THE STREET COMMISSIONER.
A Proposition TO Abolish His Office
The Views or a Taxpayer.

A Proposition TO Abolish His office
The Views OF a Taxpayer.
To the Press & Dakotsian: Among
other citizens I was present at the
council meeting last night, and was
much interested IN the proceedings, u
was also glad to NOTICE the large number
OF interested taxpayers gathered there
to see and hear the deliberations OF our
city law makers. This is ~oommendable
for it eyinces q lively interest on the
part of our citizens in the affairs Of Dur
city. OF course every citizen desires to
see our city prosper. To that end they
are willing to meet and cheerfully pay
all taxes essential to our permanent
growth and prosperity. While they are
willing to be generous in this direction,
they at the same time demand at the
hands OF our disbursing officers q just
discrimination between profligaey and
a reasonable economy in the expenditure
Of the peoples money.
The resolution offered by Alderman
Branch to abolish the office OF street
commissioner, I am constrained to be-
lievs is o move on the right direction
and in furtherance of reasonable
economy. Our street commissioner is
drawing about the $500 a year from
our city treasury simply as q boss or
overseer. You scarcely ever see him at
work laying cross walks or shoveiinR
gravel, but he ssumes the duties Of the
committee on grades, streets end alleys.
and bosses the work insteed of doing it,
or helping to do it. The street COM
missioner's bill for April, as l heard it
read last night, amounted to about $l40
or o little over. OF this sum probably
| half went to the street commissioner
for his services, when the work could all
have been done that was done just as
well without him ct O saving OF sixty
dollars or theresbouts to the city. This,
I think, is all wrong. II the city wants
o cross walk laid. let the proper commit
tee hire o man to do it, and n OF the
committee boss the job himself, instead
OF hiring q man to do it at the expense
of the tax payers. The tax
payers have q right to demand
this in the interest of reasonable
economy. And il you must have o stree.
commissioner, then let a man be ap
pointed who will take off his coat and
work and let the committee or grades
streets and alleys do the bossing. | dc
not write this because I have any OBJ
lection to the present street commits
sioner personally, for I have none. i
he can draw his two dollars per day tht
year round as q boss, he would be a foo
not to do it and I don't blame him TO,
wanting to hold on to such o soft snap
The city council, however, have no RICH
to tax the people to pay IN officer who ]
a mere sinecure and therefore the to.
payers demand thet the office be abol
ished. TAXPAYER.

HOW LONG, OH HOW LONG
Will the Citizens Of Hopkinsville
Have to Wait Before Mr.. Nc
Kepzie Will Consent to
Conduct the
Post-offios According to the Re.
quirements Of the Postal
Lawss

We were in hopes that the few
suggestions thrown out by the KEN
rUoKIAN as regards the post-oflice
would be properly considered by the
postmaster, and steps taken at once
to comply with every requirement
of the law. The people Of Hopkins
vile and vicinity are interested in
this matter, and are anxiously
Awaiting renewed interest on the
part of Mr.. Mckenzie.
In the New Era of the 18th Mr..
Mckenzie offers somewhat of an
apology for the fen mistakes that
have been made in handling the mail.
lie evidently has not been in when
the mail given 10 wrong persons has
been returned, TO again go through
the Office before reaching the right
one. We tell Mr.. Mckenzie If he
will watch little more carefully he
can sum up more than .Jeic mis-
takes, and some Of them are pretty
serious ones too, all of which could
be easily remedied by the employ
ment of competent persons to handle
the delivery. fit is necessary that
a postal clerk should be so thorough
ly familiar with every post-oflice and
mail route that he can tell at a glance
the quickest way to send mail, in or
der that 1t may reach its destination,
we should think il equally as i'm
portant that Mr.. Mckenzie should
employ competent clerks TO handle
the mails who will have pride enough
not to make mistakes, and use all
necessary care in the handling of
mail.
Mr.. Mckenzie also suggests that
those who are not satisfied can COM
plain to the Postmaster-G General. 1t
does seem to us Mr.. Mckenzie ought
TO take sufficient pride in conducting
the office so there would be no COM
.lsint necessary rather than encour-
age peoPio - ..,--,--- .--..,,.,.
The people want first-class oInos,
aud they will try TO put up with the
present inadequate building, If Mr.
Mckenzie will put in force enough
TO open all mails promptly upon their
arrival keep the Office open on Sun
days after the arrival of mails ; keep
the Office open after SUPPER and not
close up for supper; and not get any
more mail matter mixed.
Now there is nothing suggested
but what the people have right TO
expect, and when people have right
to anything of course they want it,
and nothing pleases anyone so much
as to receive his mail matter prompt
ly and correctly.
With a salary of $500, an allow
ance of $500 for clerk hire, and his
rent made up by the business men,
we see no reason why the postmas-
ter could not afford to hire good men
to assist Mr.. Randle, and satisfy the
people. The question now is, will
Mr.. Mckenzie put forth the effort to
satisfy the people? or will he just
let them be compelled TO accept a
continuation of past experience? We
hope not.
