A misunderstanding appears to have

pressly stlpulstes that the houses shall
be considered only temporary and shall
be torn down at the end Of flve years
at most, and that they shall be erected
only on open ground and distant from
thlckly settled blocks. so as to reduce
fre hazard TO a minimum.
Several builders have asked n they

same limited permission as that which
IL will give for the dupont structures.

a candidate for Natolnal delegate.
While advocates OF Governor Town
send will be Handicapped temporarily
by the holding back OF the delegate
list, they have been checking up In the
various districts and have pretty ac-
curate knowledge OF the names that

Several county committeeman also
have tried 10 set copies OF the delegate

have been unsuccessful.
Anoih r question that has arisen is
as TO printing OF the ballots for the
primary election on Saturday next.
Nobody here has been able TO learn
whether the county committee, or SEQ
retary Stewart intends TO have the
ballots printed. or whether The candl-
dates for national committeeman shall
have ttrm printed Friends OF Cover
nor Townsend want an offlcia list OF
candidates so they can have tickets
printed and be on the safe side In
event that the county committee does
not have proper tickets printed. The
question Of the form OF tickets also
is cup in the afr" and some OF the
governors friends are wondering
whether the opposition is planning 10
put over some lsst-mlnute trick TO try

that you refer 10 was not made By me,
as | made no statement whatever In
reference to a deficit. except thai the
city would need more money TO meet
It's expenses. | do not know who

clusion would be that II was based on
the proposition that at the present
tax rate If ali Of the departments In
Guiding the Board OF Education were
given The appropriations for which
they ask. the deficit at the end OF next
year might reach some such an amount
The Information for which you ask
can probably be obtained from Mr..
Charles Forwood, chairman OF the
finance committee OF City Council
"As 10 the increase In taxes, 10 would
only seem reasonable that since II cost
an ordinary family from two 10 three
times as much TO live as II did Ave

II did flve years ago While the assess
