Bufalo's Mayor-Elect is in
This City.
SOME VIEWS GIVEN
BELIEVES In NATIONAL sUPERvI-
SION OF RAILROADS.
Is Studying the Subject of Municipal
Government-Hopes to Get Some
New Ideas
SOME VIEWS GIVEN

The mayor-elect of Buffalo, Mr. J. N.
Adam, reached Washington last night on
tour of municipal inspection before taxi
ing his seat as the executive of the big
New York municipality.
Mr.. Adam is an interesting personality. as
he represents the municipal reform move
ment and was elected in Buffalo as an in
dependent democrat, beating the machine
by about 10000 in a city that registers 10,
600 more republicans than it does demo-
cratic voters. The mayor-elect is a big
business man and the third largest taxpayer
in Buffalo. SO that he has some interest in
seeing that the city has an administration
that will not waste the money. He ought
to have an economical streak in his COM
position by heredity too, as he is a Scotch
man by birth. He says of himself that he
is sixty-two by transa tlantic reckoning but
that he is really only thirty-four. having
been born again and made a fresh start
when lie began business in this country
Mr. Adam. besides visiting Washington
where he will spend several days will take
in Boston, Pittsburg, Cleveland and Chi
cago before returning to Buffalo. He says
that he is Interested in municipal manage
ment of all sorts, the street lighting, street
cleaning, sewerage and water supply and
management of accounts He has the curl
Gus idea that public office is not a private
snap and that a city government needs a
business administration as much as does a
corporation, and that the more economical
and honest it is the better.
He has not yet made any plans as to his
stay in Washington. He hopes to call on
the District Commissioners, possibly on the
President, and see how Washington mu-
niclpal affairs are managed. But none of
the details of these plans is yet worked
out,
