New York, March 13. 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

Impeachment Measure Stalled.
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.

a bid for a street flusher which rang
