 recommended by the mayor. some of them anyway, are not new. but very ancient For instance, the mayor suggests that the city go back to the plan of clecting board members once every two years instead of for Il longer period. In this he is backed by citizens who want to get the best results for the people. but the strange thing about it is that those who were responsible for the char ter as 1t now exists are just the ones that brought about the c0n- tinuing boards which they now want brushed aside and the old order re- stored. In like manner they had ripper bills passed. but now 1t seems these have served their purpose and the public interests would be served by repeating them. so you see there is nothing really new proposed, but rather bringing back what has been tried and found safe, and discntding measures tit1l were put trough for political purposes.

Business Recovery Predicted Soon By
 Dr. Julius Klein
He Is Assistant Secretary of Commerce Retailers Will Start on Large Scale Buying in Near Future

nizcd as ono of the com unfry's lead. ing cconomists. outlined the present situation today in m exclusive inter- view with the United Press.
 gHc pointed out, among other fac. tors, that figures indicate lower store inventories now than at any time since the early part of 1929.
 There K one major difference in tho situation then and now. how ever While stocks were low at that time, the country's previous period or depression, sales aiso were low. The sale index now, however is very high. s6gfMf
 Buying to rcpicnIsh stocks aIrcady is being noted in several lines, among them the shoe industry.
 "One of the saiutary results Of the trade decline during the paid year and n half has been sweep ing reduction In mercantile invcn. forles." Klein said. While stocks of some raw materials and manufactur. cd goods have been accumuIatine. retail inventories have been sharply reduced since tho depression com menccd.i
 Tn February the federal reserve boards seasonaiIy adjusted index of department store stocks, after an ai- most uninterruted decline from the November 1929 level. amounting to nearly 16 per cent. stood nt SC per cent of the average for the 1923- 25 base period.
 This reflects n lower level of store inventories than at any time since the early part of 1922. Tho adjust ed index of sales, and on the other hand, increased in January and again in February, and In the latter month was 9S per cent of the t923-25 aver- age.
 Thus. since November, 1929, de- partmcnt store inventories have been reduced by 1G per cent while sales have fallen off by only little more than nine per cent. This indicates that the rate of merchandisc turn. over has been considerably speeded up during the past 15 months and that department stories are in q pos- ition where buying needs should soon be felt.
 ''The increase in retail turnover is strikingIy parent when comparl- son is made with the situation dur Ing the 1921 depression. Tn that year the, index of sales was 87 while tho stock index stood slightly higher at S9. Last month. on the other hand. tho index of stocks was 8g-actuaiiy lower than q decade aRo-while the sales index was 08. Considerably higher than the stocks index.
 This tendency toward speeding up turnover which has been manifest during recent years has been parti- cu1ar1y pronounced during the last year. Any return to the conditions prevailing 10 years ago is uDthink- able, but personally believe that reduction Of retail stocks in some instances has been carried much too far in relation to present consump- ton demands, and if tho present and anticipated recovery continues 1t seems perfectly obvious that mcr- chants will soon find 1t necessary to enter the market on q larger scale and rcpienish exhausted lines of goods"
