PIcAYuyE EcoNoMY.-The City Council has
ordered the construction of drain or sewer on
Claiborne street; only portion of which drain
or sewer is to be constructed of masonry, and
the balance is to be of plank.
This strikes us as . specimen of picayuns
economy, and we cannot believe that the mem
bers have considered the matter with due care.
Not to expend dollar or two, or even five hun
bred dollars, is not always to save; on the con-
trary, is frequently Gas we consider it in this
CASEY rather false and extravaganza pretenee.
1t is better to pay good price for a good, sub
stantial and lasting article, than petty price
for an unserviceable, fimsy, perishable affair.
Such economy may give the present Council
chance to make, at the end of the official term,
. deceptive show of economy, bur such economy
is only matter of incessant. costly and waste
full repairs, and responsibility and added tax
alton cast upon future, innocent of the past.
As provided for by the present Council, the
continuation of the sewer or drain on Claiborne
street. will be nuisance, and not benefit to
those in its vicinity. We hope the Council will,
for the interests of all concerned, reconsider its
action

The FIRE ALARM TELEGRAPH - The Fire
Alarm Telegraph in Boston has now been in
operation one year. and the results obtained by
its use have been both manifest and important
The number of false alarms, as compared will
the previous year, has been reduced from sew.
enty three to ten, and the number of alarms by
fires out of the city, from forty-two to six
Each alarm costs the city about 500, and the
amount saved by their prevention is therefore
not an inconsiderable item Temporary diff
culties have been met in the working of the sys-
tenn, but these are becoming less frequent and
more easily overcome as the details of it are
better understood
