Money Shouts for the GOuldS ViScOntess AstOr Visits Ameri- ca-Ape Men Had No LOOms-NO Pay for Healthy Sick Po- licemen.

The police commissioners have re- pealed the provision which provided for sick pay for policemen. They have opened the way, for paying sick relief to those who are really sick. In Bridgeport in every part of the public service sick pay has been abused. It might more properly be called vacation pay. The really sick should not be neglected. The fakers, buffers and quitters should do their work. A condition of this sort is chiefly the result of poor supervision. The flesh is weak, and the temptation to take a day or two off, at city ex- pense, Is hard to resist, if superiors 5nterpose no objection.

New Regime Expects to Have
125 New Buildings Ready
Within Three Years.

A reorganization Of the Building Bu-
reau of the Department of Education
to eradicate inefficiency fostered by
antiquated methods was announced
yesterday by George J. Ryan, presi-
dent of the Board OF Education, stimuli
taneously with the announcement OF
the resignation Of C. B. j. Snyder, Su-
perintendent Of School Buildings, to
take effect January l. Mr.. Ryan said
the bureau had failed to supply plans
for schools to an ineXcusable degree.
although about ss0000,000 is waiting
to be put into school structures.
The chief feature OF the reorganiza-
ton will be the division Of 225 archi-
tectural craftsmen now employed into
groups of five and arrangement OF nearly
zoo more craftsmen to increase the out
put OF the bureau. Besides the new SUI
perintendent. whom Mr.. Ryan says has
not yet been decided upon, number OF
assistants will! be appointed.
Under the proposed rearrangement Mr..
Ryan expects TO produce plans for and

men will be able to produce a school
plan. using the standardized architec-
tural scheme, on an average OF every
three months, according to Mr.. Ryan,
who says In this manner all building
records for twenty years can be eclipsed.
There has been lack OF cooperation
and the Board Of Education Is criti-
cized." said Mr.. Ryan. IL don't care
how much they roast me as long as we
get results. School building has been
hanlpered by a lot Of tradition and the
department has got TO bo put on an alb
solutely business basis"
Superintendent OF School Buildings
Snyder has retired on account of his
health. He said yesterday he had had
no vacation since 1904 and felt the need
of q rest. President Ryan said he had
nothing against Mr.. Snyder and he felt

than one man could accomplish. For
this reason several assistants will be
appointed. Announcement OF the new

at q Cabinet meeting this afternoon
Premier Mussolini reported that the
London conference OF Premiers had
been unsatisfactory on account Of in
sufficient preparation. lie declared he
would not attend the Paris discussions
unless there were suitable diplomatic
preparation. He asserted there must
be no more going back on decisions,

Italian plan was one which. In his
opinion, must eventually be followed

no mention OF the United States. II
says. however, that not even the
wealthy countries on both sides OF the
Atlantic can escape the effects OF post
war conditions. II maintains that 1t
will be lniquitous TO ruin italy. France
and Belgium for the sake OF restoring
Germany. and that In dealing with the
reparations problem the interallied in
debtedness cannot be left aside.
Following are the principal points,
No partial settlement is Admirable
Italy cannot renounce any reparations
unless an equitable settlement of tho
interallled debt question enables N
Allies TO renounce IA corresponding por-
tion OF their reparatlons
The plan points out that England is
In a position 10 effect such settle

Italy" II says. frankly demands
this settlement from England on the
ground that the interalIied Indebted
ness. being Of special character, can
not be classed with ordinary debts. The
British Government and the most emf
nent Englishmen in trade and finance
realize that England cannot exact pay
ment Of these debts without flinging the
Allies into an abyss of political crises
and economic bankruptcy"
The Italian plan Is to deal with the
German 'C' bonds in such a manner
that they will practically be eliminated
and Germany's reparation debt be re-
duced to "a" and "B" bonds. or $4,000.
