MUNICIPAL REFORM,

1t is a significant fact that the con-
solidation of Greater London" which
took place shortly before the creation
Of Greater New York" has caused so
much dissatisfaction that a bill is now
in parliament providing for a very ma
terial modification of the municipal sit
uation. Similarly, there is much
grumbling in New York at the hard
ships imposed upon some of the Dor
oughs by the act Of consolidation, and
though there have been threats of an
appeal to the legislature, the New
Workers have not yet got so far on
the road as their British prototypes.
The London reform bin contemplates
the establishment Of sort of munich
pal federation. The powers of the
county council, which govern the great
city, will remain for the most part I'M
disturbed. but many of it's duties will
be delegated to subordinate legislative
assemblies. The city of London proper
is to be left untouched, but the outlying
area is to be divided into districts Of
from 100000 to 100000 population, each
of which is to have a mayor, a board
of aldermen and a common council
elected by the people. These subordi-
nate governments will exercise most of
the powers that belonged to the old
vestries. and others as they may sew
orally desire and the county council
may allow. There need be no uni
| formity in this matter among the
different metropolitan districts. Each.
however will be permitted to admins
ter it's local affairs about as it desires
Another important change relates to
the system Of taxation, which is now
very complex and expensive, but which
will be much simplified and the rates
presumably reduced.
Municipal government is one of the
unsolved problems of the age, and the
London efforts at a solution will he
watched with interest. The proposed
plan has seemed to meet with approval
outside Of the radicals, who are them
selves agreed upon nothing. With the
| supremacy of the boss system, It win
| be long time before the New York
boroughs get relief from the burdens
imposed upon them by a bargain of
rival politicians.

The subsistence OF predictions Of a
presidential raid on the civil service
is worth noticing. Soon after Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Inauguration 1t was asserted
that several hundred offices that had
been placed in the classified services
were to be withdrawn from It and
turned over to the spoilsmen. This an
noGncsment aroused protests through
out the country, and the matter was
dropped. A few mouths ago the rumor
was revived in a more definite form.
The number and names OF the Offices
were given with such show of conf
dence that many newspapers were dis
posed regretfully to accept it as true,
yet nothing has come Of il. On the
contrary, there are indications that the
classified service is to be extended, Mr..
Herbert Putnam's acceptance of the Of
flee of librarian of congress Is tho best
of guarantees of the truth Of the re-
port that the president has promised
him that politics shall have no part
in the administration of the library.
1t also lends plausibility to the report
that the entire library force Is to ba
added to the civil service list. This is
a pointer for those energetic gentle
men at the state house who are en-
deavoring to upset the merit system
in Massachusetts.

Against the athletes from the wor-
cester schools, the competitors In the
athletic games at the annual cham
pionships at Boston, have little chance
of winning the shield. 1t looks now to
be a certainty that the trophy win
come to Worcester to stay. Next year
will bring the series of contests for
the trophy to a close, which will then
have been running over a period OF
nine years, and the chances are ali in
favor of the trophy finding its final
resting place here, either at the Acad-
envy or at Worcester high school 1t is
of course within the range of posi-
bilities that either Eopkinson or Bos-
ton English high school may develop
a winning team next year and capture
the pennant for good, but as athletics
have been running since the Worces-
ter men became interested in the shield
it is hardly probable Should a dark
horse like Exeter or Andover send g.
winning team next year, It would leave
Worcester Academy in possession of
the trophy by reason of having won
second place more times than any of
the other teams with which the Aoad-
envy is tied for first place. It was a
foregone conclusion, as The Spy indi-
Gated early last week, that the cham
pionship this year would come to Wor-
cester.
