of the highway commission under the
old law, which was contested In the
courts and finally supplanted by the law
under which the commission now OPP
crates. The report gives short financial
statements for each fiscal year from
June 4, 1917, when the old commission
was formed, until the present date.
The statement shows the following:
June 4, 1917, to Sept. 80, 1917-Re
ceipts from inheritance tax and appropri-
atoms, $314,57099; salaries and expenses,
81, 1902; balance 1906, 790O7.
Oct. l, 1917 to Sept. 80, 1918-receipts,
inceipts, including balance brought over
Oct 1, 1917 to Sept. 80, 191S-Receipts,
including balance brought over and
inheritance tax, S842, 46610; disburse-
ments, including salaries, expense and
equipment, S26,S73.67; balance, SS15, 592. 43.
Oct l, 1919, to Sept. 80, 1919-Receipts,
including balance brought over $1,261,-
G1O42; expenditures, listed as "sundry
distribution" $116,020 Il; balance, $1.145,-
59O2S.
During all of this time not one contract
for road work was let.
While the letting Of the contract for
the garage is questionable, to say the
least, the commission did not go so far
as to ask bids on materials and sup
plies, according to the report.
COMPETITIVE BIDS
NOT SHOWN IN RECORDS.
Thousands Of dollars have been ex-
pended by the commission for tools, i'm
PIGMENTS, material, etc, and If there has
been the proper competitive bidding the
records fail to show it," the report says.
The report calls attention to the plans
of the commission to permit the director
to buy cement for road construction. 1t
warns that if this material is bought 1t
must be contracted for after competitive
bids have been received.
Another questionable expenditure, the
report points out, is that of payment
of $1,000 for the testing of materials,
whereas the law provides this shall be
done by Purdue University.
The report does not go into the ques-
ton of the letting Of actual construction
contracts. 1t says nothing about the
practice Of the commission in asking for
contracts on various materials and then
letting contracts for nothing but con-
crete roads.
The report was made by W. H Glide
well and A. L. Donaldson, field exam
liners.
Members Of the highway commission
are Charles W. Zeigler. John Oliphant,
Earl Crawford and Archie Campbell.

QUESTION MEANING
OF STATEMENT.

What would be the meaning Of the
above excerpt?
Does it mean to imply that no plans
and specifications had been made. If so,
what about the plans OF Harrison which
he himself says were to cost 211 per cent
and which was included in the bid Of
Wacker?
We Insist that the record Of the meet
ings should be clear and definite and
should show all the action taken by the
commission.
The report shows that on numerous
dates between March ,, 1920, and Jan. 81.
1921, Mr. Wright withdrew from the pub
lie depository various sums ranging from
90 cents to $147 ,S0S.50 and deposited 1t in
the Aetna Savings and Trust Company.
The total Of these deposits, according to
the report, was 1882, 696O8.
The report states:
The deposits Of L. II. Wright, direc-
tor, in the Aetna Trust and Savings Com
pany We're withdrawn on personal checks
signed Il H Wright, director and, in
q few instances, the account was over
drawn. These overdrafts were sometimes
only apparent, for on days on which the
banks statement shows the account over
drawn, there was In fact, a healthy bal
ance To illustrate: On Dec. II, 1920,
the bank statement shows an overdraft
Of S1S.54452. The bank passbOOk shows
that almost 100000 was deposited on
that day, but not credited on the banks
on the 18th there would have been no
Overdraft on THAT day.
AVERAGE DAILY
BALANCES SHOWN.
The report then shows the average
daily balances for each month, ranging
from 81 ,93OS1 in March to SIS, S1092 the
following January. From these balances
the interest Of S44397 Is calculated.
The report then continues:
We hesitate to make a direct charge
Of the above depository interest, but sub
nit that the State DID lose it by this
method of handling the fund, which
should not have happened. The argu'
ment has been advanced that the Aetna
Trust and Savings Company carried over
drafts several times for a few days. If
1t did that WAS voluntary service for
which no compensation could be claimed.
But st the same time, and ALL the time,
there has been a large balance in the
fund Of the State highway commission
in the various repositories Of the State,
available for use any day. The handling
of this account, as shown herewith. only
emphasizes the recommendations made
in another part of this report that the
auditor of State should draw all war
rants direct 10 the person to whom pay
ment is due.

