1t our present economic conditions
justified it, the writer would not only
vote eyes" on the proposition, but
would urge the construction of a
building costing twice the amount of
the one proposed and which would be
ia credit to the community for all time.
am informed that the city is pay
ing SIS per month for its present
quarters which would seem a very
modest rental for building so stu
ated, nevertheless if the council could
lower that expense, it would be up to
them to do SO in the interest of econ
omy and good government.
The estimated cost Of the new
building, as understand it, is to be
$16, 100000 to which must be added the
cost of suitable furnishings, the ex-
pense of financing, advertising and
marketing the bonds and the annual
interest thereon, which would either
run the cost of the completed inn
provement up to around $20,000.0OO,
Or else reduce the amount that would
actually go into the construction of
the building to around $12,O00.00.
Janitor service, upkeep and deprecia-
ton charges ETC., are some more ex-
pense which would have to be reck-
oned with and which alone would pro-
badly amount to more than the city
is now paying.
AS the proposed building program
is going to increase instead of de-
crease our already burdensome taxes,
it is my judgment that we postpone
the construction of city hall until
such time as conditions justify it.
Respectfully yours,
A TAXPAYER.

Letters From the People

Soon we will be asked to vote on
the proposition of the erection of a
new city hall building and as the
proposal affects every taxpayer, 1T
might not be amiss to review the sit
uation in a general way so that we
can cast our ballots intelligently.

would only have recourse in foreign credits when the value of the franc had increased. Previously purchases of foreign currencies had been ban Ined. except when they were made on the basis of the pre-war rate of ex- change.
 The establishment of the sinking
 fund is with the purpose of taking up the floating debt of France, which consists largely of outstanding na- tional defense and treasury bonds. The chamber adopted the recom- mendation by a vote of 42o to 40,
 after it had rejected by vote of $50 to 172 a socialist motion that the governments retain control of the tobacco monoply, instead of turning
 it over to a private concern. It is from the tobacco monoply that the government expects to realize Igoodly sum toward wiping out the floating debt.
 The measure permitting the bank |of France to issue new notes for the
 purchase of foreign currencies was
 one of the recommendations made
 to former Finance Minister Caillaux by the committee of financial ex- 'perts. The mobilization of foreign
 currencies will place the bank in
 position to manoeuvre in defense of
 the franc, which was quoted at tie
 closing of the exchange market yes |terday at 3495 to the dollar.

WEST IN GRIP OF BAD HEAT WAVE
Several Deaths Reportd-MOd
 crate Change Predicted

Kansas City, Aug. 6 PSScattered thunder showers and possibly cool ing breezes were forecast today as the only relief from the heat wave which yesterday settled over the west and southwest, sending tenn peratures well above the century mark in several states.
 Nearly a score of deaths were at- tributed directly or indirectly to heat while humidity which ap- preached the saturation point in many sections drove farmers from fields, and caused damage to crops. The highest temperature reported was at Salina, Kans., where the mer- cury touched 109 degrees. Sixteen Kansas points reported 100 degrees or above with streams drying up, threatening a water shortage.
 ~Hot winds swept parts of Texas and Oklahoma, extending into Kan sas and damaging corn. Oklahoma s highest point was 106 at Tulsa, while Fort Worth led in Texas with 102. Rocky mountain states recorded temperatures in the upper nineties, Arizona leading with 9S continued dry weather in northern, Idaho and western Montana added to the forest fires menace with several bsazes re- maining out of control.
 While no records were broken in the midwest, several deaths were attributed to heat in Chicago and central state cities. Unusually high humidity added to suffering in this

Paris, Aug. P,-A still further advance has been made by Premier Poincare in his effort to end the chaotic financial situation in Europe.
 The chamber of deputies has pass ed two of his most important meas ures, the bill providing for a sink ing fund to eradicate the country's floating debt and his bill designed to effect stabilization of the currency.
 Although the latter measure pro- vides that the bank of France may issue notes for the purchase of gold bullion and stable foreign cuErencies with French francs at the current rate of exchange, Premier Poincare told the deputies that this action by the bank would not involve imitation.
 He added that the government

MRS. REYNOLDS HAS HER CLAIM ALLOWED
Awarded StS6 by City-Dam- ages to Fischer Lot Discussed

The claim of George S. Fischer of 73 Woodland street for s100 be- cause of alleged damage to his pro- perty by surface water from the Valentine B. Chamberlain school yard, was disposed of by the claims committee, subject to approval by the common council, after a hearing before the committee last night at the city clerks office, Chairman J. NJ. Halloran of the school accom- modations committee of the school board. and J. E. Downes, superin- tendent of school construction, said wall is being built on the dividing line between the properties and other work is beng done to guard against the condition which resulted in the claim. They said the school department has been advised by the corporation counsel that there is no | liability on the city's part, but the precautionary measures, which are being taken to protect the school property, will b. a benefit to MT. Fischer's property. MT. Fischer said he will be satisfied if his property is protected in this way The com nittee will recommend that leave to withdraw be given relative to the s100 claim.
 After a hearing on the claim of 4. N. Dressel for $50 for damage to an automobile trunk caused by a municipal garage automobile on Commercial street, the committee took no action pending inquiry as to whether the garage commission car ries liability insurance on it's cars. Mir Dressei, who was represented by Attorney Henry P. Roche, said his car was stopped on signal by Officer II. c. Lyon, who was on the traffic post at the corner of Main and Com rnercial streets, when a car driven by Thomas Kiernan, employed in the garage, struck the trunk on the rear and reduced it to kindling wood.
 MT. Dressel said Kiernan told him his foot slipped off the brake pedal and before he could apply the brake again, the collision had occurred. In . statement to Assistant Corporation Counsel M. H. Camp. Kiernan as- sumed blame for the accident.
 Payment of s1s6 to Mrs. Frank Reynolds of 30 Florence street will be recommended by the committee. Mrs. Reynolds, represented by Attor- ney S. Polk Waskowitz, described | fall which caused fracture Of her left ankle on an alleged icy side walk on East street, near property known as 662 East street, on Feb ruary 25. She was under the. care of Dr. David P. Waskowitz for ten weeks, she said.
 Mrs. Mary Beaudoin of 42 Broad street was heard on her claim for st2 for a dress which was spoiled by a protruding piece of wood on temporary sidewalk at the corner of Broad and Washington streets where George Rather is building a theater. She was advised to present the claim to Mir Rather as the city is not considered to be liable in the matter.
