Additional- olerioal assistance is also needed in the Municipal courts, the report stated. The report describes the putting into effect of the system of calendar olean-ups. In progress this week, and says: "The innovation accomplished everything that the proposers expected of it, that is, it reduced to a minimum the congestion in the courtrooms and saved the time of lawyers and litigants In needlessly coming to the court. It was possible to reach considerable "dead wood" on the calendar and to dispose of it by dismissals, settlements and discontinuances.

Seventy-five Varieties to Be Set Out In Spring. 1- Last week about rt00 lily bulbs wer planted among the azalea in lh southwest part of the Botanic Garden.

The" bulb planted Cover a wide rang of species, eighteen kinds being represented, Most beautiful shade of red, orange and yellow will be intermingled with pure whit and white and gold. For ages past the lily, th symbol of purity and beauty, has been storied and sung. Plentiful references to It occur in ancient wrlting-ay well as in tho iiible, and there can be no doubt that this majestic flower, with its striking hues, and marvelous purity and freshness of color, pleased the eye and fancy of primitive man even before writing was invented. It is an interesting fact that no lilies occur wild In the Southern Hemisphere. Their native haunts are North America, of which the Western States provide the greater number; Europe, Himalayas, Burma, Siberia, China and Japan.

The bed bordering; the east side of the walk leading from the laboratory Building to th children's garden ha been prepared for a planting of perennial asters) next About seventy-five varieties of asters, with ran res of color from purple and blue to pink and white, will be set out here as soon as the ground is workable in the spring.

Vicary Gibbs, boh of the late Lord Aldenham, as a result ef a visit there by Montague Free, horticulturist and head gardener of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It Is significant that many Of these varieties have been developed by Kngllsh horticulturists by cultivation of North American asters. Kvtrrently It has remained for the Kngllsh horticulturists to show what can be done in EMERALD MEETS SUNDAY AFTERNOON Tlis Emerald Association' will hold a regular meeting; at th CatlieJril Club, tf Sixth avenue, Sunday afternoon at 1:30, o'clock aharp.

CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS TO FIGHT WHITE PLAGUE The 13,000 mark was neared to-day ai the second! week of the Queens County Tuberculosis Association's campaign for $25,000 was rounded out Every indication pointed to success of the association's drive for funds with which to conti-iue Its fight against the white plague In Queens County during the next year. "It shows that the people of Queens realise that the health of every person in the county depends a good deal on the success of the great work we are doing," said Henry c.

wrignx, president of the association, in commenting on the success of the campaign so far. President Wright made public a letter from Viola Wallace, one of the children who received treatment for a month last summer at the association's summer camp, in which she said: 'I can never forget the oeitgntrui time which I scant at your camp last summer. It certainly benefited me a great deal in my neaitn anu J. zeei much better in general. l.

"I look forward with pleasure to next year and hope to be allowfd toj go again" 1 It does not famish a solution to tne problem. We would therefore beg leave to report further on the resolution and on various suggestions made, and our conclusion thereupon, for Referfe System Not Favored, First: As to legislation for the aP' polntment of official referees' to hear rent cases: Tour committee is of the opinion that as referees could not try jury cases there would only be such relief as would relieve the Justices a signed in the non-jury parts so that they could devote their time to jury cases.

Methods for Salvaging Waste From Ships Are Explained. POLLUTION UNNECESSARY Findings of Committee. Chosen to Investigate. New Tork harbor and tributary waters arc fretr from pollution than ever before, according to the report of a committee appointed by mercantile and Industrial Interest to investigate conditions.

According to th report, Inspections of the waters around Manhattan Island, th Brooklya shore and the) Upper Bay were made at various time by either the committee as a whol or, member of th committee. The reason for the Improved condition of th water are attributed to the effort and public spirit of maritime and Industrial Interests in and around New Tork Cib1, a general evidence of rare on th part of the city as a whole, and, the cooperation of oil companies In collecting waste oil, The report states: "We are firmly that. It Is entirely unnecessary for any oil burning ship or plant to dispose of the waste oil Into or near the waters of the harbor. There are a number of oil salvage companies In and around New Tork that are fully equipped to collect and properly dispose of all waste oil from ship or plants. "A number of plants now collect waste oil, and by the use of settling tanks and centrifugal separators are able to collect or save considerable good oil for plant consumption.

There is In process of development centrifugal system for Installation on board oil-burning ships that will care for all waste bunker oil. Similar systems are now In juse In commercial oil-burnlns fiants, and there is every reason tdTjbelleve that with slight modification they will operate Just as successfully on hoard ship. The Intallatlon cost will be low and the operation cost very small. The saving la fuel oil recovered from the waste oil will be considerable and would likely pay for th Installation in a short period of time." The committee consisted of Eugene P. Moran, ef the Moran Towing and Transportation Company, chairman; George Earl, of the New York and New Jersey Dry Dock Association; F.

"Second: So do not bolleve that 't Is proper for the Justices to agree. npon an arbitrary standard or tne rent, nor do we think that legislation cduld be passed fixing such an arbitrary standard which would survive an attack upon constitutional grounds. Our opinion Is that the standard fixing the reasonableness of rent should be determined by judlcinl deslcions, after the trial of actions, and we would tirjre that the case about to be submitted on an agreed -statement of fnrts be prosecuted with the greatest diligence, so that the trial courts would know the items to be taken Into consideration in fixing "reason-ajie" rent, More Justices Required, "For the permanent relief of the Municipal your committee Is unanimously of the opinion that more Municipal Court Justices are required in Brooklyn.

Notwithstanding the increase In population, there has been no corresponding increase of Municipal Court Justices. There should be at least four additional Justices.
