and Smaller Municipalities
WHAT NEW YORK TELLS
ITS TENANTS TO LEABN
That there Is a back aril for the
children to piny In.
That Ihe janitor la a good one.
Thnt the landlord keeps his house
clean.
That you luive a sink with running
water.
That there are fire escapes.
Whllo Councils continues to'lgnore ap
propriations for the new Division of
Housing find Sanitation, New York has
flrcd theflrst gun In the campaign for
better housing conditions In that city.
To enlighten residents of the ghetto
and other congested sections of Greater
New Tork that landlords must maintain
sanitary dwellings, a unique educational
campaign has been adopted. Printed cir
culars are being distributed today block
by block, house by house and from door
to door. The circulars, which are printed
In Yiddish, Italian, Itusslan, Hungarian,
French, Swedish, Polish and other langu
ages, are being hnnded to the women.
It Is planned to distribute more than
a million circulars bearing advice on
how to rent a flat In n typical tenement.
V6men Inspectors have been detailed to
do this work. It Is also the plan of
Tenement House Commissioner Murphy,
of New Tork, to get the circulars Into
the hands of school children.
Investigation by the National Housing
Association of New York disclosed that
772,S92,S60 Is lost by the working people
of Philadelphia and other cities yearly
through slakness, chiefly due to living In
filthy and Insanitary tenements.
LACK OF SEWBnS CAUSES TYPHOID.
Director George TV. Norrls, of the De
partment of Docks ond Ferries, who Is
president of the Philadelphia Housing
Commlstrion, pointed out today that the
high typhoid rate among the CO.000 people
In the neglected river district Is due to
the lack of sewers, which makes vaults
and surface drainage unavoidable.
Director Norrls, who for yeais hns
been nn advocate of better housing con
ditions, and who is among the represen
tative men of Philadelphia who are urg
ing Councils to grant the appropriations
for the division of housing and sanita
tion, today brought out the following
striking facts:
"It might be added that when the sew
ers have been "built and the vaults abol
ished Philadelphia will not be very much
ahead If her substitute Is the outdoor
closet o common Jn the poorer districts.
These outdoor closets are Inconvenient of
access, lacking In privacy; ond In the
winter when they freeze, as they do, they
are a nuisance."
Information reaching the Philadelphia
Housing Commission shows that munici
palities all oer the country are rapidly
falling Into line In favor of better hous
ing conditions.
CHANGES IN OTHER CITIES.
In many cities, where politics for a
while prevented measures favoring bet
ter housing conditions being enforced,
conditions have changed. Social work
ers In this city said today that unless
Councils granted the required appropria
tion, this city would go down into his
tory as one of the few cities In the
country that sanctioned "living vaults,"
"Siberian cells," "living graves," "death
Vaults," "tenement caves" and "cellar
rooms" names that have been given to
Insanitary dwellings In the congested
quarters of Philadelphia.
The act creattnr a Division of Housing
and Sanitation was passed mora than a
year ago by the Legislature and signed
by Governor Tener, Every effort to have
Councils grant an appropriation has
failed. The appeal for the enforcement
of the act has been made by more than
63 civic agenoles of Philadelphia. The
fate of the act now rests In the hands
of the Committee on Finance of Coun
cils, of which John P. Connelly Is chair
man. Select Councilman Charles Seger,
of the 7th Ward, In which hundreds of
insanitary homes are located, has already
expressed himself as being against the
new housing laws. He says the new laws
are toe drastic; that is, too hard on land
lords. New York Is not the only city which Is
getting ahead of Philadelphia for better
houses for Us residents. Portland, Ore.,
U among the cities which has awakened
to the fact that past neglect has, as al
ways happens, given It some very bad
housing. Public-spirited citizens In
Portland, led by Father O'Hara, who for
the past two years have been trying to
make Portland see the faots, have suc
ceeded in Interesting the municipality in
granting appropriations.
In Orange, N. J., an investigation is
being made of its housing conditions.
Ueveral organisations, Including the
Health Department and the Associated
Charities, are co-operating
In New Haven, Conn., the latest step
in bettering housing conditions Is to
make night inspections of not only tene
ments, Jut also of lodging, houses.
Maor Hunt, of Cincinnati. Is working
to establish a new era in that city for
housing. Cincinnati has a larger propor
tion of tenement houses than any other
city In the Middle West. One reason for
thU Is the semi-circle ot high, steep
hills which hem in the older sections ot
the city along the river and cheeked ex
pansion In the das of horse cars.

