A KIN s
AID M ITS
BUYING

Commissioner of Public Works
Atkins made a statement Friday
concerning the amount of cement
pipe bought by the city during re-
cent years from l.. Y. Stayton. ce-
ment contractor and president OF
the Citizens league.
In 1914 the city paid Stayton
$7,14S.iS, and in 1915 IL paid
him $5,493.04 for cement pipe.
The 1916 total was $2,565.47.
81 simply want to show that
since the change of administra-
ton, when Commissioner Gronen
and myself have had charge of
this department, the purchase of
cement pipe from Mr.. Stayton has
decreased" said Atkins.
The commissioner admitted,
however. that practically no pipe
was brought for extension pur-
poses in 1916, while large quanti-
ties were needed for public i'm
provement work in the previous
years.
Engineers under former Com
missioner owen Woods condemned
this class of pipe for sanitary sew
err purposes, but Woods bought
several thousand dollars worth
for storm sewers.
Mayor Fawcett refused utterly
to take any stand on the Citi-
zens' league fight Friday.
"All | know is that Stayton
doesn't hang around my office
any," he said.

Teale made formal demand

ENGLAND'S VIEW


LONDON, Feb. 9.-England
considers that Germany has COM
mitted at least two overt acts
coming within the scope of those
supposed to have been set by
President Wilson as demanding
the succeeding step from the Unit
ed States of a war declaration
against the kaiser's government.
The detention of Ambassador
Gerard is held by number OF
London newspapers today to be
the most serious affront to the
United States which Berlin has
offered to date.
Coming within the scope OF
overt acts" as construed by the
London press, is the sinking OF
such ships as the California and
the Turino without any warning.
The fact that both these vessels
carried Americans was regarded
here as placing such attacks di-
rectIy in the classification OF
those which President Wilson has
limited would be regarded as a
cause for war.
