Assured by the Mayor that the Legislature refused to give the city the power to go into the housing business, Councilor Norton later, in the Council, offered an order that the Mayor request Gov Ely to call a special session of. the Legislature to obtain for Boston the power to wipe out the slums and erect proper structures. Councilor James Hein of Brighton struck a popular note with the Council, and his order met no opposition, when he offered it.

It called upon the Mayor to restore the pay cuts suffered by city and county employes. Councilor Hein said the restoration of pay would be in line with President Roosevelts request to business. The Mayors plan for expenditure of $23,500,000, the principal item being $8,500,000 for the Huntington-av subway from Copley sq to Longwood av, was referred to the committee on finance.

Farley. Dowd wrote Mr Farley asking him to intercede Boston for the good of the party.

They met at Hotel Statler for the conference, followed by a luncheon, Mr Poag is one of the best informed men in the industry, having been an executive directing sales and advertising for many years very successfully. Going into the different phases of the law, he explained the definitions of various sections, and how the factory officials were planning their schedules to meet hew conditions. "For years Dodge Brothers Corpora, tlon has been outstanding as having a plant and organization so well arranged that it is possible to meet any situation at short he said. "Our executives did not wait for conditions to arise, but were looking ahead so that once the code was set we continued along without any disruption of schedules.

In part, Mr Farley wrote: "To be frank with you, I think any effort on my part to inject myself into the local political affiars in your State might be misconstrued. I will be very glad to discuss tbe situation with your people but I believe it would be poor judgment to arbitrarily offer any sug gestions. I know you will understand." The supplementary budget amounted to $1,067,100. For the most part it was passed without any opposition, but for political purposes some of the Council asked that items be voted on separately. The Administration had more than enough votes to carry every item.

Among the principal items were for public welfare, $34,000 for hospitals, $30,000 for the Health Department and $80,000 for the lighting.
