STEPS PROGRESS OF THE NEW ST. LOUIS Made AT THE CITY HAIL.
MAYOR CONSIDERS
TAX ON PRIVILEGES.
Believes That the City Could OBJ
tain $780, 900 for Utilization
of Public Space.

Mayor Wells devoted several hours yes
proposition to demand from private con-
Germs compensation for special privileges
obtained from the city, such as encroach-
ments upon sidewalks. streets, alleys and
public places. President Phillips of the
Board OF Public improvements. and Comp
troiler Player took part in the consultation.
A statement from Street Commissioner
Varrelmann. prepared by inspectors, at
Mayor Weiss request. shows that there
are in st. Louis COCO square feet of ship
ping platforms and 1900 linear feet Of
switch tracks on sidewalks, streets and al
leys. This space is occupied by virtue Of
peunits issued from the Mayors Office be-
fore Mayor Wells assumed direction of mu-
nicipal affairs, and the statement does not
indicate the space occupied by authority OF
the Municipal Assembly.
I'm Eay opinion Mayor Wells stated,
'the city could procure a revenue Of at
tion for the privileges already utilized and
!. as contained IN Mr.. Varrelmanns abstract.
The income would be much larger after a
practicable compensation system would be
in operation. Such a system is necessary
In order to impose restrictions and to pre-
vent. the privileges from becoming nui-
sances. as well as to enable the city to
acquire revenue to which It 10 properly en-

llegee. This commission would fix the
compensation In each case. and no privileges
would be granted unless the grantees
should give bond and agree to pay the city
certain yearly rental Tor the space.

Hayt, and the probability Is that the Gu
ban nag will soon be raised over the Gem
OF the Antilles"
There are eight European Colonial Coy
ernments in the small groupe of Islands
composing the lesser Antilles. Each of these
groups, with the AVERAGE area OF an Ameri-
can county, has an administrative estab-
lishment as that of an American State, and
each official draws q salary from two to five
times as great as that paid the average
American public servant.
The salaries Of the Governors Of the four
British colonies in the lesser Antilles. which
have an aggregate population Of about
equal that OF Alabama, amount to $65 900, or
as much as the salaries paid to, seventeen
wealth Of all the lesser Antilles are not
sufficient to support more than one email
and efficient administrative force. They
are taxed to support eight Governments.
Tor places must be made for political ia
vorttes and younger sons who cannot be
cared for In their native lands.
A great curse of these colonies is the
absentee ownership Of land. The vast black
population OF nearly all the islands Is
forced to remain idle in the towns because
most Of the land. often uncultivated and
neglected. is tied up in the estates Of for
etgn holders.
