municipal Finances.

-AuhACApAA FINANCES.
Investigation Of finances is one Of the
standing problems OF municipal govern
ment. The commissioners OF accounts in
New York City areCunder control OF the
same influences that control the city
government itself. so that their work Is
in the nature Of passing upon ones own
accounts. The volunteer bureau Of mu-
.nicipal research is trying to supplement
that performance. In Boston there is a
commission appointed By the governor.
A State law requires a uniform system
Of municipal accounting and regular re-
ports by city officials TO a State bureau.
The commission in Boston has power 20
investigate all revenues and expenditures
OF departments. including salaries and
contracts. II has no direct power 10 in
terfere with the city administration. but
its benefits are expected TO follow the
publicity OF its reports. It Is 10 serve as
the al-seeing eye Of the citizens upon
their municipal affairs. Now a similar
commission is 70 be appointed IN Chicago
by the mayor, a method that seems likely
10 have ineffective results. But there IS
a strong appeal for the appointment of
citizens OF the highest reputation for in
tegrity and independence.

rat is the worst mammal pest in the

to the department. the brown rat was
first seen in this country In f7T5 and
has increased in numbers ANA extended

Of cats as mousers, the report says:
However valuable cats may be as
mousers. few of them learn to catch
rats The ordinary house cat is too
wei fed and consequently too lazy to
undertake the capture OF an animal as
formidable as the brown rat. Birds
and mice are more To its liking Al

that the ferrets. IL lost. may adapt
themselves to wild conditions and be-
come a pest by preying upon poultry
and birds.
The most interesting and amusing
part of this report, however. Is the
recommendation for the organization
Of rat clubs and other societies for
systematic warfare against rats. 1t
says:
TT. necessity of corporation and
organization in rat destruction should

an entire township or county unite in
efforts To get rid OF rats, lasting results

year To year, such organized efforts
are very effective. Cooperative ef-
forts to destroy rats have taken yari-
Gus forms In different localities. In
