Judge Light and John ‘S
McMahon Urge Sep- ‘
arata Appropriation
to Maintain Bridge
MoneyUs‘ed
*MQNEY USED
About 542,000 Taken
from Bond Fund -—
Question of Compeni-
sation for Employees
As requested at the previous meet-
ing. members of the Bridge Commit-
tee were present ‘at themeeting o
the Common Council Tuesday oven-
. ing and made a verbal port.
Judge John H. Ligh .. why 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 main—
taining the bridge out of.the 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 f the work that was
going on there and said that. the
construction of a. no road to the
public, dock was pro resalng.
John McMahon dedared also that
he did not think the bridge should
be maintained but of the Bond Fund
and. hoped that there would be an
appropriation made for this work at
the meeting of the Board of Esti-
mate and Taxation in June. He said
that an arbropriation had been a'sk-
ed for several times hub that the
committee coulfl 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 it was necessary to
secure land in_ that vicinity for a
park. This work 1's 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 Conklin.
the owner of a boat that struck'the
bridge.
Mr. McMahon brought up the mat-
ter of the workingmen's compensa-
tion and asked if all City employees
were covered by a blanket insurance
as one of the bridge tenders was in-
jured while at work and had been
laid up for some tlfiie and had not
been paid compensation. This mat-
ter was referred to Corporation
Counsel John Cuneo for investiga~
lion.
Councilman Benton said that he
the Bridge Committee to turn in a
written report or the money expend-
ed out of the tune, so that the mat-
ter of an appropriation could be thin
en up at the next meeting of the
Board of Estimate and Taxation. _
Councilman Pohlman in speaking
an the compensation matter said
that he understood that the employ-
eea oi’ the various departments were
covered by separate insurance. He
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 a mem-
ber of the Bridge Committee to fill
the vacancy left by' the death of
John \V. Olmsted. This appoint-
ment was approved by the Council.
BRAIN WORKERS

EXERCISE‘ONLY
HARRISBURG. Pa.. March 18.—
The violence and duration of exer-
may cause a. person to become
ulatcd, fatigued or exhausted.
according to Colonel Edward Mar-
tin. former state commissioner.-ot
health. Dr. Martin said each indi-
vidual must decide the~amount or
exercise to- be taken. pointing out
that .what may be exhausting to'one
will be stimulating, to another.
"stimulating exercise is brief in
duration." Dr. Martin asserted. “It

pared tor sustained ettort. either
mental of physical. ' This form of
exercise should be taken ‘ex least
3 once a day by all brain and indoor
‘ workers. It should be continued not
longer than five minuta. and should
be supplemented by deep breathing.
The feeling after it has been taken is
the best index as to how much should
be taken.
“Exhaustive exercises leaves the

luny and phyoiel-lly: ' hunt?! for

RIO DE JANEIRO. March 18....
‘American Millionaire" is one
or should be hyphenated at the very
least. in the opinion or most Bras-
of this country couldbo' brought to
believe that .there exists a. “poo;-
American." or even one in “moder-
ate circumstance."
Perhaps the motion pictures are
responsible for some of- this golden
glamor. The film millionaire is al-
ways an American. The ’traveilng
American. however. must assume
the rest of the blame. His gener—
osity is famous. His tips are bigger
and he pays bigger prices than
anyone else. In tact he rather en-
ioys his reputation for reckless
spending.
But while the American may on-
joy a sense of generosity. he likes to
believe that his spending is a. matter
of tree will. He has no patience with
being over-charged Just because he
is American.
For this reason. visiting and reel-
dent»AInericans are frowning over
the adoption of adouble scale or
prices by the hotels. restaurants. and
certain other business houses of this
city. one set of prices being [or
Americans and the other for Bras-
illens. ._
The plan to make Americans pay
more than others was described In
a uzory published recently in the
Jornal do Commercia. The abnor-_
mai exchange situotion was sdvan~
ced as the reason. The dollar ll
now worth three times as many
milreis as it was a 'few years ago.
While the general increase in the
cost of living has cut the purchasing
power of tho milreis- in half. the dol-
lar has smadily climbed in value.
and 'tho‘ Brazilians feel that the
Americans are getting all the ‘mt of
it. .
By charging special prices to
Americans. the article says. the Rio
de Janeiro 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 established on the gold
basis. but met-leans are the main
objective.
The visiting American. if he does
not like the special price arrange-
Inent can out his _visit short. but the
roeident who is obliged to remain
for business reeeona is out or luck——
especially if it happens that his
salary is peid in Brasillan money.

mind of the average American is in-

"desire for knowledge predominates
over what some critics and phil-

the general subject 0! religion.

One of the largest publishers in

The.world war is partly rem»

leading book arm here. Army and
navy libraries. depleted at light

the desire for this kind of reading
was created. they became eager to

studying books which would pre-

Another li'adlng— book dealer her:
believes the age of novels is past
and that biography. industrial and

In letters to the American Librar)
Association. the Los Angeles library
says the most striking gain in the
last year was in applald Christianity
and religious education”. The two
best circuiotors were a. life of Christ
and a book on etiquette.
‘ Etiquette. home building. voca-

in St. Louis. "
There are long waiting lists for
two books on religion at the Chicago

travel ‘come next. There is a notable
revixal in Shakespeare. Radio is an
absorbing subject. The gain in cir-
