Tha ordlnanoa providing for the pay
ment by tha cttjr of 11209, a portion of
the eost of a new automobile sought by
Mayor H. R. Albee. will not be acted
upon by the olty council until Septem
ber 2. Action had to be postponed until
tbea awl&g- to amendments made.
The measure specifies that the $1200
la the depreciation on his present prl
rate 14000 car figuring at the rate of
1104 a month. The payment of this
$100 a month is in accordance, reads
the ordinance, with an agreement made
by the city commissioners after they
had rejected a plan to purchase a 95500
machine. The agreement was made
after the mayor had Offered his prt-
ate machine for their use.
Mayor Albee proposed to exchange
his present four cylinder oar tor a six
cylinder machine, the difference la ex
change being In excess of $2000. He
proposes that the city shall pay $1200
of this amount and he the balance.
It Is understood that the mayor pro
poses to allow the city commission to
use his new machine on the same basis.
At present the car Is used mostly by
the mayor for both private and public
business. As a body the commission
uses it probably once a week. After
office hours the machine Is used by the
mayor's family.
Car Costa City 93267 Tearly.
For both private and publlo use the
car 'la costing the city approximately
$127 a year. This amount Includes
depreciation, the coat of maintenance.
gasoline, oil ate and the $100 a month
salary of the chauffeur.
The machine la - seldom used mora
than two hours at a tlma by tfre city
commission. For the one trip a. Week
and the private and publlo use by the
mayor the cost is more than $372 a
month or In excess of $82 A week
It has been pointed out that It would
be a far more economical plan for the
city to rent a machina whenever It waa
found necessary to use a large tour'
log car. This could be rented, it IS
said, under contract at $2 as hour or
less. This would maka the cost for a
two hour trip a week, probably $0 as
compared to $13 now paid.
Mayor Albee says the scheme Of hav
tng the city pay the depreciation and
for the maintenance is not bis own but
waa suggested by the other commis
sioners after be had offered them the
Use Of his car. He contends that the
arrangement, however, has been more
economical than the one in use before
be took office. At that time the City!
furnished the mayor with a machine
but this machine now is considered as
Junk and Is used for emergencies by
the municipal shop.
Kayor Explains Arrangement.
"The plan now in effect," said the
mayor today," Is not my own. but was
suggested after I had offered to allow
the use of my machine. I made the
offer after the eity had rejected the
plan to buy a large touring car. With
the arrangement, however,, the cost has
been much less than that of the pre
vious . administration. I refer you to
Ui figures."
For one year prior to July 1,1912,
the cost of the machine supplied ex
Mayor Rushlight was $$286.75 of Which
$1023.99 was for the hire of a Chauf
feur. The remainder Waa for main
tenance and gasoline.
Considering the depreciation on
Mayor Albee's car it will be seen that!
his car is costing approximately $12
less a year than the old machine whloh i
the city owned. It is said that the
Rushlight car was used much mors
for city business than la Mayor Albee's
car, as then not as much use was mad
of departmental cars as at present, and
there was more occasion for the use of
a mayor's car.
Why Does an Oyster Die?
South Bend, Waah., Aug. 21. Fro
fessor Trevor Kincaid, head of the de
partment of coology at the University
of Washington, is here studying the
cause of the excessive oyster mortal
ity. One theory among the oystermen
is that the lack of tre warm rains1
usual in the summer time has weak-
, ened the oysters.

Stockholm. Aug. 21. The total

Points in . Russia were considered
especially favorable for observation
purposes and no less than 11 great
Scientific expeditions had staked out
claims for the occasion within the
czar's domains. Whether any of them
succeeded In reaching the place chosen
had not been learned her this after
noon, so completely had means of
communication been prostrated, but it
was thought Unlikely any important
observations Were taken except pos
sibly by a few scientists who arrived
in Russia before the outbreak of hos
tilities. In Sweden and Norway both obser
vations and notes were taken by local
astronomers, but so far as known no
foreign scientists were in either coun
try owing to the dangers of the North
sea voyage necessary to reacn tneir
Shores. Nor were they deemed as fa
vorable points of observation as Rus
sia.
