up Its affairs preparatory to disband-

In connection with the decision 70 end
the labors OF the British War Mission
here, 1t was learned that some s12O,OO0,-
coo worth OF finished products and raw
material remained on hand when the
armiSuce was signed last November
This represents the surplus OF only one
or three foreign governmental purchas-
Ing agencies. II is estimated that al
the close OF 1918 the total value Of
goods contracted for by all OF the mis-
sions WAS close to 100000, 900.
The relatively small quantity OF copper
or cotton which was contracted for by
the British War Mission when hostiltties
came to an end Is not being marketed,
but is sent to England as required. The
other products, which include steel. shell
steel ship plates &c, are being marketed
gradually through reselling. II is ex-
pected that the entire surplus will he

SOME cases adjustments were made on
contracts where the work was unfinished
In others the products were accepted and
sold for scrap.
In all of the contracts made by the
British War Mission there was an arinie-
tice clause, although It was said that In
no Instance did manufacturer sustain
loss through the strict execution OF
that provision. In some cases in which
American firms were far behind on their
orders settlements were made In spite OF
the fact that there was no technical
obliration to do so and the articles were
useless after the cessation OF hostilitiee
The British War Mission expended
more than $500 900. 600 in purchases OF
American products from the time II WAS
organized in September, 1917, 10 the
second week OF November. 1915, although
tho total expenditures OF the British
Government IN this country for war ma
terials exceeded 81 900. 100000. That
amount included food. meats. wheat,
sugar, horses, machine tools. all kinds OF
guns, shells, steel. copper and other
metal products. Before the advent OF

Whereas it used to be a torture
upon leaving the roads on the Min
nesota side to come into Wisconsin

The application of w. G. Spence
and others for curbing on the west
side of Fourth street, between Pine
and Maple streets, brings out the
fact that when the permanent re-
adjustment of these streets is made,
the roadway will be reduced in
width to 80 feet. 1t is therefore
deemed best not to curb a single
block at this time, but to wait until
the entire length of the street can
be curbed to its proper width.
