PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAL.

Judging from the reports which have
come gurgling In to us from Cuba. one
might we'll suppose that life on that wet
little island Is a bed of roses or gin
blossoms to say the least. But we have
been deceived. The housing situation
there Is very severe, says Frederick
Randall, vice-president of the Queens
boro Corporation. which built the model
apartment colony at Jackson Heights.
Queens
Mr.. Randall returned home last week
on the United Fruit liner Calamares
With a story of building and real estate
conditions In Havana which makes old
New York look like the birthplace of
normalcy. Many housing projects were
started In the Cuban capital. says Mr.
Randall. but business depression made
their completion impossible.
All over the city. says Mr.. Randall.
the frameworks Of houses rise like skeIe-
tons to mark the death of the construc-
tion boom. Houses are half built, with
scaffolds and lumber and bricks lying
about because of the lack of money to
further the building of homes.
Mr. Randall Is an expert on building,
but We are just wee bit inclined to
think that he has ascribed the cessation
OF construction in Havana to the wrong
cause. The root of the whole trouble
we firmly believe, is that the high wages
offered to brisk bartenders have lurcd
most of the workers away from the
building trades. ..

TRASH CAN AND SIDEWALK
SIGNS FIND LITTLE FAVOR

The Council last night heard the
sixth request for permission to place
25 or 80 large covered trash cans,
bearing advertising, on the streets of
the city without cost. Mr.. Burks,
chairman Of the committee handling
such matters, said he had recommen-
ded against such applications before
and would not recommend this one,
but would like to see one before
passing final judgment. The matter
went to his committee for action.
Mayor Sheppard reported that the
practice of defacing the sidewalks
with painted signs had been called to
his attention, and on suggestion of
Alderman Burke, following disap-
ployal of the practice by Alderman
Taylor, the ordinance committee was
instructed to report at the next ses-
sion of council an ordinance prohib-
iting such practices in the futu<-.

PLENTY WATER,
TOO MUCH LOAD
And Price Would Be Prohibitive.
Is Information From Council
On Swimming Pool Request

That the city has an abundance
of water, but cannot afford to add
such an extra burden to its pumping
system as would be required to sup
ply the swimming pool, and also
could not furnish a supply of water
at price that the Playground could
afford to pay was the information
that came out last night at the city
council meeting during and after the
appearance of j. Ralston Cargill,
head of the Playground, and commit
tees of the three civic clubs, to ask
the council to make a price on a
temporary supply if it had the water
to furnish. After Mr.. Cargill had
explained the situation, practically
as outlined in advance in this paper
yesterday, the matter was referred
to the water committee with instruc-
tions to report back to the council
its recommendation
Mr.. Cargill impressed that he
wanted no gift, having pledged the
council when the Playground was
purchased that it would never be ask
ed for anything more for this prop
erty. He said, however, that a tenn
porary supply was needed until the
pool we'll was completed or tested,
and he asked information which he
might lay before the Playground as
sociation.
After the meeting, in informal
discussions, City Engineer Wheatley
stated that the city has an abudn-
ance of water, but said the plant
should not be given an extra load
of the size needed to supply the pool
10000 gallons per day. He said
the city is now pumping 600,0GC
gallons a day for its own use, which
requires IL hours. During the 9TH
er IL hours, he said, the machinery
is constantly being overhauled and
kept in shape. He said the plant
could handle the extra load, which
would require 8 extra hours of pump
ing, but should not be required to
do so.
Mr.. Burke stated that the city is
now losing money on its water de-
partment, instead of making a good
profit as citizens generally suppos-
ed and been led to believe, and that
every 1000 gallons pumped was
costing 20 cents, the household rate
charged, and that on the two or three
large consumers which had rate of
Is cents the city was losing heavily.
He said that even at the Is cent rate
the needed water for the pool would
cost the Playground association $27
a day, which would be prohibitive.
'The only way to complete the
pool and put it in operation" said
he, "is to sell more pool bonds. I'll
buy S25 wordl more and / am sure
many others will do the same. / am
not against the pool. | have built a
gate through my back fence to make
it convenient to get to the pool from
my home for bathing during the sum-
mer. B ut | can't see how the city
can possibly furnish the water at
rate which the pool could pay"

STREET TAX COLLECTING

The city police in all probability

tax, Alderman Warren asked last
night in city council to have the po-
lice assist in this matter. Mayor
Sheppard said he would make such
recommendation to the police
board today, with all likelihood of
such an order being issued.

yield will not miss the 10,000O00
mark by a bakers dozen.

THE gumshoe method of cam.
paigning generally practiced by
the Republican leaders is an in
sidious way of reaching the voter.
But by this method the disgrunt-
led primary voter can be Coddled
and an imaginary grievance dis
torted until it looks.sas big as a
mountain. When you hear a
Republican sympathlze with you
because your primary favorite
failed of lbeing nominated, you
can put himsdown as a wolf Sin
sleeps clothes; and rest assured
that he don't give a continental
cuss about you or your primary
candidate but is simply trying to
induce you to bolt your party.
Mighty few genuine Democrats
will swallow such bait.