AUDITOR GENERAL
REFUSES TO PAY
PRIMARY BILLS
Cuts County Commissioner's
Claim of $250,000 to
$160,577, Declaring Cost
Here to Be Exhorbitant.
The Philadelphia County Commissioners
have received from Auditor General Pow
ell an offer for approval of expenses In
1912 and 1013.' The proffer Is unsatisfac
tory to the commissioners, who ctnlm that
at least J2JO.00O Is due them from the Com
monwealth for the primary expenditures.
In discussing election expenses In Phil
adelphia, the Auditor General said: "I
will not pay a higher price per 1000 for
printed ballots than It would rcqulro to
have such ballots engraved. I would re
sign my ofllce before I would permit my
name to go on such a voucher unless a
court had so decreed. ,
"It cost nearly as much to hold tho
primaries in Philadelphia as it did lo hold
them in the rest of the "State, cccpt
Allegheny Countj, and the cost in Al
legheny Is considerably less than In Phil
adelphia." EXPENSIVE CLERK HIItE.
According to records in the Qfllce of
the Auditor General, Philadelphia's pri
mary election expenses are unusually
high Clerk hire s five times as great
per 1000 votes cast In Philadelphia as in
some other sections of the State, nl
th6ugh It is declared the cost should be
less, than In the rural districts on ac
count of the large number of votes cast
In comparatively smaller area to the elec
tion unit. Printing of ballots Is threo
to five times as high In Philadelphia as
in many other sections.
City Controller Walton, In his 151J re
port on Philadelphia's financial status,
set forth the Commonwealth owed the
city, on the account of primary election
expenses, i!9S,1H3.n on December 31, 1913.
That amount was composed of the
primary expenses still duo from the State
as follows:
For 1007, 1003, 1000 and 1010 371 .17
For mil 47,sinM
For 1012 JR. 118 113
For 1UIJ KJT.OU, ifl
Total ..IM0.JI41.U
CONSIDERED MUNICIPAL ASSET.
The total amount duo the city is carried
In the report of the Controller as an as
set In the general account.
The law firm of Simpson, Brown & 'Wil
liams represents County Commissioners
In their claim. Suggestions have been
made that the Attorney General render
an opinion on the legality of the claim.
Francis Shunk Brown, a member of the
firm, has been mentioned as a possible
appointee for the Attorney Generalship
under Governor-elect Brumbaugh.
CHILD-RAISING THEORY
LEADS TO HIS ARREST
Edward Eattock Objected to Stranger
Wheeling his Baby.
Edward Eattock has an heir some
months more than a year old. Eattock
Is proud ot tho child and Is mighty par
ticular who keeps Its company.
Because of all this Eattock was held
under 1300 ball by Magistrate Brlggs,
In the 15th street and Snyder avenue sta
tion, this morning to keep the peace.
Eattock, who lives at 2616 Bouvler
street, learned that while he was at
work a man with whom he had no
speaking acquaintance was In the habit
of trundling his baby around the neigh
borhood in a coach. He did not know
the man and did not know whether he
was a proper caretaker for his heir. He
started out last night to find the man
and traced him to the home of James
Cunningham, 173Z Snyder avenue.
Cunningham la the father-in-law of
Eattock, vvho upbraided him for permit
ting a man to wheel a baby when the
man was pot known to the child's father,
Eattock became so boisterous, according
to Cunningham, that he called for the
police. Eattock, after explaining hi
theory of child raising to the Magistrate,
was allowed tq sign to own bond.

SUNDAY'S PLAN FOB. CONCERTS
One of the main points that Doctor

presses a desire to lead a new life, to
write the church of their choice on a
