WORKS BOARD
DEPARTMENTS
PARE REQUESTS
Ask $15,085 Less for 1882
Than They Received
This Year.

Budget requests of various city de-
partments under the works board
for 1882 show reduction Of $751;
095.83 from the appropriation for
1881.
The reduction, shown in requests
submitted to City Controller Will
liam L. Elder, is equal to nearly
4 of l cent in the tax levy. The
total works board budget request
for 1882 is s1,493,747.
The various city department bud
get requests will be studied in the
controllers office and additional re-
auctions made where possible.
Department budget requests ap-
proved by the works board are:
Works board administration
1892, 45417, decrease of $7,94583
municipal airport, $4,000, same;
Barrett law department, $l5,930
same; city garage, $73, 1852, decrease
Of S1,805; public buildings depart
ment, SAL 200, decrease of $1,71O; city
engineers department, $156,028, de-
crease of $17,6O0; street commits
sioner's department, $254, $500, in
crease of $13,975.
The street commissioner also has
q separate budget of 100000 rep
resenting anticipated gasoline taz
fund receipts.
The $17600 decrease in the en-
gineer's budget represents supple;
and equipment cuts totaling $4,000
together with $4,000 eliminated by
transfer of improved streets main
tenance from the engineers depart
ment to the street commissioner.
While a $13,975 increase is shown
in the street commissioner budget
request, this actually is a $1,O25 de-
crease, inasmuch as the budget con-
tains only $13,975 of the $4,000 re-
leased from the engineers budget
by the maintenance change.

Pilgrimage to Be Made
to French Grave of
Quentin Roosevelt.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
DARIS, July 11.-American
l. friends, war veterans and
French admirers will make pill
grimage Tuesday to the lonely
grave in the Aisne valley near
Counonges- En- TardenoiS where
Quentin Roosevelt fell in air COM
bat on July II, 1918.
Quentin is buried where he fell,
his first grave being dug by the
Germans who picked him out Of
the wreckage of his plane. They
marked the grave with a wooden
cross, of the same style as marked
the graves of Germans, and on it
inscribed:
Quentin Roosevelt fell here IN
combat, July IA, 1918"
They realized they were burying
the son of the former President
and tended his grave piously. I'm
like the graves Of other American
soldiers buried by the Germans,
this tomb was prepared like a
shrine. German soldiers made a
rustic fence around 1t with birch
branches, and 1t remained chat
way until advancing American
troops found it.

BY BEN STERN

THROWING possibility that the
~ Democratic strategists may
forego the opportunity to reorganize
the national house of representa-.
tives and by absences give the Re-
publicans a topheayy majority
which will result in the latter party
naming the next Speaker, brings to
the fore again the name Of Farm
er's Friend Fred" Purnell, of Attica
for that honor.
If Fred were named Speaker of the
national house he would be in a
much stronger position to pit him
self against Senator Arthur R.
Robinson for the senatorial nom
nation in 1884, it is pointed out.
AS it is, the Ninth district con-
gresham would be the gamer if
Bertrand H. Smell of New York were
elected Speaker, as that would make
the Hoosier the chairman of the
