Also, the federal government might
save Ill, 000, 900 to 10000, 900 q month
or about $2o0. 900 900 . year. Already
the states, responding to the pressure
from washington, have increased
their monthly contributions from .
total Of $50, 900 monthly to $780,
100000.
Family Average $3S.37
In December, 1894, the average
monthly benefits to families on relief
rolls was $28.37. Swinging into the
severe winter months, FERA Officials
on January Is sent q call to 10 states
to shoulder more Of the burden.
This action was based on q study
begun last July to determine wheth-
er states could chip in more money.
There were arguments over FEIsA's
right to ask, say. 100000 more q
month from them when only 81 !O00,-
600 was requested from some other
states.
However, officials said, these dis
agreements were In many cases quick
~ cleared up through conferences and
the states provided for increased
state expenditures with some excep-
lions.
In 1888 the federal government
spent $480, COL ,763 for relief purposes
-60.6 per cent Of the total paid out
by federal, state and local govern
ments. This was increased to 81 Co.,
333.772 In 1894. or 72.3 per cent.
Hopes To Revamp System
Through the 1850. 900 work re-
lief measure, President Roosevelt
hopes to revamp the entire relief sys,
tenn. Eis plans as Officially outlined
are to take 3,500.O00 able-bodied men
and women off the present relief sys.
tenn and put them on works projects.
The "unemployables"-the physically
and mentally unfit. widows, etc.
would be returned to the care Of the
states.
The original 10 states asked to put
up more money were Arkansas, WASH
ington, Wyoming, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Colorado, Nevada, New Jersey,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ore
gon, and Utah. Later q similar re-.
quest was made Of Ohio. The in
creases asked ranged from $250, 700
monthly in the case Of some Of the
smaller states to $4,000. 900 and So
000, 900 for some Of the more prosper
Gus industrial ones. FERA officials
declined to specify the sums demand
ed from each.
Some states, officials said, contrib
uted nothing in 1888 and the first
nine months In 1894, leaving the task
entirely up to the local government
units. Among those listed were Ala
bama, Florida, Nebraska and Wyo-
ming. In the case Of Alabama, for
instance. the federal government
granted $22,500.O00 in the Il months
while local funds were said to be
limited to only $4,000.

SUMMER CONCERTS
Early Disposal of Barge Promised
as Figures on Symphony
Audiences Are Told.

Announcing that the total attend.
ance at all the concerts Of the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra at the
Watergate, near the Lincoln Memorial,
during the Summer season was 1O4,-
800, C. Marshall Finnan, superintend-
ent of the National Capital parks,
said yesterday the barge which ac-
commodated the musicians will be
moved Immediately.
The barge is the property of the
Navy, having been brought here from
Norfolk, Va. Just what disposition is
to be made Of it depends upon the
outcome of negotiations between the
naval authorities and those of the
National Symphony Orchestra, Fin
nan said. The superstructure, with
the sounding effects, was constructed
with the aid Of Federal Emergency
Relief Administration workers, di-
rected by william Haiber, engineer of
the National Capital parks, who drew
up the design.
The park authorities are anxious to
have the barge moved without delay,
inasmuch as ther Is gangway
from the shore line to the craft. At
the present time it is easily accessible,
Finnan said, and might possibly be
damaged by intruders.
Finnan pointed out the public gave
its patronage equally well on Sun
days and Wednesday evenings. the two
occasions each week on which the ar
chestra was heard since July. There
were $4,000 on Sundays altogether.
and the grand total for Wednesdays
was $1,000.

Stamp Shortage
CurtaiIs Action of
Traffic '"Spotters"
Bro,cn Says Effective
Police Campaign
Also Reason.

A shortage Of stamps has led to
temporary curtailment Of operations
of the 200 volunteer spoilers" who
were named several months ago to aid
in the traffic educational campaign
by reporting motorists who violated
regulations.
Lack of appropriations for stamps
and forms to be sent to motorists
were given by Maj. Ernest Brown as
two principal reasons for the cur
tailment.
The police superintendent added,
however, that another reason is the
success Of the present traffic safety
campaign by police who arrest the
traffic offenders. The latter campaign
began its sixth week today.

Mrs. Pritchard up about month

Circumstances.

Failure Of a portion Of the coils in

Building was indicated today by Fred
A. Ssger. chief engineer of the Public
Utilities Commission, as first cause
Of the explosion there August IA,
which injured several persons.
The explosion might have been pre-
vented, however, had a circuit breaker
in transformer at the Treasury De-
partment, attached to the same net
work Of power lines, worked properly,
Sager reported to the commission.
Because the Treasury switch was not
kicked of" by the short circuit in the
Post transformer, he found, power
was fed back into that plant through
the Treasury unit.
Sager recommended a change in
the type Of insulation employed in
transformers with a view to prevent
ing explosions where there is short
circuit in the coils.
He also suggested strict mainte-
nance OF all protective devices al
places not owned by or controlled by
the power company, such as those al
the Treasury. which is owned by the
Federal Government and not subject
to power company control. If this j:
not done, then separate high-tensior
cables should be installed to feed such
plants, he added.

said, showed circuit-breakers at tn,
