Some taxpayers still associate the
Erie canal with a mule. These erring
citizens forget the steam consort, says
Leslle's Weekly. 1t wasn by steam
consort standard, upon which the
people OF New York State two years
ago based their vote sanctioning the
expenditure OF Sl01 10000 for an I'm
proved Erie canal, a practically new
canal, known officially as the Erie 100
Ton Barge canal.
What does Sl0i, 100000 meanf II
means that the new Erie canal Is to
be the most costly artificial waterway
In the world. II means that the Erie
canal Is to cost Si,000,000 more than
the one at Suez, 1t means that the
Erie canal is TO cost twenty-five times
as much as the Soo--the greatest ship
canal on earth in point of tonnage. 1t
means hat the Erie canal Is to cost
more than the Manchester ship canal,
which cost tritle Of S75,000,00o. 1t
means that the Erie canal is to cost
Barge canal is to cost even more than
the worlds most colossal engineering
feat--the Panama canal. It means
that s52,0000O0 spent in the past and
$0,OO0,000 spent in the last decade
must be added to the $101 100000, aud
hence, that the new Erie canal, when
finished In 1918, will have cost old
and new, matter of $161, 100000, or
some 100000 more than the esti-
mate of the total cost OF building I'm

II recommend the passage OF an
ordinance investing the inspectors
with police powers ana including them
in the list Of city employees eligible to
free passage on the lines Of the street
railway. These men are subject to call
at all hours Of the day or night ana
their duties frequently require them
to visit the extreme enc OF the subur-
ban sections OF the city.
Il respectfully recommend to your
consideration the necessity OF an
amendment to the city charter which

Physician. the latter officer to act only
in an advisory capacity to this depart
ment.
Il would also respectfully recon-.
mend that the ONCE Of City Physician
be abolished and the affairs OF that de-
partment be thereafter in charge of Q
Health Officer. which shall be created
for that purpose. The Health Omcer
would exercise general supervision
over meat and milk inspectors, attend
charity calls and perform all duties
now attended to the office OF City
Physician. but would not assume re-
sponsibility for the proper execution
OF the duties Of sanitary inspectors, or
for the general work OF the Sanitary
Department. This has not actually been
done in the past and cannot be done in
the future, for the reason that the
work is largely performed by another,
and the city physician. owing to the
numerous demands upon his attention,
is prevented from devoting any con-
siderable portion of his time to keep
ing In close touch with the affairs OF
the Sanitary Department.
Il would also recommend the ap-
pointment Of a City Bacteriologist and
Of an inspector whose duties should
be to examine school children for In
fictitious and contagious diseases, with
especial regard for tuberculosis. At
present there exists no adequate pre-
cautions against the promiscuous
mingling with other pupils of school
