in temporal control Of the city. The
Allies move the pieces one way and

and it remains unsolvcd.

81 or three men familiar with the port

"A belt line railroad, was the an

"A belt line railroad with empha

Philadelphia owns a belt line rall

least controls one. 1t is organized
under the laws Of the state and ri per

lack of money. which the city canuot

What is known as the South Phila

greater port facilities. South Philadel-
phia particularly is interested in it.
Railroads Made Pact
In 1914 the city entered into an
agreement with the PENNSYLVANIA. the

and the Belt Line Railroads for the abo-

OF tracks and the improvement of the
water front from Christian street

" Hson Likely TO Take Hand

Ledger
Washington. March 5.-The ad-
ministratiou is not deeply concerned
over the present plans of the Allies to
leave the Turk in Constantinople. II
is felt here that this disposition Of the
Turkish problem is merely tentative and
that Lloyd George is already beginning
TO yield to the pressure of religious
opinion in England against leaving the
Turk in Europe.
Another factor in the situation is
Russia. The Allies are on the point OF
making peace with Russia. And it is
not believed here that Constantinople
can be left out of consideration when
peace is made with Russia The Soviet
government recently indicated that il
would insist upon the treaties which
England and France made with Rus
Sia during the war. in which CONSTANT
uople was to be given to Russia.
The possession of Constantiuople has
been the historic ambition of Russia
which il has sought aS an ice free port
in Europe. Moreover. Russia has reli-
GiouS interest in Constantinople similar
to that of the Turk. Constantinople is
the ancient capital of the Greek Church
as it is Of the Moslem Church. Leaving
il in the possession of the Turk will
probably make it a source of future
war. And it is as absurd a disposition
Of the present Turkish capital, in the
opinion OF the American Government. as
would be the leaving Of Fiume in the
hands of Italy.

Maryland May Lose One Con-
gressman.

Maryland is one of the ten States that
will lose members Of the House of Repre-
sentatives If the apportionment bill under
the census of 1920 does not add IS to the
already unwieldly House Of AIS. The
census of 1890 provided for a House Of
106 members. and there has been an in
crease every ten years, with one exception
although the basis has risen with each
decade-from 10000 in 1870. A reduc-
ton in the size Of the House was forced
by the Senate in 1910, from 242 to 232
Unless under the new apportionment, some
States are unable to retain their present
representation, there will be no hope fol
keeping the total membership under 500
In 1910 the population Of the United State,
was 91,972,266. 1t is now estimated al
106.OOO.O00.
Missouri. Indiana and Iowa will lose two
members each If the attempt to keep down
the size of the House is successful, and
Maryland, Maine, Illinois. Kentucky. Ne
braska. Vermont and Virginia will lose one
each.

Governor To Survey The State
Departments.

Governor Richie said last week that he
had decided not to name commission to
make study Of the State departments
and institutions. preliminary to framing a
plan for reorganization of the States gov
ernmental machinery In the interest Of
greater efficiency and economy, but to do
the work himself with the aid principally
Of regular governmental agencies.
The survey of all the States business and
the reorganization plan the Governor
hopes and expects to make the big
achievement of the first half of his adj
minstration. He included in his budget
an appropriation of $4,000 to cover the
cost Of the work, and announced at the
time that he proposed to devote most Of
his time between the 1920 session Of the
Legislature and the 1922 session OF it. At
that time. however. he had not made up
his mind whether to name a commission
to aid him.

Would Offer Roads Bonds To The
Counties.

John N. Mackall, chairman of the State
Roads Commission, has written to the
Board of Public Works. suggesting that
the forthcoming $l,50O,O00 bond issue for
road construction be sold lover the coun-
ter" to such counties as wish to purchase,
the amount so purchased by any one
county not to exceed the funds allotted
for road work to that county and the pro-
ceeds to be expended in road construction
in that county.
Mr. Mackall's letter says:
Il believe you have advertised for bids
for $l.500,000 of State road bonds, to be
received on August 8. rather anticipate
from my conversations with you GENTLE
men that you will not receive bid at
price which you feel you can afford to
accept.
Several Of the counties have taken up
with me informally the matter of ascer-
tanning from you whether or not II you do
not award the bonds to the low bidder
you would fix a price at which you
would sell them over the counter TO
the people Of the several counties, the
amount to be sold in any county to be not
more than the amount Of the allotment Of
funds TO that county on the mileage basis
as provided for in the act
II the matter is legal and proper from
your standpoint see nothing unfair about
it from the State Roads Commissions
standpoint. 1t simply means that the
counties who will arrange for the pur-
chase Of such bonds can proceed with road
construction, and those which cannot will
have to wait until such time as the bonds
can be sold.
Federal aid, which is now available,
cannot be used because there are no funds
with which to match it or to finance the
Federal Governments portion during the
construction.
would be glad II you would advise me
at your convenience whether or not you
think well Of such proposition"
Owing to the prevailing high rates for
money. the market at par Of l-2 per
cent bonds-which is the rate Of the forth
coming issue-is regarded as almost out Of
the question. Chairman Mackall thinks,
however. that the plan he has suggested
might result in the disposition Of con-
siderable amount Of the issue-perhaps
100000 Of it-at price high up in the
nineties.
Il Is understood that the following coun-
