WANTS PAY REDUCED.
New York Man Thinks He as Well as
Others Are Over Paid.

New York, Nov. 30.-In the belief
that he is being paid too much,
Jacinto Costa, an assistant corpora
ton counsel, wrote to Comptroller
Metz stating that his salary ought to
be reduced from 10 to 1 5 per cent. He
also suggests a general revision of
salaries downward and a reduction in
the city clerical and legal forces of
from 10 to so per cent
Costa is connected with the bureau
of street openings. He is a graduate
of the Columbia Law school. He is a
Tammany Democrat. In his letter the
attorney declares there are other en-
ployes who agree with him and are
willing to give the city their services
at reduced rates.

Error About Patents.

There is very general notion that
when the United States government
gives man a patent for an Invention
by this very act the patentee Is in
possession. of exclusive and inalien-
able rights to his invention for
term of years. Now this is the very
thing that does not necessarily exist,
and the very thing that patentees, in.
vestors and the public would like to
have established. Most patents are
exploited by others than inventors,
and the money for the purpose is
,srgely supplied by those with little
Jnowledge of the laws. 1t has hap.
pened time and time again that the
governmental patent has proved
worthless. It'll used to be that 1t was
little more than prima facie evidence to
be used in litigation. OF recent years
there has been some Improvement in
The laws and practice, but at present
there Is no governmental guaranty be-
