ON hand of that amount property worth
S243, 900, 900 and officials today expressed
the hope that Uncle Sans shelves could
be cleared in another six months.
The rate of return to the government
varied tremendously On one small lot of
lumber it received 116 per cent of what
it paid in war times on great mass of
gas masks sold for salvage the return
was one half of one per cent of what they
cost.
The average recovery during the year
for all classihcations is about ID per
cent. which under the circumstances is
considered very creditable,s the summary
said.
One restriction was the necessity of
making the war surplus available to all
classes of American citizens. rich or poor.
The sales We're conducted so that the
smallest retailer might have his chance
and the public auction system of small
lots was followed for this reason. Sim
ilarly. SSaleS We're arranged at army
store houses all over the country in order
that all who wished might inspect and
bid.
Very few sales. it is stated. We're made
on other than a strict cash basis. There
has been insistent pressure that the sur
plus stocks be converted into cash as
rapidly as possible in order that the
treasury might have the benefit of that
income in meeting other government obi
cations.
Under this pressure, the war depart
ment adopted u policy of accepting the
highest cash offer made even though II
could have obtained better prices by
granting a little time to other prospee
tive purchasers

 ID BOOKS OF
 HYDRAULIC co,
City of Bridgeport Would Learn Owners of Water Stock.

Strenuous objection was raised by counsel for the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company when Corporation Counsel Cornell of Bridgeport asked the Pub lie Utilities Commission in Hartford yesterday for an order calling upon the company to submit to an examina- ton of it's stockholders holdings so that it could be aScertained whether large blocks of stock were held by certain individuals. The request came during a continued hearing on the petition of the Hydraulic com pany for authority to charge the City of Bridgeport increased rates for water service. The case already occupied several days before the com mission about two weeks ago, and was continued to yesterday. Argu ments will agaiI. be heard by the com mission today.
 The company contends that the market for it's stock is limited and that it's revenue must be increased that the stock will become attrac- tive to prospective buyers Lawyer A. M. Marsh, representing the com pany. said that in his opinion the corporation counSePs request was an immaterial way of proving his point which was that people who desired to buy the stock are unable to get it. Mr. Marsh offered to have competent brokers testify that there was no market for the stock. He said he opposed any excursion into the per- sonalities of all the conpany's stock nOlQerSI and that the books Of the company show that the number of stockholders has steadily been in creased, which disproved the city's contention that the stock was held by the same group which individual iy owned it.
 He protested against an exanina- ton of the holdings of the stockhold- CTS and offered to submit figures as to the number of shareholders and the growth of their number every time an increase of capital stock had been authorized.
 Corporation Counsel Cornell replied that the city contended that great blocks Of stock in the company are held by the original owners or their descendants and that each Of these owners has increased his holdings every time a stock increase took place. He finally agreed that he would be satisfied with data as to the number of holders, etc, without men ton of names.
