NEW YORK'S BUDGET CUTS
Economy is as much the order of the day on the other side of the Atlantic as on this, and here are some of the ways by which New York is cutting down its budget:
Prisoners are no longer sup- plied with daily newspapers at public expense.
The supply of iced water has been cut off in Harlem Court. Oficials, witnesses. and visitors must now patronise the common tap.
Similarly, officials, clerks and newspaper reportérs must providej their own soap and towels.
Free telephone calls for em-j ployees in the various city depart- ments have been curtailed stopped.
Cleaning staffe have had their supplies of soap and powder severely cut down. and elbow grease is the order of the day.
Montreal which is to furnish
electrice light and power to that city.

mile section of the 9800-mile# Pan-American Highway; plan- ned to run from Canada to the south of South America, also gets a high mark. The Jersey City-Newark Viaduct,
four miles long, and crossing two rivers at a height to permit of ocean-going ships under- neath, is ranked as the greatest bridge achievement of the year. It is estimated that eventually' 20,000,000 motorcars will use it it annually.
