"I am ul ways glad to have citizens bring these Important matters beforo us. Please shoot." , j Then one by ono each of tho vis itors aroso In turn and started off se riously to explain tho importance of their errand, dilating on the gravity of the matter without stating what It was, and then snid the next speak er could bettor present the situation In hand, and sat down. i Finally It came up to the last man, H. L. Walther, to drive home tho fi nal argument, nnd he reaching to One side, plckod up a hugo mallet nicely varnishod nnd attached to a long handle, and wound up wltl "I present this gnvel ns a token of our esteem," amid guffaws and laugh ter. . When Mayor Gaddls had regained his composure and again illumlnatod his cigar stnub ho grncofully ac knowledged the gift, and cnlled on each visitor for his views on the pro posed Sixth street subway or grade crossing.

GERMANS OFFER 30 BILLION (Continued from page one) Payments in kind nro to bo guaran teed by long term privato contracts, breach or violation of which would mako offenders subject to fines. The note proposes that the first twenty billion marks of tho total of thirty billion bo offered for subscrip tion at onco. If twenty billion murks cannot bo raised by means of a loan beforo July 1, 1023, interest at fivo per cent will bo paid on that sum from said dato, in addition to one per cent for amortization. Fulfill ment of Germany's obligations, tho note continues, depends on the stabi lization of her currency. Therefore, It Is necessary. In connection with tho regulation of tho reparations problem to bring about a methodic and per manent stabilization in order to ro movo tho apprehensions of other countries with respect to ruinous German competition. Strengthening of her currency also will enublo tier many to restore her internul finances, the note says. Asks for Liberation. In order to realize this program and in order to sufeguard the Inter ests of those who finance tho loans, the Herman government says It is essential that there be no more forcible seizures of securities, that no further sanctions be imposed, that Germany be freed from the unpro ductive expenses with which she is now burilcned and that she also be liberated forthwith from ull political and economic restrictions. The proposal also suggests that in behalf of tho economic rehabilitation of Europe tho countries concerned arrive at on understanding with re gard to dealings in important com modities. The note expresses the opinion that in this connection long term private contracts for deliveries of coul and coke uro especially Im portant. With regard to the two proposed loans of five billion marks each, the note proposes that in case these amounts cannot be raised fully by Is sues of bonds at normal rates before the dates fixed, an Impartial interna tional commission shall decide wheth er, when antl how tho amount not yet accounted for is to be raised. The same commission would decide In July 1931, with when and how, after July 1, 1931 the interest not provided for In the first Instance Is subsequent ly to be raised. Hughes and Harding Proposed As to the makeup of this commis sion, Germany proposes that either tho syndicate which puts up tho first loan of twonty billion gold marks or a committee of international business men be chosen according to the sug gestions of Secretary of States Hughes a committee on which Germany is to be represented with rights equal to thoso of other nations. As the third alternative, tho note proposes a court of arbitration com posed of a representative of the rep aration commission and a representa tive of the American government, to gether with a chairman whom the president of the United States would be requested to nominate In case the other two members failed to agree as to the nomination. , The note begins by emphasizing the view that the questions upon which dopend the reconstruction of the devastated areas and the restoration of the sound economic life and peace of Europe can only be solved by mu tual understanding. The occupation of the Ruhr, the note states, is dlamotrically opposed to such aspirations, and it therefore provoked the passive resistance of the Ruhr population. LONDON,. May 2. (By tho Asso ciated Press) It was authoritatively stated hero this afternoon that the Hritlsh government has been at some puins to mako clear to every party that Great llrltain is no way connect ed with the German reparations note and that sho bad no part whatever In framing its terms as suggested In cer tain riuarters.
