TELL CITY TO BUY PROPERTY QF EVANS AT $1,800 FIGURE John Schwegman and Frank Englebert appeared before the board of pub11c works today ' and asked that the question of assessment for the cost of property to be condemned as a site for the JirOposed SOUtU G "street bridge be re-opened by the board, and that all properties between South Fifth and Ninth streets, and South I and Main streets be assessed for such purpose. In the matter of the Evans estate, which owns property on the west bank of the river on the proposed ; bridge site, representatives of which estate have asked $2,000 damages of the city and retention of ownership, Schwegman and Englebert called attention to the fact that a real estate agency bad some time ago been Instructed to sell this property for $1,800. They suggested that the city purchase the property at this figure and reimburse itself through' assessment of the properties held benefited by the construction of the bridge: ' The propositions advanced by these two men were turned down flat by the board and Wilfred Jessup, attorney for the Evans interests, said the property would not be sold for $1,800. The city has awarded the Evans interests $200 for their property, which action has been appealed to the circuit court, a demand of $2,000 being made.

At the same time, the motor car company received word that its Pilot Six 45, a 1916 model, had been awarded the first cup in a sociability run of 1,375 miles from Minneapolis to Yellowstone park, in which it was the lowest priced machine entered and the only one to climb Mt. Washburn, an elevation' of 11,000 feet. J. W. Conner, sales and advertising manager returned from Detroit today after signing a dealer there to sell Pilots. The extension of the plant has been delayed by the uncertainty of the copper and brass markets which has been responsible for delays in filling the 1916 contracts. ; Twenty-five 1916 models to be delivered are under construction. -When completed, part of the old factory section will be torn aut to make room for a larger twoItory building. Wedges of appropriate Bhape for ltralghtening crooked toes have been patented.

WILL ASK REASON WHY GERMAN PRESS CRITICISES GERARD
WASHINGTON, Sept 14 Official action by Secretary of State Lansing will be taken to learn the cause of the continuous criticism by German newspapers of Ambassador Gerard in Berlin, state officials stated today.

" ' :r- '' When an explanation is forthcoming from Gerard ar memorandum is expected to be sent to the German government as!an Intimation that further criticism of the American ambassador is very undesirable inasmuch as under the present censorship rule no German newspaper is permitted to publish any articles not approved by the German government officials.
