Mr.. Monod said:
"The schools and colleges of France
which heretofore have been difhcult oil

Sees Decline in Price

Allowing for reasonable profit to
iobbers and wholesalers, Mr.. Rolph ex-
pressed the opinion that sugar ought
to decline in price after the first Of
the wear.
There ought to be ample supplies
of sugar in this part of the country in
fifteen days" said Mr.. Rolph, "and with
wise economy there should be no more
sugar shortage in the future.
zone reason for the shortage. which
is confined mostly to the North At.
lantic section. is that the women Of
the whole country preserved more fruit
this year than they have ever done In
the history OF the nation. This Is not
to be regretted at all. It will mean
great deal of economy by next spring,
for we have the sugar substance in the
preserves"

Release a Few Thousand
Tons for New York

George NJ. Rolph, director Of the su-
gar division of the United States Food
predicted yesterday
immediate relief in the New York SUI
car shortage. He declined to disclose
whence the new sugar was coming
from.
Mr.. Rolph asserts. however, that
there is plenty Of sugar west OF the
Mississippi, and for that reason IL Is
believed that Western refners and
wholesalers may release a few thou
sand tons 70 tide the North Atlantic
seaboard over the next three weeks.
Then the newly purchased louisiana
crop will be pouring out Of the rein-
cries TO New York users.
Aside from any sugar that may come
from the West, small consignmenrs are
dribbing in from Cuba, the remnant OF
Inst seasons crop. The only other
available supply is held by the govern
nent. which has bought enormous
stocks for the army and navy. IL has
been suggested that the government
might lend to New York a part of this
supply. which is not required for i'm
mediate consumption by the soldier,
and sailors.

lief followed two conferences OF some

Alderman Bowling. now lammany
candidate for Boro- President, got the
Tammany Board of Aldermen to recon-
mend the purchase.
The Fusion majority in the Board OF
Estimate agreed and ordered Mayor
Cavnor's Corporation Counsel to get the
property by condemnation.
The condemnation price set by the
court was too high Mitchell contested it
through the higher courts successfully
and had the award thrown out. A
hearing is now going on. Not one cent
has yet been paid for Dreamland.
By contesting the award, Mitchell will
probab save the city half million dol
lars when the city finally acquires the
property.
As to Rockaway. that again is a case where Mitchell
and Prendergast had nothing to do with the cost
except to protect the city by getting an advance
option.
The purchase was first authorized when Mcclellan
unanimous for it.
The condemnation was in the hands Of Gaynor's
Corporation Counsel and the courts and the matter
was all settled and complete before Mitchell
became Mayor.
Mitchell has challenged Hylan to debate this or
any other question before the public. Has Hyan
accepted No.
He's afraid because he knows he's not telling the
truth.

Nampa. Jan. 9.-Strongly Indicative
of the adverse sentiment locally to

merce of this city to resolutions sent
by the Commercial club of Idaho Falls.
which advocates the changing of the
present state laws in such n manner
as to prevent the possibility of such
ownership. The presentation of the
resolutions precipitated quite a discus
sion and a motion to table their adop-
tion was defeated while motion to in
dorsc them was carried.
1t developes that the issue involved
is likely to become one of statewide
note as it has in the state of Califor-
MIA the past few years. The resolu-
tions Of the Commercial club of Idaho
