$746,000 MORE ASKED OF CITY IN NEWBUDQET $2,050,728 Requested for Board of Works for 1928; No Salary Boosts. Appropriation of $2,050,728 for the board of works was asked in the 1928 budget request submitted to City Controller William C. Buser today. An increase of $746,000 was asked to cover operattion of the city asphalt plant, closed until recently, and light and water bill deficiencies of. 1926 anu 1927, Wayne Emmelman, board secretary, said. Several departmental requests were boosted. No salary boosts were asked. Reductions in the budgeet by the city controller and council the last two years impaired efficiency of several departments and made necessay the increase, the, board said. Huge Increase Heat, water, light and power requests total $1,021,271 while last year's figure was $660,000. The 1827 iight request was cut from $385,000 to $250,000, creating a $135,000 shortage in addition to other deficits. City Engineer Frank C. Lingenfelter, who recently started the cityasphalt plant on gasoline tax funds, declaring streets could be repaired cheaper by the city than under contract asked $16,000 for labor and wages and $30,000 for materials at the plant. Last year's budget failed to include the asphalt plant request. Street Commissioner George Woodward asked $95,200 for new equipment. His department budget totals $474,815. He "received $239,801 in 1927. Budgets Too Low; Claim Board members pointed out that it was impossible to keep streets in proper repair with the insufficient appropriation. The Shank administration turned over run down streets and further ambarrassed the Duvall aadministration with a low budget appropriation. The first year of the Duvall administration cut the budget even lower than the Shank administration in 1925. The city engineer asked $290,668 instead of $195,000 in 1927. After Buser and Mayor Duvall make alterations the budget will be passed to city council for approval. The controller and council are expected to make in all departmental requests. Berause of the new budget law prohibiting transfers all departments are expected to make requests higher than formerly. SYNTHETIC LIFE SEEN BY SIR OLIVER LODGE Perhaps It’s Inevitable. He Tell:; Oxford Society. Btt United Prrsn LONDON, June 9.—Sir Oliver Lodge, noted physicist, believes life may some day be created in laboratories by biologists, he told the Oxford, University Psychological Society last night. “From some points of view. I regard it as inevitable,” he said.

for me. but I guess I still am just a little bit old-fashioned. It seems to me that the 1927 high school girl has too much social life. “Girls of our class didn’t have so many dates. They stayed home and studied, and when they got to school in the morning they were alert, active, peppy. I believe I prefer the class of 1908.”

even skimpily dressed, as some put it. But other than that, we are little changed from the girl graduate of twenty years ago. We study hard, we want to make our mark .Q life, we are not as frivolous as some say. But our opportunities are greater, for wider fields have opened up to us. That is why we are happy to lie 1927 graduates and not 1908."

PRESIDENT NOT COMMITTED TO EXTRA SESSION Smoot's Announcement Repudiated Later by White House. Bn United Free* WASHINGTON, June 9.—An ani nouncement by Senator Smoot, Utah Republican, and an Administration ! wheel-horse, that President Coolidge had given definite assurance that an extra session of Congress would be called in October, was later repudiated by the White House. An official close to the President said verbally that Smoot’s declaration was not to be taken as an ini dication that the White House is definitely committed to an extra j session. Coolidge believes it is too early to make a definite commitment. While 1 he looks with favor upon the plan, he does not intend to be pledged now. Smoot's Statement Smoot's announcement was made after he conferred with the Presii dent. It was preceded Tuesday by ! inspired word at the White House ! that the President was favorable to bringing Congress back a month or six weeks early next fall, not so 1 much to consider flood relief legislation as to permit a running start on the heavy schedule of general I business. j The repudiation by the White ! House left Washington somewhat i puzzled. The general belief is that the President intends to call Congress back in October, but his present attitude seems to be caution rather than opposition. Nevertheless House and Senate leaders are preparing schedules in expectation that Congress will meet I in October instead of December as usual. Preparation of a tax reduction bill will begin in September before the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. Committees cnarged with flood relief legislation also will meet. First Legislation The first legislation planned by leaders is the second deficiency appropriation bill which was lost duiing the Senate filibuster last i March. It carries funds for salaries, pensions, routine government operations and public buildings. Tax legislation probably will come next; then flood relief. In addition there will be fights over farm relief. the seating of Senators-elect Varc of Pennsylvania and Smith of Illinois, national defense legislai tion. aviation development and government appropriations.

IMMIGRANT BAR REAREDHIGHER Ruling Against Chinese Boy Tightens Barrier. Bu Times Sueciul WASHINGTON, June 9. The cordon of restricted immigration laws surrounding the United States j will be “tightened substantially,” according to Labor Department officials, as a result of the United States Supreme Court decision that Chin Bow must go back to his birthplace in China. The principle established is that children of United States citizens who never have resided in this country are not entitled to citizenship rights, and are subject to the immigration laws, applying to all nationalities. Chin Bow, represented by Charles Evans Hughes, was born in China in 1914. His father, Chin Dun, never had lived in this country, but was a United States citizen because his father and Chin Bow’s grandfather, Chin Tong, had citizenship rights here. - Chin Bow claimed he was entitled to admittance. Immigration authorities refused to allow him to enter. citing a provision of the immi-' gration act of 1924 that children of United States citizens who always have lived abroad are not citizens of this country. The Supreme Court upheld that provision. BANDITS TAKE SB2 Local Youths Suspected in Plainfield Hold-up. Two bandits believed to be Indianapolis youths held up the Standard Oil filling station at Plainfield. Ind., Wednesday night and escaped with SB2. Charles Franklin, town marshal, telephoned the Indianapolis police the license number of the auto used in the robbery, as noted by Harolf Weir, attendant, as he supplied the bandit car with gasoline and oil. After obtaining a supply of fuel the man by the driver thrust a gun in Weir’s face and took the money from the safe and cash drawer. The other bandit bent up the license plates. They drove south from Plainfield. The license was traced to a local owner who has not been found.
