Seventy Wagons in Use-FOur More

ployed Before.

The Washington Fertilizer Company

moval Of garbage from the houses Of
the city. has assured the District au-
thoritles that on Monday the garbage
service viii be entirely satisfactory.
There are now seventy wagons in use
for the removal Of the refuse. four
more than were employed at any time

ice has been made as a result OF the
communications sent 10 the company
by District Commissioner mcfarland.
Ten days ago Commissioner West took
steps that resulted IN a temporary i'm
provement in the service. The lapse
an efficiency was then taken up by Mr..
Mcfarland. who learned that there
were sixty complaints about the non
removal Of garbage on Friday and sew

Praise for Craig.

TOO much praise for all the prepare
tory work cannot be given TO Prof. A. L.
Craig. of the Armstrong Normal Train
ing School. Mr.. Craig, who is a member
OF the committee, saw the need of some
one TO supervise the clearing, level.ng and
equipping Of grounds. for 1t was evident
that the regular supervisor could not
prepare the grounds and train volun-
teers, and without waiting for the com
mittee TO act, volunteered to take up
this work and carry 1t through TO com
pletion. The report IS now made by
Mr.. Craig that all plans have been ex-
ecuted and that eleven grounds are
ready for full use.

VIEWS OF A CHARITY OFFICER

In a general discussion OF public play
grounds in Washington and what is be-
ing done upon them, an official OF the
Associated Charities said today:
Early this summer five vacant lots
with apparatus for having a good
time. varying in quantity and
quality according to the location
of the ground. might be seen in
location Of the ground might be seen in
the different sections Of the city. Lots
had been loaned temporarily for play
grounds and improvements had been
made upon them, but Fairgrounds of the
ideal kind had not been realized.
In the spring the playground com
mittee assembled in the general Office
OF the Associated Charities to make
plans for immediate work. So active
was this committee that scarcely a
month passed before arrangements We're
made 10 clear ten or twelve lots, erect
such apparatus as might be IN keeping
with the modest hopes of those who
knew the work. and employ a supervisor
who should prepare grounds anew and
supervise volunteer teachers and helpers
In all parts OF the city.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. cit is
generally conceded that the

will be constructed from Pensa-

and Grenada to Memphis. This
will be the most direct route,
and will traverse a very fertile
resourceful territory.

road go by his city. but the sur
vey, of course, will finally settle
the matter. A preliminary sur
yey is now being made.
The Jackson and Colum bia and
the Vicksburg and Birmingham
surveys are now being made.
They cross the Mobile. Jackson
and Kansas City Railway at this
place.
Just why a railroad would
want 10 veer out of its natural
course to go via Philadelphia,

those unaccountable things

On every hand we find indica-
tons of the rapid growth Of Co
lumbus, and additional evidence
of her growth and prosperity is
found in the increased receipts
of the water department for the
month of November, 1904 which
show an increase of nearly one
third over receipts for the same
period last year. 1t is well known
that the waterworkS have never
been a source of revenue to the
city, and the water and sewerage
account still shows a deficit of
several thousand dollars. It must
be taken into consideration,
however, that the expense of lay
ing additional mains. purchasing
new machinery and for every
thing connected with the water
system is charged to this ac-
count. During the past year a
new pump has been purchased
at an expenditure of about S., 900
and several extentions have been
made in the mains. It will be
seen, therefore, that the deficit is
not hard to account for. The
mem bers of the council are by
no means satisfied though. and
will continue their effort to not
only make the system self sus-
tanning but to make it a source of
revenue to the city.

There seems TO be urgent need
for com plete revision o. the
city charter. The present char
ter was adopted many years ago,
and since its adoption it has been
the custom of the council TO pass
different laws and ordinances
there are now quite a large mum
Der of them that are not in
printed form. the minute book of
the secretary being the only
tangible evidence of their adop-
ton. An inst lance of the incOm
pleteness of the document was
recently shown when the coun-
Gil wanted to take steps to estab
lish municipal street sprink-
ling department. 1t was found
that there was no provision made
for such a department ia the
charter, and before it could be
established a special ordinance
had to be enacted. Another I'M
satisfactory feature Of the char
ter is that it limits the sentence
imposed by the mayor upon law
breakers who are convicted in
his court to thirty days, and un-
der its provisions each prisoner
is entitled to a credit Of two days
for every day that he may work.
Thus it will be seen that a pris-
oner receiving a thirty day sen
lance would really have to work
on the streets only fifteen days.
The present charter contains
many other glazing inaccuracies
and omissions, and it seems that
its com plete revision is an abso-
lutte necessity.

The city council atits meeting
last Thursday night decided to
increase the salary of Prof. Joe
Cook, uperintendent of the
public schools. from 1.5O0O 90 to
81. 10000 per annum, said in
crease to take effect January
first, next. This is quite a com pill
ment to Prof. Cook and is one
that is well deserved. for he is a
man who is devoted to his work
and has done much to maintain
the high standard which for years
past has characterized our public
school system. The board also
paid well deserved tribute to
Prof. Barrow in ordering a page
in the minute book properly in
scribed and dedicated to his
memory. Prof. Barrow was for
many years superintendent of
the city schools, and a more eff
Gent worker or a truer, nobler
man never lived.

The action of the Railroad
Com N ission in securing from
the railroads an agreement to
have an adjusted schedule of To-
cal rates in Mississippi submit
ted for approval at their next
meeting, is received with ap-
prOval everywhere. The matter
was taken up by the factories of
Corinth and If that city secures
readjustment of her rate on
manufactured product to Miss
issippi points, Colu bus will do
likewise. This city has long
suffered from this handicap and
we would welcome anything
which promises relief. The Cor
inth victory is personally due to
