Florida has been inaugurated by the
Southern. the Seaboard Air Line. and
the Atlantic Coast Line. And each sys-
TEN Is vying with the others in the
magnificence OF its cars and locomo-
tives. In the latter the Southern may
have little the best Of IT. as the new
Pacific type engines were purchased by
the railroad especially for the service.
In the matter of drawing room. club,
observation, state room. and other cars,
IL is hard to tell which line leads in
magnihcence. The Southern officers held
an impromptu reception at the depot
when the first train of the season-No.

those who inspected the new flyer were
General Passenger Agent Hardwick. As

some others. The locomotive was driven
by Engineer Harvey, and adyices re-
ceived today say the train made record
time, reaching st. Augustine yesterday
afternoon at a few minutes after 3
o'clock. There was not so much cere-
mony in despatching the train of the
Atlantic Coast Line. District Passenger
Agent A. l.. Reed and few friends met
the train, and number of prominent
guests made the trip South. District
Passenger Agent Cole and party Of
friends went South on the first train
of the season sent out by the SeabOard
Air Line. In every case the trains were
loaded to their capacity. the cold and
unpleasant weather in the North having
much to do with driving people to the

Gated since his advent into Office as one
of the governors of the District He be-
lieves the present system OF paying for
all ordinary and extraordinary projects
and improvements out of the current
revenue works a hardship and injustice
on present taxpayers. to the great adj
vantage of the taxpayers of the next
generation. He has figured out that of
the $l3.O0o.O0O which Congress has been
asked TO appropriate for the expenses of
the District for the next fiscal year.
more than 100000 is for extraordinary
projects.
The Commissioner argues that this "a,
100000 should be met by a loan from the
Federal Government, upon which the
District may pay a nominal interest
This will leave the total revenue, or
about 100000 this year, for ord nary

What will be the most important
legislation affecting the District of Co
lumbia to be requested of Congress at
its present session." This question was
asked each Of the three District Com
nissioners this morning. and each one
answered with reference to the depart
ment over which he has immediate di-
rection.
''Seventy-five dollars a month should
be the minimum salary paid policemen.
said Commissioner West THE present
pay of $50 is an outrage and it is
wonder to me that we have any good
men on the police force. There are
several items which l am going to work
hard for, but this is one that 1 am de-
termined to accomplish.
Cannot Fill Vacancies.
There are twenty-five vacancies on
the police force at present which we
cannot fill. merely because the pay is
so poor that men prefer other jobs. II
I have my way, the minimum salary
will be SIS. and Congress can pay as
much more as it wants to.
Another important measure in which
am deeply interested is that relating
to changes recommended in the method
of administering the affairs of the
Washington Asylum Hospital. The in
vestigation early last summer disclosed
a condition which must be made impos-
sible hereafter. / also want a larger
appropriation for street cleaning. Con-
gress gave Us the same amount last
year as ii did the year before, notwith-
standing the fact that the area of paved
streets had greatly increased. To main
tain the former standard of cleaning we
must have more money.
we should have a permanent avail
able fund Of at least s., 600 for cleaning
snow and ice from streets, crosswalks.
and cutters. instead of only $1,000 for
cleaning crosswalks and cutters, TO the
exclusion of the streets.
