the case to the court of claims. Gen.

the case for the mileage claimants.
The mere fact that most of the sena-

to their homes between adjournment
on March and the beginning of the
extra session on March Is does not
lessen their desire to get the mile

su,LpdiNo or CITIES, =

rs
The conference Of national interests
onethe subject Of. the building of cities,
at Washington, has taken up q big
subject, says tho r Buffalo Express.
Just what progress it can make with
IN important problem: remains to be
seen. We all realize that almost no
cities are built as they should be. Al
most no cities are built in circum.
stances that will permit them to be
built as they should be. The few ex-
.ceptions are cities like Gary. Ind,
which is built from nothing to full
grownscommunfty at. once. Most cities
are merely a matter Of growth. They
nave small beginnings, and az the
community grows it provides for its
immediate needs as they arise. The
small community canot afford to look
very far ahead. A comparatively few
years at the most is all that can be
considered. So when the community
outgrows the needs for which it pro-
vided few years before, it has sim
ply to do the work over again on a
little larger scale. If the modern city
could be planned and built at the out.
set On a scale which would probably
provide for its needs many years
ahead. then it would avoid many of
the evils from which the average city
suffers. And it could safeguard its
own rights and have the enjoyment of
many !, improved conditions which
would be very dimcult and very costly
to obtain at the present time.
