HEALTH BOARD PRESSES
RESTAURANT CAMPAIGN
Rating Cards Ready When Re-
inspection Work Is Finished.

Absolute censorship on the publica-
tion of discoveries made By inspectors
in the better restaurant campaign was
still in force at the Health Depart
ment yesterday. officials denied, how
ever, that this indicated a slackening
in the departments efforts to bring
about improved conditions.
1.-THE reinspections on which the
good, fair or bad ratings Of all kinds
of eating places will be based are be-
ing pushed" said DR.. Charles F. Boil
duan, director Of the Budeau Of Pub
lie Health Education. Figures as 70
results will soon be available for pub
lication, but no more figures based on
initial inspections will lie given out
Cards of rating have not yet been
issued and will not be ready for sew
eral days. Moreover, comparatively
few of the 5000 eating places in the
city have yet been inspected. Under
the new policy Of the department, no
ratings are given except 20 good
restaurants until proprietors are no
titled of the ways in which they fail
to meet the proper standards. Time
to improve their grade is allowed, and
reinspections on which the ratings
are based are then made.

The citys unprecedented prosperity,

John J. Horrigan, q boss plumber Of
Yonkers. had several friends out for a
ride in his big new automobile night

body was in sight ,as he scooped up
sand in his helmet and put out the
blaze. Just as he was preparing 70 go

200 MORE POLICE
ASKED BY WOODS
Budget Raised $5OO,OOO to
Get Needed Men and In
crease Officers Pay.

Provision for $50 additional patrol
men and fifty additional sergeants is
made in the Police Department budget
for 1917, now nearly ready for submis-
sion to the Board Of Estimate. The
budget Is increased by about S500,000
most Of which is to provide salaries
for the new men.
Enough men are needed, Commits
s.oner Woods thinks, to bring the force
to the number allowed by law. There
has been no increase in three years
Decreases in the budget In the last
two years have made II necessary to
Gerry 200 vacancies when police work
has been increasing In addition to
those entailed by the growth OF the
city there are new burdens resulting
from the increase in street traffic. I'm
proved business conditions and the
great amount OF shipping due TO the
war in Europe have increased the num-
Der OF pleasure automobiles on the
streets and the volume of trucking.
War conditions also have put more

signed to detecting bomb plotters
New York, Mr. Woods says, has fewer
policemen in proportion 10 its popula-
tion than other large cities Of the coun-
try.
Salary increases for inspectors and
captains are also asked. The inspect
ors' salaries have been the same
$500 for fifty years, and the cap
tains' have not been increased from
$3.50 in thirty years. 1t is proposed
TO give inspectors S4,25O and captains
$500. Commissioner Woods also
wants the chief inspectors salary
raised from $4,000 to $500 and the
borough inspectors from $4,000 to
$4,000. The borough inspector 10 In

One hundred and thrty-hvs thousand
dollars Of the budget increase Is neces-
eary, Mr.. Woods says. to pay msnds-
tory increases In the salaries OF patrol
men. Other increases are due to the
increased cost OF supplies.

CITY AND DEFENDANTS
DIVIDE l3-YEAR SUIT
Action Against Consolidated Co.
Decided by Referees.

Decision upon a suit begun thirteen
years ago by the city against the
Consolidated Telegraph and Electrical
Subway Company has been given part
ly in favor of the city and partly in
favor of the defendants by the referees
who took the testimony. Forfeiture or
the company's franchise, as demanded
bv the city, is strongly declared against
by the referees, who award judgment
of S1S5,13G i'm favor of the city, as
against several million dollars claimed
by the city as being due on excess
profits. The referees's fees are fixed at
100000.
Since 1898, when the stock Of the
company was acquired by the New
York Gas, Electric Light Heat and
Power Company, the city has. had no
objection 20 the management The ref
erees ruled that the city and the de-
PENDANTS should bear the fees of the
referees and stenographers equally.
The referees were Hamilton Odetl,
Adrian II. Larkin and George Gordon
Battle. Originally, the present Supreme
Court Justice Eugene A. Philbin and
Adrian II. Joline were referees.
The actual trial began In 1907. The
case was conducted for several years
by ex-Assistant Corporation Counsel
William P. Burr. During Mayor Gay
nor's administration William II. Black
was in charge. In the last two years

Who Lost Pomeranian.

II you take your toy dog TO live
with you in a hotel, and few cubic
yards of gas creep through the key
hole from the next room, and the toy
