THE CLIMBERS.
.Jupanese Plane
of German Build
Sets World Mark
By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News

By Radio TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
COPENHAGEN, September 27.-
One of the giant airplanes which
the German Rohrbach factory at
Copenhagen built for Japan today
made a new world record for craft
of its type.
Carrying a 1,000-kilogram car
go (about 2,200 pounds) and flying
under poor weather conditions, the
plane made a distance of 422 kilo-
meters (about $50 miles) in 8
hours, II minutes and IA seconds.
This is better than the records
held by American hydroplanes
with greater horsepower.
The factory hopes to esta blish a
worlds record over a 1,000kilo-
meter course before the plane is
shipped to Japan. 1t has orders
from the Japanese government for
seven of the planes, which are
equipped with two Rolls-Royce
motors of 720 horsepower.

The chief concern of the commits
sioners when they go before the
budget committee two weeks hence
will be to impress upon those off,
cials the necessity for granting at
least part of the $1,000, 600 that has
been asked in the form of supple
mental items.
The tentative estimates of the city
heads, as first submitted over a month
ago. aggregated s36, 900. The bud
get bureau then notified the Commits
sioners that their regular estimates
would have to be restricted to S3l,-
551.505.
Gen. Lord extended them the priv
ilege. however, Of submitting supple
mental estimates, and, taking advan-
tage of this concession, the city
fathers asked for close to $4,000, 900
under that heading. This list in
ciudes nearly all of the important
projects eliminated from the regular
estimates.

1t is understood the estimates for
next year include approximately
s1.0O0.0oO for resuming the school
building program to relieve the con-
gestion that still exists in the class
rooms of the public school system.
In view of the fact that no new
buildings were authorized in the cur
rent appropriation law officials are
extremely anxious to have the school
building projects in the new estimates
approved.
The list of streets to be paved out
of next years gasoline tax collections

the gas tax will not produce quite as
much revenue annually as was ex-

of streets to be paved out of general
