Bothering tho Aldermen.

Comptroller METZ has o curiouBly
warped and incorrect conception OF the
duties Of the Aldermen. He ID vsxed
because they have ignored tho charter
and neglected to confirm the tax rolls.
Their inaction will cause annoyance and
possibly loss TO many citizens, 1t ID true,
but that IL a matter Of small moment.
Aldermen cannot be expected to waste
their time yer such small things a the
details Of municipal administration; and
II these arc neglected, It must be refnem-
bered that the really pressing things
receive immediate attention.
This year the Aldermen had their pay
doubled, expressed sympathy with the
victims OF massacres In Russia, told the
District Attorney how to attend to hts
business, condemned a municipal depart
ment by adopting q report they never
had read, granted vacations TO various
city employees, and performed numerous
other acts of equal importance and pro-
priety. Engaged In such high matters,
they naturally had scant time for the
tircsome and humdrum dutios that fall
to their lot through the prosaio enact
ments OF the Legislature.
The Aldermen do their best. World
politics receives their first attention.
National questions require much of their
time. State problems must be settled
early. The activities Of administrative
officers demand not q little guiding and
direction. Mere affairs Of city govern
ment must wait their turn. The con-
frmation of the tax rolls is Of interest and
moment only to New York city and Ito
taxpayers. These are Of the smallest
consequence to the Aldermen, whose
souls are on q higher, nobler plane.

On Sunday night. while DR.. StarlSe and the

be no more births before the ship dOcked. The
words were hardly uttered when stewardess

other birth was imminent.
This time it in the first cabin and Mrs.
Friedenberg added the sixth baby 70 the record

pier. His chagrin was turned into joy when
he boarded the ship and found another heir.
