 Citroens' plan envisioris:
 Complete suppression of custom barriers.
 Road building.

 Agreement to build a producing plant, if the government desires, as soon as 100000 ears are in circu- lation and annual sales reach 20,- 900.
 The gift" would dispose of sey- eral million used cars, Citroen said. At the same time produc- ing government could increase the tax on automobiles more than seven years old. s
 Roads would be improved by means of a bond issue of s400.000,- 900, the interest of which "easily could be paid by part of the econ- omies" resulting from the plan, Citroen concluded.

Observe the
 Sanitary Code Health Officials Always Handicapped for Lack
 of Funds

Talking about the city budget reminds people who had to do with such work that mostly every body wants provision made for the things he feels the need of mostly with the result that it is no easy matter to know where to stop and not get into trouble. It is differ ent with what concerns the whole people. How many do you hear making a demand for a little more money for the health department, and yet there is no arm of the city government that should receive more consideration.
 The city has. a good sanitary code, but it amounts to little or nothing, not because of any neglect on the part of health officer. but on account of lack of funds to car ry out the provisions of the law. Anybody who took the pains to make the rounds of the city and look at the mountains of tin cans, spring beds, mattresses and other discarded truck piled up by the men in charge of the Mutual Aid Unemployment forces. would won- der why Waterbury did not have more sickness the past summer. IHlH OIQ6I 6llOuko AlO( OC PCA iiAtkCo to exist any longer. There should be- rigid inspection of yards, eel lars, and other places and means at command of the officials to see that accumulations of filth are carted to the dumping grounds. But it is the old story: Whats everybody's business is nobody's business, and you rarely heard a whimper about nests of filth until an epidemic of sickness sets in, and even then it is kept under cover. If the health board had the funds necessary to keep the city clean and failed to do their duty they would be open to severe criticism, but this is something the board never had.
 It is folly to try and take care of the health of a city of 100000 souls on the system in use years ago. Tn addition to the increase of population there is the new plan of living. At the present time almost every family has a barrelful of empty tin cans once week and no place to dispose of them. In all such cases there is the temptation to unload them somewhere. Evidence of this is noticeable in all parts of the city. For want of any better plan of disposal. city teams should make d tour of the streets at stated in- tervals and notice published which would apprige people of these visits so that they could have refuse ready and get it out of the way and small expense to the public.
 All this is in the hands of the legislative body of the city. the board of aldermen, They hold the purse strings of the city and If they do not provide the funds, boards cannot give satisfactory re- suits.

Although in 1912, the first full year

the Standard Oil Company as an
accountant, and for some time was
located in Baltimore. Later he was
transferred to Germany where he
remained for several months. For
more than a year he was in South
America, returning to Georgetown
about five months ago. Since that
time he has been located in Hous-

with his grandparents since the
death of his mother.
