McMahon Urge Sep- ‘
arat"I Appropriation
to Maintain Bridge
MoneyUs'ed
"MONEY USED
About $42,000 Taken
from Bond Fund —
Question of Compen-
sation for Employees
As requested at the previous meet.
ing. members of the Bold“ Commit-
tee were present at themeetlng o
the Common Council Tuesday even-
ing and made a verbal‘port.
Judge John H. Light. who is A.
member of the committee, stated
that under the law the Bridge Com-
mittee was the agent of the city
working under the direction of the
Common Council. Judge Light said
that the Committee had been maln-
tainlng the bridge out ofthe Bond
Fund. as there had been no other
appropriation. He said that he did
not believe th t this was the thing
to do. He told I the work that was
going on there and said that the
construction of a no road to the
public dock was progening.
John McMahon dedared also that
he did not thipk the bridge should
be maintained out of the Bond Fund
and. hoped that-there would be an
appropriation made for this work at
the meeting of the Board of Esti-
mategsnd Taxation in June. He said
that an appropriation had been ask-
ed for several times bub that the
committee coul} not get it. Mr. Mc-
Mahon estimated that about $42. 000
had been used to maintain the bridge
and that the bond fund was growing
small very fast. He said that four
years ago. the Bridge Committee had
submitted what it thought would be
its final report. but the report was
not accepted as is was necessary to
secure la. d in that vicinity for a.
park. This work Mo now been com-
pleted and Mr. McMahon stated that
the only thing that was keeping the
Committee together was. a court
action against it by Captain Conklln.
the owner of a boat that struck‘the
bridge.
Mr. McMahon brought up the mat-
ter of the worklngmul's compensa-
tlon and asked if all City employees
were covered by a. blanket insurance
as one of the bridge tenders was in~
jurcd while at work! and had been
laid up for some title and had not
been paid compensation. This inat-
tor was referred to Corporation
Counsel John Cuneo for investiga-
lien.
Councilman Benton said that be
thought it would be a good idea for
the Bridge Committee to turn in a
written report of the money expend.
ed out of the fund. so that the mat-
ter of an appropriation could be tok-
en up at the Dept. meeting of the
Board of Estimate and Taxation. ,
Councilman Pohlman in speaking
en the compensation matter said
that he understood that the employ.
cos of the various departments {fore
covered by separate insurance. Re
stated that he thought a. blanks
insurance for all of the employees
would be a good move.
Judge Light remarked that the
Committee would be pleased to fur-
nish the Council with any kind of a
report that it wished. He said a
written report would be submitted.
Judge Light and Mr. McMahon-
both urged the taking over of all
local parks by a Park Commission.
In order to do this an amendment
would have to be made to the City
Charter they stated.
Mayor Robins presented the name
of Frank W.‘Roberts. to be oi‘mem-
ber of the Bridge Committee to till
the vacancy left by‘ the death of
John \V. Olmsted. This appoint-
ment was approved by the Council.

RIO DE JANEIRO. March- 18.—
‘American Millionaire" is ono wot}.
or should be hyphenated at the very
least. in .tho opinion of'niost Bra.
ilians. It is doubtful if many citizens
of this country could be brought to
believe that .there exists a “poor
American." or even one in "moder-
ate circumstances."
Perhaps the motion pictures are
responsible for some ot this golden
glamor. The film millionaire is al-
ways an American. The ”traveling
American. however. must l-lll‘ne
the'roet of the blame. Bis gener-
osity is famous. His tips are bigger
and he pays bigger prices than
anyone else. In tact be rather en-
joys his reputation for reckless
spending.
But while the American may on.
Joy a senso of generosity. he likes to
believe that his spending is a matter
of free will. He has no patience with
being over-charged Just because he
is American.
For this reason. visiting and real-
dont Americans are frowning over
the adoption of a.doublo scale or
prices by the hotels. restaurants, and
certain other business houses of this
city. one set of prices being for
Americans and the other for Bras-
iliena. ‘ ,
The plan to mako Americans pay
more than others was described In
a'otory published recently in the
Jognal do Commercia. The abnor-.
that exchange situation was advan-
ced as the reason. The dollar ll
now worth three times as many
mllreis as it was a 'few years ago.
While the general increase in the
coat of living has cut the purchasing
power of the mllrols in half. the doi-
lar has mdily climbed in value.
and 'the' Braxillans feel that the
Americans are getting all the ‘mt of
it. _
By charging special prices to
Americans. the article says. the Rio
de Janelro hotel and restaurant
men are killing two birds with one
stone; they are increasing their re-
ceipts. and at the same time . are
able to keep prices down for their
Brazilian customers.
There is a. tendency to include
other foreigners in the special price
scheme on the suspicion that their
income is ostabifihed on the gold
basis. but Americans are the main
objective.
The visiting American. if he does
not like the special price strung.
ment can cut his visit short. but the
resident who is obliged to "male
for Mlle“ m is out of luck—-
unsciblly if it happens that his
salary is paid in Brasilian money.

Another leading book dealer here
believes the age of novels is past

that where formerly first editions of
