The Call of even date Is both
suggestive and timely, although 1
do not think you have given due
Importance to the very effective
tab kept by the Auditor on all If
censc affairs.
The system of "checks and bal
ances" by one department on the
other cOmmends itself to every
wise student of municipal affairs.
There Is no wiser provision In
the charter than the one which
placed the collection of licenses
in the hands of the Tax Collector.
An equally wise prOvision-one
which in principle at least
should be extended to all licenses
lis the one which governs the is
suance of same to liquor and junk
dealers. The Police Commission
ers grant the permits and the Tax
Collector issues licenses and coll
1ects for same, thus introducing
that system of checks and bal
ances SO fundamentally recOg-
nized in the constitution of the
United States. If either the Tax
Collector or police both granted
permits and also collected saloon
licenses the opportunities for cor
ruption would be almost unlim-
tied. Similar provisions should
safeguard the issuance of ali IL
censes. Personally 1 would glad
Iy welcome any legislation TINT
would accomplish such n result.
No provision would be too string
ent to govern the conduct of my
Office. Yours respectfully,

THE CUMBERLAND ROAD-A. s..
City. The Cumberland or National
road was originally projected from
Cumberland. Md, to the Ohio River, but
ultimately carried as far as Illinois
The first act in regard to it was passed
by Congress March 29. 1906. 1t appro-
priated $4,000 for the expenses of
three commissioners to be appointed
by the President, for the purpose OF
laying out the road. There was much
opposition to every successive bill ap-
propriating money for the road. on the
ground of the unconstitutionality of
any act of Congress providing for in
ternal Improvements. On this ground
President Monroe vetoed the bill of
May, 1922, providing for its repair.
Sixty bills in all appropriating money
for the establishment, extension and
repair of the road were passed. the last
being that of May %. 1898. The rise
of railroads put a stop to it's further
extension. The total amount appro-
prfated was S6,821,246.
