A LACK OF SAND.

There are within easy reach of this city I'M
measured millions of tons Of sand. 1t is pure,
clean, white beach sand, aseptic and undefiling.
1t may be had practically for the taking and no
matter how much is taken the supply is always
promptly renewed to meet the demand You
can no more exhaust the store of sand than you
can pump the ocean dry.
There are within this city hundreds of miles of
street and sidewalk that are often uncOmfort-
ably and even dangerously slippery. Some
streets are slippery to horses feet because the
hard asphalt used for paving has become pol
shed by much traffic until it is almost as smooth
and CLASSY as ice Some are slippery because
they are drenched instead Of simply sprinkled
by the watering carts. All are at times most
dangerously slippery, as are the sidewalks and
stoops to pedestrians, because the vagaries OF
our climate coat them with ice.
There is the sand. Here are the CLASSY
streets. Why not put the two together! There
is nothing else good as sand for slippery
streets 1t is far more effective than anything
else. and it is entirely free from the practical
objections to sawdust the hygienic objections
to salt and the objections on the score of clean
illness to ashes. They use it in Paris. Far as
that city is from the ocean beach, its asphalted
streets are daily strewn with fresh, clean sand.
The result is that horses do not slip there as
they do here If we do not adopt that plan and
use IT the year around, certainly we might use
il. publicly and privately, at such time as we
have seen in the last few days, when the streets
were things of peril to both man and beast.

system as Civil Service reformers have long
desired to have In the United States. There
is, then, just one detail of the "anti-imperial-

and, unlike all the rest it may be fulfilled. That
is that the sort of Civil Service we give the

indeed, do so, and we know of no friend of the

given to their outlying dependencies.

The Corporation Counsel and the Controller
declare with emphasis that all the streetcar
companies, overhead on the level must pay
the legal tax on each and every car which they
using. AS TO the clear requirements of the
law he who may read and he who reads

the enforcement of the statute which levies a
sum for the running of such vehicles and local
organizations sadly in arrears. 1t is right
to bring them to book. They should have been
called to account long ago.
