THE New Orleans Times Democrat

age of that city. 1t is devoting col
umns of its space to showing the ne
cessities of such general system of
drainage as will meet every sanitary
requirement, and is urging some con-
certed action by which this may be
accomplished. The undertaking of
the work by the city council was neg
atived by test vote in the city few
days since, but the majority was very
light and the Times-Democrat is of
opinion that this opposition can be
overcome by united action on the part
of those favoring the project. New
Orleans certainly needs effective,
drainage and if the I'D. secures it.

Reforming the Methods cfAssessors.
Mr. Adams bill regulating the duties of
Assessors, passed the Senate last week. Il
requires the Assessor TO render n sworn and
itsmized account of what he il doing daily.
II increases his compensation to So per day.
He must inform the Auditor in writing of
returns he does not believe TO be true. In
stead Of eIempting from taxation $50 in
personal property, it requires everything to

not to exceed s100. The taxpayer must list
all taxable property held by another for
him, either in or out of the State, and also to
list for taxation any such property held by
another for any person for whom he is re-
quired to list. 1t specifically provides what
the oath of the person listing shall be. The
Assessors must meet before the Auditor,
previous to entering upon their duties, where
they shall be minutely informed as 10 their
duties. The Auditor is prohibited from is
suing warrant for their pay until they have
performed all their duties. The Assessor

The Ship Canal,

Gen. Gibson, President of the Ohio canal
commission, in IN interview while speaking
of the canals of this state said:
"The government should construct a ship
canal" said he, 'in order to be able to pro.
tect the lake ports" In case of necessity, it
could, If such canal we're in existence, send
a feet of boats up to the lakes and protect
the great cities that have no protection
whatsoever and cannot have in case of war.
Our treaty with England binds us not to have
more than one small vessel on the lakes
Should war arise England could fill the
lakes with fighting ships that would blow
Cleveland and Toledo and Detroit and Buff
falo and the smaller cities out of existence.
England has made ready for emergencies,
but America has not, and L think that one
day the necessity for a ship canal that would
enable the government to run a feet of gun
boats to the lakes will become so apparent
that action will be taken.
NWhich canal would be the best?"
"The Miami and Erie, beyond question.
1t could be easily widened and depend and
that would make it more useful for com
mercial purposes and would greatly increase
shipments. A considerable amount of busi-
meas is now lost because the canal is in such
bad condition that heavy loads cannot be
carrieds sthrough it. CD"

The contractors have their depots of broken
