To adU to the worries of th politicians, Mayor Smith lias declared hl.iuelt ready to aid the Government In cery way,) Political pocr, built on patronngc, foresees a blow nt the fountalnhead and Is vitally Interested In pru uitlng any , lilg cut In Inspectors, etc . even If there Is nothing for the placeholders to do . but draw their nalarles. An n.tlcial close to tho Manr today said: "Tnih Is the! beginning of the end 1 can't tec how , wo can keep places when there Is noth- ' lng for the men to do. Although hopeful of being allowed to sell c'ty bonds to the extent of ,500,000 this yenr, Mayor Smith frankly admits that ex en with this allowance his gen eral lmproenient campaign will have to be curtailed to almost, the vanishing point. Much nt the loan, If finally au thorized by the Capltnl Issues Com mittee, will have to be used to pay mandamuses nnd Items of expense that alrndv hae been Incurred. To make the positions of more than 100 placeholders being paid cJt of loan money even more precarious, they aro sured no protection by clxll hervloe. These plac-es were created nnd salaries fled by heads of departments. These same heads liaa full power to nhollsh their f elf-created Jobs and placeholders would haxe no red'ess. Although no deflnlto estimate of places ".hat can bo dispensed with has jet been placed In the hrnds of Mayor Smith by his departmental heads, there nrn forces of ItifppctorH employed entirely to over "- ...j'..w. , ....,..., ..t. ........ ..' l... sce new work. If little or no new work 3 undertaken, several hundred ot thetc inspectors will Ilnd time lying heavily on their hands.

The same Is true of tho courts, but over these latter Councils 'r,.. no con trol ('niiiinlls ran nlwav3 abolish nnsl- tlons. where tho need for them lb shown j no longer to exist. i As constituted at present Councils are controlled.

It Is considered extremely doubtful, because of political conditions, that anv remedial legislation will be passed by tho two bodies.

ISLAND 'CONFLAGRATION' ' ntOVES CAMOUFLAGE 1 Fears for Destruction of Brigantine Dispelled When Smoke Barrage Is Explained Atlantic City. X. .1., Muich J9 For ten minutes this morning huge clouds of black smoke convinced 1000 ex- cited watchers on the Inlet boardwalk and dwellers In olllce nnd apartment buildings that tho Isolated little town of Brlgantlne on the UlanJ ot the same name, two miles north of Atlantic City, waa doomed to complete destruc tion by fire. The situation gained tragic significance, because Brlgantlne has neither pojlco nor fireman or water bupply, other than cisterns, owing to tho collapse of a great boom which left It completely stranded ten years ago. Just about the time sympathetic citi zens were debating ways and means of getting firemen and nppari.tUo across the Inlet to '"have" Brlgantlnr, wold was received over the Government coaut guard wires that Jlrlgantii.c waB quite safe and happy.
