Charles G. Dawes Reveals a
Huge Deficit in the
Department.
BALANCE SHEET PREPARED
Report of the Former Director OF the
Budget Shows a Shortage of S16.-
10000 for First Quarter
of 1922.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Gen. Charles G..
Dawes made public here the sup
pressed balance sheet Of the postoilce
department of the United States gov
eminent.
For the first time in the history Of
this country" the former director or
the budget asserted, there was pre-
pared not only a balance sheet OF the
post Office departments in terms under-
standable by the average man, but a
report in the accepted business FORM
of the current operations of the de-
partment for the first quarter Of this
year."
This report shows a deficit OF Sl6,-
$4,000 for the first quarter of l922.
This Is at the rate of $64,000,0OO for
the year.
For years the public has been given
the impression that the post Office de-
partment was self-sustaining or nearly
so. Government ownership advocates
continually use the federal postal sys-
TEN as an efficient revenue producing
institution as an example which it
would be well for the city of Chicago
to follow.
The postal system has been repeat
eddy urged, locally and nationally, as
model of government operation on
proflt-making basis.
The report made public by General
Dawes indicates that emphasis should
be placed on "other causes" when the
department as on Dec. 3-ascrlbes the
deficit for this year to fire, burglary,
and other causes"

HIGHWAY LINK

NEARLY BUILT
Few Days Work Will Complete
Connection Between Belt
Road~and Paving.

Only two or three days of work yet
remain before the federal aid highway
connecting Second avenue north and
the Belt road is completed, City Engi-
neer NJ. l.. Morris announced Monday.

CURED only three or four days, this

The wheat market opened on the

the Turks brought a sharp upturn and
after that the bear side was at q. dis

New York Market
INANCIAL

New York, Nov. 6.-Speculators fol
the decline, finding the stock market in
a weakened technical position, as g
result Of the RAPID advance of last
Thursday and Friday, Monday took ad
vantage of the unfavorable Near East
ern news and the unwilIingness of
traders TO carry stock over the holiday,
forcing down prices one to three points.
Uncertainties regarding the outcome
of tomorrow's elections and the dispo-
sitions of traders to await more de-
finite developments in Turkey before
extending their commitments resulted
in considerable less activity. Total
sales aggregated only 100000 shares, as
against the ~million-share average Of
the last week.
The reactionary movement extended
over most of the list, but pressure was
concentrated in the last hour on the
Erie issues on reports of a strike of
employees of the Pennsylvania Coal
n of its principal coal
properties.
Announcement by the American Rail
way association that the demand for
traffic facilities had caused the greatest
car shortage in history failed to check
the decline in the standard rail shares,
losses of a point or more being sustain
ed by several.
Chain store shares were bid up in
spirited fashion on reports Of better
business and possible extra DIVIDEND
disbursements. Woolworth crossed
double par, closing at 20412, a net gain
of IT points, on the day.
Copper shares were strong in early
dealings, but they forfeited most Of
their gains in the final reaction.
Dome mines established a new top
at 461a in speculative expectation of
Al extra cash dividend, but ia slumped
later to 43.
= Profit taking and short selling in the
oil shares caused some substantial re-
cessions. Mexican Petroleum dropped
nearly three points and losses of l 20 2
were sustained by Standard Oil of New
Jersey, Royal Dutch. and General
Asphalt. Steels offered better resistance
TO pressure, most of them yielding only
fIactionally.
Call money opened at 5 per cent n
then advanced to 5k. The time money
rate held at five per cent with com
paratively little business. Only a re
latively small amount of new COM
mercial paper is coming into the mar
ket.
Seriousness of the Near East stu
alton was reflected in the heaviness
~ foreign exchange rates, French
francs and German marks dropping to
new low levels for the year. Sterling
also reacted more han one cent to
4.449s a large volume of grain and
cotton bills being contributing factors.
