farmer Want AAa Xc a word
The -Board of Apportionment and
Taxation, last night voted- to ask the
Common Counoll to appropriate $250
from the unappropriated, revenues to
cover a clerical error in the appro
priation for the personal tax collec
tors. W. T. Sinks discovered the er
ror and explained that it was an over
sight for which he was- responsible.
Ater some discussion, it was decided
to ask the Common Council for the
money.
Sigmund Xjoewith presided as chair
man, in the absence of President
M. Cooper. Mayor Wilson, at whose
suggestion the monthly meeting was
held,, was not present.
Ait error of $3,000 in the sprinkling
appropriation for the First District
was also reported, but no action was
taken,, as B. IX Fierce, Jr., chairman
of the sub-committee, was forced to
leave the meeting early. Mr. Pierce
said he believed the board couldn't
make an appropriation after the Feb
ruary meeting' and' urged that the er
ror . be covered next year by a. de
ficiency appropriation. The matter
-will bo straightened out at the April
Again the hoard members had some
discusion over the legality of the sur
plus fund, accumulated -by the city
auditor and used as working capital
for running the city between the end
of the fiscal year and the time when
taxes come in. Many members urged
that this fund be available for appro
priations and the working capital be
provided in other ways. Oity Auditor
Keating will be asked to explain more
fully the use and legality of , the main
tenance fund.
Y. M: C. A. BOYS PLAN
BIG HOLIDAY WEEK
Although, - the warmth of spring is
beginning to be felt in the air, and
tne cold or winter evenings , is a
thing of the past, it is not to be
imagined that the Boys department
of the Y. M. C. A. has ceased its ac
tivities. The results attained by the
big war game are new .being mani
fested. The eighty odd new members
secured during that time surely are a
good lively bunch.
Next week is vacation week in the
schools, but not so in this place.
There will be more "doing" than ever.
Included in the program for the holi
tSays are the following events:
Monday, a trip through the Ameri
can Graphophone Co.
Tuesday, a day's hike under the lea
dership of Mr. Tucker.
Wednesday, a trip through the lo
comobile Co.; a big grammar school
"gym" class.
Friday, a trip through the Tost
Typewriter and Ribbon factories; an
other hike.
On the following Monday there will
be a department track meet
Sunday afternoon the popular walks
and stories will be begun once more.
During the month of April two big
"stunts" are due to be pulled off.
On the 10th the annual banquet; on
the 28th a "camp-fest", to which all
former or prospective campers axe
cordially, invited.

the Madero family who were driven
out of Mexico after Francisco 1. Ma
dero, Jr the ex-president, was slain

property and re-establish themselves
in Mexico again if the tide of affairs
turns their way. Among the latest
arrivals from Havana were Mrs. Sarah
P. Madero, the widow, and her little
nephew and nieces Antonio, Mer
cedes and Maria Zirlon. Also in the
party were . Madera's three sisters
Angelea, Mercades and Mrs. Rafaela
Zirion, mother of the three children
mentioned. Madero, the elder, had
already arrived and was established
with two of his children. There was
a reunion following the arrival of the
widow and the others, and plans were
talked over for the future. Nothing
definite was reached as far as ..was
made public. Mrs. Madero is taking
an active part in the family confer'

MELLEN PROTESTS
FOLLXREW BILL
NEW HAVEN' PRESIDENT WRITES
G.QVERNOB SULiZEB ABOUT
' MEASURE,
President Mellen of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford raihroad
has written the following letter 'to
Gov. Sulzer New - York, protesting
against the so-called full crew bill:'- '
"I am advised you will shortly have
before you a bill for approval which
is known as the Jackson full crew
-bill, and I trust you will pardoii me
for -bringing to your notice serious
objections from the standpoint, of a
corporation doing- a -verr large busi
ness wlthtn the State of New York.
"This lays down a rule providing
for a certain number of men on each
train regardless of the work of the
train in .question. .
"Express freight trains involving
but little work, where the crew is
rarely called upon to leave the ca
boose, and express passenger trains,
where there is practically no work
whatever devolving upon the crew.
are required to be manned with sub
stantially the same number of men
as local 'trains, both passenger and
freight, where there is a very large
amount of work to be done and the
size of the crew is regulated only by
the number of cars in the train.
"Such a bill adds seriously to the
operating expenses of railroads doing
business within the State of Jew
York and contributes in no way that
I can see to the safety of passengers
or performs any usef ul service in con
nection with the train. It adds in no
way additional security.
"A similar bill was vetoed by your
predecessor in office and also by Gov.
Foes in Massachusetts.
"If the matter were left to the Pub
lic Service Commission and each train
were manned according to the necessi
ties of the -work to be performed by
the same there would still be objec
tion, although much that is now ob
jectionable would be eliminated.
"The burdens upon all railroad cor
porations at the present time through
the passage of legislation not dissim
ilar to that referred to in this letter j
are serious, and -with the railroads'
Income limited ( for it is well night
impossible to secure any advance in
the prices we receive for the trans
portation furnished) the enactment of
such legislation into law by your ap
proval will add to the burdens and
lessen the efficiency of the transpor
tation companies operating in, .your
State." -- - -. - -.-..r .
