cupants Of buildings in many sections
OF the city have protested to Mayor
Iiylan, through the broadway Associ-
alton and the Washington Heights Tax
payers Association. against the curtail-
ment OF street lighting put into effect
month ago. The letters Of the two
associations sent to the Mayor pointed
out that not only are some of the
prominent avenues inadenuately light
ed, but that, in many locations on the
East and West sides Of the city, prop
erty Is placed in Jeopardy and human
life is in danger.
The appearance OF German subma
lines off tho coast and the poss bili,y
Of aeropiane raids by the enemy
prompted the city authorities TO issue
an order Oh June disseminating the
use OF about 1900 street lamps above
Houston Street The. only avenues not
affected were Second. Third. Sixth and
Ninth. In Broadway, above Fifty ninth
Street. the street light in the middle
Of the block has been eliminated, &C
cording to the letter of the associa
tions, and at the intersection OF many
streets and avenues there is now only
one light, which leaves the long cross
town blocks in comparative darkness.
On the extreme East and West sides OF
the city, the letters complain. almost
total darkness prevails.

OF the new salary schedules and tho
securing OF funds to enable the Board

ing the smaller salarios such funds
as the Board Of Education may find
available for the purpose during the
present year. The auditor reports
that the maximum amount Of money
which tho Board OF Education may use
Tor this purpose during the remainder
of the current year is 100000 Your
committee has arranged distribution
of this amount on the basis of the
granting OF additional compensation

WASHINGTON, July 3.--A high rec
ord for daily production Of rifle and
pistol ammunition was set on June p,
when approximately 27,00O.0o0 car
tridges OF every description were
turned out in plants working for the
United States, exclusive of commercial
production or work for other govern
mcntS.
In announcing this achievement the
ordnance department said it was not
to be regarded as daily standard, but
merely represented the peak of pro-
duction to date.
The record for assembling the 1917
model army rifle is held by worker
named Cahill at the Midvale plant in
Eddystone. Penn. He assembled 2s1
guns in ten-hour day last week. The
average man at that plant now is
approximately 200 a day, compared
with 40 a day when the factory was
working on rifles for the British gov
