on motion Of Mir. Walerstein, the re-
port of the Committee on Retrenchment
and Reform. providing for the reduction
Of the salaries of certain city officers, was
taken up.
The ordinance providing for the reduc-
ton of the salary Of the City Engineer
from five TO four thousand dollars was
the first presented. and i'm speaking to
the question Mir. Caskie, chairman OF the
committee, said that no member of the
Committee on Retrenchment and Reform
sought the position. knowing that il
would be "a thankleSs, an arduous and q
disagreeable job. and that they would. in
the discharge Of their duty, perhaps gain
the enmity Of some Of the officers reduced
in SALARY
lie said they had cut at the top, and
not at the bottom. bat that no personal
feeling had been considered in the matter,
and that any mistakes made were of the
head ana not the heart.
He discussed at length the financial con-
ditiOn of the city and said if their report
did nothing but impress upon the Council
the necessity of being more careful in
spending the city's money their work
would be well done.
He said there had not been a year In
the last four or five that the current ex-
penditures was not more than the cur
rent receipts and that during that time
the floating debt had been increased
several hundred thousand dollars. and
that higher taxes were inevitable If il
continued. He expressed the opinion that
the people could not stand a higher rate
OF taxation, as the assessments now were
more than the real value of The property
SAID he We must call a halt. and the
committees must stay inside of their ap-
preparations.
In reply to question from Mr.. Glover
Mr.. Caskie said the amount passed 10 the
sinking fund was about $4,000 a year,
while the expenditures over receipts were
about $4,000. making the actual excess

The Post Office.

September 22, 1880. the Congress of the
United States passed an act for the estab-
lishment Of a national post Office system,
and that prince Of practical men. Ben
jamin Franklin. was appointed the first
Postmaster General. Previously some of
the colonies had made attempts to provide
for postal service. In 1867. the Virginia
legislature passed an act requiring plant
ers to furnish a man and horse to forward
letters from plantation to plantation. u
der penalty of being fined a hogshead Of
tobacco. In 1912, a monthly post" was
started between New York and Boston.
From 1902 to 1899 the following we're
letter postage rates: 50 miles, s cents;
so miles, 5 cents; 100 miles, 10 cents; $50
miles, II cents; zoo miles, IS cents: $50
miles, ~ cents: 35omiles. 70 cents, $50
2z cents; ove $50 miles. IS cents. These
rates we're pretty nearly %prohibitory. In
1885, the rate was reduced 70 S cents for
distances under 600 miles; over that dis
lance 10 cents. In 1850 the rate was
made 8 cents on prepaid letters, 5 cents
on not prepaid. under 5000 miles; over
that distance. double rates. October !,
1885, the letter rate was reduced to 2
cents for any distance in the United
States. In 1876. the estimate Of the Post
Office department. indicated 4 profit Of
81. ooo.oo on letter mail. but 4 loss Of
$1,000, 900 on newspapers and packages.
Two out Of three post Offices do not pay
expenses OF m~aintenance. The most
rapid development. however, has been IN
the railway mail service. Whole trains

THE TICKET.
Speaking in general terms, the ticket is
a good one and a strong me-. Under
existing conditions, it is an almost sure
winner. There are two or three possible
exceptions, but the indications are for a
good, round majority for the ticket as a
whole. This without any DISPLACEMENT
to the opposition-either Populist or
