The Board of City Aldermen met
last night in regular monthly session
with all members present,1 Mayor
Hiatus presiding and City Clerk
Bror.dhurst at his post. ;
Owing to the -pressure of business
the reading of the minutes of the
former meeting was dispensed with.
The committee from the Chamber
of Commerce on extension of the City
limits appeared before the Board and
through their chairman Mr. J. M. Al
len presented the request of the Cham
ber for a committee from the Board
to advise together and determine the
new meets and bounds of the cityj to
be presented to the legislature or
enactment. On motion of Alderman
Weil the Mayor appointed a commit
tee of three from the Board to act
with the Committee of the Chamber,
naming the following: Aldermen
Lionel Weil, J. R. Crawford and Joe
A. Parker. -' '
A note of thanks and appreciation
from the Civic Department of the Wo
man3 Club was read before the Board,
in acknowledgment of the Board's con
tribution and co-operation in the pro
posed Improvement of ; the Union De
pot surroundings. : r
The Park Committee was authorized
to order needed shrubbery and bulbs
for the upkeep of Herman Park.
The ordinance committee reported
several new ordinances, which .yere
adopted. This committee also report
ed that the revised code of City ordi
nances would soon be ready for the

The work of tuberculin testing the
dairy cattle has progressed very well
during the latter' part of the month
and will be completed next month in
the big dairies. Thi3 test requires
two days at each place, which will
make It a very difficult task among
the single cows in the city. However-,
the test will be carried out on all;
cows, as the disease is more liable to
be present in cows confined. t
It i3 "gratifying to note that S. Cohn
& Son are moving today into their
new stand on Mulberry Street. They
now have the spirit of cleanliness and
I feel sure they will keep- theirj new
modern market in an up-to-date man
ner. It is hoped their additional re
turns will convince others of the val
ue of an up-to-date market place.
During the latter part of the month
there have been -a number of stores
handling beef on Saturday and 1 after
today, these will be allowed to liandli
every day, provided they keep j their
places In a Sanitary condition, jrhere
are, however, many objections to
marketing beef and meate in this
manner which a Central city market
would overcome. " L
The barbecue stand on John street
has showed considerable improvement
this month. The-ground around the
back door has been filled in and dish
water is now put in a slop barret The
floor has been scrubbed and the rep
resentative of the owners promises to
put in a sink and running water.

POSTAL SAVINGS BOOKING
Washington, D. C, Oct. 30. The war
in Europe is proving a big . boon to
postal savings in this country. From
the very day hostilities opened across
the seas postal-sayings receipts began
to. ncrease. by. leapa and - bounds and
withdrawals fell oil, a "result quite
contrary to the perdictions of many
well-informed persons who, in their
imagination,; saw lines oi t everish de
positors at post-oiUcG pay windowa
anxious to again return their savings
to the boot-leg and body-belt deposi
tories .whence they came before in
trusted to Uncle Sam. But the fore
casters failed to reckon on the abso
lute confidence of the American citi
zen, regardless of the flag that first
met his eyes, in the ability and pur
pose of the Government to carry out
its obligations, not only among the
nations of the earth, but with the
humblest citizen of our land.
, Two mportant 'results have "'follow
ed; thousands of people, largely of.
foreign birta,- accitbtomed to send their
saving abroad, are now patrons of our
postal-savings system; and- enoimous
sums of actual cash have been released
Tor . commercial uses among'; '.our own
people at a' time 'when- the need for
every available dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in tho
United States has been steady and
healthy and the system has filled an
important gap between "the tin-can
depository and the factory paymaster.
On July 1, when allairs were running
smoothly - here and abroad and the
transmission of money across the At
lantic was safe and expeditious, there
was approximately -"$43,000,000 of pos
tal savings standing to the credit o:
about oSb.000 depositors.'.- Since then )
over $10,000,000 ' of" 'deposits have been
added, and tlie number of depositors
has Increased enormously. This un
precedented gain is the more strikmg
when.it is considered that the net gain
in the last three monilis is larger than
the gain: for the entire fiscal year
1914. Scores of oiHces Lave done more
postal-savings business since the war
has been going on than was done by
them during the previous existence of
the service. The; increases are con
lined to no special localities, but have
been felt in every nook and corner of
the country; New Yoik City alone
maile a. gain in 2 ptembcr of mere
than a million, while Brooklyn showed
