TIED IN STUDY
Of BULGE

The Citizens Advisory Council
which is supposed to represent
organized citizenship OF the District
had its hands further tied today in
the matter OF the District estimates
for the 1929-1930 budget.
William A. Roberts and DR.
George H. Richardson, a special
committee of the council, appeared
before the Board of District Com
missioners to ask for an extension
of time for consideration of the
budget.
The estimates were turned over
to the council for consideration ten
days ago, with instructions to re
turn them with recommendation
not later than July 5. Meeting
last night, the council decided that
more time was needed because no
serious consideration had been
given them.
Task Held Hopeless
Roberts WAS instructed to ask
for more time
Commissioned Sidney f. Taliaferro
acting president of the board, told
the committee they could have until
July in which to file their report.
MIR. Taliaferro stated, however, that
the Commissioners would file their
verdict with the Bureau Of the Bud
get on July 5, whether the council
report was ready or not.
The council committee said that
they now faced hopeless situation
because 1t would be physically Inn
possible to complete their survey in
such limited time.
The Commissioners dealt the coun-
Gil fatal blow when they ruled that
District department heads will not be
permitted to appear before the coun-
Gil and testify as to District needs.
Last summer, at fine budget hear
Ing, Department heads were sub
Jected to such merciless grilIing at
the hands of DR.. George G.. Havenner
or the Bureau of Efficiency, that
they appealed to the Commissioners
FOR protection" Some OF them, in
fact, refused 10 testify before the
council.
Yaden Act AssaiIed
nav ehH"F. AT that time, was a
member Of the council. 8
Commissioner TaIiaferro tod a V
asked the councils committee if
DR.. Havenner was still member
of that body. He is not.
James G. Yaden. chairman of the
council. has entrusted Havenner
with the task of studying and re-
porting on next years budget. an
act which has brought fire from
some OF the regularly authorized
members of the council. who feel
they are competent To act without
outside assistance.
Following today's conference with
the Commissioners, Roberts was TO
call on Chairman Yaden and make
report, In the hope that immediate
sessions OF the council could he
held. so that the council could file
some sort of perfunctory report with
the Commissioners before July T..
This may mean council meeting
on July 4.

# SKIN BREAKS OUT AND ITCHES
 APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Mentho- Sulphur to an itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, made into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery eczema. that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of its germ-destroying properties, it quickly subdues the itching. cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leav- ing a clear, smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness.
 You do not have to wait for improvement. It quickly shows. You can get little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur at any drug store. -adv.
