For the benefit Of the Red cfoss Il

that he win hiring the project before

While the last Legislature made an

GOVERNOR PUTS
OUT TART VETOES
Raps the Eyre Senate Bill Rela-
tive to Advertising Contracts
For Bridge Work

Vetoes of the Eyre Senate bill pro-
viding that county commissioners
might let contracts for bridge work
involving less than $500 without ad-
vertising for bids and the Kline Sem
ate bill requiring Allegheny county
to establish a pension fund for its
employees, were announced by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh last night
In vetoing the Eyre bill the Gov
ernor said that the act it seeks to
amend permitted such work to be
done without advertising only when it
involved less than $3.50 and comments,
THE trend of all modern accounting
of public moneys and the eXpendi-
more detailed and more open treat
ment of public expenditures. The
concensus of opinion is to let the peo-
pie know. When over $3.50 of county
funds is to be expended it is well that
competitive bids be received and the
people given full knowledge of the
transaction. This can work no injus-
tice and can do no harm. The absence
of such public treatment of the
transaction might work harm. 1t is
well to be on the safe side of the
proposition. The law now works no
hardship known to the executive. 1t
is in harmony with the best prin-
ciples of popular government"
The veto on the Kline bill says
This bill is to replace an act approv-
ed May IL, 1915, which act was rep
resented to the executive as meeting
fully the requirements of the case
of the county concerned. Until now
the act seems to be doing well. This
bill is so wide in its scope and opens
the way for such accidental admission
and withdrawal of beneficiaries as to
make it inevitable that its provisions
in the near future impair the fund
and defeat the essential good it seeks
to accomplish. The bill does not evil
dence any expert actuarial study of
its fiscal plans and will not in my
judgment give the nearly worthy
beneficiaries the relief they should
have. No pension system should hold
any promise it cannot assuredly keep.
Were the provisions so modified as to
make it a practical and dependable
service it would be approved"
The Governor approved the House
bills appropriating $4,000 to Dan
vile State Hospital and transferring
100000 of uneXpended balances in the
State Fire Marshals Department to
meet certain deficiencies in the same
department and the Senate bill to
cure a defect in the Allegheny tunnel
and subway act.

Railways Ask For a
General Increase in
All Freight Tariff

Washington. D. c., March 24.-The
chief railroads of the East yesterday
petitioned the Interstate Commerce
Commission to amend it's rules to per-
NIT a general increase in all freight
rates.
Western railroads notified the COM
mission that they, too. would ask for a
general increase in freight rates and
probably will follow the eastern roads
in asking for suspension of the rules
Southern roads are expected to take
similar action.
The proposed increases probably
will range between 10 and 10 per
cent, according to location of the
roads, with indications pointing to a
fiat increase of 10 per cent. being re-
quested in the case of the eastern
roads, which carry the great volume
of the country's traffic.

Peerless Arranging to
Move Into New Factory

Arrangements are now complete
at the big plant of the Peerless Motor
Car Company in Cleveland, Tor tne
removal of the passenger car depart
ments into the new group of factory
buildings which have been erected to
take care of the increased production
of the Peerless model sc eight cylln-
der car. This group of factory build
ings afford approximately oOO,0 ,00O
feet of additional floor space wnlcn is
to be devoted exclusively to the man
ufacture of Peerless Fights.
The new buildings will house the
departments which manufacture the
widely known Peerless eight cylinder
two power range motor, the body
building department where the hand
some Peerless bodies are turned out,
and the painting and finishing depart
ments.
r. J. Schmunk, sales manager OF
the concern, who is now on an extern
sive tour throughout the West ana
Southwest, reports to the factory that
never before during his ten years OF
service with the Peerless organization
have sales conditions looked better
for the company.
"Our two power range eight cylin-
der motor is the thing" he writes.
"Its combined Ioafing and sporting
range is one of the most talked about
developments in the motor car world
Every prospective buyer asks for
demonstration, just to learn what that
two power range means, and actual
performance sells the car.
Mr. Schmunk, having been connect
ed with the automobile industry from
the very start, helped to conduct some
of the experiments that resulted ID
the development of the steam auto
mobile nearly a score of years ago
He is also credited with having play
ed an equally prominent part in re-
ducing the selling price of the Peer:
less in the neighborhood of $S,OOe
without imperiling its efficiency, ano
Iappearance. When he returns to Cleve-
land he will find the passenger cal
dana rt m ents in their new home.
