Members of the local chapter of the D. A. E. said today that very little was known here other than that such n program was under consideration by the state organlz- ation. Mrs Adrian Mulloy. chair man of. the local committee ap- pointed to work under state off cials fin promoting the legislation, could not be reached for state- rnent.
 In Bridgeport, where the D. A.. R. recently proposed the organlza- . tion of clubs in the schools as n means of increasing interest in his- tory, charges that the society was attempting to instil propaganda" in the schools were made by the socialist party. The movement: aroused a controversy which is still being waged between political groups, the Bridgeport chapter of the D. A. R.. and the board of edu- cation in that city. According to Dr T. J. Condon. superintendent of Waterbury schools, there has been no proposal of this kind here.

Increase In Number
 Of Persons On Relief
Contrary to National EZRA Headquarters Figures,
 Director Harris Reports Gain Locally

Contrary to figures released to- day from national EZRA head quarters showing a decrease of 2 per cent in the number of persons on relief in Waterbury for Decem- Der, there was actually an increase, according to William M. Harris, EZRA and Mutual Aid director.
 As in the case of figures for Mo- vember, recently published, the Mutual Aid has not been included in the estimates, Mir Harris points out. There was an increase in the number of persons cared for by the MButual Aid during the month.
 The report of Administrator Harry l.. Hopkins shows an in- crease of four per cent in the number of persons on public relief rolls in statistics gathered from Al cities throughout the country,

 MT Harris said New Haven fig ures have been found to be padded" During discussion of the statistics at q meeting of adminis- trators in New Haven last night he said he personally called the atten- tion of New Haven authorities to the apparent discrepancy between the number of persons on relief and the number of~individual fam flies. A division would indicate eight of nine persons per family on the basis of published figures, MT Harris claims.

$20.350,7O6, while modernization
work, exclusive of equipment in

NEW YORK, May 4.-Engineer.
ing construction awards for April
total $11.972,000 compared with
SOL, $4,000 a year ago, as re-
ported by Engineerings News-Rec-
ord.
This is a gain of Is per cent,
due to the substantial increase in
private construction, from ST.
1877 900 last April to $42,439, 900
this year. Public construction
compares $83,455, 900 last April
with $74,533,000 this year of
which State and municipal work
a year ago represented $59,111,-
900 in 1884 compared with $751;
$4,000 this year and Federal
work made up $24,344,000 last
April and $19,396,O0O this year.
Total awards to date for the
first four months of this year at
$424, 283 900, compared with $486,-
$4,000 for the same period last
year, are down 1912 per cent. Pri-
vate work totals $108, 487 900, COM
pared with $81, $4,000, gain of
almost 33 per cent.
The E. Mr.. cost index has
dropped about 7.8 points below
leCt years high, due principally
to the price adjustment of lumber
after the first of the year, and to
a slight lowering in the labor wage
average. 1t has steadied close to
1874 and held this position for
three consecutive months. The
volume index benefits from this
adjustment downward and climbs
to 100 this month.

INCREASES

CHICAGO, May 4.-American
urban families are going to pay
about 240 million dollars more
house rent in 1885 than they did
two years ago, it is estimated by
the Home Building and Home
Owning Committee of the United
State Building and Loan League.
Unless a conspicuous move to.
ward home-oWnership takes place
this spring and summer the rent
ers will find themselves paying an
aggregate of around 3,731 million
dollars for leased shelter this year,
according to L. w. Pellet, New,
burgh, N. Y, chairman of the
League committee.
Mr.. Pellets estimate is based
on a probable conservative rise in
rents for the rest of the year in
accordance with the monthly rise
noted since the uptrend began a
year ago. Recent exhaustive
studies on outgo of family funds
for city rentals showed 1850 mil
lion dollars to be the estimated
expenditure in 1881, and 1885 is
expected to rise to about 81 per
cent Of that figure, Mr.. Pellet
pointed out. He said:
THE logical way for the renters
to circumvent the added outlay
for shelter is for them to buy
homes. There is supply of homes
for owner-occupancy on the mar
ket at prices which will give the
buyer an edge on the renter be.
