the estimated worth of the property is
expected tomorrow night when Coun-
ell meets The, Finance Committee re-
fused TO give the gas company the es-

If the effort. which will undoubtedly
be made before the Council by North

year will be abandoned. Many other
important measures are to come be-
fore the Council Tuesday night. but

The matter has heen in committee

IMPROPER USE OF UNIFORM
BECOMES SERIOUS PROBLEM
Secretary Baker Declares Some Former
Soldiers bringing Service into
DiSrcputc ny Action.

Improper commcrcialzation of the
army and navy uniform has become
so widespread and serious a problem
that Secretary of War Newton n.
Baker. has officially requested Colonel
Woods to take all possible steps to
deter eN-solders from selling and to
induce the public to refrain from buy
men on the strength of their uniform"
it is today announced by Colonel
Arthur Woods, assistant to the Secre-
tary Of War. who is in charge of the
re- employment Of discharged service
men.
In his letter TO Colonel Woods, Sec
rotary Baker wrote as follows:
"I;X-soldiers arc, in many instances,
employed to peddle more or less worth
less devices and articles, and some
times. indeed, very sha bby papers and
mementoes of pseudo-patriotic char
actcr, with the pla in expectation that
their uniform and their recent military
service will appeal TO the charity of
passers-by. This brings the whole
question OF the uniform and of theI
splendid service which our soldiers
have rendered the country into disre-
pute. and seems to imply that the
country is failing to provide suita bic
and proper places OF employment for
discharged men"
Some cities have passed ordinances
throughout the country have, at the
instance of Colonel Woods, taken up
the matter and are quick to arrest
persons guilty of any infringement Of
the law. but there seems to he need
for extensions and changes in the
presen; legal provisions in order that
the practice may be entirely forbidden
