A QUESTIONABLE LETTER.
Ebert, April, 1920.

Mr. Editor Elbert Tribune.
Dear Sir: VIII You please ans
wer a few question for me as | am
anxious to know the truth and be
satisfied about some things that |
have read?
In the first place, see in Cappers'
Weekly, that the present Admins
tration is very extrayagant, and what
looks to me like incompetence in the
way the vast sums of money are be-
ing squandered, and the way that
the affairs are being run now and
in the past or years, is alarming
and If the same continues much
longer 1t will result in chaos. Now
we hear of investigating the food
profiteers. What has been the re-
suit? We all know that prices are
not lowered to the consumer yet.
Who is to blame? My opinion is
hat it is the Administration. and If
hat Is the case, they are either in
'ompetant to run our affairs, or
hey are rascals, and in the wrong
| place. Its not in Washington they
ought to be, but in Limbo. If they
IRE incompetent fire them out l
| hey are rascals, Limbo for them.
| md as President Wilson is running
| he business 1t seems to me he is
-esponsible for the way it is being
run.
The election will soon be here
/ and | suppose the different candi-
dates will all promise to give the
people what they need if elected.
They have all promised that in the
past, and we can see what we have
got.
! think we need a change in af-
fairs and need it bad. oh, for an
other Lincoln to free the people from
their slavery. He was the man of
peace at all times, and his sympathy
was always with the Working Glass;
trying to uplift them at all times.
But now it seems as If the order un-
der the present Administration is
to tax the poor man so hard that
he has to half starve himself to live
If these things are true, please
publish 1t, if it is not true let the
people know the truth.

NEWLY ELECTED BOARD TAKE
UP DUTIES.


Last Wednesday evening the new
ly elected Town Poard OF Elizabeth
were sworn into Office by the going
out old Board
The old Board negotiated neces-
sary business, as the issuing of war
rants, etc. to clean up the bills out
standing, as near as possible, that
had been incurred during their adj
ministration.
The new Board is made up of six,
men, three OF whom are serving their
first term as members of Town
Board and Municipal Heads. The
other three trustees have been on
Boards, previously. Mr.. Frank
NJ. Wetmore is mayor of our city.
Under their administration, which
includes one year. this new board
is planning obiectives, of which we
and many others are greatly in fav-
or.
We might mention here the plans
of their action thus far. Firstly:
To secure money to give the Hall a
much needed coat of paint. This
plan Is to be Offset by the hall. it
self. the intention of the board is
to give a series of dances on sched
uie dates for this purpose alone.
Another. is that some one mem
br or comittee of the Board. win
have absolute charge of the hall at
all times. and any damage done
during the hiral OF the hall, party
OF tine first part win be held re-
here, is that the rental of the hail
is $1,000 per night used, and the
party renting hall should check all
defects before taking it, as the com
mittee in charge viii check same as
soon as key is returned.
Speaking from official information
the new Board was left with a
small sum of money in the treasurery
The largest amount of this sum is
prescribed for the Drainage Improv-
ment. and cannot be used for any
oher purpose. but that; the balance
a miserable. handicapped sum. is
the General Town Fund, and which
Is not enough to start work, on what
really needs the attention. The
new Board realizes that they must
econmize, and will used every meth
cd to do so.
Another object in the minds of
the Board is to buy all outstanding
bonds against the city, they can,
within the means OF the treasurery.
This buying of the towns issue
means a saving and. money made.
Citizens of Elizabeth, we are not
insrigators, aggitators. holy. right
eous nor what not; but we want to
see Elizabeth become a real town,
more SO than what 1t is at the pres
ent, with external appearances of
town; not village; and to gain
this. we say pull together. When
It comes to municipal business, back
up what the board is working for,

BIC PROBLEMS Up
TO SCHOOL BOARD

The two newly appointed members
OF the Board of Education, Edwin C.
Graham and Daniel A. Edwards. have
been invited to attend the meeting of
the board this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock in. the Franklin School Build
ing, when questions of prime impor-
tance to Washington's educational
system will be brought up.
1t is expected that both new mem
bers will be sworn in this afternoon
provided they receive their commits
sions from the District Supreme Court
in time.
Emphasizing the fact that the most
important question before the board
is more adequate provision for new
schools, DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
lntendent OF schools, will bring to the
attention of the board congested con-
ditions in the local schools.
During the last Ave years there has
been an increase of 100 school chill
dren and only three new schools have
been built In that time. said DIR. Bal
lou.
One point in this connection which
may receive the attention of the
board is the proposal to convert "B"
building. OF the War Department at
use as an additional school, Recent
inspection of this building shows it
can readily be put to such use, al
though the question OF necessary ap-
propriations is a serious handicap.
Another objection is the fact that II
is situated where an additional school
is not needed, the congested sections
being mainly in Mt. Pleasant and
Parkwood.
1--WE must go to Congress with a
definite building program on which
all are united" said DIR. Ballou. IF
we wish to win our points there.
Personally, I believe that classrooms
are the most urgent need. Seventy
eight portables are now In use as ex-
ira rooms, with eighteen to twenty
more available"
Besides matters relating to the
housing situation. the appointment OF
teachers and matters relating to the
study programs in the night schools
also will come up before the board.
There Is still another point to be
threshed out this afternoon of vital
Importance to the schools affecting
the instruction hours OF teachers.
The advisability OF doing away with
the thrce-and- "A -hslf-hour schedule in
tho elementary schools will be consid-
cred with the probability that all
teachers in that department will be
required to put in fve hours a day.
The present method of crowding nve
hours work into a three-and "a half
hour day not only is n hardship on the
teachers, but on the younger pupils as
well. and methods to remedy this sit
uation will be considered seriously.

j. U.S.BUYSCOAL
AT LOW PRICE
Chief Engineer Pope, in Report
Cites Method, Whereby Capt.
tai Saws Fuel Cost.

