CITY BUDGET UNDER
NEW CHARTER AN AID
Bureau Of Municipal Research
Points Out Advantages
of Provisions %

The budget provisions of the new
city charter are going far TO help this
city get 100 cents of value for every
dollar spent FOR municipal plrpqses,
according to the Bureau of Municipal
Research.
In bulletin issued today the
Municipal Research Bureau points out
the advantage of having the budget pge- .
pared by a central authority rather
than have separate. requests for appro
priations pouring in on Councils finance
committee from all departments of the
city.
The bulletin, in part, follows:
"Were it not for certain provisions
of the new charter Philadelphia would
not have a mayoral budget for next year
lin fact, would have no budget at all.
But, thanks to the charter. instead of
a mere compilation of departmental re
quests prepared by the chairman of the
finance committee and another mere
compilation of departmental requests
prepared by the city controller. both
mutually irreconcilable and the latter
practically useless from the standpoint
of the needs of the city's legislative
body, Councils will receive real budget
although it may not be perfect.
Councils will have before them for
consideration, and as a guide for making
the annual appropriations and fixing
next years tax rate, what amounts to a
single, CO. ordnated request for all OF
the departments and other units of the
city government. Instead of having to
consider twenty seven or more unrelated
and, for the most part. highly inflated
requests, it will have the benefit of tn,
Mayors previous consideration and de
termination of the propriety of the
numerous departmental requests"

larger than that of yesterday and this
fact only displayed the greater eager

SERVICE OF AUTO
DEPENDS ON TIRES
LIKE PEOPLE, CAR MUST BE
PROPERLY SROD TO PER
FORM DUTIES.

An automobile is just like a per
son in this sense, that if it is not
shod properly it cannot be expected
to perform it's regular and necessary
duties. The tire industry has grown
rapidly with the advance of automo-
bile manufacturing and motor car
factories are dependent upon the tire
manufacturer and vice versa, de-
clared r. j. Stowe, salesmanager of
the Kelly Tire company. 326 East
Fourth street, Kelly-Springfield tire
distributors for Thurston county.
THE motorists of today are rapid
ly realizing the worth of having
their automobiles correctly shod,"
said Mr.. Stowe. Motoring is no
longer a joy when you are contin-
ually having tire trouble and buying
new tires. Neither is it safe to run
on poor tires for blowouts and tire
weaknesses have meant much to
present day motor car accidents.
mo better verification of this
statement could be had than from
the drivers of trucks and busses
throughout Southwest Washington.
Take the buses as an example. They
are forced to make good steady time
on their trips and cannot be con-
stantly bothered with blowouts and
tire trouble. They are depended
upon by hundreds of people daily to
carry them safely to and fro and if
they were compelled to stop every
other trip to fix their tires, they
would be pa.ronized by a very few
persons.
THE sane is true of the truck
owners HI, ndreds of perSo ns de-
pend upon motor trucks to deliver
their goods and constant tire trouble
means poor service. 1t is for this
reason that so of the leading estab-
lshments of Southwest Washington
depend upon Kellys to put them
through Corporations who operate
Fords and heavy duty trucks in their
daily routine have found Kellys the
last word in tire economy and are
giving them their highest word of
praise"

ANOTHER AGED FORD
STILL IN THE RING
MODEL ~ SMILING AND STURDY
AFTER is YEARS HARD
USAGE.

In the salesroom of the Denk-
Thompson company, Ford dealers in
Detroit, Mich, is Ford touring car
number 604, looking wonderfully
youthful and sturdy despite its 16
years of daily service. The car was
accepted as $50 on the purchase of
new Ford. Apart from style, the
old-timer is worth more than that
it "goes" and the motor is quite
some years this side of being pen
sioner, but vogue in motordom has
changed since 1904.
Engines are no longer wound up
from the side: steering wheels no
longer stick straight up into the air:
and then, too. eight horsepower and
five gallon gas tanks aren't quite suf-
fcient for the modern motorist. The
faithful Ford has not outworn its
usefulness it has merely outlived
itself 1t is as though an old Indian
chief should sport himself adorned

THREE MECHANICS BUY
CHEVROLET TOURING CARS
Local Agents Take Much Pride in
Announcing Deliveries
This Week.

Delivery during the past week of
Chevrolet touring cars to three we'll
known automobile mechanics is re-
ported by Henry Schultz, president
of the Capital Transit & Repair COM
pany, as indicative of the high
standing of the Chevrolet among
men whose trade puts them next to
all kinds of automobiles.
Two of the cars were the first of
the new Baby Grand models received
by the local agency. One went to
Herman c. Schirmer, who has been
shop foreman for the local agency
for the past year and who, Schultz
says, was SO pleased with the per-
Torrance of Chevrolet cars that he
bought one for himself; and the
other to Maurice Hettirck, former
owner of the Yelm garage, who has
been an automobile mechanic for
years.
The third, Four-Ninety model,
was delivered to Lee Pauley, proprie-
tor of garage at Shelton, who
bought it for his own use In addi-
ton to these cars, the agency deliv-
cred Four-Ninety touring cars to j.
G. Day, superintendent of construc-
ton on the new hotel; A. f. Russell
of this city, George Black and Clar-
ence Morris of Chambers Prairie and

Dog Family
Fourteen Bloodhound Bah
les Brought to City In
One Trip of the
Stork.

The worlds record for size Of a ca
nine family, all alive and doing well
is the claim made by Bells Harris OF
the court house for Roxie, blood
hound who yesterday gave birth to
fourteen puppies.
Asteady stream OF dog -fanciers has
been going to the Harris residence in
Highland avenue ever since the in
teresting event which seems to be a
phenomenal occurrence in dogdom.
The pups were sired by Ed, the best
bred of all Sheriff Glover's blood
hounds and will prove a gold mine to
the proud 7possessor il he succeeds in
raising all of them.
This is Roxies third performance,
the first litter containing nine, con-
sidered normal. Thirteen in the next
litter rather astonished the natives,
but this time Roxie has smashed ala
previous records. 1t is said that Bells
has been securing the town for nip
pies expecting to spend good part
OF his time helping in The nursery.
