ENCEL SURE OF
ANOTHER Term
Mayor Marx Will Re-AppOint
Controller, Who Has Made
Good Record

George Engel. whose term as city
controller expires June 80. is not
worrying about re-appointment
Mayor Marx and others interested In
the city's business consider Engel
about the best controller Detroit
has ever had. without casting any
reflections on the ability Of former
incumbents of that Office.
Through the efforts of Controller
Engel the work in his office has
Leen recognized to large extent
during the past three years. He IS
an experienced accountant himself,
and he has systematized the city's
accounting methods. II is due 10
his foresight that the city has been
able TO keep its interest rate be
low four per cent, the last issues OF
bonds selling at n premium. lie
worked out a theory in connection
with the annual allowance for the
sinking fund which means saving
% at least 100000 from the amount
TO go on the direct tax levy.
In the telephone investigation,
Controller Engel is working with
Corporation Counsel Dingeman to
prevent the telephone company from
collecting a higher rate from the
subscribers, If that is possible. His
work with the council committees,
this year, was largely responsible
ior the slender budget which the
aldermen transmitted 10 the council.
You can say for me that George
Engel will be re-appointed al the
expiration OF his present term. =

Aid to the victims OF Inscriptions
SPECTATORS is being given by the
legal aid bureau of the bar associa-
ton OF Detroit. according to the re-
port OF Edward Pokorny. attorney
for the bureau, read Tuesday In the
annual meeting OF the association in
the supervisors room.
Citing a typical case, his report
tells OF poor crippled woman who
had saved mp S2s and had been in
duced by a clever real estate adver-
tisement and the representations OF
the agent to put II In a lot. With
small monthly installments still
hanging over her head, she looked
up the location OF the lot one day
and found that II was situated about
a mile from the point where she
had been told IL was located.
She demanded the return of her
money. Meeting with a refusal she
came TO the legal aid bureau The
attorney for the bureau which gives
gratuitous services in such cases
took the matter up with the agent.
The agent strenuously insisted that
the woman knew all about the loca-
ton OF the lot. refused TO return her
money and said that he would fight
the case through the court. But
when a suit was instituted by the
legal aid bureau, the real estate PEG
pie made settlement within "a
hours and the woman received her
money.

GASOLINE INQUIRY
 IS COMPLETED
Throughout Hearing, Standard Oil Was Target for Independ- ent JObbers, Who Charged Fixing of Prices.

Washington, June 13.-The federal trade commission today concluded its investigation of the rise of gasoline prices, ending a two days final hear ing after representatives of Standard Oil and independent companies had given divergent testimony. A report based on the hearings and weeks of investigation will be made public soon, and will be transmitted to con- gress in response to a resolution ask ing for an inquiry.
 The independent jobbers and re- liners who appeared today and yester- day were virtually unanimous in plac- ing responsibility for the increases on the Standard Oil Companies, who they charged, had refused to compete and who fixed prices.
 Standard Oil representatives re- piled to the charges, but did not enter into an explanation of the element behind the soaring cost of gasoline to consumers. Generalization of the in dustry, jobbers declared, had resulted from the failure of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana to compete with the Standard Oil Company of Ohio, which, by maintaining q retail price several cents higher than that fixed in the west by the Indiana company, attracted the crude oil from the Texas and Oklahoma refiners.
 Western dealers who said they were forced to sell at the low figure fixed by the Indiana company charged they were being put out of business by inability to get oil.