How the Government obtains It's
coal at a much cheaper rate than
the consumers Of Washington, is
told in the annual report of George
S. Pope, chief engineer Of the Gov
ernment fuel yards. By system Of
cost accounting, Mr.. Pope is able
to supply all the Government de-
partments in the Capital and some
of the Government reservations
nearby with fuel at a lower cost
than they would be able to buy 1t
themselves. To the cost of the coal
plus he freight, Mr.. Pope has added
$l.lO a ton to pay or the hauling,
and in this manner he has made his
bureau self-supporting.
CITES DEPARTMENT PRICE LIST.
The price of coal to the Govern
ment departments and the District
government is $500 a ton for bi-
luminous coal, and for hard coal, the
kind that is used principally by the
householders OF Washington. The
price for egg coal was Sl2.34: white
ash stove, sl2.59; chestnut. Sl2.65 and
for pea, s10.61. The prices for the
same coal in Washington today as
listed by four OF the biggest coal
companies was: Egg from S14.65 to
S15.25: white ash stove. from $14.SO
to $1545; chestnut from $14S5 to
Sl5.35; pea from s12,1O to $3.50.
The Institution of Government
wards Mr. Pope SAWS in his renOrt.
not only avoids the possibility of a
coal shortage for the Government
here. but IT e:ects a material saving.
STORES COAL IN SUMMER.
1t has also been an important fac
tor in staring coal during the sum-
mer months for the departments that
have little storage facilities. During
the last fiscal year, the Government
fuel yards distributed 275,000 tons of
coal to 725 different points.
In the matter of stowage. the Gov
ernment fuel yards. by doing its own
work, has made a saving OF about
IS. 900 during the past coming year.
When the bureau was first formed,
IT was deemed advisable to have the
stowage done under contract. This
was done at a cost of about 50 cents
a ton After the bureau got under
way it was seen that this work could
be done cheaper by the Government
itself and during the past year 1T was
done by the Government at cost Of
40 cents a ton. .r-
During the year the gross profits Of
the Government fuel yards was $685.
924.37, the report states.

Church MUST GET
BUSY, SAYSGA|L0R
Bishop Tells S. S. Institute Edu-
cation Is Principal Need
of This Country.

, Pointing out that education in one
form or another is absolutely neces-
sary in order to maintain a free
government like that of the United
States, Bishop Gailor Of Tennessee,
delivered the principal address at the
twenty-fourth annual convention of
the Sunday School Institute, held at
Epiphany Church, on G street
The convention, which is intended
to stimulate interest in religious edu-
cation, is being attended by Sunday
school teachers from all over the
District of Columbia, and from the
Maryland counties of Charles, Prince
George Montgomery, and st. Mary's,
and it is being held under the au-
spices of the board of religious edu-
cation of the Episcopal diocese OF
Washington.
WHAT COUNTRY NEEDS.
"If | were asked to state what 10.
the principal need of this country at
this time" Bishop Gailor said, Il
should specify, first. oducation-sec-
ond. oducation-and, third, the right
kind of education. We believe this
country to be worth saving. It's
great principles are worth living and
dying for. We are quite young as
lasted 600 years, but it eventually died
because the people forgot the spiritual
and moral things of life. George
Washington said that our republic
would last as long as our moral ideas
last. SO, in order that our moral
ideas may endure, education In ono
form or another is absolutely neces-
sary
"We have had some rude shocks In
III
ued. 1--WE found that there were
40, 900 men in the first draft for tho
war who were absolutely illiteratc.
We have found that in this country
there are 5.O00,O 900 persons who can
not speak or write English. In Chi
cago there is a territory a mile and
a half square where no word OF Eng,
lish is spoken. In the United States
there are 10000, 900 persons who can
not read the Constitution OF the
United States in English.
CHURCH MUST GET BUSY.
Some one, some organization. cs-
pceially the church, has got to get
busy and transform these people; and
the best way to begin to transform
them. so that their real, their fervid
patriotism may be brought out, is to
begin in the Sunday schools of tho
church. and by teaching young par
ents their duty to their children"
The convention viii continue
throughout the afternoon and there
will be great public meeting at
Epiphany Church tonight at
o'clock, at which the principal ad-
dress win be delivered by Dr. VIII
liam Byron Forbush. OF New York.
president of the Childs Institute OF
America. His subject will be The
Religious Education OF the Young
Child"
