MUNICIPAL CREDIT TO RAILROADS..
Mr.. Phillips bill in relation to city railroads,
which he orered to-day, contemplates the stamp
ing out OF what he, as man rom the interior,
considers great swindle In many cases-vz.,
companies BY Municipalities. the bill pro-
Tor any railroad purpose. Tbis is beginning at the
bottom OF the ladder in following up. Governor
Dix's suggestion, that the practice Of allowing
towns to bond themselves for the advancement
OF railroad projects should be stopped. A bill to
carry out TINS new OF the town bonding business
VIII, Doubtless, soon make Its appearance.
NO EXTRAS FOR THE ALDERMEN.
Mr. Waehner's bill IN relation TO the Board OF
Supervisors Of New York Is queer one In that
object it Is really aimed at. 1t starts out
by declaring that. the Board Of Aldermen shall
be the Board OF supervisors and that the
Mayor and Recorder shall be members OF
the board. No one need be told that the members
OF the Board OF Aldermen are also members Of the
Beard Of Supervisors, nor that the Mayor and Re-
corder are also members. But the point OF the
bli after this settler OF provision, declares that
1t would have been just as easy, one would
think, to have made the bill say simply that the
Supervisors should hereafter serve without pay;
but there Is nothing so attractive to new members
as bill that beats about the bush in useless sec
lions before coming to the point 1t LOOKS iornid-
able as well as learned.

some plan by which defalcations in the Treasury
may not occur again; but there are very few
Albany legislators who believe that resolutions
can make dishonest men honest.
