| DROWNED WHILE AT 1 WORK ON BRIDGE
Salvatore De Angelo Lost His Foot
 ing and Fell Into Thames.

While at work on the new Thames river bridge, Wednesday afternoon, Salvatore De Angelo of 91 Crystal avenue. New London, lost his footing and fell into the river and drowned. The accident happened after o'clock and it happened that no one witness sd it.
 About 2.30 the foreman looked for De Angelo. who was a carpenter, to tell him about work that he wanted done and couldn't find the man. Some body noticed De Angelo's hat and a lead pencil floating on the surface of the river and it was at once suspect ed that he had fallen overheard
 The services of a diver were se- cured and after a search the body was recovered in 40 feet of water near the fender pier. There were no marks on the body that would indi- cate injuries and the only explanation of the fatality is that De Angelo slipped and feiI into the water and being unable to swim went to the bottom. The body .vas recovered be- tween 4 and 5 o'clock.
 De Angelo was employed by Ire Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins Co. He is survived by a widow and two chiI- dren. He was of good habits and pop ular among his associates on the bridge work

STATE BUDGET Is
FEASIBLE HERE
Counsel McDevitt Points Out
the Way 1t Could Be Made
effective in State

Harry S. McDevitt, counsel of the
mission to-day declared that he be-
lieved the budget system of appropri-
ations could be adapted to Pennsylva-
mia. Mr.. McDevitt has been making a
study of the systems of appropriation
in other States and the conditions in
this State and says that he believe that
in addition to asking information from
heads of departments of the State gov
ernment the Governor could, under
the constitution, request each depart
ment chief to send an accounting Of
expenditures from each appropriation
as well as an itemized estimate of ap-
preparations that will he NEEDED.
The Governor, he says, would then
be in a position to send to the Legis-
lature a statement showing every fund
appropriated, the amount expended
therefrom, the amount requested by
each department chief and his recon-
mendation for appropriation,
'1t is not only unscientific for the
general assembly to attempt to appro-
pirate millions OF dollars without any
more basis or foundation than the es-
timated revenue and disbursement of
the State, but it is unfair to the public
and the press to have these millions
appropriated during the dying days
members of the same have had an
opportunity to analyze carefully the
expenditures of the past and the wants
of the future" says be. ''The only in
formation not available is that con-
tanned in the. annual reports of the
various departments or the summary
of the Auditor Generals report"

May Issue Bonds For
Construction Purposes

New York, Jan. 19.-The Bethlehem
Steel Corporation is considering an is
sue of new bonds to provide funds for
carrying out its construction program,
which President Charles NJ. Schwab
has announced will require the ex-
penditure of S10O,000,O0O over the
next few years. 1t is expected that
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. will market the
issue.
The amount of new Bethlehem
bonds to be issued it was reported
yesterday, will be in excess of
$4,000, 900, to bear interest at per
cent.
Bethlehem Steers present funded
debt is S60,790,000 and. together with
the bonds of all the subsidiary COM
panies, it totals $S1, $4,000. Sale of
over $50,000,000 of new bonds would
bring the corporations debt to a figure
in excess of $40, 100000, or $780,
100000 more than the present author
lied amount of stock.
In connection with the acquisition
of the Pennsylvania Maryland Steel
Company. the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration recently issued S31,942.0OO

per cent. bonds. These are secured by
the property purchased. OF the
$60,000,000 bonds authorized under
this mortgage, NS16,949,O00 are re-
served for refunding.
Under the company's first lien and
refunding mortgage about $4,000, 900
more bonds may be issued for i'm
provements. To do the new financing
now contemplated, therefore, q new
