PENNSYLVANIA STATE WORKs.-Penn.
sylTania newspapers are pretty generally
united in advocating the sale of the pub
lie works. 1t is now conceded that they
are Improbable to the State, and cannot
be otherwise than Improbable while they
remain in its ownership. The Harris
bUrgh Union says:
Their actual cost has been $50 ,542,-
261.II-the interest paid on the same has
bec1 S35, Isl, 796.13-the expense of
Conducting them has been nineteen and a
half millions, and the entire revenue only
S2j, 342, 020.47. The total cost of the
state works to the present time, has been
IN round numbers, say 500, 200, 900, and
all We can show to meet this is revenue
of less than S26,0O0,OO0 When we add
that new appropriations arc asked,
amolntir" to over SC, 00O, COO, the public
may Judge for themselves, whether, under
SUCH management of affairs as we have
had, and as We are likely to have, the
interest. Of the people would be best pro-
NOTED by retaining or disposing of the

ing but the public interest in view, we
say sell them. and, if you cannot sell
them, give them away, do anything but
keep them longer.
