WHY CITY CAN BEST MAKE MAPS City Engineer Certain City's
 Interests Will Be
 Subserved Competent Staff to Be Elm ployed and Work Will Be Given Every Attention

About City Hall the decision to make the block maps in the office of the city engineer is considered distinctly vic- tory for the principle that the city should do it's own work, wherever pos sible.
 In this case, as in similar eases, the its own work successfully is that a very large number of citizens, whose influence is much greater than their numbers. however, are opposed to the principle of the city doing it's own work, because this leads ultimately to ownership of public utilities.
 Accordingly many influences are ar rayed to prevent work removed from the contract system from being a suc- cess.
 City Engineer Maurice F. McKenna will see to it, in the matter of block maps, that the principle that the city can do it's own work is in this case vindicated.
 He has decided to do the work in his own office, with men directly em- ployed by the city.
 He will cooperate with the Board of Assessors, furnishing them with the precise kind of map which they believe will most facilitate their work.
 City Engineer McKenna expects that the immediate demands Of the WOrk will require the services of five compe- tent men including a competent head. The party will be made up of men all or most of whom have had experience in just such work.
 The object will be to make the maps as accurately as possible, and then as rapidly as possible.
 This is regarded as most important. The risk to the city under the bidding system was that the lowest bidder would take the work at such price as to compel him in every way to skimp it.
 But when the city does it's own work there is no incentive to skimping. and no purpose except to give the city a good job.
 It is probably true that the city will pay slightly more for help than pri- vate contractors. but on the other hand there is no contractors profit to pay, so that in the whole the city will se- cure better maps for less price.
 City Engineer McKenna said today: My department will begin work upon the block maps as soon as possible. We shall try to make the job one that the city will be proud of. The work will be done in strict cooperation with the asserrors. It will be done entirely under the supervision of the city en- gineer, by men employed directly by the city, who must devote their whole time to the work until it is done Men will be employed who have had ex- perience in just such work, and we eX- pect to turn out accurate maps at a very moderate actual cost per map.'

Especial from United Press )

Boston, June S.-George w. Cole man, the self-confessed wrecker of the National City Bank of Cambridge, was the first witness to be called when the defense began today in the case of the government against William J..

SECRETARIES MEYER AND
 WILSON WILL WELCOME

Washington,June S.-President Taft today asked Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Secretary of the Navy Meyer to go to New York to meet Former President Roosevelt on his return to this country. They will be accompanied by the Presidents aide, Captain Butt, who will bear letter from the President to his predecessor, welcoming him home.

Possibly. the public sentiment is about balanced at these two points.
 There is a substantial interplay of private interests, also. Upon the north side of the street merchants and property owners are largely willing to be moved back 12 feet. They regard the sum likely to be paid in compen- sation by the city as offsetting the loss of a F foot strip of land. But some business men on the north side favor widening on tho south side.
 The south side is controlled by two owners, s. z. -Poli. who has just pur- chased large holdings upon which to erect big theatre and Logan Bros, who own a handsome five story block at Congress street and Middle street.
 MT. Poli is neutral to the proposition to increase the width of the street up- on his side of it. so long as he re- covers back the price he paid for the property. This was, in some instances it is said. s2,00O a front foot.

 Washington, June S-Gifford Pinchot today forcibly declared himself against the administration land withdrawal bill now in the Senate asserting that if passed ''the bill will operate directly for the benefit of the water power in- terests and directly against the inter- ests of the people,
 Pinchot opposes the bill mainly for two reasons-first, because of the pro- vision for mineral entries. and second, because the measure does not validate existing withdrawals
 The people still own enormously valuable water power sites on the pub lie lands,' said Pinchot. These sites should never be sold, but should be held by the government and leased to men who will develop and operate them. The withdrawal bill gives the President the right to protect the sites for the people by withdrawing them from disposal and this is a good pro- vision. But it also provides that if certain minerals can be found upon them. these sites cannot be taken away from the people. Even if false claims

FIRST PARLIAMENT
 UNDER REIGN OF KING
 GEORGE BEGINS TODAY
Especial from United Press. )

London, June 8.-The first parlia- ment under the reign of George V began today. The Liberals, in keep ing with their promise made sim- mediately after the death of the late King Edward. announced that they were willing to postpone their cam paign against the House of Lords un- til the new King becomes more fami- liar with his duties but they again in- sisted that the Conservatives take no advantage of the truce in an effort to win support for the Lords.
 It is not believed the agreement between the two factions will last more than two weeks. Each side is suspicious of the other and it is con- sidered inevitable that some of the leaders will take a step which will be considered a breach of the truce and thereby launch the old fight that was on before the recess.

THIEF STEALS SAFE BUT OVERLOOkS MUCH
 VALUABLE JEWELRY,
Special from United Press.

Taunton, Mass, June S-There is a much disappointed thief somewhere in this city, who carried awax the small safe belonging to Minnie E. Donnelly, of Providence, brought it to this city to a local stable, opened it and uttered an exclamation of dis gust when he saw nothing but papers in it. He left it saying he would come back and didn't come back. He will be further disgusted when he finds that he overlooked in the safe goldN watches, rings, gold pieces and other valuable property. The police have description of the man.

Health Officer E. A. Mcclellan of the health department has so far mastered the fntricacies of the Knox runabout he had been trying out for a week or more that yesterday and today he was driving about the city as self confident as Joe Tracy taking the hairpin curve.
 The automobile will likely be pur- chased for the health officer for $500. It is slightly used, not badly shop worn, and is expected to assist the health officer in making his daily rounds of the various cases that come within the province of the health of- ficer.
