A LITTLE MORE PUBLICITY.

Last week the Beacon criticized
Councilman Fiebeger because he had
called for an itemized statement Of
the expenses Of running the Akron
fire department for the past year.
Anxious to defend Judge Anderson's
proxy system Of running the Affairs
OF Akron, the Beacon cited Councilman
Fiebeger's request for information ns
being evidence, of negligence of his

cause am in favor of submitting these
questions to the people. voted against
IT at the polls because there was no
way provided for the payment of tho
debt Mr.. Fiebeger's bill obvatcs this
difficulty. am no wiser than the peo-
pie who have sent me here and am al
ways willing TO give them what they
want. They have said they want this
protection. What excuse can we make
If we fail to obey them. Every Coun-
Gilman, think, recognizes that we
cannot hire man or buy thing for
the fire department. That rests, under
| our present system Of government
with the Commissioners. We believe
| that expenses have been unnecessarily
high. We can, however, only act
through the law as we find 1t. We
cannot govern the city by injunctions.
We must act through the Commits
sioner law until II is repealed. 1t is
costly, inefficient, and un-democratic,
but until the people demand its repeal
they must pay the bill We cannot re-
fuse to give them light, police, and fire
protection simply because the Commits
sioncrs have not administered the gen.
ernl affairs of the city IN the interests
OF economy. II the commissioners
neglect their duties 1t Is no excuse for
us TO neglect our obligations. The
iCouncllmen have repeatedly and almost
continuously fought against this ex-
travagnncc, but political influences
and dead-locks have made It inpossi-
bile to accomplish anything. The Board
OF Commissioners has appeared to
Council of late years to he organized
and controlled more in the interests
of politicians and the privileged inter-
csts than for the benefit Of the people
who pay the taxes. These abuses will
continue until the people determine to
do away With them"
1t cannot be denied that Akron hos
many industries that, IL burned down
now, would never be rebuilt. at least
not in this city; and In the interests
Of the thousands of employees who
earn their daily bread in these instl-
tutions, and the greater number OF
dependents whom their wages support,
it would be bad policy for any Council
TO deny them adequate tire protec.
tion.
The place for the people TO demand
retrenchment Is in the administration of
the general affairs of the city. For the
last eight years the people have been
spending upward Of $4,000 year
to pay four Commissioners to manage
the affairs of their city, aud these
men must be held responsible for the
deficit that is now raised as barrier
to needed improvements. This point,
however, was so admirably covered
in the remarks Of Councilman Paul,
that the Democrat can add nothing
thereto.
Those who read the report OF last
nights Council meeting, published In
another column, will note the petition
which was sent to Columbus by the
lending manufacturing and business
concerns of the city in behalf of the
bill enabling the city TO be provided
