new TURBINE COST
TO be LOWER THAN
OFFICIALS EXPECTED

Only a few bids were received by
the board of public works Monday
afternoon for the proposed 5000 k. W.
turbine unit for the Richmond Mu-
nicipal Electric plant. The bids, how
ever, were surprisingly low. city Off
cials stated.
There is an available appropria ton
of $175,000 for the proposed unit. This
appropriation had been provided b.
council in anticipation that 1t would
be sufficient only to purchase the
equipment, the installation to be
made by the city. Council had fig
ured that the cost of having the unit
installed by the company receiving
the contract for the equipment would
be excessive.
Two of the bidding companies Mon
day offered to install the unit equip
ment complete at prices only a little
in excess of the $4,000 appropriation
''It is my opinion that the prices
offered to the city Monday are at least
$4,000 less than prices which would
have been submitted last summer"
Mr.. Lyon, consulting engineer for the
city, said.

The SHELDON Engineering company
of Toledo, bidding for the General
Electric company, submitted bid of

MANDATE COMMISSION
IS AMONG QUESTIONS
LEAGUE MUST DECIDE
CBy Associated Press)

GENEVA, Nov. 29.-The council of
the league of nations this morning ap-
proved the final draft of the project
for the permanent mandate commits
sion definitely accepting the tentative
proposal to have the commission COM
prise five non-mandatory and four
mandatory powers. 1t was decided
that all mem bers be chosen by the
council The council did not consider
today the proposed invitation to the
United States for it's participation in
the discussion over arma ment.
The committee on the admission of
new members finally agreed today
that it is impossible to admit now the
new states carved out of old Russian
territory. The theory of the commit
tee is that these states will eventually
form part of a new Russian confedera-
ton entirely changing their present
status. The committee will recon-
mend, however. that while these
states are not admitted to full mem
bership their delegates shall be al
lowed to sit in the assembly in con-
sulting capacity without the right to
vote.
Appointment Of a permanent man
date commission and election of sue
cessor to Sir Reginal Tower as high
commissioner at DanZig were two i'm
portant matters before the council of
the league of nations when il met here
today. 1t is believed that some of the
most important work before the coun-
Gil and the assembly of the league will
be accomplished during the coming
week. Committee reports are rapidly
being put into final form, and several
will be laid before the assembly be-
fore Saturday night, it is said:
Among the important questions
which will come before the assembly
this week is the question of admitting
Austria and Bulgaria to the league of
nations. Despite the strong opposi
ton of Serbia. Roumania and Greece
to the granting of membership to
Bulgaria at this time. a large majority
of the delegates seem in favor of TAX
ing that stop. There is virtually no
opposition in the case of Austria. the
application of which probably will be
favorably acted upon in a few days

Root Opposed For Cabinet Place;
Hill, Knox Acceptable to Leaders

1t is also true that Republican leaders
have the interest in cabinet appoint
ments which goes with their RESPONSE
bilities as party leaders but this. also
is an extremely tenuous excuse fol-
attaching great weight to what party
leaders say and feel.
Nevertheless, the fact Is that Repub
lican senators and Republican party
leaders do discuss cabinet possibilities
more than almost anything else. To a
good deal of this discussion | have
listened, and what is here set down
is confined exclusively to what is said
by these senators and leaders. moth
ing that is known to be or guessed to
be in Senator Harding's mind is here
included. Subject to these limitations,
let us consider the office of secretary
of state.
List Mentioned
A fairly complete list of the men
who are mentioned in this connection
would include the following:
Elihu Root, Senator Knox. David
Jayne Hill, Charles E. Hughes, Ex.
Senator George Sutherland of Utah
George Wharton Pepper, of Philadcl.
phia; Senator Lodge, and Senator
Fall. OF this group the first three,
Messrs. Root, Knox and Hill, are in
a class apart. Always bearing in mind
that nobody knows what may be the
governing considerations in Senator
Harding's mind, these three are un-
doubtedly to the front in the discus
sions Of party leaders and senators.
OF these three, Senator Root is con-
ceded by everybody. including those
who are working against him, to have
the largest equipment of experience.

WASHINGTON. y. c., Nov. % =
Discussion of cabinet possibilities is
entered upon with some distaste. The
cabinet is matter so completely with
in Mr.. Harding's control and discre-
tiOn that nothing authoritative can
possibly be said without a knowledge
of his mind, and knowledge Of his
mind is exactly what nobody is au-
thorized to convey
1t is true, of course. that cabinet ap-
pOintments, like all others. are subject
to at least perfunctory confirmation by
the senate. To that extent it is legi-
innate for senators to discuss the pos
sibilities, and for newspapermen to re-
port what senators say on the subject.
