Notwithstanding the i"cIement
weather the work Of making connec-
tons has been gong steadily forward.
Az editorial in the Le1ger last week
provoked more notice than it deserved.
The Water Board particularly felt that
it impeachrd somewhat thcirlntegrlty.
Accordingly they asked the Councl'
for an investigation OF accounts.
The committee charged with this
duty met "Wednesday evening, going
over the matter very thoroughly.
What they will report the JOURNAL
does not, of course, know. But speak

AS TO the works costing more than

upon this topic next week.
The review of the books show that

RAISING HIS SALARY.
POSTMASTER MKEAN EXPECTS A SUB.
STANTIAL INCREASE.

Business of the Office Increasing Rapidly
Effect of the Recent Gubernatorial
Election-Pittsburg Helping to Support
Outsiders-Prepared to Stand a Run.
Postmaster Mexican expects to receive
salary of 5000 next year as the result of
the unprecedented growth of business in the
Pittsburg postofiice this year. The salary
of the postmaster is based upon the business
of the preceding year. The last year of
Postmaster Larkin's term he received
salary OF IS, 800. but the business done that
year gave mis- successor a salary of S., 900 to
start with.
The business of the Pittsburg postoffice is
increasing rapidly but steadily year by
year, but this year it was given an extra
boom by the State election. The campaign
was conducted largely by mail, each of the
three parties sending out hundreds of thou
sands of letters and circulars
A peculiar feature of the business of the
Pittsburg Postofice Department is heavy
daily balances in the money order depart
ment in favor of this city. 1t is poor day
when So, 900 more than is paid out is not
taken in, and it occasionally runs up to
S15, 900 and $4,000 This shows that n vast
number of persons outside of the municipal
limits are indirectly dependent upon the
industries OF Pittsburg for support, and also
demonstrates that more money is earned in
this city than is absolutely necessary for the
support of its population.
Another remarkable fact is that while
only $500 is retained daily in the money
order department to meet demands for pay
mentS OF orders from other cities, this bal
ance has only been exhausted once in the
history of the Pittsburg postofice. As
general thing there is such rush to buy
orders that the daily balance is swelled
by several thousand dollars before the claims
for liquidation come in. If there should
happen to be run on this department it
would take but 20 minutes to obtain author
ity from the Department at Washington to
draw upon the United States depository
