priation last year of $52,780 for

ton and repair work to fire en-
gine stations.

includes an item Of $3,163, 900 for
personal services of members Of
the department and $137,270 for

ing respective increases of $50, 780

CENTER To GET
S1,600,000

A sum of $1,000, 900 was set
aside in the budget for the con-
tinuing of the first unit of the
Municipal Center. The sum is
an increase of 100000 over the
appropriation set aside last year
for the beginning of the project.
Breaking down the total figure,
the budget recites that sum
not to exceed 100000 is to be
available for acquisition of land
and that 100000 be available
for the grading and paving Of
streets within or adjacent to the
Municipal Center.
An original estimate Of $3,000,-
900 was sought for this work in
the budget, but this figure was
greatly cut by the commissioners
before their recommendations
were sent to the Bureau of the
Budget.

A personal lnVeStlgatlOn OF

President Hoover's Commission on
Home Ownership may result in a

probably be laid before Congress
at its present session.

declines last month resulted in an in
crease from 858 per cent to eli per
cent In the average yield on the $40
active cash dividend paying common
stocks listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, the monthly analysis by
Moodys Investors Service reveals. The
9.7l per cent yield as of June l COM
pares with 8.08 per cent on 428 stocks
on November 10. 1929, and $50 per
cent on 397 stocks at the middle of last
December.
The present yield differs but slightly
from the peak of 992 per cent on
August "a, 1921, the survey states. Cur
rent stock yields may in fact be regarded
as relatively higher, since the return on
high grade bonds is much lower than
10 years ago." Moodys contends.
THE prevailing high yields exist de-
spite an unprecedented number of
dividend reductions. Since the begin
ming Of the bear market over half of the
active cash dividends paying stocks
have either reduced or passed their
dividends. The great ma iority OF divi-
dend omissions represent elimination of
high individual yields. while reductions
have naturally also tended to decrease
average yields"

creases in average yields during May,

LONDON, March l3.-The Fran

Of the greatest among number Of
important postwar peace moves"
and opened the way for reduction
Of the worlds navies at Geneva in
1882, A. v. Alexander, first lord Of
the admiralty, said today.
The most significant result of the
accord is the avoidance of what
threatened to become a renewed
race in naval armament, Alexander
said.
Apart from the qualification I
feel because the agreement has been
approved unanimously in Great
Britain, I am delighted that for
the time being we have found it
possible to avoid recourse to Article
Il Of the London naval treaty (the
clause under which signatories
might give notice Of the necessity to
increase their armaments) pending
reconsideration of the entire ques-
ton of the world disarmament con-
ference at Geneva in 1892.
so long as there existed the I'M
certainty Of Franco-Italian naval
requirements, Europe obviously had
the Sword of Damocles hanging
over her, resulting in nervousness
in political centers which undoubt-
edly would be a most serious OBJ
stacle to future peace moves, espe-
cially the world disarmament con-
ference" he said.
BY the italian agreement
We are now assured that naval COM
petition in all categories of vessels
will cease Immediately, enabling US
to concentrate earnestly and in a
letter spirit on future disarmament. :"

 Geneva, November - (UP) = Apprehension of the League of Na- tions over the situation in Manchu- ria was greatly increased today by the battle between Japanese and Chinese forces along the Nonni River. The leagues strongly worded protests and demands on Japan apparently having failed, China was expected to appeal mo- mentarily under article XIV of the league covenant, which might leave the league in the position of issu- ing an ultimatum to Japan or backing down completely.
 Article XIV gives the council the right to act without unanifnity. and the members of the league the right "to take such action as they shall consider necessary for the maintenance of right and justice. q Application of the ensuing article XVI would entail a commercial boycott and other penalties against the offending nation.
