PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.

IN APPOINTING Public Utilities Commissioners
L the Mayor has gone far out of the beaten path
and in this respect he has given us novel exper-
;ence With the exception Of Mr.. Pierce, we cannot
recall that anv OF the commissioners named mas
ever before held public place
The list of commissioners is notable for the
lack Of the usual names who appear as plaoe noiu-
ers in Delaware A new line OF citizenship mas
been drafted into tho public service The mayor
i has been reported all along, found difficulty IN
securing proper man, or men whom he considered
proper for these positions
II can be said in commendaton OF the appoint
ments that the men named are not politicians nol
one If them so far as we know Judging ny the
character Of the men there IS no danger tnat 'ne
city viii be put to needless expense by nololne
unnecessary meetings The character OF the men
forbids that
II would be quite easy for the commissioners
if thew were so disposed 20 pile up unnecessary
meetings for the mere sake OF getting the money
as used 70 he done in the days OF our CITY
Councils years ago. The new commissioners VIII
perform their duties we believe IN strictly ous'-
ness-like manner And that is no small oommenoa-
ton
Some Of the men appointed to the positions arc
practically unknown in public affairs OF the city,
nearly ali Of them are. But this IS not TO their
discredit We may add however, that none OF them
has been conspicuous in the various organizations
that have been working for the Advancement OF
Wilmington along progressive lines. and IN this
respect the Mayor has followed the precedent set
hy the Governor and other appointing powers OF
practically ignoring the advanced sentiment IN this
city.
The commission may be called fairly we'll bal
snced What NAV be termed the conservative ele-
,nent is surely we'll taken care Of as IL always IS
in Delaware and possibly we should not object on
that score for Delaware, Judged by the acts OF
the people in electing their officials and IN other
matters IS so conservative that II bends backward
There are also men on the commission who can
not be classed as ultra conservatives and as we
have said in this respect We may add that the COM
mission is fairly we'll balanced. The merchants
of Market street might have been better taken
care Of but We presume the Mayor regards the sp
continent Of Mr.. Cleaver-and this we think one
Of the best-as a recognition Of the business Gle
mcnt on Market street
As We have said and repeat the Mayor, according
70 our judgment, has totally ignored men ACTIVE
IN the Board of Trade the Civic Association and tn,
other bodies that are working for progressive vii
mington and in this respect the commission i
Disappointing This. however, may not have beer
entirely the fault of the Mayor considering the diff
hculty he had in securing men whom he though
qualified.
It is not fair TO PREJUDICE the commissioners
hey may have a grasp of the great issue involves
IN Public Utilities Commission and they ma
perform their duties to the satisfaction Of tn
people who have been interested in this matter
The Journal hopes so.

SMALL INDUSTRIES IN TOWNS.

II HE SMYRNA TIMES this week makes men
u ton of a highly successful factory in that
town which gives employment to i60 operators,
who in turn spend their money in the town. This
instance shows what ine thing it is for the towns
of the state TO have such industries
The Times says that operators are needed at the
factory and those wanting work need only
10 apply TO secure it, The factory is unable to
supply the demand for its goods That we
think. would be the history OF all factories that
might locate in Delaware towns. If we'll man
aged, as is the overalls and underwear mill Of
Smyrna there would be plenty of work and fair
profit for the owners
But we fancy that the chief trouble of the own
ers OF such mills is to secure labor. Even in a
city so large as Wilmington, the labor problem,
the securing of girls and women, is sometimes a
serious problem that oonfronts our manufac-
turers.
In town like Smyrna it would seem that fac
tory work would be pleasant as any other kind
OF work, and if manufacturers we're sure that their
supply of labor would be sufficient. we have no
doubt that Delaware towns could get all the small
industries they wanted
