down" and. that the sharper cuts
should be made In the higher brack-
cts.
A question as to whether a general
reduction was made on all city en-
ployes brought the statement from
Lenhart that no percentage of cut
mao been applied all along the line
ana that the reductions had been
considered separately. All Of the
commissioners emphasized that their
salaries had been cut 20 per cent.
Questions as to the salary of the
auditor. accompanied by the state
ment that reports in circulation were
That he was drawing as many as five
salaries. brought retort from Len
hart that lot Of transformation had
been going around in the last few
weeks but no answer as to how much
the city is paying the auditor.
Berwman again brought up the
question of the cut on common labor
and Lenhart said the commission laa,
tried to look at the taxpayers side as
we'll as the laborer's side, bearing in
mind that when mans pay is cut

merchants feel it. He said the city is
going to lower levels on everything III
view OF the fact that most businesses
are off 30 to 40 per cent or more.
Richholt advanced the suggestion
that the costs of street work could
be reduced by adopting the section
foreman plan, saying that when
Hlnckley was street commissioner he
supervised the work himself
Answering question, Lenhart said
the city has no written contract with
John w. Reel, recreational director,
but that it had a verbal understand
ing he would be employed for three
years at $500 year. Under the
budget he was cut to $1,000.
Fails to Get Information
Barneck asked how much the city
made on its water plant this year but
was told the hearing would be lin

budget, since the water department
Is operated separately as q business.
Barneck was persistent in his de-
mand and Lenhart was stubborn in
his refusal. Later the agreement was
reached to hold public hearing on
the report of the water department
on Monday night, Aug. 8.
Barneck said he has demanded this
information in the past and always
has met with refusal or evasive an
swers. He charged Lenhart with
evading the question and asNerted
that there is a direct connection be-
tween water department finances and
the cost Of city government. His idea
Is to have the water department alb
sorb some Of the costs now being lev
led as taxes. The best Barneck could
get as to water department profits
was the statement that it is break
ing little bit better than even."
After q long exchange between
Lenhart and Barneck. A. w. Snow
commented that they had spent much
longer in discussing the matter than
1t would have taken to give the in
formation. He offered the comment
that. when the commissioners were
running for office they promised pub
lie service but now seemed to be hid
ing the facts. Lenharts retort was,
Il am surprised at you."
Carl Nelson, manager of Armour
and Company's plant, asked by Len
hart for an expression, said he feels
taxes are too high for his personal
pocketbook" and that everyone in the
employ Of his company has taken two
10 per cent salary cuts.
Question Of Individuals
Nelson said he interpreted the at
titude Of the assembly as feeling that
some city officials and employees are
getting more than they are entitled
to and asked anyone who felt that
way to express themselves. He said
the general feeling Is that the ques-
ton Is not one Of general cuts but of
individual cuts and that he was rails
ing the question for discussion. The
assembly was getting tired. however,
and no one pursued the subject fur
ther, although Nelson later observed
that there is feeling the salary cuts
were not sharp enough in the higher
brackets.
Meyer Cohen demanded to know
why pay two salaries to the city au-
ditor apd suggested that the jobs be
given to two men, or else the pay be
cut to one salary.
Lenhart replied that it would be
impossible to get $3.50 man capable
Of handling the combined jobs. Some
persons In the audience snorted. Co.
hen brought out the fact that the
city auditor last year drew a third
salary as building inspector but that
it Is not being paid this year.
Thereupon the discussion broke up
into small groups, some persons talk
ing to the commissioners and others
among themselves and the formal
hearing drifted away.
Lenhart said the commission would
take the suggestions under considera-
ton at a meeting to be held at / 80
p. m. today and most of the pro-
testers and spectators left the hall.

RAISING OF TWO
 WARSHIPS URGED

Penetanguishene. Ont - (UP)- Two famous warships, the Tigress and the Scorpion, symbolic of American and Canadian bravery during the War of 1812-14, now are rapidly disintegrating in shall low water in Penetanguishene har- ] bor. They were sunk, along with either other warships, to comply with the terms of the Rush-Bagot treaty, which allowed only two armed vessels from each of the two nations on the Great Lakes.
 The Board of Trade here met to discuss the matter. They forward ed a strongly worded petition to the federal government, saying that unless immediate steps were taken to raise them and preserve them from the elements and raids from souvenir hunters, they would soon be lost forever.
 So far, the only steps that have been taken to preserve the ships has been to send divers down to de- termine whether or not they are !! it to raise. Some doubt has been expressed by ,the divers as to whether the Scorpion can be raised, but 1t is agreed that, with very little difiiculty. 1t will be possible to raise the Tigress. and rebuild the stolen and rotted parts. sum- cient financial backing is still want ing to complete the task.
 Both the Scorpion and the TT. gress participated in the. American naval victory in tho Battle or Lake Erie, or Put.In Bay. September is' 1873, the Scorpion having tho dis. tinctlon of firing the first and lnst shots in this battle.

Scriptural Mention Of
the Raven as Scavenger

The raven, largest of the crow fam
lily, nearly thirty inches in length,
carnivorous, scavenger fond Of offal,
gluttonous in habit, is often mentioned
BY name in the sacred Scriptures. In
other places also where In the early
days of savage battling, reference is
made to dead bodies being given to
"the fowls Of the air." ravens, the
common attendants upon battlefelds,
are no doubt referred to.
The very first mention of a raven
has connection in the mind with this
grim habit, for when Noah opened the
window of the Ark after the flood and
let out a raven (Gen. SD, which
did not return, although there was
neither dry land nor tree on which to
rest, we cannot but think of the aw-
full food it would ravin upon in the
dead bodies Of beasts and human be-
ings, drowned in the frightful over
flowing of the waters everywhere.
Solomon, whose knowledge of nat
ural history was deep and keen, had
a faithful imitation of .Agur, the son
of Jakeb, who knew Of that frightful
habit of the raven, the picking out the
eyes of young or sickly lambs, so kill
ing them, and with judicial wisdom
applies that habit periodically as fol-
lows: "The eye that mocketh at his
father, and despiseth to obey his moth
er, the ravens of the valley shall pick
it out" proverbs, 30:17.

Precious Metals in Use
as Standards of Value

The gold standard is the measure
of values in monetary system; in
other words, If we wish to compare
the values of certain articles, we
say that one is worth so much gold,
another is worth more gold, anoth-
er less, etc. Before the invention
of money, all exchange was by bar
ter or trade. In the early history
Of this country, such objects as
wampun, shells, salt, tobacco and
beaver skins were used as token
money. Gold and silver were Sc
lected as the standards Of value for
several reasons; their value is large
in proportion to weight, they are
easily carried and non-perishable,
and, especially in the case of gold,
their values change but little from
year to year. The nations Of the
ancient world used both gold and
silver as standards for their coins,
then from the Seventh to the Thir-
teenth century the double standard
was in general use, then Great
Britain and later the United States
and other nations adopted the gold
standard. In this country the gold
standard implies no restriction on
gold imports or exports, the re
demption of currency in gold coin,
and the coinage by the. mint of all
gold offered it. Britain abandoned
the gold standard, this involving the
abandonment of some of these.
