COMBINATION Of
CITY FUNDS IS
URGED BY BOOK
C. of C. Civic Director
Suggests Move to Re-
duce Borrowing.

Combination OF several city FUNDS
which are raised by a separate levy
was urged today by William H. Book,
Chamber of Commerce civic director,
as a means of reducing the temper
airy borrowing of money by the city.
The civil city now has a total of
eighteen separate rates which in
themselves contribute to the neces-
sity for borrowing money. Frequent
ly one or more funds are depleted
while others have sufficient money
to operate and have a balance for
the department, obtaining the loan,
Book pointed out.
1.-THE city is, in effect, borrowing
it's own money on which 1t received
2 per cent depository interest, and
paying therefor 4 to 6 per cent. The
interest rate on present loans is 6
per cent, the maximum permitted by
law" Books report stated.
Municipal finances could be
simplifed. at appreciate saving to
the taxpayers, by a consolidation of
funds. Presumably the sanitary and
park funds must be kept separate,
because each department has a
separate bonding power, against
which large amounts of bonds are
outstanding.
Sinking fund money also should
not go into general fund, but it
seems it would be good business to
combine all sinking funds except
those of the park and sanitary de-
partmentS."

MERGER OF CITY
REPAIR SHOPS
RECOMMENDED
Urges Move to Increase
Efficiency and Lower
Maintenance Costs.

Merging of all city motor equip
ment repair shops TO bring about in
creased efficiency and reduced re-
pair and maintenance costs was
recommended today by Fabian
Biemer, municipal garage superin-
tendent.
Sanitary. police and fire depart
ments maintain separate shops and
the street commissioners depart
ment operates a repair and black
smith shop. With only four months
remaining in the fiscal year, no &C
ton is probable on Biemer's recon-
mendation during the Slack admin
istration, but it is likely the sugges-
ton will be considered by the city
manager who will take over the
reins of city government in January.
The recommendation would be in
line with the city manager principle
Of business-like administration.
The 1880 appropriation for opera
ton of the municipal garage was
e64, 900. The garage services about

the various departments, including
sixty passenger cars, eighty-four
trucks and miscellaneous motor
equipment for the various branches.
CURLING of the purchase of pas
senger cars for use of officials and
employees was urged by the Chamber
of Commerce in its annual study of
the budget.
William II. Book, Chamber budget
director. pointed out that the cost of
operating the garage and appropria-
lions of various departments for
garage and motor supplies totalled
nearly 100000 annually, over $500
per piece of equipment. The esti-
mate does not include insurance or
depreciation costs and does not take
into account the police, fire and
sanitary departments.

Ousley on the Road Again

Clarence Ousley, managing director Of the high
way and forestry department of the East Texas
Chamber of Commerce, is on the road again. In q
speaking campaign he is outlining plans leading TO
the creation of a commission Of nine persons to carry
out a state highway program for issuance OF $780,
600 900 in state bonds for the building Of a network
of $4,000 miles Of designated highways.
Before an issue Of bonds could be voted an amend
ment to the constitution would be necessary. Chair
man Ross Sterling advocated the same plan a year
ago. 1t would be financed by a gasoline tax. Accord
ing to Ousley a tax Of two and one-half or three cents
a gallon would be necessary for financing such an
issue and retiring it at the end Of 20 years. His COM
mission would consist Of three members from North
and East Texas, three from South Texas and three
from West Texas.
When the $1,000 600 bond issue is voted half Of
this sum will be spent for reimbursing counties which
have spent their funds building state highways. The
other 500, 100000 will be used for the purpose of fill
ing in the gaps in the present network and in build
ing additional highways in the state system. OF this
$4,000 miles in the network only 1000 miles is now
built. Federal aid would be available as on the pres
ent basis of road work. This plan calls for complet-
ing a highway system within IL years. Chairman
Sterling Of the highway commission is given the cen
ter of the stage. Is the bond issue plan to be made
a paramount issue in the campaign Of 1880?

