PRESIDENT M'LEoD TALKS.

He Gives the Reasons Why Receiver
Was Asked For.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2o.-President
Mcleod of the Reading in an interview
tonight said he was sorry they were
driven to the necessity for receivership,
but it was the only thing 70 do. Their
credit was attacked in way that made it
impossible for them to meet obligations
and they had the receivership established
before the property was further injured.
They were doing enormous business on a
small capital and when the attack was
made it hurt their credit so they could not
borrow money.

FOUR FAITHFUL SERVANTS.

The present city council is the best the city ever had, and that they have charge of affairs at time when so much is pending, is peculiarly fortu- nate. The two hold.over members, Messrs. McNeill and Chapman, are both shrewd business men and have shown themselves to be earnest and conscien- tious in their attention to the affairs of the city. It IS the fashion to criticise the action of legislative bodies, and the nearer they are to the critics the more frequent and scathing the criti- cism, hence city councils come in for great deal of popular scolding. No ex- ception has been made in favor of the late Phoenix city council. All must ad- init that what was done by that council was done well, and the fault alleged was that not enough was done. It has been partially overlooked that the coun- cil was hampered by want of funds.
 There is something else that the crit ics appear to have quite forgotten, or perhaps never thought of, and that is that the character of 6 servants labor depends upon the kind ot work which he is employed to do. A Greek profess sor might attract unpleasant criticism as blacksmith.
 It must be remembered that the old city council was elected only to admin. ister the affairs of the city economical ly. It was not expected to inaugurate any great reforms; it was authorized only to faithfully transact whatever business might be on hand and not to create new business. The old council carried out this understanding. Since then something else has happened. A popular desire for progress grew and day before yesterday swept new ad- ministration into power authorized to make progress. The enthusiasm with which Messrs. Cole, Goldberg and Lacy were chosen is an announcement to Messrs. McNeill and Chapman that change of popular opinion has occurred and they are thereby authorized to as- sist in the work oi improvement. Both gentlemen are energetic and public spirited, and now that they have re- ceived new orders will carry them out just as faithfully and ably as they did the orders issued year before.
Arizona republican., 1893-05-04

THE infusion into the city coun cil of the business talent, experience and energy.of Messrs. oldberg and Lacy is, aside from the election of Mayor Cole, the most fortunate thing that ever hap pened to the city. Their constituents expect great deal oi them, and they have right to do so. They were chosen because they were believed to be the best men obtainable. Fortunately neither of them were, in either good or bad sense of the word, politicians, and had made no effort to secure their nominations. Their choice was the spontaneous action of body of men quickened to a sense of the city's needs, which could be no better supplied than by giving these gentlemen seats in the council. The election of MT. Goldberg may be described as fattering to that gentleman, but it was not really 60, if we are to understand Hattery to be a a unearned compliment. Mir. Goldberg deserved every one of the votes cast, and therefore got precisely what was due him.
Arizona republican., 1893-05-04

Frs LABOR of Sysiphus to attemp to show that an afternoon paper is Cir it" as compared with morning journal When the attempt is made by such ar afternoon paper as the Pbenix Herald the attempt appears doubly pitiful and heartrending. Witness the following
 The Herald named the new city officials at o'clock last eyening-more than twelve hour. In advance of It's morning contemporaries The people want the news on the day it occurs They get it in the Herald.
 Ordinarily the Herald's "news" would have been considered premature inas. much as the close of the election was two hours off at o'clock, but the Herald was justified in making a pre- diction which had been made by TIE REPUBLICAN two weeks before and which was believed to be correct by everybody except the Herald and all other active or secret opponents of the Citizens ticket.

ANOTHER ESTIMATE.

The following from the Denver Eye contains an estimate of our enterpris- ing townsman widely different from that of the Arizona Gazette. It is also more valuable by reason of having been based upon an experimental knowledge of MT. Fleming's achievements which gave him foremost place among Den- ver's kings of business:
 A. K. Pierce has received from James A. Fleming, Phenix, Ariz,, 6 large photograph re- presenting the fine block he is now construct ing in that booming town. This structure is handsome and imposing. It will be of Arizona brown sandstone and Kansas City pressed brick. The latter cost over s7O per thousand laid in Phoenix. It will be four stories in height, size 75xl371z and the contract cost will exceed sl05,Oo0. Our former mayor is showing his everlasting faith in the future of Phoenix by his enterprise. "Jim" has the reputation of being . shrewd business man and rarely or never makes mistake in his investments.
Arizona republican., 1893-05-04
THE FIRST STEP,

Mayor Cole has already given out the initial movement he will make toward Iedeeming the pledge of progress made to the people of Phenix and on which they elected him with unanimity. Mayor Cole announces that the first step will be taken in the direction of extending the city's boundaries.
 This is necessarily the foundation for the great work rk>expected of the present administration and the purpose of the mayor will be assisted by the hearty cooperation of the council and will be supported by the good will and wishes of not only all who live within the present boundaries but also of nearly all residents of the additions proposed to be admitted. In one respect at least Phoenix is different from any municipality in the United States. Here is community with population variously estimated at from l2,000 to l6.0o0, covering an area of nearly five square miles, tolerably thickly settled throughout it's whole extent. This ter ritory is supplied with electric lights, water, gas, and nearly all other metro. poltan improvements.
 Yet Phenix proper is included in territory one mile long and one-hali mile wide, with a population of per. haps 5000, and, as shown by the event of day before yesterday, able to cast a vote oi less than 500 on an exciting and important issue.
 All other cities in their haste to &C., quire territory extend their limits so as to include unsettled territory which will not be built up into the semblance of city within the generation of per sons living at the time the extensions are made.
 Thus great deal of comparatively worthless property is made subject to municipal taxation in return for which the municipality finds it impossible to make public improvements calculated to enhance the value of the property so taxed. The suggestion then in the matter of the extension of the city limits oi Phoenix is to strike happy medium between it's present condition and those of other cities already des- cribed. Such districts should be taken in as are prepared to receive and enjoy the advantages to be derived from be- coming part of the municipality and with the natural growth from the limits outward let the boundaries be moved as the occasion may require.
 Iii absolutely necessary that the city should be enlarged. Phoenix can never be more than village even tho ugh the I great unincorporated additions around | it should' increase to ten times their present extent and population.
 The cost to the citizens of light, water, sewerage and other public ne- cessities furnished by private corpora. tions is too great.
 Phoenix will some time want to con- trol them, but can never do so with her narrow resources circumscribed by her present narrow boundaries.
 The last legislature prepared for the city charter, subject to its adoption, which is for the most part considered good. The defects and imperfections of the one rejected last year have been remedied and removed, and altogether the charter is considered as nearly satis. factory as charter may be.
 Tais will as early as possible be sub
Arizona republican., 1893-05-04

mitted, and if it is adopted the begin ming of the regeneration, of which 50 much has been lately said, will have commenced. With the other improve. ments of internal origin to follow, aided by s constant accession of capital and population from without, the Phoenix of 1895 is roseate picture.
