rolling stock. Even the comparative ly little business that is offered them in this district is handicapped for lack of new cars to fill the gap caused by wear and tear.
 This is no time for extra demands or extra assessments or extra burdens for anything or anybody. Our City Coun- ell has mistaken the voice of clamor for the voice of reason. In face of the conditions that every business knows and feels to exist it has issued an ul- timatum to the railroads to begin by December an enormous and unknown expenditure on viaducts. If the City Council thinks in this rash move it is obeying the voice of the people, let it's members go among the banks and merchants, and learn how many of the la tier are asking accomm odations and extensions. Ask about business, about collections. Ask merchants and man ufacturers whether they themselves are in condition now to bear an extra assessment. Ask the people who are being hit and harrassed by street im- provement tax in what plight this mad haste to impose extra burdens finds their purses. Property owners are h helplessly protesting against the coun- ell running wild at time when no man is prepared for an extra load.
 As with the merchant, the manufac- turer and the real estate owner, so with the railroads. Did it ever occur to the council that the managers of the rail- roads are sensible men, and would likely do as other sensible men when threatened with an extra burden which they are unprepared to bear? Would not the members of the council them

TO THE EDITOR
General Fucker in Favor of Delay


 To the Editor of The Age-H Herald:
 Those who know me are aware that I am exceedingly averse to appearing in the public prints. but 1t occurs to me that the time has come when duty impels me and others who think as I do to speak out.
 Do not present conditions admonish us to exercise the greatest care in all our expenditures. to grant to each oth- CT and to all our public service cor porations every reasonable indulgence? Is it not a time to put on the brakes. rather than apply the spur?
 One does not have to make any spe- oial investigation to learn that we are not recovered from the last great panic and this applies to individuals, to corporations and to the whole pub lie alike. Look at the condition of our district, if you please. Forty-hve per cent of our furnaces are out of blast, many branches of industry are de- pressed and most businesses are car rying heavy load while they strug- gle and wait for brighter day.
 The railroads are in the same sort of boat with the balance of us, only their boat Is carrying the heaviest load and stormier weather is beating their sails. No industry In the country Is so crippled for want of funds to make repairs. They look about in vain for money with which to replace rotten ties and worn out rails and abandoned
