and promised to make a report to
Council again next week.
Commissioner Gross during the
discussion said the officials recogniz-
ed the need of general contagious
disease hospital but under the pres
ent conditions with the>need of labor
and materials for the government,
plans could not be made now. He
declared he was in favor of submit
ting the question to the voters to de-
eide on loan to pay for the cost of
a new institution.
Other commissioners made in
quiries about treatment of patients,
their need of medical attention and
other conditions at the present hos
pital. When assured that there was
no need to have medical attendant
there all the time and that other
reports about neglect were not true,
one of the officials said, Probably
they think we are running a summer
resort out there and want us to let
the place for that purpose"
DIR. Hassler assured the council
men if any patients were brought to
the hospital and needed constant at
tention a nurse would be provided
at once, according to arrangements
which have been made.
Harry w. Keeny, 721 Capital
street, of Miller Bros. e. Company,
and Dewitt A. Fry, city controller,
were appointed as assistant assessors
to-day to help City Assessor James
c. Thompson, in making the tri-

street, to a point 165 feet east of
Fifth street, and an ordinance di-
recting that all traffic in Kline alley

ance for city employees to the United

by was appointed as assistant to the
acting chemist at the city filter plant.
A motion extending the time limit
for closing the sidewalks in Walnut
and Third streets, to July /, was in
troduced by Commissioner Lynch, as
the present construction work at
the Penn Harris hotel makes it dam
gerous to- open the pavement for
pedestrians. Commissioners Lynch in
cluded in the motion a suggestion
that an agreement should be made
with the construction company to
release the city from all damages
while the work is going on.
The ordinance requiring property
owners or occupants within three
days after notice from the water de-
partment, to repair all leaks or
breaks in pipes was passed finally.

Express Merger Plans
Ready Within a Week;
Differ on Capitalization

Washington, April 2.-Merging of
the express companies under a new
corporation, to operate them as a
unit and work out basis for dis
tribution of profits, is under consid-
Grafton between the railroad admin
istration and representatives of the
companies. An announcement is eX-
pected within a week.
Conclusion of an agreement has
been held up. it was learned to-day,
by difficulties in developing a plan
for apportioninG the stock of the
new company, which would have vir-
tually monopoly of express busi-
ness in the United States. The rail-
road administration would make n
contract with the single company for
hauling express matter, taking ap-
proXimately half of the transport re-
ceipts.
The capitalization of the new COM
pany also is the subject of consd-
erable difference of opinion. Other
leading companies-Adams. Amer
lean and Wells-Fargo-claim a phys
ical valuation of their transportation
property of approximately $30,0O0,-
900. An additional several million
dollars cash for operation will be re-
quired. Express companies and some
railroad administration advisers ad-
vocate higher capitalization with al
lowance for good will and other in
tangible assets.
The plan for a unified express
business is the outgrowth of earlier
suggestions from the express COM
panies that their concerns be taken
over and operated during the war, as
the railroads have been, with the
guarantee of average earnings for
the three years ending last June.
This would have meant Govern
rnent payment of more than $4,000
600 a year and opposition developed
on the ground that this would prob
ably result in loss to the Govern
