NEEDLESS PRIVATE sECRETARYsHIPs.
General Charles H. T. Coils on Saturday sent to
Mayor Low the following letter
New-York, April r. 1902.
Hon. Seth Low chairman Board Of Estimate; etc
NY Dear Sir: During the recent municipal cam
paign item of extravaganza complained OF was
the employment of private secretaries by heads OF
departments. which offices were created pY me
last administration the first time in the history
OF the city and filled by fayorttes who had no
civil service qualifications and who drew large
salaries without rendering any adequate service
Some of these as follows:
Salary.
the Department OF iiighways 800
In Department Of Sewers n.--io
In Department OF Bridges. Z,'o
In Department OF Water supply ---..-.--.- -INo
In the Department OF Building Lighting. etc.. 1000
AS taxpayer in the interest of economy, and
speaking from knowledge and experience. / ask
that your board will at once abolish these sinecures.
All the departments were formerly administered
by the Commissioner of Public Works. who had no
private secretary but able conduct his office
with two typewriters and clerical force costing
annually in the Borough of Manhattan s61I40, as
against s14l. $50 under the last administration.
The employment of unneeded private secretaries
regardless of Civil Service rules must inevitably
lead to nepotism and favoritsm Yours very truly.

he FEARED he HAD LOST

When WI Ting Fang, the famous Chin
csc Minister to Washington, irritable and
somewhat forgetful from a severe cold,
missed one day from the front of his cap the
immense diamond he always wears there,
he was dreadfully frightened. A friend
pointed out that the statesman had mad
vertently donned his turban wrong side
before, and that the diamond was safe in
the rear. Had WI Ting Fang been wear
ing Benson's Porous Plaster on his chest
or back to cure his cold, he never would
have doubted its location. He would have
felt it doing its work, and max
ing flexible the torpid muscles, extracting
the pain and soreness, promoting the free
circulation Of the blood, stimulating the
skin and lungs to proper action, and so
dissoloimg and banishing the malady. Thus
we perceive, beloved friends, that

TRYING THE CONTRACT SYSTEM.

TRYING THE CONTRACT SYSTEM.
Some road contractors who had not
given bonds have now done SO, and
some roads not previously let are under
contract, SO it would seem we are now
in fair c0ndit ion to test the plan
adopted last fall. In the opinion of
the writer it depends upon the energy
displayed by the one who has the ovel-
sight Of the contractors. He ought to
insist upon the fultillment Of the con-
tracts during the year, not at the time
OF inspection only.
