Albert Slaps Municipal Expense

Allen D: Albert, one of the pioneers in the Rotary club movement, former editor of the Washington Times and Minneapolis Tribune, who is now blazing the trail in the new profes- sion of municipal diagnostician," by K his studies of the ills of 300 cities. He returned to Bridgeport yesterday and addressed two audiences at the High school auditorium.
 MT. Albert quoted figures compar- ing Bridgeport municipal expendi- lures with cities nearest it in popu- 1ation. He gave the per capita tax for operation of strictly municipal functions in Bridgeport for the fis- cal year of 1918 as s29.72, while the average for ten cities of Bridgeport's class was given as $S.96. The cost of the general departments of the city, he gave as 10 per cent. above ' the average.
 For fire protection, police and sani- ! tation, MT. Albert asserted, Bridge port was paying half again more than | the average, while for highways not { quite as much as the average was 1 paid. The expenditure for libraries ! was quoted one-seventh of the ! average, and for hospitals and cor rection one-haIf again more. For i schools Bridgeport just about reached : the average.
 On recreation, Bridgeport is slight 1 ly above the average of cities of it's I class NIT. Albert the
 municipal debt of Bridgeport at s5A ! per capita as compared with an aver- ago of $50.
 Commenting on the figures, MT. Al. bert said:
 ''I wish it were possible for me to ! say that I have found any evidence ] that this money is needed, for I have ! found none. I wish it were possible for me to say that the expenditures were more generous rather than more i careless, but I believe them to be 1 careless. l urge the necessity of be- : coming better acquainted with these figures in the light of the study now being made of the city's finances. I ! do not charge against any city official the misrepresentation of a dollar, and | I do not believe any has been taken, but the thing smells to me like the | long development of a political ma ! chine.
 Tt looks as though for years per- sons have been employed to provide thing might hang together as the Fundamental structure of a political machine kept in office by appealing to the 93 per cent. of the population you have substantially overlooked''
 MT. Albert praised Mayor Wilson for his advocacy of the commission form of government and declared it 2. step in the right direction but not a panacea.
 The speaker criticised school facili- ties here, saying:
 "Of the 39 school buildings of
 Bridgeport not one of them meets the general American standard as to space required, and not a single one of them meets the full test to fire proofing."
 He said that a. public school burns
 in America for every day of the year, and asked that the children in tho schools be made at least safe as the money in the banks
 Three things in the Bridgeport schools, MT. Albert found worthy of high praise: the devotion of the teaching force. the care given the health of the children and the method of teaching c1vics.

F. Cath, Muscatine, of $4,000 in a

ust. 1920 The case had been con-
tfnued 10 days in Davenport while
Peoria authorities obtained extradi-
ton papers to return Gleason for
trial.
bryS0n DeIvers Fugitive
Gleason disappeared shortly after
gaining his release, and his bonds
men started search for him. Glea-
son was found by Mr.. Bryson at a
Moline hotel Aug. 16, and was
placed in the hands of the. Moline
police.
The bondsman holds that mas
much as the prisoner was delivered
to the Peoria authorities through
him. the bond furnished by him can
not be declared forfeited by the
court. Having delivered the pris-
Oner, Mr.. Bryson says he has no
further interest in the Gleason case
than to be released from the bond.
Peoria advices say that attorneys
for the alleged confidence game
man will file habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in an effort to have the
court fix bond lower than $4,000,
which is now demanded for the re-
lease of the prisoner pending trial
on the charge of having swindled
the Muscatine man. Another
charge against Gleason is filed in
Chicago. and has to do with the al
legged swindling of William Gable,
Rock Island bar keeper, in a fake
board of trade deal in Chicago a |
year ago.
