the truth that Buriington's city hall
is several generations back of the rail-
road station. Hence, Burlington feels
the force of the CentraPs argument and
is going about project for new city

THE WASTE OF P E
One of the Most Culpable and Need
less of American EXtravagances.

Another means of saving the for
ests presents itself in the stopping OK
paper waste. There is no more Gull
pable and needless American eXtraV-
agance than that involved in the lit
tering of all inhabited areas of the
continent with fragments of disused
paper, which, gathered together,
might be made over into more paper
or otherwise utilized to commercial
advantage. The city of Buffalo gets
q small revenue from waste paper by
generating steam at it's incinerting
plant, thus converting the waste into
power. In Cleveland better results
are obtained. A late report of the
method adopted in that city says:
1--WE now have approximately twen-
ty thousand bags which we use for
the collection of papers. Each house.
holder Is provided with one, and once
each week our collector calls to
empty the same. The paper is hauled
to a central baling station and baled
ready for shipment. p.
1.-The present administration has
caused the papers to be baled by the
workhouse prisoners, and the cost OF
collecting and baling, according to
! the statement made to me By the Dr.
rector of Public Works, is IS a ton.
The papers are sold on contract TO
the highest bidder, and the last con-
; tract was made for S9.40 0 ton.
"The advantage Of Cleveland's
system is that the expense Of sorting
the paper waste from the other re-
fuse is avoided, and the technical diff
fculty of grading the waste papers
Is overcome by selling them just as
they come to paper stock Dealers

Captain Charles c. Healey, COM
marder of Chicago's squad Of traffic
regulators, has made a Number of
recommendations looking to the re-
lief Of street congestion based on a
two months study of foreign meth
DDS. Among other things he says
that all houses in the business dis
tricts should be required to receive
all supplies at hours that will not in
terfere with traffic. This, comments
the New York Tribune, would mean
either night deliveries or receipt of
consignments at early morning hours.
He thinks, also, that subways for Pc
destrians should be provided at

Submits the Baltimore American:
If the political agitation in Cuba were
an index to its industrial condition,
the island would be in a bad shape.
Fortunately, the Cubans were never
so prosperous; the country's. long re-
lief from strife and the safeguards
thrown abont constitutional rule
through the obligations laid upon the
island by the United States have fos.
tered the Industrial interests Of the
Cubans. The Importance Of this con-
dition is reflected in the indisposition
of the people to follow infammatory
insurgents into the brush. The grad
ual separation of industrial interests
from political agitation is leaving the
latter high and dry.
