Boston Claim
Cost of Govern
ment is Low
Dispute Milwaukee Figures; Assails
Mayor Daniel W. Hoan as
"Flamboyant."
CANCELS DEAL WITH SOVIET
Boston, Mass., March 28. Mil
waukee's claim to fame as highest
ranking American city in point of
financial rating has been challenged
by the Boston finance commission,
which asserts that Boston enjoys a
far superior position in the matter
of municipal debts and taxation.
In a report just submitted to the
commission by its secretary, Robert
E. Cuniff. Mayor Daniel W. Hoan of
Milwaukee is accused of "high pres
sure salesmanship" and "flamboyant
claims."
A comparison of the statistics of
the two cities shows, the report says,
that Milwaukee, with a taxable
valuation oi $y ;,B4 j,hou, or less
than one-half that of Boston, Sl,
958,010,000, has a municipal debt of
46,380, 000 against Boston's debt
of $65,071,000, and that Milwau
kee's debt and share of county in
debtedness is $54,217,072 as com
pared with similar Boston indebted
ness of $66,071,369.
The report fays Milwaukee's per
centage of debt to one thousand dol
lars valuation is $47.90 for city debt
and $55.60 for combined city and
county, against $33.20 for Boston
debt and $33. SI for city and coun
ty obligations.
Cuniff found that Milwaukee, in
stead of occupying a place at the
head of American cities, was stag
gering under a rapidly increasing
debt, suffering from burdensome tax
ation and was employing a system
of taxation which was twice as cost
ly to the taxpayers as was the Bos
ton method of financing in anti
cipation of taxes. World-Herald.

Put 3,200 Men
Back to Work
$16,800,000 Program Included A
Thousand Men to Star Work
on April 1st.
Chicago. 111., March 25. Walter
S. Franklin, president cf the Wabash
railroad, announced in detail tonight
a plan for re-emnloyment of 3,200
men and expenditure of millions of
dollars on the road's trackage in
half a dozen states.
The program was made possible,
Franklin said, by railway labor's ac
ceptance two months ago of a 10 per
evn t wage reduction and the federal
l.overnment's action in loaning the
road $7,173,000 through the Recon
struction Finance corporation.
"We hope that most of the men
will have work throughout the sum
mer," Franklin said. "Eleven nun
died of them will be back at work
tomorrow in our shops at Decatur,
111. The remaining 2,100 will be em
ployed at trackage maintenance on
or before June 1."
The entire program, he said, calls
for expenditure of $16,800,000.
Tha. !.-irrrt:t " single item Of the
work was listed by Franklin as the
placing ot 410 thousand tons of ad
ditional ballast on the track. In ad-
7n miles of rail3 and 600
thousand ties will be laid, additions
that will be made to shops, locomo
tives and other train equipment will
be reconditioned.
The trackage work will extend
from Detroit through to Kansas City
o rtninhn nnri from I lllCSKO lu
k a
St. louhs. Franklin said, a inousanu
men will be employed at that work
starting April 1, he said, and 1,100
more on or before June 1. World-

Moritz Kahn, vice president of the

the action by his brother, Albert
Kahn, bead of the firm who is now
in Russia.
"The point of difference between
our firm and the poviet government
was the question of currency," Mor
