"What of the mandamus evil nnd Its

"Hie mandamus evil has been cured
se far as It can be by legislative net In
Section 10 of the financial nrtlrle nf llin
charter," replied Mr. 'White.
"lhat section provides that no lia
bility of any kind shall be enferclblc

previous appropriation by Council. This
would in my opinion prevent the man

If this can be prevented by legislative

emphasis :
As a friend of the Mayer I hope he

It's a short, back-breaking story. The manufac
turer who heard it laughed long and loudly.
But in his factory he had 3-in. fabric belts trying
te de the work that should have been done by 4-in.
leather belts.
And it wasn't until the, end of his long period of
war-made production, when sales were dropping
and profits dwindling, that he turned te a study of
getting the right belts for all the drivers, in his plant.
He discovered that the next best thing te making
money is te step wasting it.
Perhaps you have some "weaklings" among the
belts in your plant. Seme that seem te be
