WHY CITY SHUTS PURSE
4Uetz Explains Reasons for Recent
Retrenchment ActiOn.

Controller Metz said yesterday that the shut
down on expenditure by the Board of Estimate
at its meeting Friday was not so bad as
some persons imagined.
Now that the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment has determined for a time at least to
wise the further assumption of contract fablh-
ties to be paid for out. of corporate stock au-
thorizations already approved by that body, the
public should know that this action in no waE
affects the contracts for public Improvements
already executed by the departments and regis
tered by the Controller said Mr. Metz. Neither
is the action of the Board of Estimate and Ap-
portionment intended to stop the work of orisi-
nal street improvements already Authorized, the
cost Of which is to be met from the sale of as
sessment bonds for which the property
benefited is to reimburse the city in assessments
therefor.
Il have directed that a special examination of
the street improvement fund be made to deter
mine just what its status is. 1t may be inter-
esting to determine just how much of the as
sessments levied in recent years for street i'm
provements has been paid, how much cancelled
by reason of illegal evies and for ether causes
When this statement is ready the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment will be in a posi-
tion to deal nteigently with the question as to
whether any more and what street improve
ments may be undertaken.
The demand for public improvements Of all
kinds has come thick and fast upon the debt
making powers of the city ever since Consolida
ton The city is growing, and to meet its in
creased needs what has been fairly equivalent
to rebuilding the city has been necessary. The
increase in the net funded debt between Decem-
ber 81 1897, the day before consolidation. and
December 81, 1906, s314.945,691, or 146 per
cent in nine years. Taxpayers should not forget
mean while, that this increase in city debt. due
TO the demand for more public improvements,
carried with it its burden in yearly taxes In
1899 the amount included in the budget for in
terest and redemption of city debt was s23.-
476,S40 0S. In 1908 it is s40,454,772 S6 or almost
one-third of the entire budget.
authorizations of corporate stock, bonds, etc,
do not affect the constitutional debt limit. but
the issues of bonds and stock do. Therefore it
is proper that the authorities should exercise
the utmost caution as to the character of any
further obligations to be assumed by the city.
Nothing has been stopped or held up. The
Board of Estimate and Apportionment merely
requires an opportunity of judging whether the
undertaking of any further proposed public I'M
provement IS warranted at this time.

The Money Mania

Some time ago a number
OF the business men OF Ana
darko, ia II meeting, were
requested to answer the
three following questions:
1) What, in your opin-
ion, is the chief evil Of the
day.
(2) What is the remedy
therefor.
(3) What would you do ii
you were a preacher OF the
gospel.
OF the bakers dozen oil re-
plies to the first question,
some eight or ten We're, in
substance, the money -gett-
ing madness. This general
opinion was not academic
because the men were busi-
ness men themselves, engag-
ed in the effort to make
money.
We greatly question, how
ever, that men generally
look upon money.getting as
the chief business OF life.
While we all work to that
end, we must remember that
the age we live in is n com.
mercial age, where the actiy-
itieS OF mankind have prac-
tically no other field to
operate in. The Dark Ages,
comprised % military era,
when men won distinction in
knightly encounters. Money
getting was looked down up

on by the soldier captains OF
those ages pretty much as
our captains of finance look
down today upon the win
ners in battles OF brute
strength.
The minister's OF religion in
medieval times did not at
tack the warlike spirit OF the
day, instead, they strove to
direct ii to their own ends.
y true knight must war
worthily for worthy pur-
poses, and as nightly as he
could.
SO, we think that today
the efforts OF the church
should be put forth to direct
the commercial spirit, as at
tacks upon business are as
useless now as attacks upon
militarism would have been
"a thousand years ago. Ii
our religion can constrain
us TO get money worthily
for worthy purposes, as
formerly it constrained men
to make war, We think that
it will have fulfilled its pur-
pose la that linz.
