in 1905. He was then % years old.
First OF all, on coming to New York
Bruere made survey Of public bath
houses for william H. Allen. director of
the Association for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor. He uncovered
padded pay rolls and various other
abuses. There he came In contact with
Robert Fulton Cutting. president Of the
association, and leaders Of the Citizens
Union. He talked to Cutting and Allen
about this idea Of applying industrial
technique to the chaotic hit-or-miss
city government. Before long Cutting
and Andrew Carnegie and John D.
Rockefeller and E. H. Hartman were
financing q Bureau OF City Betterment
which turned into the Bureau Of Mu-
nicipal Research-with scope for young
Bruere to find what he could find.
Budget System Discussed.
One day while he was feeling his way
along Veblen dropped in, renewing an
old acquaintance. Veblen chose to talk
that day about budgetry and financial
systems in Europe and he emphasized
finance and the budget as the basis OF
governmental policy. A budget might

Well, that was the cue. There fol-
lowed an immense amount Of hard. de-
tailed work which led to all sorts of
things. An analysis Of the city's cur
rent procedure disclosed not only graft
and dishonesty but also an abundance
of plain pinheaded stupidity.
Out Of II all came the functional
organization of the city government and

but In Europe; for New York's budget

Mitchell, politically prominent, became
q logical candidate for the fusion ticket
| fighting Tammany in 1914. The cleo
tion over, he said to Bruere: Henry.
you'll have to come along and help me
work out administration plans"
Bruere was placed in the job Of city
chamberlain. which had few duties,
with the understanding that he would
| spend most OF his time as Mitchel's
| aide. working ON the reorganization of
the city government.
| Two years later he told the Board of
Estimate that the position Of city
chamberlain was q sinecure. a waste OF
good $4,000 q year. and insisted that
his word he quit the Job.
However. several business organiza-
tions thought Bruere, able in analysis
and decisive In action was the fellow
they needed. Maybe he figured that
| the kind of work he had been doing
offered pretty uncertain livelihood for
q man with q growing family. Anyway
he accepted one Of these offers and be-
came vice president Of the American
Metal Co.
He was to have one more fling,
though, at the old kind of work. His
job with the American Metal Co. took
Mexico. There he met representatives
OF the Mexican government. They dis
cussed the finances Of their govern
ment with him. discovered his expert
ences with government finance and
asked him to help them put their
shattered financial house on new
foundations. It looked like something
worth doing. SO after securing approval
of the plan from the United States
Government he took leave OF absence
from the American Metal Co.. accepted
the post of financial adviser. brought in
some expert accountants and soon had
the government working on a budget
system.
Went With Insurance Company.
Whether Henry Bruere was entirely
happy in his job with the American
Metal Co. which he held for little
over six years, I don't konw. At any
rate. when the chance came to do a
different kind OF work. he was not loath
TO accept it.
He had met Haley F1ske. then presi-
dent OF the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Co. They had several talks, and Brue.e,
exercising a habit Of his. made some
suggestions. analyzing certain depart
ments of the insurance company, and

in here" And that was that.
Five years later he considerably upset
the old man by resigning to become vice
president and treasurer OF the Bowery
Savings Bank. He was made president
in 1881.
So Henry B-uere started out thoroughly
soaked in the idea of social service. and
got a hard headed legal and economic
training to do il. He spent IS years at
the job. hitting hard and ably. Then
he spent six years in thoroughly COM

STRAWBERRY VARIETIES

Last year We started in the Rich
land community a plot consisting
of seven varieties of strawberries,
These included the New Oregon,
Blakemore, Improved Clark, U. S.
d. A. $40, Red Heart, Wray Red
and Premier, says E. C. Durdle,
county agent.
The New Oregon was secured
from growers of this community
who had secured their plants from
the outside. According to DR.. OAR
row, who is one Of the foremost
strawberry experts in the United
States, the New Oregon is prob
ably a selection from the Marshall
which is the berry most widely
grown in Western Washington and
Western Oregon. The Improved
Clark was secured from Mr.. Carl
son from plants which he had Sc
cured from Hood River. This is
not the Uhlrich, however, which is
a later selection from the Clark
Seeding. The u. S. D. A. $40 is q
new variety produced by crossing
of several varieties and selecting
out for the type of plant and berry
and earliness wished for. This is
the first year that this variety has
been tried out in this area. The Red
Heart is new berry being tried in
Western Oregon and one which DR..
barrow suggested might be worth
our while to try out. We think the
other varieties do not need furth-
er comment.
Two rows of each variety were
planted side by side on light,
sandy loan having slight east
slope. There was also slight
slope to the north but because Of
the narrowness of the patch this
should not have any influence upon
stand of variety. It was hoped to
secure from these plants this
spring enough young plants to set
two other larger fields in the coun-
ty. The winter injury however will
delay any work of this kind for an
other year.
A careful estimate of stand of
the plants shows the following
the New Oregon, % percent; Blak-
more, 80 percent; Improved Clark,
SO percent; U. S. D. A. $50, 20;
Red Heart, 20; Wray Red, 20; Pre-
mier, 40. This check was made on
May 20.
1t was difficult to check closely
on earliness due to the difference
in stand. The New Oregon and Red
