PARIS, March 16.—Premier Millerand today put aside the
German crisis long enough to discuss relations between France
and the United States and conditions of international credit. He
said to a representative of the Associated Press:

“France and the United must continue the close
friendship which has always been maintained. No fleeting mis-
understanding must be allowed to tretble their relations. ‘The
sooner misconceptions are dispersed the better.

“This seems an opportune time to recall to our friends, the
United States, that France is not asking for charity. The greater

Charges That Board of _
Works Is Not Consulted

Regarding Improvements

Giving for his reasons that the engineering department of the
citv hall staff failed to bring important street werk before the
Board of Works but simply went ahead without the authority
of that body in putting in improvements, Ald. Casey last night
intimated to the City Council that he was going to resign as
chairman of the Board of Works to avoid responsibility for some

 

“fool stunts” that have been done.

The matter came up when Ald, Casey protested against the
four-foot crossings that are being put in the business section
of the city and urged that the work be immediately stopped. He

stated that the Board of Works —=—
