N. J. DAILY OF Forestville appear
ed before the city council last eve
ming and bitterly opposed the re-
establishment Of street lines on
Central street, Forcstville. In spite
of his objections, however, the CITY
council voted to adopt the lines pro
posed by City Engineer Buell. and
which will make the street ~ L.
feet wide from Pine street to the
center OF Forestville.
The matter OF street lines was
first brought up last fall and al that
time, Mr.. DAILY also appeared in op-
position 20 the city engineers plans.
1t seems that the boundaries de-
scribed in the city records are very
vague, one being mentioned as
pine tree near tho southerly end of
Central street. This nine tree WAS
cut down number OF years ago
and in spite Of efforts made by the
city forces TO locate the spot whore
it stood they were never successful
The new lines adopted will cut off
the front steps OF Mr. Da!v's home
and other houses on the east side of
the street will be placed out on the
sidewalk, In denounting the action
OF the council, Mr.. DAILY talked for
some twenty minutes and concluded
his speech by informing Mayor
Wade that it would not be neces-
sary for him TO await the returns
from Forestyille at the next city

parison that is fair to the Soviet
Union is that with pre-war years.
Here are actual data Of pre-war
and present conditions Of the Soviet
oil industry:
"Pre-war crude oil production was
100000 metric tons; production for
the Soviet fiscal year ended September
20th last was in excess Of 100000
metric tons.
"Pre-war annual consumption of
kerosene in villages was 8 pounds per
capita; last years consumption was
"a pounds per capita.
Wages Rise Rapidly.
"Pre-war wages of workers in the
Baku oil fields were 35 rubles per
month. During the year just ended
the average wages were over rs
rubles. AS the purchasing power o.
the ruble is now about 60 per cent Of
the pre-war, real wages at present
amount to IS rubles and are higher
than the pre-war wages. Asides from
this, workers now receive many bene-
fits which were not known in the pre-
war days
present production costs in the
Grozny oil Fields are lower than be-
fore the war, while in the Baku field,
production costs are about equal to
those of 1918. At the same time, De-
terding's ignorant assertions not
withstanding, the Soviet oil industry
pays both taxes and royalties.
Higher Quality Kerosene.
present technical methods used in
the Soviet fields are much in advance
Of those used before the war. PRINT
tive drilling has been largely super
seeded by modern rotary and cable
drilling. Natural gases, entirely vast
ed by former owners, are now being
utilized The output Of gasoline from
crude oil has been increased from the
pre-war figure of per cent to over
7 per cent.
"Soviet kerosene is now Of higher
quality than ever before. Additional
treatment is made necessary because
Of demands never encountered before
the war.
Irrefutable Facts.
"Sir Deterding mentions also the
Soviet coal industry. It will be inter-
esting to learn that coal production
for the year just ended was 80 per
cent higher than the figure given by
Deterding for 1912.
"Such are the facts, irrefutable
facts. Sir Henri Deterding's propa-
ganda cannot Withstand the light of
reality"

New Construction in U.S.S.R

Improvement in the Conditions of the Workers
Considerable achievements have been attained in the
sphere of improving the conditions of the workers
the following facts show.
During the past three years the government has ap
propriated 35000O0O0 roubles for housing. The total
outlay for this purpose in the year
390000000 roubes Next year the estimate expenditure
for this purpose will be 450000000 roubles AS result
Of the house construction carried during the past
three years. housing accommodation will be provided for
100000 persons In this connection it should be point
ed out also that the houses being built far
superior from the point of view of and
sanitation to those built in the past.
The measures necessary for the improvement of the
sanitary and technical conditions Of labor have also been
extended The expenditure for safety appliances and
sanitation in the state industries planned by the govern
men amounts this year to 100000 roubes and next
year according to the estimates will amount to 900 900
roubles
The medical service fund for insured workers is in
creasing and is overtakng the increase in the number
bf insured. There is also extension of prophyacc
measures Thus according to plan the number of places
in sanatora and rest homes this year is $4,000 and
by next year these will be increased to 100000
With regard to social insurance. in pre-war days
(1913) the amount spent insurance represented 24
of the paid At the present time it represents
1920.
Positive achievements have been attained in the sphere
of improving cultural life During the past years the
improvement of the conditions of the workers fund has
increased considerably. In 1885 this fund amounted
to 49500000 roubes, in 192627 it amounted to 3d.
100000 roubles Parallel with the increase in the fund.-
there is increase in expenditure for cultural and club
building purposes
Ukrainian Industry During the Past Eleven Months.
During the past II months the output of the Ukran-
ian industries amounted to 748900000 pre-war roubes
The annual output program of the All Union industries
has been fulfilled to the extent of $780, the republican

Figures and Facts on Soviet Economy

production from cultivated land was
wheat culture. In 1920, due to the
civil war the quantity of wheat pro-
duced was only 35 per cent of the total
crop. Now in 1927 it has risen TO
Bib per cent. Oats, the most i'm
portant crop next to wheat, formed
1913 per cent of all land cultivated in
1913 and in 1927-23.1 per cent. Flax
in 1913 was 81 per cent of the total
crop and in 1927, 81 per cent. The
figures refer to the number of de-
setines cultivated for each crop.
Overcome Effects of Civil War.
The general agricultural produc-
ton based on amount of products is
1859 per cent of the pre-war pro-
duction. The animal stock before the
war tot3lled 149 millions and in
1927-21.5 million. In 1927 sheep and
goats formed POST per cent of the
pre-war number, hogs 1877 per cent,
cows 1924 per cent and horses 98.5
per cent of the pre-war level. The
number of horses is somewhat lower
because Of the ravages of the civil
war. Not only Kolchak occupied ST.
IBERIA, but the Cheko-Slovaks and the
Japanese visited violence on the popu-
lation
The Agricultural economy of ST.
IBERIA in 1913 divided as follows, 28.1
per cent field crops and 71.9 per cent
production such as dairy products and
stock raising. In 1926 the division
was 42,5 percent field crops and
BIB per cent stock raising and dairy
products. Export is not so large now
as before the war. This is due to
two causes. First the population Of
Siberia has grown % per cent since
1918, the increase being ahead of the
increase in agricultural products,
altho as stated above that too has in
creased above the pre-war level

mainly to bad handling and lack of
knowledge of proper feeding methods,
etc. Control unions were organized
by the Siberian Department of Agri-
culture, and better stock was intro
duced at the same time that the pea
SAINTS were taught modem dairy
methods. The peasants using new
cows with modern methods have in
creased their production of milk an

some of these cows are giving, in
