by Atlanta in her department from the

If Richmond used the method pur

AS to City Debts.
Inspection of the figures as to city
debts yields further interesting in
formation about Richmond. The city
debt of Richmond shows a far more
substantial financial condition here
than in any OF the other cities in the
table, when 1t is taken into consider
alton the tangible assets of this city.
Richmond possesses gas and water
plant, the estimated value of the two
being about $6,00O,000, and these could
be disposed of with a franchise for the
usual term granted purchasers for
at least $l0,O0O,000, which amount ex-
ceeds the city debt by $1,000, 900.

GIVES WARNING FOR FUTURE

Washington. June 25.-President
Taft this afternoon sent to the Senate
a message indicating that while he
had approved the rivers and harbors
bill he would never approve another of
it's kind He says in effect that he
signs the bill in order not to postpone
important work but that hereafter
there must be definite plan, approved
by the army engineers.
The message is a long one, and af-
ter listing the important projects in
cluded in the bill dissects the current
method of making small appropria-
tions for great many different enter
prises without provision for their COM
pletion.
The President points out that the
APPROPRIATION of comparatively small
sum for doubtful enterprise is there
after used by its advocates to force
further provision for 1t from Congress
on the ground that the investment
made is conclusive recognition OF
the wisdom of the project, and it's
continuance becomes necessity to
save money already spent" The Pres
ident argues for the adoption of a
comprehensive plan with adequate pro-
vision for completion within a reason
able time.
Submits Comment.
After announcing that he has APP
proved the bill, the President says:
while I have signed the bill. ven
ture to submit memorandum of eH-
PLANTATION and comment"
The text of the message then fol-
lows. THE bill is an important one
and contains many excellent features.
It provides for the canaliZation of
the Ohio River. to be prosecuted at
ton within twelve years; the i'm
provement Of the Mississippi River be-
tween Cairo and the Gulf of Mexico.
to be completed within twenty years !;
mouth of the Missouri and the mouth
of the Ohio River. to be completed
within twelve years; of the Missis-
sippi River between Minneapolis and

ly enlarged harbor facilities at certain
important lake ports. ircluding Ashta
bula and Lorraine, and enlarged facili.
ties for the important commerce of
the Detroit River.
Majority Are Good.
Indeed, 1t may be said that a great
majority of the projects in the bill
pended in their completion will NOT
be wasted. The chief defect in the bill
is the large number of projects ap.
propriated for, and the uneconomlcal
method of carrying on these projects
by the appropriation Of sums small in
comparison to the amounts required
to effect completion. THE figures con-
vincingly establish the fact that this
bill makes inadequate provision for
the many projects, The total OF the
s52. 100000, Is not uunduly large, but
the policy of small appropriations
with great many different enter-
prises, without provision for their
completion, Is unwise."

recommended that the people settle
down and in an easy fashion enjoy the
messages brought to us.
