 BROKE SILENCE
No Reconciliation in Sight Between Her and DOug=

Hollywood, Aug 14-(UP)- Mary Pickford hinted upon her re- turn from the east today that she and Douglas Fairbanks are not likely to reconcile their matrimon- ial differences.

 After that, I'll probably have less to say than now" the actress said.

 Miss Pickford said she was plan ming to appear in a stage produc- tion in Los Angeles and later re- turn to motion pictures.

CITY FINANCIAL
 RECORD FOR SIX
 MONTHS OF YEAR
Disbursements Were Just Just Over Half of Al=
 lOtted Budget for 1884

Disbursements of the city of Waterbury for the first six months of the year, despite the fact that they include almost $S5,000 spent in connection with the federal re- lief program in conjunction with CWA, PWA and EZRA projects, are only $7,753.55 over the mid way mark in the 1894 budget set up. This fact was disclosed today in the semi-annual report com piled by Controller Daniel J. Leary and issued by Mayor Frank Hayes.
 The total appropriations for the year are $6,s65,637.55. The dis bursements to date have totalled $3,436, 6,695.55. The balance in the budget for the remainder of the year is $3,42S,942.
 Very noticeable in the semi-an- nual report is the fact that al- though $4,939,618.32 is set up in the current budget for the ordln- ary running expenses of the city and for permanent improvements, the municipality has spent but $2,-. 530,537.92, leaving a balance yet or $2,409,080 available for the re- mainder of the year.
 During the six months the city, in conjunction with the state and federal relief programs, spent $59,- 23O.9O on CWA projects, $4,291.O3 on PWA jobs and $21, ,453.37 on the local EZRA program.
 The fact that the city has been operating on more than an even basis, practically, for the first six months, is taken to indicate that when the year ends up the loca books will show another excellen' record and prove, once more, tha the present administration is hand ling the municipal finances within the budget limitations.
 Disbursement Items Of the total appropriations fo the year, the various items, thu disbursements and balances aftel the first six months are as follows Redemption of funded debt, ST.. O06,000 set up, $373,000 disbursed
