ASK RULES LIFTED

Bauer headed a group of archi-
tacts requesting the board to de
clare a state of emergency" waiv-
ing fireproof building requirements
because OF the shortage of ma
terials.
Under the congressional COM
munity facility bill federal funds
were made available in defense
areas for school purposes, but the
act requires a fireproof building,
Bauer said.
I'VE can't obtain priorities on
steel and federal authorities are
starting TO wit h draw their
funds" he added.
DR.. Eugene B. Elliott, state su-
perintendent of public instruction,
revealed that federal funds allo-
Gated to more than 20 schools have
been withdrawn because of the
ruling requiring 200 per cent
usage of schools"
This means schools In defense
areas must operate on q double
shift basis" he said, starting at
1880 to noon and from noon to
4:30. IL would mean two teach
ing STATS and split educations."

Quadrup|ed,
Survey Shows.
Dr.. eruber Attempted
TO Withhold Records.
Charges Auditor Hafeli

Figures TO show that pay rolls
at Eloise Hospital and Infirmary
have quadrupled in the last 10
years while the number of patients
has decreased were before the
board of supervisors today.
The statistics were brought out
in a survey conducted, 1t was
charged at a special hearing yes
terday. by the county auditors
over protests of the board of
county institutions.
At one time, Auditor Ray Ha-
feb told supervisors, his investiga-
tors were denied Eloise records by
DR.. Thomas X. Gruber at the
specific orders OF the board.
TWO RECOMMENDATIONS
Two recommendation were
made by the auditors. One was
aimed at an investigation OF costs,
the other at a renewed effort TO
collect from the state money
owing for the care OF state pa
tients.
The county claims Michigan was
short $1,000 900 last year in pay
ments to the county.
The county board of institutions
was ordered to report back on the
possibilities of economies after the
auditors had disclosed skyrocket-
ing costs.
Among high spots of the finan-
cial report were:
costs per patient in 1882 were
SOP against $679 for 1912.
sStaff of 79l employees cared
for 9.057 patients in 1888 COM
pared 10 staff of 1,848 employees
for 1872 patients at present.
Zone hundred and fifty-one en-
ployes added since 1888. "appar-
emily without Justification" &C.
cording to the auditors.
DERELICT IN DUTY
Zone person on pay roll now 10
each SO patients.
Budget of $7S6, 1886 in 1893 will
be pushed to an indicated ST.
233, 231 for 1912.
State patients are the obliga-
ton of the state" said the re-
port. "If we continue TO care
for state patients ut less than
half their cost. then many peo-
pie are derelict I'm their duty
and may be held accountable for
wilful negligence"

Sheldon Ryan Transferred

Under date of August 7. Pvt.
Sheldon Ryan, son of Mr.. and Mrs
L. M. Ryan, of East Windsor,
writes this office the following in
teresting letter:
Will write you few lines to let
you know that | have taken anoth-
er army train ride. and the end of
the line was Lowry Field, Colorado.
Received orders July 80 to pack
and be ready to ship out of Jeffer-
son Barracks at 7:45 the next day.
By the time the army finished their
red tape, it was 1880 before we
were on the train and ready to
leave
If l am correct, l think there
We're II coaches of us when we left
The first part of our trip was up
the Missouri river valley TO Kansas
City, Mo, with the tracks of the
Missouri Pacific running close to
the river. Engine trouble at JEFF
ferson City, Mo-, caused us a very
long delay, and we arrived at Kan
sas City, at 1870 p. m, instead of
p. m, as the plans We're Then
more delay occurred as we changed
to Pullmans on the Union Pacific,
and there We're not enough cars, so
part of us were forced to wait until
2:15 for car, but we came out on
top with new air conditioned
coach, the only one of the entire
train
When | awoke we were at juno
tion City, Kan. Had passed through
Fort Riley but never knew it Be-
cause of our late time, an extra
meal was needed on the train and
food was scarce but the cooks got
a meal fixed up for us and no one
had any fault to find At Kansas
City several of the boys took trains
for Sioux Falls, and Las Vegas,
New, and we picked UP boys from
Miami Fla. There were 10 coaches
of us when We arrived at Lowry
Field at about $50 Saturday ev-
ening, Aug l.
Lowry Field is about eight miles
from Denver, and has somewhere
around $4,000 or 10000 men, most
of whom are attending school here.
You can see Denver from here and
good view of the mountains which
they say are around so miles away.
Enjoyed seeing the rolling prairie
land of Kansas and Colorado, but
would not care to live there-too
barren for us Ohio boys, / guess.
We were forbidden to leave the
train or to mail any letters or
cards while we were travelling on
the train. No one was supposed to
know where we were going.
VIII start to school here next
Monday in the armored school in
which all Of us who came will go.
There are two classes at school.
The one | am in is from 2 .. m.
until 10 at night, with a one hour
break for supper, 1t will be six
days a week, so for the next three
months l will be busy most Of the
time

Barracks, I went over to the open
air theatre there and saw Jeanette
Mcdonald in person, and heard her
sing, which was fine. Hope to get

what kind of city it is. Sunday
will be the only free time we will

Well, Ray, / think l had better

will probably be awakened by the
noise. Will write again when | find
