4 CASE OF CITY WASTE.

4 typical illustration of the waste
fulness Of city government which Mayor
Gaynor may be expected to correct is
found in the story told III yesterdays
Tribune of the enormous increase in the
price paid for steel inspection on city
work in the last few years. The city is
paying fully twice what any private
builder would pay for the same work.
The contract for the new municipal
building provides for the employment
of an inspector for all steel to be used
in the structure at the rate of 81: u
ton. The price paid by the Fuller Con-
struction Company for shop and mill
inspection of the steel used in the great
Whitehall office building was only so
cents ton, and if an additional charge
was made for erection inspection it did
not amount to more than 10 cents a ton,
so at the least the city is paying double
the market rate. Inspection of the Wal
dorf-Astoria steel work cost cnly 81
cents ton. A few years ago a contract
for inspection of the steel to be used
in the superstructure Of the greensboro
Bridge was made, after competition at
to ceHlS 1t iUil LOT Hill anu SHOP lnSDeC-
tion. Similar work was done on the
Williamsburg Bridge for Is cents ton
Yet the Bridge Department has waste
fully increased the price for Manhattan
Bridge inspection to 81 20 ton, and,
having charge of the new. municipal
building, is responsible for the same
wasteful proceeding there --~.,
The cost of inspection is; indeed, one
of the minor items in the expense of
city building. but waste of 100 per
cent there suggests a similar looseness
of method elsewhere. In view of the
Bridge Departments record for failure
to protect the interests of the taxpay-
ers in the last four wears it is difficult
tc attribute its peculiar methods in the
selection of inspectors and in fixing their
compensation TO a single hearted deter
mination to see that nobody by any
chance gets paid for more steel than he
puts in or ought to put in to public
work.
New-York tribune., 1910-01-16
WINTER STORMS.

The experts of the national Weather
Bureau seem to have known what they
were talking about when, after the
heavy snowfall Oh Christmas Day. ac-
companied by destructive gale, they
announced that a stormy winter was ut
hand. How yalua bic the warning proved
is shown by the energy and thorough
ness of the preparations made for the
second severe visitation of the season.
In the thirty-siX hours beginning with
IL p. m. last Thursday fifteen or six
teen inches of snow fell in the streets
oe the metropolis-more than came
three weeks ago-and yet the surface
car tracks were kept so clear that plac-
tiCally 10 interruption of traffic oc-
Cured. Especial commendation is due
to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
for its forethought in suggesting by tele-
phone that houses which employed large
numbers of girls should facilitate an
early departure for home. Street Com
missioner Edwards also rose to the
emergency, in spite of the disadvantages
of strike, but even he might not have
acquitted himself SO well had he not
kept in mind the forecast of Professor
Moore
New York City had last week a fresh
illustration of the effect Of slight devi-
alton from the normal path of storms
which cross the continent from west to
east. When approaching the Atlantic
the centres of the majority of these
disturbances keep to the north of the
metropolis. The wind in such cases
shifts from east TO south, with slight
rise in temperature, and most, if not all,
of the precipitation comes in the form
of rain. On this last occasion the route
followed extended from Central Ohio
TO Atlantic City. The wind went around
from northeast to northwest, the mer-
curry stayed just below the freezing
point, and such moisture In the atmo-
sphere as was condensed fell In the
form of snow.
The Atlantic has also been the scene
of particularly tempestuous weather for
several days. On her next previous
westward voyage the st. Louis made
the run from Southampton in almost
exactly seven days. her speed practically
equauing that of summer. So fierce
were the gales she encountered on her
last trip that she needed eight aud one
half lays to reach the Hook, and for
a part OF the time travelled at the rate
of only ten knots! The colossal Lusita-
MIA experienced a similar delay from a
similar. cause, spf even suffered damage
from a tidal ave Of extraordinary pro-
portion. Ii is probable that the storm
or storms which buffeted these two
iiners were the same which hindered
the progress of the Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria, OF the Hamburg-American
Line, on her last eastward run. When
