DR.. Gregory agreed with the govern

that Probst may have had delusions
that he has possibly drawn wrong con-

is mentally sick, Dr. Gregory declares,
but merely lovesick.

members of the Board of Estimate as
to how to raise $1,200,000 for salaries
of the 1892 additional ratrolmen
granted to the Police Department is by
special revenue bonds, These would
have to be provided by the Board of
Aldermen and the board is already
practically committed to an issue of
approximately s1,377,ooo out of a
s2,ooo.ooo annual emergency issue per-
mltted by law. The problem is one
that is bothering the city fathers
Members of the Board of Aldermen
admitted yesterday that they didn t
see how the money was coming from
that source, and declared they needed
all that was left for other emergencies
that might arise in the various city de-
partments during the remainder of the
year. They said it would leave them
"penniless and hopelessy unable to
supply other needs that were bound to
arise.
William T. Collins, majority leader
and ViceChairman of the Board of
Aldermen, asked where the money was
coming from, said:
THE Board of Aldermen will give
all it can-all it has. 1t can do no
more. Don't ask me where the money
is to come from or how it is going to
be raised. The Finance Committee of
the Board will have to decide that.
don't know just what disposition is to
be made Of the special revenue bond
requests pending in the board. That
will be another task for the Finance
the money is raised by special revenue
bonds in the board, it means that we
will be penniless so far as special
revenue bonds are concerned for the
remainder Of the year"
Members of the Finance Committee
had no suggestions to make The
matter probably will come before the
Aldermen at the meeting, when
formal request for the issue of bonds
is expected from the Board of Est-
mate.
The provision in the City Charter
is specific and final in precluding the
board from issuing more than S2,000,000
of special revenue bonds in any one
the year the board has been called upon
to issue $635,000 of these bonds. In
addition, there are special orders of the
Board of Aldermen, also calls for
$195,000 in bonds, and in the Finance
Committee there are pending further
requests for $546,0Oo special revenue
bonds. This makes a total of 81 ST.,
900, to which the board is already COM
mitted or for which requests are pend
ing.
Among these items is the sum of
$4,000 for the operation of municipal
fcrryboats between Manhattan and
Brooklyn and $4,000 for the improve
ment of Highland Park in Brooklyn.
There are other large items to which
special bond issues have been pledged.

for 1920 showed that in December,
1919, Representative Blanton drew
his entire stationery allowance Of $125

and Summers did the same on several
occasions, and that in 1921 peport it
was shown that Representative Mon
dell, of Wyoming, the Republican
leader, drew $9.45 in stationery and
the balance Of s115.55 in cash.
After quoting what was said in the
House by Representative Barley,
Democrat, of Kentucky, regarding the
purchase by Blanton of a whisky flask
at Philadelphia through the stationery
room, the resolution continued:

tionery room did have on sale there

What's New
The Market
by Rex Stewart

In spite of fluctuations Of flour
prices in eastern trade centers,
merchants here anticipate little
change. Pacific coast millers
stand together fairly well on
prices and do not follow the
market closely, all of which helps
to stabilize conditions throughout
the west.
Large sized oranges will be
quoted as high as so cents doz-
en- within the near future If pres
ent wholesale prices are maintain
ed. This rise of the larger sizes
may be accompanied by decrease
in price of smaller ones because Of
the greater supply of the latter.
There is plenty of fine cauli-
flower, lettuce and celery on the
market this week at reasonable
prices.
If halibut and steelhead salmon
are too high at their present price
of 25 and 80 cents, buy herring,
which is offered at Is cents a

ed that the council consider some
street cleaning device SO that the
city streets may be kept in a more
sanitary and artistic condition. He
asked that no great amount Of
street Improvement in the way OF
paving be considered for the en-
suing year due to the financial en-
barrassment in the country at the
present time. He urged that all
committees be cautious in the pur-
chasing of materials so that the
expenses be kept to minimum
and that competition be consid-
cred when materials are to be pur-
chased.
The mayor specifically urged an
ordinance against trucks, stages
and autos for hire which are oper-
ating into and from the city of
Dallas. He deems the ordinance
advisable for the protection of
home people and the railroad. He
believes that the people could get
along without the gas vehicles but
that they cannot get along with
out the railroads and the business

affected by the out-of-town opera
