CoPIEs of the last report of Game Pro-
tector Shriner have been distributed, but
they are more of the nature of persona,
explanation than the report of state Of
fetal. Still, Mr.. Shriner paid for the
printing from his own funds, and was en-
titled to frame the contents to suit him
self. One of the passages in the book
reads thus: "It has also been stated that
the Commission does not file its vouchers
with the proper authorities in Trenton
have no doubt that Secretary Frothinp-
ham would like to know who the proper
authorities are with whom TO file the
vouchers. | know that he has offered
them to the Comptroller and to others in
the State House and invariably met with
the response that there was no room for
them there. The Commission has never
paid out single dollar without a proper
voucher and it has every year filed de-
tailed and itemized statement of its re-
ceipts and expenditures and these have
been printed in the annual report" All
of this is very nice and appears to show
that all necessary to get information is to
apply and it will at once be Forthcoming.
yet we happen to know that it has been
difficult to get figures in one instance.
The applicant was told he could get the
information at the Office of the secretary.
This, however, happens to be located in
New York City. Here is point that
needs attention. If this Commission is
maintained at the expense of New Jersey
and is designed to be beneficial to this
state, it has no business to have its main
Office located in New York. The taxpay-
ers of this state are entitled to examine
the records of the Commission and should
not be compelled to go out of the state to
do it. If the law under which the Com
mission exists does not make provision for
filing its records in the state the statute
should be changed. There is suspicion
that one of the deputies of this Commits
sion has received payment of bills that
will not bear investigation. but up to the
present time it has not been possible to
get copy of the bills, as they are not on
file in the state and nobody seems to care
to go to the expense of trip to the office
of the secretary in New York to get what
should be easy of access at Trenton the
same as the accounts of other state ofic-
ials.

quarters there is an effort to show that

thing to publish the private affairs Of citi-
zens, there are times when such action
gives satisfaction and delight to all. This
is especially the case in the recent pub
licity given to the success attending the
efforts of Gen. E. Burd Grub to resusci-
tate his iron industries From all quar-
tiers come words of congratulation with
the hope that the General may live long
to enjoy his possessions Gen. Grub has
all the attributes of perfect manhood, and
1t is those sterling qualities that have en-
deared him to the people and caused them
to sympathize with him in misfortune and
rejoice with him in prosperity.

The turnpike which may have answer
ed the purpose of the barons of a feudal
age must go, and that, too, without being
sold back to the public from which the
roads were stolen at big profit. Those
roads have been allowed to run down and
become unfit for tollable travel with
view of forcing the county to take them,
and this the county should do, but in
the way of confscation or reversion to
the public, the original owners. The COM
panies have been paid for their invest
ment through the long continued exact
ion of tribute from travel on the kings
highways, and 1t is time that this relic of
bygone age should be wiped ont with
other relics of barbarism. Under our new
system of improving roads the turnpike is
an anomaly, and the tearing away of turn
pike gates is more justifable than the
throwing over of the tea in Boston harbor
on the ground of unjust taxation. The
scheme to compel the county to buy those
roads is conspiracy against the general
public. Our improved city streets are
public property, and so should be the inn
proved or unimproved country roads,

Where Tenders Are Used.

Editor Morning News: notice a state
ment by Mr.. Fall, vice president of the
street railway, in which he says that there
are only two OF the larger cities where
tenders are now in general use on cars.
namely Baltimore and ST. Louis.
Mr.. FAN may not be correctly Informed
on this matter. but in the cities of ST.
Paul and Minneapolis with their seventy
five miles of street railways, for the last
six years, every car has been euuipped
with a fender, which can be applied TO
either end, thereby making the expense
lighter than II both ends had tenders. This
fender Is 80 arranged that it can be low

CITY BREVPTIES.

The contractors, who have been laying
artificial stone paving along the Bull street
side of the custom house., and in front of
the Mackall building OH Bull street have
completed the work. The walks will be
ready for use to-day. The benefit of
good walk seems to be realized, as proper
ty owners are continuing the walks around
the corner on Bay street. Where they will
stop is something that cannot be told.
Complaint Is made to the Morning News
of the conduct of a crowd of soldiers. or
men wearing the uniform of soldiers. who
congregate at or near the crossing of Esull
avenue and Waters road. II is stated that
they seize the horses of citizens going by
on horseback or in vehicles, and bicycles
and use them roughly. These outrages are
mostly committed on quiet colored people
coming In or going out of town on bust
ness but in some instances white people
have come in for attention. The soldiers
have, with few exceptions, given citizens
no trouble and il has been a pleasure to
the Morning News to record that fact, and
that few men should be permitted to dis
grace their uniforms should not be toler-
ated. 1t would be well for the officer In
command of the post, or the provost mar
shall. to see that the occurrences referred
to are not repeated.

LOOKING AFTER THE MARKET
Alderman DoyIe's Plan for Improve
ments.

Alderman Doyle is preparing for gem
eral overhauling around the market build
ing. which he intends to put in better con-
dition than at present. The money neces-
sary for the work was appropriated al the
last meeting of Council, upon resolution
of Alderman Doyle, so that there will
be no delay on that score.
There are several changes in connection
with the plumbing which the alderman
wishes made. as he believes there will
then be considerable improvement. 1t is
the desire to keep the building in perfect
sanitary condition, and the bad plumbing
is the first thing that seems TO need rem
edying.
According to my idea of letting city
contracts, and the pan l shall adopt In
awarding these plumbing contracts said
Alderman Doyle yesterday, there is 40
need for mourning the i'll viii of any per
sons. Bids have been called for through
the newspapers and as soon as they are
in, they will be opened and the contract
awarded to the lowest and best bidder in
accordance with the usual rules. The po-
litical inclinations of plumbers cut no ice
with me. Absolute fairness and impair
TALLY should be adhered to, and atten-
ton given only to the city's interests. This
method OF awarding contracts by all the
committees of Council having work in
charge would lead to a better feeling
among our citizens. and especially some
OF the business men, who feel that they
have not been given a fair showing in
some instances.
with reference to the market. I will
say we intend to introduce a number of
reforms there. In the first place, after
closing hours tonight, when the paving
around the building has been nicely swept,
the force will. flush the surroundings with
water. Arrangements have already been
made for this washing, and l intend to
see that It is carried out every Saturday
night. 1t is true we are rather scarce of
water at times, but think what is thrown
around the market once a week is as well
used as when sprinkled on beds of roses
in the parks This Improvement concerns
both the appearance of things around the
market building, and also the health of
the city. Particles of food, decayed vege-
table matter. disease germs and other
filth accumulates in places where 1t Is inn
possible to remove it with brooms"

willingly pay a dollar for ticket good
for twenty-five rides, and having a ticket
already paid for would ride more often
than if the cash fare had to be forthcom-
ing.
Whether this plan is practicable or not,
it is evident that the street railways plan
is 10 squeeze as much out of it's patrons
as 1t is able to. and to give as
little in return as possible. A gentleman
who has given some attention TO street
railway matters said that either the direc-
tors and officials of the Savannah lines
are not informed in regard to the opera
ton of modern street railway systems, or
they have been misquoted, or are mis-
taken, to say the least, in regard TO the
Improvements adopted and in use else
where and to which the Savannah sys-
tenn is total stranger. For the distance
Travelled 1t is estimated that Savannah
ians pay higher fares than any city in
the United States-and get the least ac-
commodation.
