The Street Force Kept Upon Busi-

Around and No N Oney Wasted.
1t used to cost the city OF Topeka over
$4,000 to keep the streets. bridges and
sidewalks in repair. 1t cost $4,000 more
than that in 1898, during Mayor Jones'
administration and that was less than the
people of Topeka usually paid.
1t is somewhat surprising, consequent
ly, that Mayor Harrison and the street
commissioner have succeeded in reducing
the expense over $15.OU0, large as that
sum may seem.
This has been done by the shrewd and
business-like administration which Mayor
Harrison has given the city. Here are
the figures from the records:
Salaries of the street force in 1898 I'M
der Mayor Jones and Mayor Cofran,
$50, 1872.
Salaries OF the street force in 1894 un-
der Mayor Harrison, $1,000 80.
Miscellaneous expenses of the street
force in 1S93-the first four months I'M
der Mayor Cofran's appointments-$4,
46377
Miscellaneous expenses of the street
force in 1898, $2,61328.
Total cost of street force in 1898. $751;
64S89.
Total cost of street force in 1894, $22,-
sos 90.
Saved to the tax payers in 1894 over
1898, $15,34066
This has been accomplished, too, with
the result that the streets of Topeka have
been in as good condition as they have
ever been.
The street force used to be the refuge
for politicians who had made promises to
their friends. 1t was so easy to put a
man on the street force pay roll who
only served as an ornament There
were inspectors of this and that and a
ditch a few feet long could not be dug in
the city unless an inspector" was there
to see that it was done right Then there
were deputies and other officers who, it
has since been found, can be left off the
pay roll without being missed
Following are the officers which no
longer exist in an official capacity under
Street Commissioner Naylor:
One deputy, salary $50 month; one
general foreman. 500 month";; one in.
spector of excavations, $50 a month; one
city teamster. $40 a month.
The following is the amount of the
pay roll for the two years by months:
