SUBURBAN ROADS
| IN NEED OF REPAIRS
Appropriations Not Keeping
Pace With Increase in
Cost of Work.

Failure of appropriations to keep
pace with the increase in the cost OF
doing repair work is held by the Com
missioners to be the chief reason for
the present rocky condition of many
of the suburban roads of the Dis
trict
I'VE do not attempt to defend the
condition of the suburban roads. said
kutZ today. I'VE admit they are not in
good condition. but we feel that we
have done the best we could with
the funds available"
No Work This Spring.
No repair work has been done since
spring weather set in. because the
, appropriation of 100000 for repair:
to suburban roads for the present
fiscal year became exhausted several
weeks ago.
The Commissioners asked Congress
for deficiency item of $4,000 to
carry on suburban road work from
now until July. but Congress reduced

yet law. AS soon as this money
becomes available the engineer de-
partment will be able to work on thu
worst stretches of road until the APP
preparations for the next fiscal year
are passed.
Motor Truck Cuts Roads.
The steady development of the heavy
motor truck in commercial hauling
also is responsible to a degree fol
the difficulty in maintaining suburban
roads. Commissioner kutz believes.
ENGINEERS everywhere recognize
the fact" said the Commissioner.

preparations. Commissioner kutz
pointed out that the s145,000 allowed
for suburban repairs in 1916 went
further than the 100000 allowed for
the present fiscal year.
Table Of Road Costs.
Although the cost Of repairing sub
urban roads has practically doubled
since the war. appropriations have
not been increased to that extent, as
shown by the following table:

To the Editor Of The STAR
The Chilean Society for the Propaga-

attributed to Senator Norris of Ne
braska.
In Washington news. dated March
1 18th last, the Senator is quoted as stat
ing that "the price of nitrate of soda is
fixed in London by a commission on
which two representatives of the Chilean
government have seats"
The price of nitrate of soda is fixed
in Valparaiso by the board of directors
of the Nitrate Associa ton. on which four
mcnt serve.
The demand for nitrate of soda in the
United States. while constantly aug
menting, is about One-third less than
the demand in Europe. SO that much the
larger purchases are made by agents in
London of British and continental buy
ers. They have bid for as much as
100000 tons at a time for delivery
distributed over a year Nevertheless.

interests as separate entity.
] may add that the present price of
nitrate of soda in the United States is
less than the price in Europe and that
it is relatively lower in the United
States than before the war. considering
tho higher cost of production (nearly
double) due to the prevailing high labor
wage. cost Of fuel. bags. etc. and the
higher rates of freight-about three for
one.
For many purposes nitrate of soda
has no efficient substitute. and for the
purposes that other commodities can be
used it is below parity in price, even
when the moderate export duty, which
is paid to the Chilean government. upon
all nitrate of soda exported is added to
it. WILLIAM S. MYERS.
