A LOAN IN APRIL
Fifth War Loan Will COml
Then, Indicated.
And Treasury Certificates Art
Issued Now.

Washington. Nov. 27.-In prepaEn-
ton for the fifth war loan. the treas
ury announced today the issuance of
$500, 100000 or more of certificates of
Indebtedness payable Mays6, 1919, and
paving 4 n per cent interest. The sub
scription period will run from De-
cember to December TO- The ma
turity date of the issue indicates that
the fifth loan will be f1oated in April.
McAdoo said, has by no means
brought to an end the heavy war cost.
Government expenditures for the
month of November will exceed
81, 900, 100000 and establish new
record for monthly war cost. In a
letter, he explained that there can be
no definite forecast of disbursements
for the next five months because of
uncertainties of pending revenue leg
islation.
McAdoo called attention to the gi-
gantic expense of maintaining an
army of occupation in Europe and to
the other war bills which must be
met. These bills cannot be paid, he
declared, unless the treasury con-
tinues to have adequate support from
the people at home.
McAdoo explained to the bankers
that the fifth loan should be of bonds
with short maturity term. He said it
would be difficult to set into motion
any plan for the continued sale of
government bonds during the period
of readjustment. Current require
ments, he said, would be taken care
of by the issues of treasury certifi-
/ Gates of Indebtedness.
The first issue of these certificates
will be dated December 5, 1918, and
will mature May 6, 1919.
Treasury disbursements during the
last four months have averaged
about 1850, 100000.

BARUCH'|N PLACE
Understood He Has Been Of
fered Treasury Job.
Would Succeed McAdOO to the
Position Now.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Bernard NJ.
Baruch, chairman of the war indus
tries board, it was understood today,
has been offered the post of secretary
Of the treasury to succeed Secretary
McAdoo. Whether he will be nomi-
mated is an open question.
Without actually declining to serve
it is said Mr.. Baruch has urged upon
the president strongly his belief that
he should not enter the cabinet on the
ground that his wealth, largely in gov
ernment and other securities, would be
seriously embarrassing.
The i'll health of Representative
Carter Glass, chairman of the house
banking and currency committee. who
also has been mentioned for the office
is said to have been influential in
determining the president to ask Mr..
Baruch to put aside his known objec-
tions. For director general of rail
roads to succeed Mr.. McAdoo, Charles
A. Prouty, now director of the railroad
Administrations division of public serv-
ice and accounts, is believed to be one
of the men under consideration. Mr..
Prouty formerly was director Of valua-
ton work for the interstate commerce
commission, and also served as MEM
Der of the commission.

TELLS GARBAGE
CONTRACT PLAN
Official OF Tri-City Disposal Com
pany Appears Before City
Heads to Explain.
Would PURCHASE FROM CITY
States That ii City Made Collections
and Then sold Money viii
BE Saved.

Attorney William f Whiteside Of
Moline appeared before the Rock
Island city commissioners at their
meeting yesterday in behalf OF the
TRICKY Disposal company which
IS seeking a contract for the Collec-
tion OF garbage throughout the city.
Mr. Whiteside is acting attorney
for the company. He stated to the
commissioners that the company
would prefer to have the city col
leCt the garbage and then sell the
same to the company in preference
20 the company making the cOllec-
tiOus This matter was brought up
when Commissioner Rudgren asked
if the company would favor this
arrangement
The company representative
stated that the garbage is the only
part of the collection that the com
pany can put TO any use and that
collection OF other material is only
done so as to obtain the contract.
Garbage collected IS 10 be fed to
hogs. The company has contract
in Moline and started work there
yesterday. II also holds contracts
in Davenport and at the Rock Is
land arsenal 1t was estimated that
in case Rock Island grants the con-
tract. the garbage Will fed from
$4,000 70 $4,000 hogs a year City
collection wagons will be taken
over by the company at price fixed
by arbitration and after cOllec-
tons are made the garbage will be
reloaded into auto trucks and
hauled 10 farms
Contract Price $4,000.
Reason for the $500 contract
price asked here in contrast of
S12.55O paid in Moline is given as the
larger tract covered by this city
and also to its increase Of pOpula-
ton over that of Moline. It is es-
timated that in addition to wagons
two auto trucks will be needed here
where only one is used in Moline
Ashes will be collected at al
points except where coal is used
for the generating of power. 4
shed VIII be built along the river
front as a collection depot, where
reloading will take place. This as
well as other equipment will be
fumigated once a day.
After considering the PROPOSE
ton as put forth by Mr Whiteside
the commissioners decided TO post
pone final action until next Monday.
