As the result of a novel card Index system which Is now being put Into use here, the star tling statement Is made that there are In this city no less than 400.000 Individuals and families dependent on charity. Already 200,000 names have been tabulated and before the process Is complete It Is estimated that this number will be' doubled, thus giving New York, March 13. The Increas ed cost of automoblling bids fair to become as vexing, if not aa general, a problem for New Yorkers, as the Increased cost of living. John D. Rockefeller who Is reported to have said recently that It would be a plea sure to keep a fast power boat In Florida waters were not the cost of gasoline so high, touched upon the point which is now bothering auto owners. The price of this necessary fluid has almost doubled In a year. and with further increase comine with painful frequency, the gasoline bill is assuming very threatening pro portions, so grave as to have glveq added stimulus to the search for a process .- whic"! t';e cheaper kero sene tan be sub-'ti'.uted for It The tire question, too, looms up unplea santly, since word comes from Akron, Ohio, a great tire manufacturing cen ter, that over 15,000 employes are out on a. strike, which in certain quarters is said to be due to the "speeding up' of production necessary if divli dends are to be paid on heavily wa tered stock. An investigation has been ordered by the state senate, but there Is no Indication at present that this will bring any material comfort to the poor auto owner's purse. As a matter of fact the high cost of au tomoblling shows fewer bright spots than the high cost of living.' In that field there has been at least soms relief for the bouse wife. Eggs hart taken a marked tumble In price, and local stores are now advertising ten pounds of sugar for forty-five cents, the lowest figure n years.

Just at the point where the final vote was about to be taken on the or dinance which revises the charter. or attempts to, a snag was struck'and the document was referred to the city attorney, only after an appeal had been takes on a parliamentary ruling of the mayor. The measure had been reported favorably by' the judiciary committee, .and as leaked out later. 1 no consultation with the city attor ney had been had and that official re fused to pass on its validity "off the reel." The mayor ruled that It waa permissible at that stage to refer the document to the city attorney . but Councilman Fitzgerald appealed from the chair. While a majority voted against the ruling, the requirements call for a two-thirds vote to override tne cnair, and the measure went to the city at torney. -There is little doubt as to what the legal adviser will do with the document This Is the bill that by the ordinance method would re vise the chrter in several ways. The bill is constitutional, "Because the council can remedy any faults In the charter," according to the version of Councilman Fitzgerald. The I. M. & M. company presented a bid for a street flusher which rang es around $1,000. This was referred to the street committee and the se lection of one out of several types offered for sale, will unnn he realized, It Is believed.
