temporary says very forcibly This
easy going way of doing business is no

actly what the taxpayers have right TO

Nee Era is hardly consistent, however,
in maintaining that is always safe to
assume that Select Councilman Robert

arise in councils is" exactly what the
taxpayers have q right to expect.

acceptance of the electric light in the

SOME of the difficulties which attend
the inability Of the speaker to oblige all
the demands upon him by importunate
members OF the House of Representa-
tives for good places on good committees
will be relieved perhaps by the organiza'
tion of number of special committees,
to be composed as follows Civil service
reform, thirteen members law respect
ing the election of president, thirteen
members pension, bounty and back pay,
public health and liquor traffic, each
nine members ventilation of the hall,
seven members, and American shipping,
eleven members. The suggestive titles
OF these committees indicate that their
chairmanships will be places of honor.
Certainly such subjects as civil service
reform, the electoral coHege and Ameri
can shipping are broad enoughto engage
the attention of enlightened statesmen
AS the move for these committees comes
from the committee on rules, it is to be
presumed that the provision for them
meets with the speakers approval, and
like as not, they will relieve him from
some of the terrific pressure to ~ hich he
| is now subjected.

did vital public interests demand the
improved system, but the electric com

the necessary arrangements. In foreign
cities the underground system Is largely

to be a costly improvement in any event
