MORE LEAVE CITY

Exodus of Polish Families for the Old

cies Report.
Whole families of Polish residents
are leaving the city almost daily en-
route for their old homes across the
water. They are taking with them the
money they have acquired here dur
ing several years of residence, a SUN
which in most cases will mean quite
comfortable circumstances in the
foreign land where prices and goods
are marked much lower and general
living conditions are much less ex-
pensiye than in the United States.
Yesterday a party of Is persons re-
ceived booking for Poland through
the George A. Quigley agency on Nam
street and left last night for New
York. These people boarded the
French liner, La France. They will
land at Havre and make connections
for the trip across to Poland where
they will be landed at the port of
Danzig, from there to travel into the
interior to their respective homes.

TWO PLATOON is
BELIEVED SAFE
Mayor Does Not Expect That Econ.
omy Will Necessitate Its
POstponement

The deficiency OF $4,000 in taxes
due the city, caused by, a mistake in
figures at the time the two-p1atoon
system was voted for the fire depart
ment, will not cause the city to lose
the two platoon system, according to
the opinion of Mayor Curtis.
At the time the city meeting took
up the question of the two-platoon
system, mistake was made in the
resolution calling for the appropria-
tons and after the meeting it was
found that instead Of voting for four
|tenths of mill tax for the system
only three tenths had been voted
This made the city taxes % mills in
stead Of 22.1, as was understood al
the meeting. The subsequent result
is that instead of there being $4,000
available for this system, that sum
has decreased to $4,000.
In commenting upon this subject
Mayor Curtis said he wanted it un-
derstood that the mistake was not
made by Corporation Counsel j. H
Kirkham, as has been stated. ,"I1
was not made in his office, nor was il
made in this Office" said the mayor
in declining to mention just who was
responsible for the mistake.
No official action will be taken tc
raise additional funds to make VI
the deficiency, it being the sentiment
at City hall that by saving anc
economizing wherever possible ~ the
city may get through it's fiscal yeal
without asking for additional appro.
priations, although it. is the opinion
of Mayor Curtis that the appropria
ton as whole will not be sufficien
to cover all cases.
When asked if this would affect tn,

piled: 1--WE don't expect it to-

Washington, Aug. 4.-No increase in
parcel post rates has been put in effect
and none is under consideration, Post
master General Hays stated today
Fear by. senators which led to publish
ed reports that higher rates were be-
ing charged, arose because an editor in
North Carolina was overcharged by the
local postmaster and promptly wrote an
editorial about the increased rates,
sending it and a letter to Senator Sim
mons
The editor objected to the charge on
forty-fve pounds OF paper from Rose
Hill to Smithfield. The regular rate is
40 cents but the postmaster. charged
him double that. An. investigation of
the parcel post service is under way
and postal officials think the service
should at least support itself.
