MUNICIPAL FINANCES.
Ex-Assistnnt City Counselor Palmer
Tells Where the City Gets Its
Money md How 1t Spends It,

Clarence S. Palmer, ex-assistant city
counselor. delivered a lecture at the Y. NJ.
c. A. rooms last night on the subject,
How the City Gets Its Revenue and How
1t Spends It The lecture was replete
with information of interest to those who
are not familiar with the details of the
financial phases of the municipal govern
ment.
You have been listening for several
weeks" said Mr.. Palmer. Ito discussions
of soul stirring topics, and it seems very
commonplace to come down TO the ropo-
sition as to how the city gets and spends
its revenue. Yet without money there
would be no city government. which touches
the citizen at every turn. When he goes
downtown the amount of mud he gets on
his shoes depends upon the efficiency of the
street department. The very air lie breathes
is clearer now that the smoke ordinance Is
being enforced. Whether he breaks his leg
going downtown depends upon the fidelity
with which the city cares for its citizens
safety"
Mr.. Palmer gave a detailed review of the
manner of collecting the city's revenue and
figures for the last fiscal year. during
which over 5000 600 was collected. He eN-
planned the estimates of the comptroller,
the apportionment by the council. the levy
and collection of taxes.
The duties, powers ana nature of each
city department were explained at length
and at the close of the lecture the audi
ence had, or at least should have had. a
clear and comprehensive conception of just
whence he city's money comes and whittier
IL goes.

TO TIE UP EASTERN ROADS.
Initial Lines Will Attempt to Stop
Rate Cutting by Their
Connections

Western lines are e~ndeavorins to reach
an agreement by which the cutting of
packing house rates east bound out OF
Kansas City can be prevented. None of
the Western lines is charged with rate cut
ting, but Eastern lines have made deep
cuts. probably as much as 10 cents under
the tariff. and given these rates as a basis
to the Western lines which are their clos
est connections. As Il result Western lines
have had cut rates to which they We're
not themselves parties, other than TO the
extent OF allowing their representatives
to use them at the expense of Eastern lines
and to the profit of the packers. 1t is to
stop this that the proposed agreement is
TO he made. The report that the Burling-
ton had secured the bulk of the packing
house business, which recently gained cur
rency. was unfounded. The burlington for
eighteen days carried twenty-seven of the
5l4 which moved. The Milwaukee carried
more than any other road, 19S cars. The
rate of the ~Burlington's connections is I'M
derstood to have been 10 cents under tariff;
of the M~ilwaukee'S connections, 12la cents.
The Missouri Pacific took the business from
both. with. OF curse, a cut of more than
l21a cents. made undoubtedly by the East
ern lines which are close connections of
the Pacific. After a thorough investigation

badly demoraliZed.
No agreement could be reached on the
restoration of the rates on merchandise
which have been cut of late. and there was
still less chance for an agreement on the
grain moving now. and this, it was admits

that prevents the rates from going to
pieces. The meeting adjourned indefinitely.
II is an open secret that. the Western

The truth is the Eastern trunk lines under

board.
Chicago shippers declare that transcon-

YALE'S UNFAIR ATTITUDE.
Does Not Want to Give Cornell a
Voice Il Arrangements for
Another Race.

The Yale Navy defends its attitude to-
ward Cornell by stating that the Ithacans
have caused all the trouble by naming con-
Iitions in the acceptance of the blues chal-
lenge. In n word. Yale wishes il to be I'M
derstood that Cornell, having won a mag
nificent boat race from Yale and Harvard,
and having acted in the most magnani-
nous way ever since, has absolutely no
right to have a voice in the arrangement
of another race and positively no privilege
to name a condition. Yale. on the con-
trary, must do all the debating. although
Harvard, with apparently equal rights. has
expressed a Willingness to row Cornell
without conditions. According to the New
Haven version Cornell must beg to be per-
mitted TO row just one more race. If Ith-
AGA doesn't want to do that. why she can
get into the race by entering as the guest
of Harvard. College men not carried away
with prejudice fail to understand why Cor
nell should be subjected to such manifest
ly unfair treatment. The privilege of nam
ing the time and place for a race next year
could have been granted TO Cornell, they
say, without fear of the result, for the lth-
acans would have undoubtedly been square
enough to consider the wishes of Yale and
Harvard, both of whom do not want to
leave New London. 1t was only a matter
of form hat would have satisfied CorpellS
by no means inflated pride.
