an advocate of city ownership.
Major Henry H. Curran, the BE-

the nickel fare and has endorsed. in

the Transit Commissions findings.

that Major Curran represents the.

friends have claimed this committee
was appointed "to get something on
Hylan," charge which was empha

called upon to testify before the COM
mlttee, and some testimony has been
adduced tending to show irregulari-
ty in the police, dock and market de-
partments, no indictments have been
asked.
MAJOR Curran, who has long been
connected with the city government
IN various capacities, has claimed
that Mayor Hylan's administration
has been inefficient, that the vast
problems involved were too weighty
for a "short-sighted administration"
to handle. He has pointed out that
the running expenses of New York
amount to nearly a million dollars a
day and that the business of being
mayor simply means the immediate
application of business methods, with
a regard to planning for future
growth and development.
Major Currsn has pleaded for

Gas Industry Now
Is Facing a Third
Change in Method
tBy Associated Press1

Chicago, Oct. PAS a result of
increasingly heavy demands made
upon the oil resources of the nation,
the manufactured gas industry is
now on the verge of its third revolu-
tionary change-the radical reduc-
ton of the use of petroleum in its
manufacture-according to engineer
members of the American Gas asso-
citation, who will discuss this subject
at the annual meeting of the asso-
citation here on Nov. 7 to ~.
The gas industry of the United
States at present uses approximate
ly one billion gallons of oil annually
according to these engineers. High
prices of petroleum products, result
ing from their wide and varied use,
and the probability that shale oil
will not be a suitable substitute,
makes it practically certain that coal
will be the only fuel used in the fu-
ture by manufacturers of artificial
gas such as is used for cooking and
illuminating in the homes of 49,O00,-
900 Americans and in thousands of
industries, the engineers claim.

Next Saturday will SOC the close OF

ancient athletic rivals meet NJ Swarth-

aroused over football.
Last year marked the first Ilavcr-
ford Swarthmorc game and the Garnet
