcome, but one thing is certain and
 that is, the interests of the United
 States are In safe hands. Before Gen.
 eral Scott was advanced to the high position he now holds he had achieved
 distinction as a peacemaker among
 the Indians. No army officer in re-
 cent years has shown greater tact in handling difficult problems than he, and none has been more authoritative in a quiet way. He is admirably poised and with his ripe experience he will be at perfect ease with the
 astute and resourceful Obregon.
 General Funston is past master in military affairs having strenu- ous side. He revels in difficult situa- tions, and yet he keeps cool head, no matter what happens.
 Carranza's de facto government wishes the United States to withdraw it's troops from Mexico. But whether or not they should be withdrawn now will be determined by General Scott's report to the war department.
 Fresh troops have been sent into Mexico to join General Pershing's com mand. The probability is that the United States will keep up it's search for Villa for sometime to come. How ever, all will depend upon what Scott and Funston think about it.
