came the pupil of a Paris college.
Cup till then, l had naturally in
tended to go on and finish the studies
which 1 had followed to take my doc
torate in science; but at the age of
IA or Is, l began to go out little
more and especially to hear more con-
certs. The love of music, which had
always made me continue the piano
for my pleasure. declared itself
stronger, and the hearing of some
great piano virtuosos was a real reve-
lation that perhaps could have done
something in a musical way. l deeply
regretted not having worked at the
piano professionally since childhood
"At 16, the feeling became so
strong that 1 decided to try to make
my way, even though SO late, in that
direction. My mother, seeing my deep
love for the piano, consented and even
advised me to quit the scientific work
and undertake a musical career, If It
was not too late.

MAYOR VETOES CREATION OF

Disapproves of Permanent
 Building Inspector, Be- lieving Probe Commit tees Report Inconsistent.

Mayor A. M Paonessa today vetoed resolution to accept rec concentrations of special commit tee of the common council. accept ance of which would have made the position of deputy building inspector a permanent job.
 The mayors veto Is based on a claim that the recommendation Is inconsistent with the remainder of the report; because If adopted 1t would add a great expense to the building departments costs. and be- cause he feeds it not only would not aid the department In administering building laws but might hamper it.
 In their report to the common council the investigators pointed out that there were only 25 more build ing permits in 1925 than in 1924 They also reported that from author. itative sources and from observa- tions they were convinced the period of intensive building activity was practically at an end and the year 1926 would show a reduction 1T work along this line. The mayor req sons that a sharp reduction in build. ing activity would bring the number of permits below the 1924 figure, i the investigators observations arr correct, and during that year ther' was but one inspector.
 For several months A. N Ruther ford has been deputy inspector. Hi salary is $50 a week and he fur |. nishes his own car. which fact re l duces his net gain to about S25
