PASADENA, July 12.-Something is
or ten days to see what has become
of the bidders for a street railway
franchise on Lincoln avenue.
A great many property owners in the
district served by that avenue are sug-
gesting that the men who asked for
the franchise and who got "cold feet"
when told that 1t would cost them a
cool $4,000 should be called upon and
their intentions investigated.
Councilman W. r. Root, sr., for in
stance, appears to strike y popular chord
when he says that as far as he HIM
self is concerned he is willing to give
the Lincoln avenue franchise for moth
ing if he can be assured that the men
seeking it are not doing it as a mat
ter of speculation or for the purpose of
keeping out some one else in the future.
1t can be safely said that the coun-
cilmen\ generally feel much the same.
When the committee on finance, of
which Councilman Braley is chairman,
told Attorney Edwin NJ. Meserve Of Los
Angeles that there would be nothing
doing until $4,000 was ready as the price
of the franchise it was believed that if
the promoters mean business the sum
lldlllCu WOulu DS put up anu
would work no great hardship.
City Fathers Surprised
1t rather took the city fathers off
their feet when their bluff was called
by the Los Angeles men.
street railroad on Lincoln avenue
will open up new and prosperous ter
ritory and is greatly to be desired from
almost every standpoint.
IL who hI1SiOpSS and
will put in a road within a reasonable
time, say six or eight months, will
come after the franchise it may not
cost him $4,000, is the statement. But
he must be able to satisfy the council
men of his ability and of his good in
tentions along the line suggested.
OF course there are those who op-
pose the line under any and all condi-
tions, and it might not have absolutely
smooth sailing through the council it
self-and then again it might.

the desired 100000 on hand, in fact, it
does not show the lesser amount of
$50, 600, and the committeeman are in a

Population Of the District.

Pursuant to the policy of the order Of
March "a. 1905. a census of the inhabitants
of the District of Columbia was taken on
May %, 1906, by the police department,
with view to ascertaining the number OF
the population. and the sex. color and ages.
and school attendance. as a basis for vital
statistics, and for use in connection with
public school questions and otherwise.

Permanent Financing Plan Desired.
The Commissioners. in preparing their
estimates of appropriations for the District
of Columbia for the next fiscal year, fol-
lowed the policy which they adopted five
years ago of distinguishing and asking
Congress to distinguish between items for
extraordinary projects of improvement call
ing for large amounts of money and of ben
eft to posterity and items of current eX-
penditure upon the different municipal serv-
ices. They proceeded upon the principle
that the Commissioners owe 1t to Congress
and to the community to prepare budget
which shall show what ought to be done
within reason on both extraordinary and
ordinary accounts. with due regard for
economy and for all the needs of the pres
ent and the future. While the Commits
sioners are not required by law to bring
their estimates within the estimated
amount of the appropriation fund formed
by the District revenues ana the addplon
of q like amount from the United States
treasury, they have always endeavored to
keep the estimates within a reasonable re-
lation to the probable appropriation fund.
At the same time 1t has been impossible,
without either hating extraordinary prof.
ects of Improvement regarded as necessary
by Congress and the community or Grip
ping the regular municipal services, to
the appropriation fund. Here. as elsewhere.
extraordinary projects of Improvement
must be considered separately and the cost
of them treated differently froi- that Of
