BIOS FOR SURVEY WILL
Be PRESENTED TONIGHT.
New York Bureau Has Submitted
Specifications As To What They
VIII Do For $4,000, and
Lively Interest Felt.

Clerk of council committees. AL
fred II. Mcdowell. has received from
the New York bureau of municipal
research their specifications for the
municipal survey of Richmond, and
the proposal will be kept under seal
until the charter change committee
meets tonight. The bureau sets forth
in the proposal what 1t will do in the
way of a survey of the city for $4,000.
The matter will be taken up by the
committee at its called meeting TO-
night. and il is expected that the
public service institute will be on
do II given the contract for a survey
of the city departments.
Lively interest had been manifested
in the action of the committee on the
proposals OF the two survey organiza-
tons. Sentiment in the council is
divided apparently, on awarding the
contract to the New York bureau, as
prescribed by the Civic association in
their OFFER to pay the expense of the
work. Members of the committee.
which will have the matter in charge,
think that the work ought to open to
competition, and that the contract
should go to the concern that will
promise the greatest amount of work
for the money.
1t is said that 1t is probable per-
sons who oppose the municipal sur
vey may advance the theory that the
work of survey cannot be let under
any other plan than by competitive
bid, and In this event ii lis thought
the matter will be submitted to the
city attorney for his opinion. A large
body of cltizens'is expected to he pres
ent tonight at the hearing OF the sur
vey bureaus.

The money Is on deposit in Federal

This afternoon at o'clock Arthur
James Balfour. British secretary of
state for foreign affairs. called upon
Secretary McAdoo. accompanied by
Sir Hartman Lever and Sir Richard
Crawford. At this conference later
and broader financing was discussed.
1t is Secretary McAdoo's purpose to
survey the entire foreign financial
field and learn from representatives
of each country what that countrys
immediate financial needs are.
At the conclusion of the Balfour-
McAdoo conference 1t was certain that
a large part of the $4,000, 600. 900
make will go to England because Eng
land has borne such heavy burden
of financing in taking care of the
money needs of her European allies.
Money to France and italy.
Secretary McAdoo is prepared to
continue the issue of short-term
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
If necessary to hasten the financing
of the foreign nations. to whose aid
the ODlle0 states mas Tdtiieu II Is
quite likely that speedy loan will
be made to France and another to
Italy. Secretary McAdoo already has
held conferences with the Italian am
bassador here in connection with such
loan. Also, the administration ex-
poets to make loan to the Belgian
government. Plans for the Belgian
loan are under way. Officials admit
unofficially that, with almost all OF
her territory in German hands.
Belgium can not give very good
security for loan. This is not con-
sidered by the American government.
A loan will be made regardless of this
situation.
SO far as the financing Is concern
ed, the government at Washington
has adopted the policy OF looking over
the varius fronts and determining the
weak points. Then this government
will hasten to strengthen these weak
points. firing dollars in the place OF
bullets until such time as the Ameri
can expeditionary force is ready to
carry the Stars and Stripes into the
European battles. Technicalities of
international financing will be laid
utterly aside and the money will be

 Chicago, Feb. 9.-Baseball play CTS in the American league who might desire to enlist for military service in event of the United States becoming involved in war would be granted their immediate release and their positions held open. President John- son of the American league an- nounced last night.
 Mot only would we release these players" MT. Johnson added, s..but we also would look to the welfare of their dependents. Contracts will not stand in the way of American league players who wish to fight in the de- fense of their country. We would en- courage the spirit to enlist.''
 President Johnson said that the league would not suspend in the event of war. He called attention to the fact, that the National league, during the Spanish American conflict, continued it's schedules. ''I approve of the suggestion made by Captain Huston of the New York club, in regard to military training for ball players. Captain Huston would have certain hours set aside during the training season for mili l tary drill It would set good ex. ample for others in military pre- paredness.'
