Municipal financiers hope by compro
mise methods to avoid "firing" many
political placeholders, an Increase in the j
working hours of prlIIeged employes
snd an Increase In the tax rate and, at
the same time, provide some extra pay
near the year's end for policemen and
flmmen. The method is a "ntty-flfty"
process Involving delay.
Two ways hae been pointed out by
which money could be obtained this year
to Increase tho pay of policemen and
firemen to eoual salaries In bther great
5 centers of population. They include the
doing away wtih useless places and the
putting of the city on a business basis
'of a seven-hour working day. Both are
ixtremely unpopular with political
,powers.
Another plan which may ultimately
have tp be resdrtcd to Is an Increase In
the tax rate. This plan Is fraught with
danger by reason of the Heavy burden
already carried by property owners and.
Incidentally, renters. The last Increase
of fifty cents was bitterly opposed, on
,the ground of lack of necessity and an
other organization fight with capital
tied up, in realty will be avoided, If pos
sible, because of political possibilities
that may arise from t the .too frequent
'-hounding of land owners.
Rely on "Unexpected Revenues"
The compromise method Is to postpone
.nearly if not all Increases until about
ins ena or tne year ana to tnen utilize
J-unexpected revenues" and any money
tliat .may merge from departments.
These merging funds are hoped to be
larger than usual through an "economy
,nd retrenchment plan" that may ulti
mately Involve some dismissals of men
who can best be spared by their re
apectlve ward leaders.
The hopes of members of the finance
I committee of Councils for unexpected
, revenues are bound up In part In pre
miums paid or a recent rona sale ana
that may be paid on a bond sale to
be authorized later to raise funds for the
'completion of the Frankford elevated
, railway, etc. Still other unexpected
.funds are hoped for from settlements
not', included, by the Controller in his
11S budget.
-' One fact that may go far toward up
tsettlng these rosy calculations Is that
the Department of Supplies will need. In
-the fall, about half a million dollars for
"supplies to the end of the year. What
;the city's total coal bill for 1918 will be
ilk a problem for the future that may
.'also upset present calculations,
'h. Postponing the evil day Is a favorite
'course of procedure with councllmanic j
financiers. It was the course pursued
'this spring when new Jobs and salary I
i Increase demands of 1500 employes to- j
Jtaling more than $500,000 -a ere held up.
.These will now be plied on the demands
ex policemen anu uremcu, -vuttu win
as much or more.
J.rrt.When Councils convene late In Sep
tember all the accumulated demands will
jbe placed before the members In addi
tion to claims ot lawyers ror prores-

vol departments for 1319 awaiting their
''attention. If 1919 budget demands are
considered before the salary Increases

May Naval Station to
Baltimore
Crowds of questioners surrounded
sixty wounded musicians from the
French army In Broad Street Station
today, and asked many things relating
to action overseas.
But it all uas In "aln. None of the
party could speak English Nor could
any one understand English.
The crowd in the station soon broke
the ensemble of the sixty and had
'them divided into little groups of
rapldly-spcaklng Frenchmen. But menu
French would not obtain anything but
shrugs, and more French as is.
Finally, one man was seen who.
seemed to have an Idea of what was
going on. He held the admiring gaze of
a group of the French, because he could
.talk to them In their own language. He
was Arthur Lewis, veteran actor and
war correspondent of other years.
Through Mr, lieu Is it was learned the
Frenchmen had been In this country
since May. They have given concerts In
Boston and New York, and came to
Philadelphia from Cape May, where they
entertained the United States naval
men.
From Philadelphia, the party went to
Baltimore today for a concert, and to
morrow will be In Washington to stim
ulate Interest In War 'Savings Stamp
sales by a public concert.
Captain Pares Is In charge of the men.
They are from about fifty different regi
mental bands of the French army on the
western front. Their program after
leaving Washington Saturday Includes

Tocal buslne's men were preparing

not among the ten sites announced as
selected by the conference committee on
Monday.
The bill to be reported from the con
ference committee contains no specific
mention of the drydocks for this dis
trict. It li said, but the $87,000,000 ap
propriated for the acquisition or estab
lishment of plants suitable for shipbuild
ing and ship maintenance covers the
cost of tho drydocks, according to Mr.
Plez.
Mr. Plez told the Senate committee
that two of the drydocks were to bo
constructed at Philadelphia and one at
Chester, but said the exact location had
not yet been decided upon.
Officials of tho United Slates shinning
board In Washington confirmed tho fact
that the docks were to bo constructed,
and said the meeting tjili afternoon by
tho trustees was for tho purpose of
looking oer plans for ihclr construction
and tho exact location.
The large docks will have from 6000
to 10,000 tons floating capacity, and will
be completed In a year. It Is said. The
smaller docks will tako care of small
snipping, In addition to tnrpedoboat
destroyer", thus relieving the larger
docks. Several of these will also be
constructed In other ports, Mr. Plez told
the faenate committee

PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
Major' Billee, Wellborn, Cardinal Gibbons to Preside
Noted for Good Looks at Ceremonies of Dougherty
and Patriotism Enthronement
"Major Blllle" Wellborn, who drew the
draft numbers In Washington today Is
a charming southern girl, whoso home Is
In Atlanta. She's lust the kind for whom
a fellow would willingly go to war.
The "Little Major" has often been
referred to as a living encyclopedia on
the draft rules. This may lead some to
believe that she is a statistical looking
person who constantly talks figures and
facts. Such Is not tne case.
There Is a spirit of goodfellowshlp
about her. She Is In charge of the In
formation Bureau of the draft office, but.
unlike' imny persons at tho head of
Buch departments, . she answers ques
tions with a smile and gUrs good meas
ure In the way of Information.
Americanism fairly radiates from
Major Bllllc's eyes. Her patriotism Is
not of the surface kind .She would glady
go 'tthereer assigned, and those who
know her say sho would rather be near
a scene of nctlon than delving through
figures.
Major Blllle is trim of figure and
possesses a voice which carries the tone
of gentle command but there Is an air
of finality about It, too, which permits
of no useless talk.
