increases. District Attorney Lewis, Of
Kings, asks for $195,575, an increase of
nearly $4,000, of which $20,275 is

Corporation Counsel Asks More
The office of the Corporation Counsel
asks for 1,002,S65 for 1920. This year
he was allowed 1892 ,2S0 in the budget.
This was swelled from time to time by
issues of special revenue bonds and
transfers from other funds to the ex-
tent of $S2, 2,1S0. In fact, this has been
general throughout Mayor Hylan's de-
partments since the 1919 budget was
made up.
All other increases were from minor
county offices. All the big depart
ments, such as the Street Cleaning De-
partment, which this year was award
ed the prize for increases. a matter of
close to $2,0000O0, and the Police and
Fire departments, have yet to be heard
from. Of all the requests forwarded
to date only one department has asked
for less than it received last year.
This is the Tenement House Depart
ment, which shaved its request $1,116
The budget must be signed by the
Board of Estimate not later than mid
night of October 30. The Board of
Aldermen may then consider it for
twenty days, at the end of which it
must send it's approval or dsapproval
of all or parts of the items to the
Mayor. The Aldermen may decrease
the amounts requested, but not add to
them.

litical View of Requests
for More Money

Last years budget Of $248, ,108. .4S7-
the biggest in the history Of the city
promises to look like 80 cents along
side of the 1920 budget, if the first
few requests of Mayor Hylan's heads
of departments, which were received
yesterday, is any indication.
Politicians who viewed these re-
quests, with their increases for new
jobs and increased wages, declared
that it meant but one thing-that those
who do not want to see Mayor Hylan
join the political hasbeens are build
ing up a personal machine for the 1921
mayoralty campaign.
The only big request for 1920 ap-
preparation so far filed is that of the
Brooklyn Park Department, which is in
charge of Commissioner John Harmon.
last year was $7b9,2 This year he
asks for an increase of $238,3S3, or q
total of $997,6O7.
The increase is asked for personal
service" This, translated into non
budgetary English points to salary in
creases and new jobs.
The Harmon item was regarded with
more than ordinary interest by those
who analyzed yesterdays requests, es-
pecially in view Of the fact that Com
missioner Harmon is personal ap-
pointee Of the Mayor.
Mayors Office Asks More
Also among yesterdays requests was
that of the Mayors office. which also
showed an increase of S1,40O.
The Park Department of The Bronx
also asks for an increase, $22.223 over
this years allowance, or s523, ,4S0. The
Sheriff of The Bronx, who was this
year allowed $126,961 over and above

some mighty good "prune juice" that
he would sell at SIS a quart. He
winked when he said it. the report
says, and disposed Of two trunks full
of bottles of "prune juice" After

ELECTRIC LIGHTS
THE POWER PLANT In OPERA
TTON TODAY.

The surprise of many Madison cit
liens was complete when upon aris-
ing this morning around $50 o'clock
they beheld Egan venue brightly IL
Illuminated.
The power plant was in operation
at an early hour and the entire light
ing system was put to test. People
found that the touch of the button,
brought a sufficiency of light into
their rooms. Everything is now be-
ing lined up to furnish Madison with
light and power from her own plant.
Last evening the church services
were interrupted somewhat by the
lights going out, but at that time 1t
could not be helped for workmen at
the plant were busily engaged in get
ting things in shape for furnishing
continuous light and power.
We are all thankful that the Diesel
engine has been saved and is capable
of giving us good service. All We
need now for a complete plant lis an
other unit and all housed in a mod
ern structure. This is coicing and
tonight the city commission will open
bids for the erection Of just such a
plant.

the congregation in the dark. The
pastor then postponed the commun-

and instead of preaching the COM
munion ermon he preached on the
subject so naturally suggested to
him, 1.-The One Light and the Many
Lights" He spoke Of Jesus, the
light of the world, and of the believer
who by standing in the right rela-
ton to Him, become lights. reflect
ing in their lives the light received
from Christ. He briefly referred to
the three illustrious Americans whom
we this month are asked to remem-
Der - Washington, Lincoln and
Roosevelt. They were Christian men
and truly great lights only insofar
as they stood in the right relation to
| Christ. The influence Of Christian
men will go on and their deeds will
ever be remembered, while unbeliev-

forgotten. Who now, for instance,
raves over Bob %Ingersoll, who only
rs years ago, stirred the world with

move as a general breaking up OF
such tribal relations as yet are re-

the relations retained as they con-

be taken by whites and there will be
nothing for allotment to the children

fact there is no danger of this get

under lease for two years yet, and
nothing would be done before that
