New City Charter Urged as

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 2.-Chicago's city
fathers may have turned over a new
leaf as 1880 started. They had little
else left to turn over, what with
empty Golfers and staggering debt
staring them in the face.
Debts have been piling up for
more than ten years until now they
total S270,000, 900. The city is pay
ing approximately $16,000,000 a year
interest on money it has borrowed
from Feter to pay Paul. Money now
being spent is to be collected next
year.
An economy budget" providing
for discharge Of 5000 city employees,
including 635 policemen and 200
f1remen, was grasped as a last
straw.
Although no property taxes have
been collected since 1927, when a
reassessment was protested by the
state tax commission, the city has
spent some $60,0o0,O00 each year
through sale of tax anticipation
warrants In the flood of first OF
the year bills today were manJ
threatening to stop the city's credit
unless it pays something.
Citizens and political leaders have
recognized the gravity of the situa-
ton. In an open letter to the city's
millions, B. H. Sullivan, Democratic
leader, urged a new charter as the
only solution.

action which was agreed upon by
the partnership after speculat.ons
by an employe had been discovered.
An audit is being made to determine.

BREAD PRICE DATA
GIVEN TO CAPPER
Bakers Say Distribution and
Labor Cost Bar Cut in
Charges Here.

Manufacturers Of bread and bakery
products in Washington today furnish
ed Chairman Copper Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee with information pur-
porting to support the contention that
regardless Of what happens to the price
Of wheat and flour, the price Of bread
cannot be lowered appreciably in WASH
ington.
Senator Capper, who Is gathering in
and distribution costs and prices
charged, with q view to learning
whether the decline in wheat has been
reflected in the price of bread to the
consumer, was told today that wheat
prices have very little to do with the
price Of bread in the Capital.
Capper Bares Complaints.
Announcing the inquiry, Senator
Capper said yesterday that complaints
had been made to him that although
wheat is selling for about half of what
it was bringing year ago, bread Is
about the same here"
Admitting this statement to be sub
stantialiy correct, the larger bakeries
informed the District Committee today
that manufacturing and distribution
costs in Washington are higher than
in any city in the United States, for
Tie IedSOIl LkldC every CACAnChI VA AdDOA
in the industry is organized.
Cost In Cities Compared.
The standard price of bread here is
Q cents for the pound loaf and ID cents
for the 11a-pound loaf. This price, the
bakeries told the committee, compares
with 10 cents for o 1-pound loaf in New
York, Detroit and Chicago, despite that
labor costs in those cities are more
favorable to manufacturers than here.
With especial reference to the price
of wheat, the bakeries furnished the
committee with data purporting to
show that other bread ingredients cost
a. much as q year ago. and that If
wheat -four were furnished the manu-
facturer as a gift 1t would still cost
4.57 cents to produce 1-pound loaf,
exclusive OF wrapping and delivery.
Several Of the bakeries were can
vassed yesterday and today by James
Ring, clerk of the Senate Committee,
who, at Senator Capper's instance, was
given cost and sale prices and other
data.
Chairman Capper said he expected
the matter would come up for discus
sion when the Senate District Commit
tee meets some time next week. Several
members of the Senate have spoken TO
him about the subject. he said.
Senator Capper stated he had been
informed there are some scent loaves
being sold here.

Expansion Of airmail and passenger
service on the Atlantic coastal line pass
ing through the National Capital may
result in creation of a unique de luxe
fast airmail service between the Ma
tional Capital and New York, Postmas-
ter General Walter F. Brown told the
House Appropriations Committee during
consideration of the postal supply meas
ure, it was learned today.
The new service, which will be a COM
bination airmail and special delivery
service, Mr.. Brown said, would make
possible the delivery in New York before
the close of the business day of letters
mailed in this city as late as IL noon
or ! pm. The Postmaster General said
that he had been considering a charge
of a minimum of IS cents for this spe-
cial service, which would cover both
postage and special delivery.
ut occurred to me-" he said, chat
there might be some demand for a
service of that kind between these very
cities, so that a letter could
be delivered here in the morning from
New York and the answer received in
the afternoon in New York, or vice
versa. am thinking of trying it out"
Necessary Daylight Service.
The new. service will necessitate the
flying of daylight service between this
city and New York by Eastern Air
Transport, holders of the New York
Miami airmail contracts. Inauguration
of three trips a day between this city
and New York for mail and passengers,
in addition to six regular airmail runs,
now Is being planned by Eastern Air
Transport as a part of a tremendous
expansion in operations authorized by
the Post ONCE Department under the
terms of the Watres bill.
Nineteen new planes, all but three of
which are multi-motored types, are be-
ing added to the feet of Eastern Air
Transport, increasing 1t to 40 planes
This will be one Of the largest CONNER
cial fleets in the country. The first step
in the expansion program, which will
increase the amount of daily flying on
the line from q little more than 5000
miles day to more than 10000 miles,
will be the extension next Tuesday of
passenger service. now operating from
New York to Richmond, on to Atlanta,
