EXPENSIVE CITY BUILDINGS.
Cheaper to Rent Larger Quarters In a
Private Building Than 70 nun "'
Chicago City Hall.

Cheaper to Rent Larger Quarters IN
Private Building Than to Nun 'ne
Chicago City Hall.
Chicago is having a rather enlighteh-
Ing experience just now. WINE tne
old city hall is in process OK ueho'i-
ton preparatory TO the erection Vi "
new bsilding the city departments
have been obliged to seek quarters III
q modern Office building. Now, tne
owner Of an office building not only
has TO pay for maintenance ana re-
pairs and insurance and interest on III
yestment, Just as the city OF Chicago
does on all It's public buildings. but ne
has also 10 pay taxes and water rates
These are items OF considerable mo
ment are included I'm the cost OF run
ming public buildings. Ana yet Tue
Chicago departments find themselves
able TO rent commodlous quarters IN
private building with more fioor space
than in the old city hall, for less money
than it cost to run that building. Inc
item OF rent will now be less than II
cost merely to light and heat the city
hall.
The explanation Of this remarkable
condition, of course, lies in the fact that
the private owner runs his building
economically and efficiently at the low
eat practicable cost. The city. on the
other hand, is without the incentive OF
personal profit and runs its building
ON a lavish and loose scale. More men
are hired than are necessary In order
TO have a long payroll for the poll
ticians' benefit, and higher wages are
| paId than are necessary. The city S
EMPLOYEES have the loafing habit and
| feeling secure in their positions. have
no interest in saving the city's money
A comparison OF our own great pub
lie building and the cost or running
II with any Of the better class once
buildings Of the city would beyond
question show that Chicago has no mo
nopoly Of municipal extravaganza III
that direction. The worst Of 1t Is that
the difficulty seems 80 hopeless. NO
remedy is in sight unless perchance II
is the Des Moines or Galveston com
mission Minneapolis Journal

with his usual grace and Obtained
an interview.
Prof. Alkayami stated that he
was much pleased to see that the
people were paving their street,
laying sewers and putting in water
and electric light plants, He was
particularly struck with the fact
that the street making up the City
started from some place and ended
i'll a similar locality. Not having a
month or two at his dis posal and a
bi-plex autimobile SO that he could
start in the middle and travel both
ways to find the ends of the Avenue
he concludek he would save the gray
matter of his brains by advertising
for the missing ends in a matrimon-
ial news paper.
Prof. AlKayami cannot Understand
why the people do not stretch their
clothes line along the river instead Of
from the top OF the hill downward
to a grain house but thought that
possibly Fred Beckwith had to take
to the tall timber occasionly and
used 1t to pull himt elf up by.
The Prof. had no time to visit the

there are several matters for that

If Kendrick celebrates the 4th she
should start at once to prepare for
the event.
If market day is inaugurated, and
all seem in favor of it, the commerc.

We would urge that the association

FREE LUNCHERS WORK
THEIR OWN UNDOIHG

The saloon free lunch of the elabor-
ate. sit-down kind. is a thing of the
past in Honolulu. for the present, any
way.
For some time the leading Hotel
street boozariums have been in the
habit Of serving a sit-down meal with
a drink at noon. The owners protest
ed that the thing didn't pay but still
the practise dragged on.
Of late, however. the free 1unchers
got altogether too free and between
them have killed the goose that laid
their noontide meal.
Two helpings would be regularly call
ed for to go with one drink and when
the guest was politely told to regulate
his appetite by this thirst, the chances
were that he would take umbrage and
feave the place, carrying with him a,
bottle of hot sauce or some similar
trinket as a souvenir.
Then there were the chronic bread
eaters. These were a sore thorn in the
landlord S side. After cleaning up their
plates they would start in on the bread
and keep on munching while there was
a slice in sight.
The straw which broke the camel's
back, however, was the free luncher
with fine idea Of what things should
be at a fine place. He would call for
an olive with perfect sangfroid, ask
for cheese without hating an eye. was
overly supereilious about the table
linen, and on depositing his dime on
the counter would complain that it
was deuce of diningroom where
cup of coffee eonldn t be had.
He and his kind have queered the
free lunch graft in the old town.
