1T may be remembered that Thomas

Most of the sky-scraping buildings In
New York have been erected upon con-
crete work, laid upon sandy foundations.
Rarely, indeed, have the builders gone to
the expense of digging down to the bed
rock. The result Of piling up these i'm
mense weights is that when new excava-
lions are opened alongside the "sky-
scrapers," the sand oozes out In great
quantities 1t then becomes necessary
for the new builder to "shore up his tall
neighbor, and this involves a vast ex-
pense. The city OF New York is also put
to disadvantage whenever it undertakes
TO make deep excavations for conduits,
sewers, &c.
In the interest Of real estate owners
and the general public. the New York
Times argues that the building law should
be so changed as to prevent the needless
builder from placing such an undue load
upon yielding material. especially at any
depth shallow as to render IL i'm
practicable for the owners of adjacent
lots, or the city. to carry out such plans
OF improvement as can be done with rea-
sonable care and expense.

According 10 the Atlanta Constitution,
the Legislature Of Georgia is going wild
over insurance legislation. The Dodson
bill, which has passed the House of Dele
gates. refuses to permit any insurance
| company 10 cancel a policy, even where
fraud in the application for such policy
has been clearly proved, unless the COM
pany first pays 10 the policy-holder, on
whom such fraud has been fixed, the
amount of his premiums already paid
i'm, with more interest says the Consti-
tution) than any company can earn. In
other words, in order to obtain an in
surance policy. "a designing schemer can
make the most fraudulent pretensions
without any risk to himself. If he
should be detected before his policy be-
comes non-contestible by limitation, the
company cannot cancel the policy, even
though fraud is admitted, unless it first
returns the premiums paid in, with in
tcrest" We agree with our contemporary
that man who thus deliberately pro-
ceeds to defraud an insurance company
has everything to gain and nothing to
lose for if he can conceal his fraud I'M
til the policy reaches the non-contestible
period, the policy thus obtained takes
equal rank with a policy issued to an
honest man on an honest application in
which no Misrepresentation are made.
The Dodson bill, therefore, does injustice
not only to the insurance companies, but
to their honest policy-holders, whose
dividends will be cut down.

How to Reduce virginia's Expenses.

Farmville. Va, December 2. 1897.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
heartily endorse the sentiment that
prevails In our State in favor Of a re-
duction of expenses, and suggest a few
| crude thoughts along this line.
| l. Our criminal expenses can be re-
duced by making the complainants In
misdemeanor cases responsible for costs
In cases or failure TO convict. Our courts
are too often appealed TO get vengeance
or punishment for personal grievance.
q Let those convicted OF misdemea-
nors be made TO pay a pecuniary fine or
work on the public roads thereby saving
TO the State so much in the way of
Jail fees.
3. Let the jail fees be reduced to %
cents per day, instead of 40, 30. and rs
cents, according to number of convicts
t. Abolish fees for receiving and dis
charging prisoners to and from jails.
D. Let fair and reasonable salaries be
fixed for our attorneys for the Common
wealth, without reference to the num-
Der of indictments, thus preventing the
appearance Of or disposition to hunt up
cases.
6. Do not allow the juries to be kept
together at the expense of the Sta >, ex-
cept in cases in which the punishment
may exceed ten years I'm the penitentiary.
{. Abolish mileage for venires.
8. Repeal the law, making non-pay-
ment of hotel bills crimes. Let this class
Of debt stand on same footing as other
debts
This much In the way OF reduction.
HOW TO INCREASE REVENUES.
/. Make 1t a penal offence for any
commissioner Of the revenue to fail to
visit every habitation in his district, re-
quiring him not only to swear the owner.
but personally inspect the property and
value the same.
2. Pass such legislation as will enable
The state to dispose Of the many thou
sand acres Of land bought in for taxes.
3. Utilize the public oyster lands.
These few suggestions, If carefully
looked into and adopted, will save the
State many thousands OF dollars.
Yours, j. NJ. CRUTH

MUST BE CUT DOWN,

The tone Of the State press shows that
it is very sound on the question of re-
trenchment and reform. From one end
of the Commonwealth to the other our
exchanges are looking to the General
Assembly to cut down expenses. and
recognizing the absolute necessity for so
doing.
If the Legislature does not take hold
of this question boldly, it will not be
owing to lack of encouragement from the
State papers. There is some difference Of
opinion as TO how and where the knife
should be applied. but the agreement on
the broad proposition that expenses must
be reduced is so general and is voiced in
such emphatic lines, that the Legislature
may rest assured that any practical plan
Of retrenchment it may adopt will be
heartily endorsed by the Virginia Demo-
cratic press. and the Virginia Democratic
masses it represents.
