POST OFFICE HERE IS
IN TERRIBLE SHAPE
In Spite of New and Spacious
Quarters, Mail Is Delayed
Frightfully.

In spite of its spacious quarters in
the new federal building. which it has
occupied since Saturday night, the
post office is rendering worse service
than before.
Everyone patiently awaited the
move In the hope that conditions
would be improved. but instead the
reverse is true. 1t may be that they
have not gotten Strengthened out in
their new quarters yet and that mat
ters will adjust themselves satisfac
torily later on, but just now the situa-
tion is deplorable to say the least
Not single out-of-town newspaper
was delivered to the local newspapers
yesterday. altho they usually receive
several hundred every day. At
o'clock yesterday morning three em-
ployes of the post office were seated
on n bench in the workroom laughing
and clicking their heels together
while huge stacks of letters remained
close by.
Unless there is some relief an ap-
peal will have to be made to Wash
ington. Tulsa has stood for rotten
postal service about long enough in
the opinion of local patrons. II n
shortage OF room and clerks Is the
II should be known and Wash
ington should take steps TO remedy
the situation. If incompetence is to
blame, that fact should also be known.
Tulsa must have better post oitice
service!

much shearing by the members Of the
excise board They feel that every
cent called for In the budget Is actually
necessary to the proper operation of
the city for the fiscal year ending
July 81, 1918.
Each item has been subjected to
close scrutiny by the board OF commits
sioners, and the separate estimates
from every department have been
closely examined. In announcing the
sum desired for the operation NJ the
fire department. special attention was
called to the need of new hose. and
other equipment for stations which
are not provided for In the recent
bond issue.
Cops To Get Raise.
The increase asked by the police
department is to provide for the extra
service which has been promised by
the administration upon request of
local merchants and business men. 1t
also provides for a slight Increase in
salary. as 1t has long since been dem-
onstrated that salary of SIS ana $sn
n month was not sufficient to attract
men efficient In police work TO the
Tulsa department.
The volume of work being done by
the engineers department has in
creased almost so per cent within the
past year, and only yesterday bids
for more than $4,000 worth Of
pavement were received by the city
commissioners. This, with the huge
amount of work to be done in in
creasing the width of downtown bust
ness streets will make IL necessary

important branch OF the city work.
with the increased area of paved
streets and the efforts of the present
administration to place all streets In
the best OF condition. the $lOS,3l2
asked for by the street department Is
not thot excessive by the commits
sioners. who regard this as one of the
most important branches OF the city
government.
Eut little more is asked for this
year to provide for the current ex-
penses of the sewer department, and
it is probable that this fund OF
$500 will be allowed by the excise
board when the budget is presented.
Increased work has been placed
on the finance and revenue depart
ment. and for this reason the increase
OF s3,790 Is asked over tho budget
of last year.
Haul Garbage Free.
Last year the budget included an
item OF s7,1S0 for the garbage wore
of the street department, but since
then this work has been transferred
to the health department, under
change in the system which permits
the municipal collection and disposal
Of this refuse. The money to be Sc
cured by this levy will go toward pay
ing the haulers and in the keeping OF

Palace.


George Beban, the famous Italian
character actor who will be seen at
the Palace today and Thursday in his
latest production, "a Roadside I'm
presario", has hidden passion that
was not discovered until the filming
of this story at the Pallas studio. This
passion Is for breaking dishes.
One OF the incidents of the story
is where Mr.. Beban is working as n
helper in a restaurant In order to raise
money to get Bruno, his bear, out OF
jail. Beban finds an important paper
and certain members OF his company
try to get 1t away from him. Armed
with a cleaver and n painful Of hot
soup, he keeps them at bay. This
scene takes place near one OF the
racks in which the hundreds of clean
dishes were stacked. and tipping the
rack over had nothing TO do with the
story. Several people noticed during
rehearsal that Mr.. Beban looked at
this rack with hungry eyes, but thot
nothing OF II, and as the dishes were
all borrowed from a local restaurant
II was supposed the star would do no
damage; but while the scene was be-
ing photographed Mr.. Beban managed
to jump around In such q way as to
tip over the entire rack cotanining
the dishes. AS soon as he had fin
ished the scene he jumped up and
down and said "By golly! know

Stock Market ReUielU
tstrandberg. McGreevy & Coz

NSuandDerg, McGreeNy " Coz
Stocks on the New York stock ex-
change showed a good undertone dur
ing most OF the day, which was most
surprising after the announcement by
Secretary McAdoo that the govern
would want five billion dollars more
for the current fiscal year in addition
to the amounts already spent for war.
The news caused commotion at the
capital but did not disturb the market
when II came out. There is still in
terest in the original issue yet to be
taken care Of
For the moment the Russian situa-
ton was dropped as market IN
!lence. Possibly the interview with
Premier Keresnky was regarded as
holding out hope, altho II referred to
need of using blood and iron in put
ting down international troubles.
The stock market is likely to con-
tinue in a trading range for time
until we get fresh bearings, but the
huge demands for war are likely to
act as weight when the real signifi-
cance is realized. 1t will be well to
take profits when you have them.
