THE CITY ENGINEER

The resignation of City Engineer L
C. Kelsey came as a great surprise
not only to the city council but to the
general public, Taking all the err
rumstances into consideration, this
step seems TO have been the only course
tbe engineer could pursue with justice
10 his own feelings ana position. Ho
has occupied an unenyiable place loI
long time His sensitive nature could
scarcely endure the trials which over
wheImed him. His resignation VIII no
doubt prove great relief to him per-
sonaIy, and the loss will be to this
municipality,
Mr. Kelsey has been very efficient
public servant We do not think that
even his strongest opponents viii cast
doubt on his ability, honesty, integ-
rIiy and desire for the public welfare.
He IS eminent In his profession. The
fact that bis services viii now com
mand, at least for season, double the
compensation that he received from
this city, Is evidence In that direction.
IN every department Of his Office he has
exhibited talent OF the highest order
and we believe everybody will concede
his perfect sincerity in every move
ment which he suggested or supported.
The difficulties which stood In his
psth were to some extent Of his own
making. He was utterly withoutpollcy.
Strong IN his own convictions, he was
not able always to understand that
other people, equally strong-mlnded
could differ entirely from him and stlll
be as honest as himself There was a
certain amount Of lnfexlbility in his
character, manifest In his association
with other city officials, which rend-
cred him obnoxious to them. and this
naturally rebounded upon himself.
With the disputes which have oc-
Cured between the engineering and
other departments Of the municipal SER
vice We do not wish to interfere. and
viii not attempt TO pass Judgment up
IN them, We only have this to say
n that connection; We are convinced
hat Mr.. Kelsey has acted upon his best
Judgment, and with the full desire to
Uphold that which he believed to be in
he clty's interest, regardless Of the
'riyate views, purposes and designs of
individuals. II will be some time be.

y, eapably and completely and with |
Qual regard for the public welfare.
The city loses a valuable public Of

hat he will leave US with the feeling in

reated and not sufficiently apprecial-

Opinions about the effect of the ex-
port tax of one shilling per ton of coal
which was adopted by the House of
Commons last evening are various In
England, A shipowner writing to the
London Times declares that the tax
ought not to make a ripple In trade.
Most Of the running contracts Of coal
owners were mad>, he declares, months
ago, when prices were several shillings
higher than they are today, and show
such handsome margin Of profit that
shilling reduction will cause no con-
cern. Then, as to the effect on the
trade of the country" he says every
man OF experience must honestly know
that $. per ton rise has practically no
effect on the volume Of exports"