Mistaken Information

"A special dispatch to The Dallas News sent from
Austin quotes j. NJ. Del Curto, entomologist Of the
department Of agriculture, as having said:
due to quick cooperation among growers in the
Valley a rather serious outbreak Of the Mediterranean
fruit fly was stamped out and now the Valley has no
signs of the dangerous pest"
Mr.. Del Curto never made any such statement.
Mr.. Del Curto is familiar with the Valley and knows
its history. This being true, he knows the Mediter-
ranean fruit fly never has been found in the Valley.
The MoreloS fruit fly. quite a different breed of
pest has been found in Valley orchards and appears
to have been thoroughly stamped out. The Morelos
fly, while a dangerous pest, is comparatively easily
controlled as it attacks citrus fruit and a small list
Of host fruits only, whereas the Mediterranean fy
attacks almost all fruits and vegetables and thus is
next to impossible to control.
determination Of the Morelos fly from the VALLEY
was accomplished by government-state and federal
inspectors with the assistance Of Valley agencies.
While the Valley will market fruit under a modi-
fled quarantine next season, this will not hamper the
free movement of the crop in the least.
The only requirement is that all fruit shipped be
inspected and carry a certificate to that effect. The
shipping season probably will end April l instead Of
May ], as was the case last year.

Daniel was carried captive to
Babylon in the first Of three dis
tinct deportations of Jerusalem's
population, II years before the de-
portation Of Ezekiel, and like Eze-
kiel, his ministry was entirely out
side Palestine, but unlike Ezekiel's,
it was a ministry to powerful gen.
tile rulers, rather than to poor and
discouraged eXileS.
Though of a deSpised subject race,
he rose to a position of dominating
influence under four kings Of three
different nations, viz: Nebuchad-
nessar and Belshazzer, the Chal-
deans; Darius, the Mede, and Cyrus,
the Persian. Daniels youthful cour-
age of conviction regarding the
kings meat and wine, and his will
ingness in later life to be cast into
the lions den rather than to change
his custom Of prayer to Jehovah,
were not isolated incidents Of his
life, but rather fair samples Of the
stuff Of which his whole life was
made.
His Interpretation of Nebuchad-
nezzar's dream Of the colossus with
head of gold, breast and arms OF

No Overpopulation

Figures on the birth and death rate OF the oni'eo
States. released by the department. OF commerce Div"
there Is little likelihood Of this country becoming OVER
populated in several centuries.
The birth rate in 1928 was 1877 per thousand pop
ulation, compared to POT for 1927.
The death rate in 1923 was 1913 per Thousand pop
ulation as compared to ia in 1927.
An increase of g in the death rate met a DECREASE
of l in the birth rate, bringing the 1lgureS - Pei
thousand population nearer together.
The figures were based on reports from So states
from which reliable vital statistics are available
The highest birth rate, 275, was IN North caro-
lima and the lowest, 144, in Washington.
The highest death rate, 145, was in California
and the lowest, IA, in Idaho.
The infant mortality rate rose in 1928 to 68 per
thousand Of population from GAS in 1927. the hgn-
est. 1922 was in Arizona and the lowest, 46S, In
Oregon.
These figures indicate the growth Of population by
number of births over the number OF deaths 10 DC
very slow. The Harris Memorial Foundation WIZ
headquarters at Chicago, after a study OF the SUD-
iect, says the population OF North America Is III
longer reproducing itself.
emitting anv consideration Of immigration, the
increase annually Of ga per thousand populatlon
(birth rate minus death rate) would require many
wears TO even comfortably fill these United States
And this ratio grows smaller yearly.
It has been estimated that a population OF 100000
600 is possible. The present rate OF increase ny drums
over deaths should add about 100000 persons per year
to DIR estimated present population Of 12O,OOO,OOO.
Allowing 100000 for immigration, to add the re-
manning 100000 necessary to meet the possible
200 600 600 would require g little less than 1000 years
Anyone who has been troubled about this matter
NAV now feel easier. The United States will not be
oyerpopuIated during the next several centurles-I
our present immigration laws are enforced.
