that the kaiser be not hampered in

TOSTOP JOY

CITY CARS
EstimatOrs Plan To
Eliminate ApprOpri-
atoms For Autos
ID. p. w. Is THE
WORST OFFENDER
Commissioner Fenkell
Says He'll Try To
Stop Practice

To stop lOyriding in City-owned
automobiles n Is likely that the
board OF estimates in It's next ses
sion will cut ont all appropriations
for city automobiles and make city
employees who must have cars buy
their own. II this system Is adopt

70 buy machines will be given a

This plan has been tried in other
cities and is said 20 be more sue
cessful than the present plan Com
plant has been made thar employees
OF the department Of public works
are using the city cars more FOR
pleasure than for business. while
the city pays the repair and gas
bills. an item that has grown 10 be
large one.
Many employees are furnished cars
by the city. intended for city bust
ness only and these are provided
with special license numbers En-.
ployes using these cars for pleasure
purposes remove the city tags and
hang in their place regular state
licenses.

they must make cath thar they own
the machines they get licenses for.
An investigation has shown that
many OF the department ~ public
works cars have state licenses.
Commissioner Fenkell says his de-
partment has applied for only two
such licenses and that il employees
are using them they got them with
out authority from him.
Mr.. Fenkell saws there are - au-
tomobiles owned BY the department
OF which 81 are trucks OF the

some OF the appropriations for auto

they be equipped with time docks
80 they can be operated only during
business hours.
Much criticism has resulted from
the fact that Porter Murphy, secre
