AN UNJUST CHARGE AGAINST
CITY.

The Water supply company has pre-
scented to the city council a bin for
s5s6.s4. FOR water supplied TO tho
Humane society fountain 1T Central

the fountain IN May, 1908. 60 the first

therefore does not come under the
company's contract with the city 10

purposes II may be true. II the matt

Of its bin. Hut IN forcing payment
Of a bill or this kind the company il
taking a mighty poor way toward at-
tanning the good opinion Of the people
Of Albuquerque.
When his fountain was Installed
through the Humane society it was
with tho understanding. ne matter
what the legal construction may be.
that Il became the property Of the
city. TO be operated for the public
benefit The city paid a considerable
portion Of the expense Of installation
..sss therefore acquired At least d part
interest In Il. II is doubtful II the
fountain would ever have been in
stalled had It not been understood
that II would be supplied with water
free Of charge, as is done for other
city institutions.
The Water company has haa more
or less difficulty with the present city
administration. The administration
has been deliberately and openly am
tagonistic 20 the company ana the
company has, apparently responded
with equal antngonism to tho admin
istrntion, 20 The serious dctriment OIL

work. should not feel overly cordial
toward the city government II isl

no antagonism, the company would
not have attempted 20 enforce pay
ment Of a hil OF this kind The nttl
tudo Of the city administration. how
ever, Is no fault OF the public. Thoi
public Is very little Interested In thol
quarrel. so long as Il gets the service
1t requires. and the water company
should be bis enough and broad
enough. Il should have sufficient re-
gard for It's own interests. and as 4
public service corporation FOR the pub
lie interest TO act generously ia q matt
ter OF this nature, regardless OF It's
legal rights ia the premises.
Taking for granted that the come
pany's claim that IL has "a lcsai right
to collect this bill, Is wen founded. the
city council should refuse TO pay the
bin and If the water company IS un-
wise enough "a press tho matter. the
council should force the company to-
prove It's claim In court.

COMPARATIVELY GOOD.

While commercial business IN AL
buquerquo at the present time could
moi probably be quoted higher than
flair TO middling," 1t is nevertheless
true that the general business and in
dustrial situation Is comparatively
good-that Is. in comparing condi-
tions, commercial and Industrial. as
they exist here, with the same condi-
tions to be found in nearly an other
parts OF The country. we find this sec
ton fairly ranks above the average.
Experience has taught the older
business men of the United states that
when the big business train Of this big
country to a sudden stop, as
It did IN the ran Of 1907. there is no
such thing as putting it under full
Roadway again in a day or two. 1t is
a slow process. and one that a not
re hurried. The country is cover
ing more rapidly from the late crash
than IL ever recovered from any other
in It's history, n It can not be long
before business viii be rushing ION
time again. Meanwhile, we have rea- |
son TO congratulate ourselves upon
the fact that the big commercial bliz-
zard. like the great snow storms of
the present winter. struck with less
damaging effect 1T Albuquerque than
at any other prominent place OF the
map, while every indication points TO
the fact that as soon as capital ac-
quires a little more confidence we

opment in this section OF the terri

fore, The conditions are already ripe

That Postal Deficit
The Joint Postal Commission in 1907
reported as follows:

ut appears too obvious to require argument that the
most efficient service can never be expected as long as the
direction of the business is, as at present, intrusted to a
Postmaster-G General and certain assistants selected with
out special reference TO experience and qualifications and
subject TO frequent change. Before the Postmaster
General and his assistants can become reasonably familiar
with the operations of the service they are replaced by
others, who, in turn, are called upon to resign before they
can, in the nature of things, become qualified by knowl-
edge and experience to perform their allotted tasks.
Under such a system a large railroad, commercial or
industrial business would inevitably go into bankruptcy,
and the Post-Otfce Department has averted that fate only
because the United States Treasury has been available to
meet deficiencies"
