No dei-ion was r .n h"I .it tin meeting of the board f.f public works ith Mayor 1-W. K U r and ': Atty. Eh Seebirt .it the ij'.'n -s of the major in the city hall Thursday evening. ;it which the matter of reflating th- n';m!'( r of tr.nks that the I-i k . Shore company will be permitted t !eate -.i ruf up for discussion. Pefore the ordinär.''- dej;ia nJini,' the leation of the treks can he submitted to the common council it U nf cc-cary to J the evict iuinter of tra ks that will be elevated. No agreement has as yet 1 en reached between the railway ompany and the city ;ind it wns the purpose of thi meeting to deride how many tracks the city would be willing to permit elevated. rirectlv, according to vtate law, the cLy has no authority to dictate the number of tracks that the ( ornI any is to elevate a Ion-,' as the levation is carried oat. on the right f way. It Is possible, however, to exercise some control owing to the fact that the city must stand part of tht ex'fn- of constructing the bridges and abutments at the street intersections. Inasfar as it can b ascertained the expenses incident to the; elevation of a railway through the city are divided among the interested parties in the following manner. How ('4 h Ar li i.lcl. The railway company must pay for the elevation of the tracks with this exc eption that the city must stand pood for 2" per cent of the

ost

constructing the bridges

acrus the streets. The city must pay for any change that is to bo made in the surfacing of the street though It is provided that if a street car linn is on the street it must pay one-tenth of the cost as Ion.; as it is within a Kpeciiird limit. At Michigan street there are but four tracks or perhaps three that would need be elevated and at other street intersections there as high as eight. It is a moote-i question in the minds of the city officials whether the company should be permitted to elevate ail these tracks or not. On one h.inl the elevation of all of the tracks might hau- irurh to do with the facilitating of transportation of the city's products. There is the other argument that fewer tracks will suthce and that tlie larger number will only increase the burden upon the city's treasury unnecessarily. It is a question, too, whethor or not additional tracks o'ild not be elevated as required. Can't Itoaoh Decision. It was not possible with the data nt hand at the meeting to make a decision in the matter. As a consejuente aftei a session of an hour and a half, the meeting was adjourn--d until some later date not yet tixed.

ERR EXPERT ON EFFICIENCY

G. F. Barker of New York Tells Business Men How It Is Acquired.

Declaring that business is like football, "after you get through the first hole, making your goal is easy, nnd . the only two opponents you need to fear are laziness and selfcontidence". (J. F. Harber of New York, president Of the Ffficiency club, add res- J a crowd of nearly vo ntmdr-d - employers and employes, who listened pad and pencil in hand, on "Increasing Efficiency In '"TTOSlness" -att!ie Elks' temple last night. Efficiency as defined by the president of the Efficiency club is "the ability to find and take the best, easiest and quickest way to a desired goal results." Mr. Harber is chief of the Maff of the Emerson institute and is known in New York as the "teacher of millionaires", hu clashes being frequently attended by the heads of some of the largest concerns of the country. He came to South Rend for the purpose of arousing Interest in an efficiency course which is soon to be oruan ized here and which will be taught by one of the staff of the Emerson institute. Mr. P.arlr told from first hand knowledge of the methods that have brought success to the bi: men and bis concerns ot the country and at

tributed most of the phenomenal successes achieved in business in retent years to efficiency. The things essential for success in any line of work according to the speaker are initiative. industry, loyalty, '"the power to think straight at a thing." and to realize "that success is now", is in doim; the thing at hand. well. In conclusion he emphasized the fact that while everybody is crying efficiency, few are willing to practice it and warned his hearers that it was not to be houcht outright but only by & hard and patient application to the problems that confront each man in the conduct of his business.
