nearly satisfactory and reasonably complete
government. For nearly the whole range
of the functions of municipal control the
Aldermanic body is already dispensed with.
and we believe the city would be governed
all the better if it were dispensed with as
to the rest BY the abolition of the Board
of Aldermen we should remove a body that
is always a reproach to the city and that
has little power save what it uses in the
embarrassment of other governing bodies !;
embarrassing them always with the
shamelessly ayowed purpose Of forcing
division of patronage. Only one
function of importance is left with the Al
dermen. This is the function they per-
form, not as Aldermen, but as Supervisors,
in the preparation of the tax levy 1t is a
curiosity in politics that this body has been
stripped of every one of its ancient and i'm
portant functions because of the corruption
which marked it's administration, and, at
the same time, has been made sort Of
municipal committee on the budget. The
one duty which above all others should de-
mand unstained probity for its performance

for dishonesty be trusted with ordinary
duties. An anomaly of that sort might
justly be corrected, and the heads Of all
the boards or commissions which constitute
our practical government could be as easily
as the Aldermen created Board of Super
visors for the purpose of the tax levy.
Aside from that duty the main evidence of
the existence of the Aldermen is in the
small political scandals they create and in
their embarrassment of the Mayor in his
endeavors to appoint good citizens to i'm
portant places in the departments.