MISS CLARKsoN's RECITAL.

Miss Margaret Clarkson, soprano. gave
a recital yesterday afternoon in Aeolian
Hall with the excellent aid OF Richard
Hageman at the piano. Her programme
was more ambitious than wise The
young woman was extremely nervous at
the beginning OF her entertainment but
was more at ease later. However, her
vocal technic was not equal TO the task
she had set herself. and her chief claim to
consideration was pretty voice, with
which something may perhaps be done
after more study.

Served as Commissioner in

age Of 63 years IN New York Hospital
following a long illness. While attend

SURVIVAL OF FITTEST
is MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
Attention Fails to Reveal
What Play Ic About.

Survival OF the Fittest," by George
II. Atkinson. was the name OF a COM
position offered TO the public last night
at the Greenwich Village Theatre. 1t
was a mysterious affair. The pro-
gramme said that the action passed in
a greenhouse on Long Island. The
three acts seemed to be of the present
day. But the author felt the necessity
of some explanation on that point.
"The action takes place now" read a
compact little note. though the story
might have antedated the present time
by thousand or two years"
This may have been true, but since,
with the closest attention, II was inn
possible TO discover what the story was,
the enlightenment contained in these
words was not important. 1t was easy
to see that George lie Guere, wh6 boast
ed Of weighing 122 pounds. although he
did not look 1t, became betrothed TO
Miss Laura Nelson Hall. who Is about
the tallest actress on the American
stage and well proportioned. Her
father was a physician, and cautioned
the young man that the disproportion
was dangerous. Then a girl of ninety
nine pounds promised TO be the wife Of
q captain Of industry. who, in spite Of
his great strength and vitality, was sus-
pected Of being In poor health.
There were other actors OF mixed sizes
and weights. ranging from Montarri
Love, who was, In the opinion OF the
medical man, so strong that he Is dam
gerous 10 society, down TO Grant Stew
art, whose force was altogether cere-
bral. They were all equally powerful "a
conversationalists. When it became
plain shortly after Q o'clock that moth
ing they said was going to dissolve the
mystery OF the proceedings. the audienc,
settled down TO the enjoyment OF a quia.
evening in the Bramhall Theatre style.
PhlegTnatic spectators fell asleep. The
more nervous giggled lntermittentiy. Oc-
casionally the whole audience burst into
laughter.
The author in a supplementary note
said the play represented "the struggle
for life In the plant. the animal and the
human kingdoms" Perhaps that was IT,
after all. But without that note nobody
in the theatre would have suspected
what II was about.

MANAGERS INVITED
TO EQUITY CONFERENCE
VieWs Sought on Equity Shop
Enforcement Up To-day.

There was a meeting of the Council
Of the Actors Equity Association yester-
day at 1l5 West Forty-seventh street,
which various producing managers
were invited to attend, and to offer any
suggestions they might wish to make as
to methods Of enforcing the Equity
Shop"
II was stated after the meeting that
the fear expressed by some Of the man
ayers. who We're represented at the meet
ing. that the Equity shop might de-
velop later into undue dictation by the
Actors Equity Association in the cast
ing of plays was dissipated after discus
sion.
The meeting, according to Frank Gill
more. executive secretary, Is proof that
the equity is anxious TO cooperate with
the managers in the functionlng OF the
equity shop measure.
Our council meets again tomorrow,
said he, TO decide on the latitude and
longitude as IL were Of equity shop
enforcement. We wished to learn the
independent managers views, and, 10
quote our invitation TO them, we were
glad TO discuss the manner in which
Equity Shop can be put into effect with
the least amount OF inconvenience to all
concerned The council feels the con-
ference was successful and instructive
70 degree. and that the point raised
to-day will aid greatly In outlining to-
morrow the Equity Shop policy toward
the New York independent producers"
IL could not be learned who the
managers were who attended, but Henry
Miller. one of those invited, telephoneo
from Detroit In Which he said:
Concerning your wish and that OF
tie council for any suggestion whereby
rne Equity Shop could be enforced with
the least amount Of convenience. de-
plore that know Of no such an9sthesia
which viii enable the Equity Associa-
tion 10 deprive any actor or actress O;
his liberty Of thought or right to fol-
low his profession without their experi-
ercing considerable Inconvenience"
