viously Impossible for the association
to refuse to accept whatever conditions
the authorities laid down.
THE fundamental reason for allowing
buyers to drive onto the piers and get
their goods was that II made easy dis
tribution possible to big population"
said Mr. Smith last night. THE COM
petition of the railroads resulted in
their promoting the markets on the
terminals and in their assuming re-
sponsibility for goods until they were
hauled of by the buyer. Mr.. Mantell
ordered that the receiver assume re-
sponsibility the minute the goods are
received and prior TO their being mar
keted.
Under the old system from 20 to 80
packages are missed from n pier in
day sometimes. The desire OF some OF
the jobbers to get onto the docks Is
legitimate. Others have an object
don't care to go into. The members
OF the association are selling goods for
others and can do nothing save obey
the Railroad Administration.
THE buyers under the new rules
want to buy on the street but we are
under legal obligation to sell on the
docks I don't know how It will all
end but we are willing to do all In our
power to promote better conditions"

FORD'S STREET CAR
MOTOR READY SOON
Tryouf in Detroit of InUention
That May End Trolleys.
Special Despatch TO THE son.

DETROIT, April 3-Charles Z. Soren-
son, general manager OF the Henry Ford
Il Son. Tractor Company. announced to-
day that Henry Ford and other members
of his tractor organization are working
on plans for street car driven by an
internal combustion motor, which will be
demonstrated on the streets Of Detroit
the coming summer.
Lieut.. Col. d ]. Hall, one of the de-
signers of the Liberty motor. will come
to Detroit to assist In demonstrating the
new car. Lieut.. Col Hall has success
fully worked out motor driven street
cars, but will cooperate with Mr.. Ford
In perfecting the latter's new ideas.
Mr.. Sorenson says that the electric
driven car IL no longer the modern means
OF transportation and should be replaced
by the motor driven system. He added !:
The present electric street car as we
see II on our streets 10 in Its last days.
The street car as we know II has been 30
long recognized by engineers as inef-
ficient that It's successor has been de-
signed and is in process of trial
Engineers condemn the present street
railway system everywhere because II
costs too much. II requires great dy-
namos capable of carrying the peak
| loads of modern traffic. tons of costly
| cables. feed wires made of copper. forests
Of poles. &C. Besides that, the weight
OF the motors compels more heavily con-
structed cars than the traffic really calls
for.
THE modern electric car has been
weighed In the balance OF efficiency and
found wanting. II viii be superpedSd. and
It's successor will be tried out In Detroit
| this year"

Travis Says SCOTIA Discrep-
ancy Shows Need of New
Accounting System.

ALBANY. April 3.-Discrepancies ag-
sregating S20,714s0 are disclosed in the
financial transactions Of ~ out Of 100
municipalities examined last year, &C
cording to Comptroller Travis's special
report made to the Legislature to-day.
Similar examinations conducted dur
ing the last four years. when deficits to-
falling $103.4o4.s9 were discovered in
lot Of the 243 investigations, confirms
the ComptroHer's opinion. urged for
some time past. that great need exists
for a more systematic method of audit
ing revenues, both State and localities.
Examinations last year of approx
mately 104 municipalities" explained
the Comptroller. shows that public off,
calls, particularly those in smaller COM
nunities. are unfamiliar with their pow
ers ana duties. This pepdition Is not
surprising. nor made in criticism. and
exists because the laws governing are
20 numerous and complex. and because
officials are frequently retired just at
time when their experience best qualities
them to return the position.
Moreover" Mr.. Travis points out.
MUNICIPALITIES and their officers possess
no inherent power They may exercise
only those functions which the Legisla-
ture confers on them. AS to municipal
expenditures the fact that nothing Is q
municipal charge unless made so by
statute, Is not generally appreciated or
understood by municipal officers. In ac-
tual practice they are apt to conclude
that a certain expenditure ought to be
incurred for the benefit OF the municipal
ity. regardless of any legal Limitation.
Another source of criticism is that
many municipal officials receive COM
pensation on what is known as the fee
basis In all such cases there is a ten
dency to charge more or greater fees
than the law allows, or to charge fees
and expenses when none Is allowable.
The great number of deficits dis
closed does not lead to the conclusion
that municipal officials are lacking In
honesty. as a greater number of the
discrepancies are found to have been the
result of a combination Of facts indi-
eating no moral turpitude- In every in
stance. however, the deficit was real and
not mere paper shortage or one result
ing from faulty bookkeeping. because
there was an absence Of cash which
should have been In the municipal treas
ury. This condition existed. in the
opinion of our examiners. because OF
failure to require exact accounting, but
II is expected that the new system now
established will prevent any repetition
Of this"
Concluding, the Comptroler's report
calls attention to the great importance
of installing some adequate accounting
system In each municipality.
