The Resort Town


The crowds, are gone from Bull
frog Beach, the scene is sad and
drear; no more we see the bloom
ing peach in bathing togs appear ;
the hungry seabirds wall and
screech, and no relief is near. The
town is dead, no noisy band grinds
out the ragtime tune, no hot dog
dealer is at hand to capture the
doubloon; but there is only soggy
sand, in bar and drift and dune. The
sea is gray that once was blue, the
waves no longer play, but scrap a
dreary round or two, and, snarling,
drift away; and every mortal thing
in view is brown or black or gray.
The girls are gone, the boys are
gone, all youth has left the town
the flowers are withered on the
lawn, the grass is dead and brown
and all the buildings seem to yawn,
deserted, broken down. Some dis
NAL graybeards walk the shore and
talk away the time, and tell old
tales of days of yore, of distant
port and cline; and every day to
them's bore, and every night a
crime. A stranger, gazing at the
place. would have a pallid grin, and
say, ITS surely run its race. it's
mortified within; it's dead to love
Illness and grace, it is too dead to
skim" But wait few brief months,
| pray, and see the town once more
and you will find it twice as gay as
e'er it was before, the bells will
ring. the bands will play, the
peaches haunt the shore

FEDERAL PAY CUT
HELD IMPOSSIBLE
Assistant Secretary o

Demanding Raise.

1.-The idea of cutting the salaries of
government employees is impossible. I
! think they ought to be raised" said
Eliot Wadsworth, assistant secretary
of the Treasury, in an address before
| the Washington Study at the High
lands apartments yesterday.
He explained the working of the
Treasury and various government de-
partments. The Treasury had sue
ceeded in reducing expenses within the
last few years, he said. by discharging
a number of government employees,
but he did not see how some Of those
| remaining get along on the salaries
which they now receive.
"The average salary of government
employees is only $1,000 per year." he
said.
The total fixed items of expense of
the treasury, he pointed out, are
equal to SO per cent of all of the ex-
penditures of that department. This"
ne asserted, leaves a margin of 81
per cent on which to work. Out of
this comes II per cent of expendi-
lures which go toward the running
OF the various government DEPART
ments.'
huge Gut In Personnel.
Out of $4,000 employees working. for
.,ie government about the time that
the armistice was signed there was a
cut which reduced this number to
$4,000 by July, 1921, and this has
Deen still further reduced until there
are now only a few over 500. 1000. The
treasury has in it's immediate en-
pioy about $4,000 people in Washing
ton and approximately 41,O0O scat

He explained how, under the bud
get system, all items of expenditure
had to come within the limits of the
budget estimates, and any bill passed
Dy Congress calling for the expend-
lture of money has to remain within
the budget limit. He told how the
plan of deciding in advance the needs
OF the various departments had aided
greatly in cutting expenses and gave
the system of awarding contracts for
supplies as an example.
