SEEKS ADVANCE PAY
ON WAR CONTRACTS
Bethlehem Steel Company Says
II Cannot Hasten Ordnance
Delivery Without Money.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.--An ad-
vance payment on munitions and other
contracts for the Government was
asked to-day by Charles M. Schwab
and Eugene G. Grace OF the Bethle-
hem steel Company. who conferred
with Secretaries Baker and Daniels
and told them tho work could not be
expedited without financial aid, as
they were unable to obtain adequate
funds from the banks. The request
was taken under consideration.
Enormous increases in the size OF
It's plants have been undertaken by
the company to handle war contracts.
The navy's destroyer programme is
not involved. These and all other con-
tracts made on a cost plus 10 per cent.
profit basis already have been taken
care of by the Government under It's
authority TO advance up to 80 per
cent. OF the amount OF an order made
on those conditions.
The contracts (many OF them for
ordnance) with which the Bethlehem
people are having trouble are those
awarded on fixed price. Some OF
them antedate the outbreak OF the
war.
The situation disclosed by the com.
pany threatens TO delay ordnance
production seriously, and Congress
may be asked to amend the law 80
that advances may be made. New de-
stroyer plants OF the Bethlehem and
other concerns are being erected With
Government aid, and the attitude Of
the Administration has been that
similar aid must be provided wherever
necessary TO hasten the output OF war
material.

To Raise Main Street Walk.

An important Improvement is under
consideration By the Sclectmcn and
street commissioner. It is the laying
of a cement sidewalk on the east side
of Main street from Harris place to the
Episcopal church property, to replace
the concrete walk now there. The new
walk will be laid as soon aS Commits
soncr A. A. Wallace can find time TO
do the work. It will he higher than
the present walk, which will involv"
raising the curbing and probably the
removal of the fence in front of the
Centre church house, the fence having
become dilapidatcd and being the only
fence ON that stretch of street.
Whenever there is II hard rainstorm
the water runs over the sidewalk and
runs into cellars and damages the rear
end of some of the lots. 1t is thought n
higher walk will obviate some of this
trouble, although the drain pipes are
not large enough to take care of some
of the storms.

There ARE Seasons for auctions rs in

are the times when people particularly

changes of ownership naturally come
