Keep the Harbor Open.

To the Editor OF the virginian-Pilot:
The health Of Norfolk is dependent
In a large measure upon having a
good water course at our doors. IF the
public health and comfort are pro-
NOTED by having parks as lungs for
the city, much more are they by hav-
ing good stream at hand acting as a
sewer for the city. This sewer should
not be stopped up
The city of Glasgow, in Scotland
may be cited as an example. This
large city has grown up on the banks
of small river. known as the CLYDE.
which is about one thousand feet wide.
and which has been dredged deep
enough for the vessels of commerce.
1t is the only outlet for the sewerage
OF the city, and although the rise and
fall of the tide there is some fifteen or
twenty feet. anording very active
drainage, the odors that arise from the
stream are horrible. In travelling on
the stream bubbles are seen every
where arising, giving off the most
abominable gases. We may see the
same conditions here if we continue to
contract our stream. BY all means.

In your charges against the Admin

change in regard to civil service?
President Mckinley was elected on
a platform pledging the party that the
civil service law should be honestly
enforced and extended whenever prac-
ticable."
Instead of doing that he promul-
gated an order which withdrew from
the classified service 100 positions.
Besides. the order permits emergency
appointments to be made permanent
without examinations, and reinstate-

most important Is the fact that 1t al
