INCIDENTAL WORK.

The general city budget includes than six
hundred thousand dollars for additions, alterations
and repairs to public buildings. This amount, while
seemingly large, will go far toward finishing
urgent Improvements. II will merely provide for
necessary incidental work, as to meet pressing
wants. The use to which the funds will be put and
the results TO be attained offer convincing argument
in behalf of the greater and urgent perma
nent improvements projected.
About $4,000 will be expended for completing the
City Hail. about 100000 for completing the new City
Hospital. about 100000 for insane-ward addition
10 the Poorhousc, about $4,000 for purchasing the
emergency hospital about sSS000 for two downtown
enginehouses and about $4,000 for interior repairs to
the Courthouse The appropriation bill contains items
for other repairs. but these mentioned are the most
important.
Here is an investment of more than 1923 600 There
will be something to show for every dollar disbursed
The improvements strictly of permanent char
acter. They will be made with funds from the gen.
eral revenue mostly with funds realized by judcous
economy. After the work is done, the city officials
can claim and demonstrate that the money has been
used to good purpose. for the investment will show in
new buildings That the money is used properly is
clear. without illustration.
1t has been many years since city administration
in ST Louis has had funds for permanent public work.
Heretofore the revenue has disappeared with nothing
TO show for it. The city has been impoverished year
after year. while politicians contractors and friends
of politicians have thrved at the taxpayers expense
At present the ordinary income is larger owing the
diligence and fathfuness of officials in enforcing the
law without favoritism and it is invested in perma-
rent improvements instead of being wasted in salaries
ard RENTS The appropriation of more than S6u0-
600 for permanent public Improvements proof that
this administration is doing its duty This furnishes
fer qualification.
But there is another point that must be equally
plain TO all citizens This is that the investment of
SG0o0o for Improvements which will be serviceable
for many years will permit of completion of only a
relatively small part of the permanent work that is
imperative it emphasizes the need for larger invest
ments. that the main Improvements in contempla-

WIRE COMMITS

When it is borne in mind that the telephone, tele-
graph. light and power companies have $4,000 poles
in streets alleys and public places carrying 900 miles
of line the construction of additional underground
conduits appears to be than desirability The
growth of the city and the increase the pole-line
mileage due to the prosperity of these companies,
make this problem one of deep concern.
There is actual necessity for the extension of the
boundaries of the subway district. Dead wires can
scarcely be tolerated overhead for many reasons
the least of which is their proximity hgh-tension
wires.
The subject cannot be dismissed. either favoraby
or unfavoraby, without careful investigation and
sideraton. for it embraces both legal and technical
points. That the burial of wires and cables in the
present subway district and the extension of the
listing boundaries to take in the territory that
is married by networks of wires urgently needed
could hardly be refuted. The problem is how best to
meet conditions, present and prospective
Should the city be able to construct the conduits
and maintain them at advantage this would furnish
opportunity for municipal enterprise. But it seems
to be enterprise from which the city could derive
large material benefit Moreover. public funds if
available could be devoted to better use in some i'm
provement or project that would serve the whole pub
lie. Furthermore the city derive through fran
chise properly made all the benefits that could get
through municipal ownership. and without sacrifice.
The latter argument is apparently true. for the
son that the city would receive annual compensation
for of the space under the and would have
the right to put municipal wires and cables in the
condus. At least these conditions should be inserted
in any and every franchise which may be granted
Any action taken should cover the following points:
