into the hands OF committees a..

has several advantages. First. it -
cures the independents CT public works
from any sort os connection with pali-
tics. Second, ii aims 10 secure the
service Of those citizens bess qualified

At least. than thai OF ordinary city Of
icers- Third. il relieves the city roy-
government. which usually has
enoagh TO do To look after the admin
trafion Of general city asfair~. of large
amount OF business. Ii has been
found in many cities that this plan
saves money In the baild'ng and the
operation Of public works: that il
keeps such works omf OF politics-in
short that ii is wise in ali respects.
Our nsishborlng city of Portland
Oregon, has q committee OF fifteen cit
ixens who administer the water sys-
fem- Within the four years that this
committee has been In existence il has
acquired for the city asys,em of water
works, has reduced water rates to
consumers mere than one-half. has
paid the interest on the purchase
price out OF the reduced income, has
paid all charges of every kind and has
never called on the city for one cent.
The only demand hiss been in relation
70 guaranty oG the bonds by
which the purchase of water works
was made. Having already done this
great service the commission is now
engaged upon scheme to bring
parer and larger supply of water from
the Cascade mountains, and this il
proposes To DO without spesiai tar
upon the city. We give these facts TO
show how really useful a commit
tee OF public works may be.
1t would not have been possible under
the limitations and practices of politics
for an ordinary city government to
have gone abou; the matter in busi-
ness way and 70 have accomplished
this excellent result.
We need the same sort of service in
Seat tie at this time If we look to the
administration OF public works BY
city officers, already crowded with
business and ehsnged or subject TO
change each year, we shall not have
a sort of administration consistent
With good bueiness ideas. For sup
plying the city with water, for
making system of sewers and
for the creation Of other necessary
public works here We need commits
sion made up of reliable citizens who
shall be authorized Ia serve not for q
brief term but until the job work IS
done. Not in any other way can the
works proposed be secured econom-
icaily and without eatanglements with
local politics likely - make very an
noy ing and costly scandals.
Ii must be understood that these
remarks are not intended TO cast any
sort of reflection upon our present
city government, which We regard as
honest and capable. We believe that
the members of this government
would be more than glad 10 see a COM
mittee of pabiic works a here sug-
gested, organized for the adminisira-
ton of the large enterprises about to
be undertaken by the city.
