FUND SHORTAGE STOPS ACTIVITIES OF CURB REPAIR Mr, Fixit Finds Department Suspends Operations; Money Exhausted, ■ '*l XOTHER city department, the A one .repairing broken curbs •**•l and sidewalks, has been forced to suspend operations because of shortage in funds. Officials at the city yards said complaints of broken walks would have to go unattended for the remainder of the year until new funds are available. Reduced appropriations are responsible for the department laying off men. The situation is similar to the oil appropriations or the money appropriated fo v weeds. The city is just going “broke.” _ Here is Mr. Fixit’s mail today: TO SOUTH SIDER complaining of broken sidewalks and cinders washing- off railroad elevation and on sidewalks at Virginia Ave. Although these broken walks were once reported, city officials now say shortage of funds makes it impossible to do more work. H. -G. Wray, track elevation engineer, will again order the cinders removed. He reports railtoad ties were set on the elevation, but dirt and cinders washed under them. DEAR MR. FIXIT— Residents on Rembrandt St. would like to know why the streets has not been oiled. Dust is terrible. Property owner. The street commissioner's office reports your street will be oiled from Indiana Ave. to Eighteenth St., as soon as possible. TO COMPAIXT of sunken sewer across Shelby St., at Southern Ave. The street commissioner's office has ordered gravel sent there and the street repaired. DEAR MR. FIXIT—In August, 1923, the board of works adopted a resolution to open Congress Ave. Nothing has been done. What is delaying opening of the street? Also the 400 block on Congress Ave. is a mass of weeds. G. E. King, 417 Congress Ave. Appraisement of property to he vacated is now holding up the resolution. It is in the assessment bureau at the present time, Board of works records show plans for opening of Congress Ave. from Shriver Ave. to Ethel St. were drawn by the engineer and submitted to the board Sept. 5, 1923. At the board of works office it was said the expense made the improvement doubtful at this time. Your weeds will be cut. TO COMPLAINT of smoke nuisance in vicinity of 2927 E. Tenth St. H. F. Templeton, assistant chief smoke inspector, has your complaint and will investigate as soon as observations can be made. To J. E. CRAIG, Twenty-Second and Station Sts.: Twenty-Second St., from Olnev St. to Brightwood Ave., is not billed for oil. it was said at the street commissioner's office. The money for oil is now exhausted. DEAR MR. FIXIT—The sewer on W. Twelfth St. at Brook St. is stopped up, causing the water to back up and stand in puddles. F. D. G. The sewer street commissioner’s office will attend to this complaint immediately. MR. FIXIT —Wish you would have weeds mowed on lots In Gent Ave. between Nineteenth and Twentieth Sts. The fact that you failed to sign your name to this complaint makes the weed cutting doubtful. The city uses the name for a witness to the weed cutting—when a report is made and the property owner is assessed. Along the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, thirty acres of England disippear annually as a result of sea erosion.

These | counters may be moved, one at a j time, along the row of squares, the ! plain counters moving only to the right, the marked ones only to the left. Any counter can leap over one of the opposite kind. Fig. 2 shows the first two moves: the plain counter on Square 3 moves to 4; then the marked counter on Square's leaps over it on to 3. The problem is to move the counters so skillfully that they will finally be transposed, as shown in Fig. 3. Bits of paper may be used to make the moves with. Yesterday’s answer: If one boy furnished 5 fish, and another 3. to be divided equally among the three boys; and the boy with no fish paid 8 cents for his share, the first boy should receive 7 cents and the second boy 1 cent. A common—and incorrect—answer is 5 cents for the first boy and 3 for the second. The true answer, 7 and 1, is derived as follows: There were 8 fish. Each boy ate 2 2-3. Subtract 2 2-3 from 5, .and we find the first boy furnished 2 1-3 fish to the purchaser. Subtract 2 2-3 from 3, and we find the second boy furnished : only 1-3 of a fish. As 2 1-3 is 7 times ! 1-3, the division of 7 cents to 1 cent ; is proved correct. . From Far and Near Bavaria holds the. world's record ! for beer drinking, according to Ger- j man statisticians.
