Committee Urges Construction
Inspector, Assistant Chief
and Other Changes.
c :r. il's special committee on the
rflt r g ',nization of the city construction
.■epartment virtually has agreed upon
recommendations. Councilman
’•har'.es W. Smith, the chairman, said
, the report would be submitted
to council Monday, urging the following
changes:
That there should be an inspector,
aadrted as an expert. In charge of all
construction inspections.
That there should be an assistant
cili ef of construction in charge of all
routine work in the office.
‘•Kick” Bureau Urged.
That there should be a complaint and
information bureau.
That the chief of construction should
ha v more authority over contractors;
more stringent bonds should be
required, and that every contractor
should be forced to live up to the speci
fixations. 9
That convicts and stone should be
transported by trolley cars instead of
by wagons.
Some of the members of council are
discouraged by the task of trying to re
organize the construction department.
Improvement Expected.
They say that the operation of the
department is the duty of Chief of
Construction Clayton and that if he
does not care to run the department on
a systematic plan council hasn’t suffl
, lent authority in the matter.
But the members of the special com
mittee expect a marked improvement in
the work of the department next year.
Council has the right to approve or dis
approve the appointments of all subor
dinates in the department.
Aiderman James R. Nutting suggest
ed that the chairman of the streets
committee be paid a special salary.
The report of the municipal expert on
this department has not been received.

blood; of young boys who after a few
hours’ “treatment” in the correctional

BABY NEW RULER
IN 0. S. EMBASSY
Diplomats Celebrate in Honor
of Son of Secretary of the
Paris Legation.
PARIS, Dec. 13.—Not since the time be
yond which memory does not extend
have there been such harmless high jinks
and hearty congratulations at the Ameri
can embassy because of the birth of a son
to Mrs. Warren D. Robbins, wife of third
secretary of the embassy. Although Mr.
Robbins has been here not quite two
years, he and Mrs. Robbins are very pop
ular in society, which fact would not,
however, explain the official jollification
since the appearance on this planet of
"Baby Edward.”
Behind the celebration is the sterling
fact that Edward is the first embassy
baby ever bora here. At least, venerable
Henri Vignaud, who took part in the
celebration and whose memory of the
embassy covers more than half a century,
can not recall a similar event.
When the baby was born a certain of
ficial formality had to be preserved to
prevent his being a Frenchman. In other
words, he had to be inscribed at the em
bassy, which is, of course, American ter
ritory. The master of ceremonies on this
occasion was Major Be»tley Mott, the
military attache who has the reputation
of being the most fashionable bachelor in
Paris. He was ably sustained by Secre
tary Bliss and Naval Attache Hough.
JERSEY MAN GIVES WIFE
JUST SSO OUT OF $60,000
WESTVILLE, N. J„ Dec. 13.—The
will of Henry Albright, probated today,
gives his wife SSO out of an estate of
$60,000, saying she had had enough cash
from him in past years.
He also left instructions that his fu
neral must dost less than SIOO.
Albright came to this place from
Germany a poor boy, and accumulated a
fortune in real estate dealings.
