The letter fellows :
"Manila, January 30
"Dear Mr. Lippincott Your letter of
December 31 reached me today, tee late

the mnll takes six weeks In transit.
"I trust Alumni University Dav was
productive of geed results. The Idea of
these Informal meetings between the

excellent one nnd will greatly aid In
keeping up interest in the University
among the graduates and In Informing
the authorities of the Institution as te
graduate sentiment nnd the genernl out

management, policy, etc.
"I nm sending' you the following tele

CITY TESTS CANCELED
Jobholders Who Get Salary Boosts

City empleyes who received snlary
increases In the last year will bu re
lieved of the trouble of being re-examined

requires jobholders te take another ex
amination if salaries are raised above a
certain point. But the commission,
after City Council protested, get an
opinion from the City Solicitor that
the exnmiiintieii was net deemed neces
sary since the salary boost went te show
the empleye's efficiency.
An examination scheduled today for
deputy chief of the Bureau of Water
was canceled because of this order and
a number of ethers will be dropped, in
cluding that of the chief police sur
geon. Hubley H. Owen, who was
raised from $4000 te $4500 a year.
