MORE PAVING DONE AS COST HIT HIGH MARK Engineer’s Figures Show Tremendous Additional Expenditures. TWO YEARS COMPARED Despite the fact that the average cost per mile was J30.950.1C higher in 1920 than In 1919, the administration of Mayor Charles W. Jewett laid entirely new pavement In 5.54 miles more streets last year than the year before, figures from the annual report of Frank C. Lingenfelter, city civil engineer, disclose. The administration also resurfaced 1.41 miles more of streets in 1920 than In 1919 at a cost of 51.510.2 C per mile higher. Several more miles probably would have been newly paved and resurfaced had not property owners blocked the board of public works by remonstrances which were upheld by the anti-adminis-tration faction In the city council. The true cost per mile for both 1920 and 1919 can not be determined exactly from the engineer’s report for the reason that the cost per square yard Is given only for 1920. Some streets are wider than ethers so the only exact method of comparing such cost is on the yardage bas's. However, in a total of several miles of •treets It is generally conceded that there have been enough of the same width resurfaced or originally paved in the two years to make a comparison upon the mileage basis, which may be figured from the report with reasonable accuracy. BITI\MINOI'S PAVING CAUSED INCREASE. The $30,000 increase in the average cost per mile of original pavement over 1919 is due to the fact that a great deal more bituminous concrete pavement was laid In 1920 than in 1919. Bituminous concrete, according to the figures for 1920, cost an average of $3,76 per square yard, which Is 17 cents more than the cost of asphalt pavement. In 1920 a total of C. 97 miles of bituminous concrete pavement was laid as compared with only .44 miles in 1919. In 1920 a total of 11.S0 miles of original pavement was laid at a total cost of $947,276.51. making cost per mi'e, $50.277.C7, as compared with 3.26 miles laid at a total cost of $160,709.90, and an average cost of $49,297.51 per mile In 1919. Wooden block, asphalt, bituminous concrete, brick and reinforced concrete were the materials used on both paving and resurfacing during 1919 and 1920. ENGINEER’S TABLE SHOWS INCREASE. Nine and one-hundredths miles of pavement were resurfaced in 1920 at a total cost of $635,794.57 and an average cost per mile of $70,554.32, as compared with 7.60 miles at a total cost of $522.454.87 and an average cost per mile of $68,714.06 In 1919. Asphalt was the principal material used in both years. The tremendous increase In the cost

Street Expense Is Heavy Increase The Jewett administration paved and resurfaced more streets In 1920 than In 1919, but the cost was thousands of dollars per mile more, the annual report of the citly civil engineer shows. The annual report of City Comptroller Robert H. Bryson, made public several weeks ago, disclosed that the administration in 1920 spent $8,622,718.83 out of funds raised by taxation and fees. The engineer's report shows that $1,877,322.37 was spent during 1920 on street improvements, sewers, sidewalks and alleys, which sum was raised by direct assessment of property owners and is in addition to the sum mentioned In the controller’s report. The two figures added show that the Jewett administration spent $lO,500,040.70 altogether last year.

of street making since before the war is shown by a comparative table prepared by the engineer's office. In comparison with the $80,277.67 average cost per mile of original paving in 1920 is the average cost per mile of $31,174.69 in 1910 and of $31,025.47 in 1914. Where 11. SO miles of new pavement cost $947,276.51 in 1920, 13.54 miles were newly paved for $420,124.59 In 1914. According to the engineer's table 3.06 miles of cement sidewalks were laid in 1919 at a cost of $23,954.58 and 8.60 miles at a cost of $117,256.41 in 1920. From these figures the average cost per mile in 1919 would appear to be $7,828. The same figures show that the average cost increased in 1920 to $13,634 per mile.

LANSING GIVES VIEWS ON BREAK Says He Objected to President Wilson Attending Paris Conference. NEW YORK, March 25 Robert Lanslng's.'Own story of his break with President Wilson was made public here today. The former Secretary of State, In his book, "The Peace Negotiations,” dismissed with a paragraph, President Wilson's statement that Lansing’s resignation was desired because he had overstopped himself in calling Cabinet meetings while the President was ill. The real cause of the break, he said, was the peace negotiations. It began with the secretary’s objection to the President personally attending the Paris conference and widened as the negotiations proceeded. Lansing names seven points of marked disagreement with the President. They were: “1. His presence in Paris during the peace negotiations and especially his presence there as a delegate to the peace conference. “2. The fundamental principles of the constitution and functions of a League of Nations as proposed or advocated by him. ’’3. The form of the organic act known as the ’covenant,’ Its elaborate character and Its Inclusion In tho treaty restoring a state of peace. "4. The treaty of defensive alliance with France. “5. The necessity for a definite program which the American commissioners could follow in carrying on the negotiations. 6. "The employment of private interviews and confidential agreements in reaching settlements, a practice which gave color to the charge of ‘secret diplomacy.’ 7. "The admission of the Japanese claims to the possession of German treaty rights at Kiao-Chau and in the province of Shantung.” Lansing’s book is a development of these seven points with the story of the conference to show how he differed with the President and the President's attltudo toward suggestions. Lansing gives a detailed account of the “Flume affair” and the “Shantung settlement" In developing his charge that the President was willing to go to extreme lengths In trading in order that the League of Nations covenant might be approved by the other powers.

HASTY ACTION AGAINST HUNS NOT PROBABLE French Urge New Penalties, but Allied Council Delays Taking Steps. PARIS, March 25.—Despite the demands of the French for new and immediate penalties to compel Germany to meet her Indemnity obligations, It has been learned from an authoritative source that the allies do not contemplate any hasty action. Following Germany’s latest note refusing to make payments of approximately 12,000.000,000 gold marks which the allies claim are due before May 1, Gustave Herve, the political expert of La Yictoire, urgently advised the immediate occupation of Essen. The journal suggested that the allies take over and administer all German industries. "The French favor new sanctions, including the eventual seizure of the customs at all German seaports,” said the Matin. The council of ambassadors held no meeting today. The diplomats are awaiting fresh instructions from the allied governments before taking any action. Conversations are under way between the French and British foreign offices upon the allies' future plans but there has been no inkling as to what these plans will embrace. The nllies have under contemplation Germany’s latest note refusing to meet the entente's demands and rejecting the entente's position on the value of the goods already turned over as part of the indemnity payments. The influential newspaper L’Homme Libre takes the attitude that while stern measures probably will be necessary, It Is not Imperative for the allies to act before May 1. THIN PEOPLE NEED B.TRO- - All that most weak, nervous, thin, men-tally-depressed people need Is ten grains of pure organic phosphate with each meal for a few weeks.

Because of its power to help | create healthy flesh and strengthen weak : nerves, much of it ts being sold to people ! who are lacking in vitality. ! CAUTION: Although Illtro-Phosphate is an excellent aid in relieving weak, nervous conditions, Its use is not advised | unless increased weight is^desired.— Ad--1 vertisement.
