ACHIEVEMENTS OF CITY BOARD ARE RECOGNIZED Efficient Service of Present Board of Works is Pointed Out in City. By ROSCOE FLEMING. In reply to criticism of the present city administration made by members of council who are trying to oust the board of works and substitute another, friends of the administration pointed Saturday to a long series of achievements, mostly due to the efficiency, business ability and foresight of the board. No more money was raised by taxes for the present board than had been raised the year before, and the city's Income was about $14,000 less because of the closing of the saloons. War prices affected the city pocketbook just as it affected that of the private consumer. Every article used by the city went up in price. In some cases, materials were higher by 50 per cent. City employes had to be paid more that they might meet their own living problems. Ha Saved for City. Yet in spite of this situation, the board has been able to carry on the work of the city without borrowing money and without decreasing the efficiency of any city department This has been possible only because the board of works has worked, and has

planned and saved as energetically for the city as they would have for their own business. Critics have spent much sarcastic effort on the two sessions of two or three hours a week which the board holds In public, but they do not know of the long private Informal sessions at night, sometimes several times a week, held by the board when they threshed out city problems and stuck with them sometimes until two o'clock in the morning. Here are a few of the things which the board of works has done: Water bills have been reduced $3,600 a year, $300 a month, by investigation of the sewer system. This alone is enough to pay the combined present salaries of the board. Repair Department Created Twenty-eight hundred dollars a year has been saved to the city by better service In the collection of garbage another item almost equal to tho board's salaries. And in the future, as the result of an exhaustive series of experiments carried on in . the collection of garbage by the city engineer with a truck loaned the city without cost by the president, Norton Johnson, a still greater saving is probable Complete Inventories have been taken of all city property, a tabulation has been made, and the city can now lay Its hands on any of its own property at a minute's notice, something never possible before. A repair department has been created, where city employes on straight wages, who heretofore loafed at city expense in rainy or cold weather, can do repair work to buildings or machinery. Won City Cases Store rooms have been established for purchase of property, and departments which have been In the habit of purchasing materials indiscriminately and where needed, now have to buy through one source and one requisition. Machinery has been put under covei and painted, and copper and other valuable materials found lying around the light plant, easy prey for anyone who wished to carry them away, are now stored away and properly cared for. The present administration has not lost a case for the city with the public service commission, and has succeeded in stopping several advances which were asked by public utilities. PURDUE AMBULANCE MEN ARE HONORED LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 5. How distinction and honor came to Purdue university ambulance section No. 598, American expeditionary forces, on the battlefields of France, is made clear in a communication received by WIntrop E.

NEWSTEM - T S REPORTED

CARNEGIE'S DREAM OF FIFTY YEARS AGO COMES TRUE ON MARRIAGE OF DAUGHTER

NEW YORK, April 5. A long-forgotten, and but recently remembered dream of Andrew Carnegie, will be fulfilled when hts daughter, Miss Margaret Carnegie, licensed today with United States Navy Ensign Roswell P. Miller is married to him on April 22. The marriage license was obtained today. Miss Carnegie, 22 years old, was born of a late marriage, for the great iron-master did not marry Louise Whitfield, the heiress mother, until he was 52. More than a score of years before his marriage, when Mr. Carnegie as an employe In a Pittsburg steel mill was known as "Andy," he was chatting with his bosom friend, Roswell Miller. The two were looking over some steel rails ordered by Miller, then a railroad contractor. A young woman passed and Carnegie, glancing at her, remarked to his friend: "Ross, if I ever get married and have a daughter I'm not going to let her grow up to be a doll. She is going to know something about making her home." "And if I ever have a boy, Andy," responded Miller, "I hope he marries that girl of yours, or some one like her, because he is going to earn his own living and know how to do It with his own hands." Twelve years after his marriage a daughter came to the home of Andrew Carnegie, then 64 years old He is now 86, and she is 22, yet they are chums and have been ever since 6he could toddle about the room. When the steel king was 75 years old he spent a busy birthday, for MarGOVERNORS MEET YANKS AT BOSTON BOSTON, Mass., April 5.

garet, then 11, had managed to beat him at billiards. He was more tickled than if he had just launched a new $100,000,000 corporation. Reporters obtained an interview from them. It ran something like this: "My daughter has managed to beat me at billiards. I'm too busy to talk. I want to see if she can do it again." Taught to Cook. With never a thought of the dream he and his friend Miller had voiced many years before respecting their possible- offspring, Andrew Carnegie and his wife who shared his democratic views, began to make a real American woman of the girl who will inherit such part of the ironmaster's $300,000,000 as he has not given away. She was taught to cook and sew and clean house. When she first went to school she knew more about housekeeping than most young women know when they marry. She could market and make clothes and the miniature apartment set apart in the Carnegie mansion at 2 East Ninety-first street for her special use, and experimentation had been furnished and refurnished and arranged and rearranged until it was perfect. About a year ago, even if Andrew Carnegie had lost recollection of his long-ago dream, dame nature stepped in to remind him. Margaret Carnegie was a school friend of the sister of Roswell P. Miller, son of Mr. Carnegie's old chum. He had been driving an ambulance in France, but returned to enter service in the American navy. He and Margaret Carnegie formed even a stronger attachment than had existed between their fathers. She was just the kind of girl young Carnegie had promised the elder Miller she would be. Ensign Miller finally asked Andrew Carnegie if he might marry his daughter. Then it was Carnegie remembered the dream of over half a century ago. "CAN I BE CURED?"

SOME ANNEXATION PLANS GERMANS HAD

BERNE, April 5. Mathlas Eraberger, chairman of the German armistice commission and a member of the German government, was accused of being the author of a document written In 1914 showing that Germany's peace terms. If she won, would include large annexations and indemnities, Herr Landauer, a representative of the Munich soldiers' and workmen's council, declared in a speech at Augsburg, Bavaria, according to a dispatch to the Frankfort Zeitung. Landauer, who was speaking at a meeting in memory of Kurt Eisner, the late Bavarian premier, said he had a copy of the document. Landauer at first refused to give the name of the author, except that he was still a member of the government. Finally, however, he said that the person to whom he alluded was Herr Erzberger. Among the peace terms mentioned in the document, Landauer said, were: Annexation of Belgium, French Normandy, and several towns on tho southeastern coast of England. Annexation of the territories on the eastern frontier of Germany which have since become separate states. Establishment of a large German colonial empire Payment of a war indemnity calculated to cover Germany's expenses during the first ten months of the war, as well as the entire German debt before the war.

The Cost of Coal It doesn't lie altogether in the ton price though that is an important factor. How much damage does it do to your grates and flues? How much work does it involve? How much of it goes to heat? How much to soot and ashes? FOURTH VEIN Aristocrat of Bituminous Coals; Stands the test of these searching questions. There are only two or three Eastern coals that can meet it on this basis of figuring. And the long freight haul prevents them from coming within hailing distance of it on the price-per-ton basis.
