LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP

John Mayo Palmer Of Chicago IL the
author Of the bill Introduced In the
legislature by Representative McGOor.
~ for the purpose Of establishing a
state board Of municipal works.
charged with the duty Of improving
methods employed In the furnishing Of
water. light, heat and facilities for
transportation and communication. Mr..
Palmer holds that the methods dealing
with these things are defective II not
vicious, and Of his bill he says:
''The hill concerns In IN exceptional
manner the people OF Chicago. hut II
concerns In almost equal degree all the
people Of MI the pOpulous cities. towns.
villages OF the state. who constitute a
large majority Of all lts Inhabitants. II
the principle OF mupicipal ownership OF
such property Ia sound. the most favor
able locality for testing It In practice
will be found In some Of the thriving
experiment will not be seriously com
plicated with the adjustment OF exist.
ing or vested private interests, which
IL one of the most embarrassing Gle.
ments In the problem.
Nor are urban populations alone In
terested In the subject. for until Il salts
factory security upon which to obtain
funds for their construction Ii devised
no practical solution will be found Of
the much.discussed and difficult prob
lem of country roads. Country high
ways which shall he continually useful
can be constructed only upon the same
general physical plan az on city streets.
and the question In both cases alike Ia
one Of the methods In raising the funds
to defray the first cost.
in special taxation and assessments
cities and villages have source from
tlOn OF their streets, which by the con-
stltutiOn IL withheld from counties and
townships In respect to roads. There Ii
good reason to believe the proposed In
vestigatiOp will demonstrate that a
pledge of very moderate tolls and
charges for the use Of improved country
highways will furnish a security en-,
tirely satisfactory to prudent Investors
apon which funds may he obtained for
heir construction. At all events, the
circumstances that private corpora,
lions have been able, with much more
limited resources, to construct and
maintain turnpikes at u profit, renders
such result of the investigation prob
able"
In substance Mr.. Palmer's bill reads
section /. That the Governor be
