''What-ho" cried Jim. Lets go"
Their destination reached, they
climbed to the top of the chimney, and
soon masses of brick work were falling

disturbed by the noise, and started to
make a fuss.

National Board of Public Works.

The United States, through the
war department, is carrying on ex-
tensive river and harbor improvements
calculated to better the conditions
under which interstate and interna-
tional trade is conducted. Many mil
lions have been expended through this
agency and many more millions will be
distributed in the same manner in the
future, The demand for further i'm
provements of this nature has be-
come SO insistent that they cannot be
ignored. Within a short time we will
commit ourselves to some definite
policy or system of waterways which
will be of such magnitude that some
financial policy which makes due pro-
vision for future needs, will be pro-
vided. President Taft has already in
timated that any extensive policy of
deeper waterways will be accompanied
by a bond issue calculated to provide
the funds therefor.
While this whole project is still in
the formative stage and on the eve OF
the opening of the session of Congress
during which action of some sort will
doubtless be taken, there springs up a
demand that all this work be taken
from the war department and be
turned over to National Department
Of Pablo Works. The argument ad-
vanced is that the engineers of the war
department are rot numerically strong
enough to carry on the work at present
outlined, let alone the prosecution of a
work of the great magnitude proposed;
that if the work is continued in the
hands of the war department younger
and inexperienced engineers will be as
signed important and responsible
places therein and that the only way
to prevent disaster and extravaganza
is to transfer the entire project to a
new department created for the pur-
pose.
1t is doubtful if such a department
is created. though the suggestion has
some merit. The argument would APP
peal to the people more if it We're not
based upon a thinly yelled attack on
the war departments exceedingly efTi-
Gent corps of engineers. They have
done the work assigned to them expe-
ditiously and well. If they have not
done more it is because the appropria-
tons have been insufficient or they
have not had sufficient latitude in the
field. The proposition is strong enough
to stand on it's own legs and needs no
ether foundation. Whether the in
creased cost would be warranted by
the advantages is a matter that could
be determined only after a careful in
vestigation.
