sponsibiIty on Overseer.

AS the time draws nearer for the
new city officials to take upon them
selves the togas of their respective
offices, the interest increases. There
is no department of the city's bust
ness that is attracting more inter-
est, and certainly not one that should,
as the street department
1t is generally understood and nat
urally should be the case, that Alder.
man-elect G. ]. Akin will have charge
of the street department Mr.. Akin
was in The Herald Office this morn
ing and when questioned about the
plan of street building stated in sub
stance as follows:
Yes, l suppose / will be made
chairman of the street committee,
and if such is the case, l will have an
entirely different system from what
has been employed.
Il will not endeavor to build the
streets on which the proper sewer
age and connections have not been
made. 1t is a useless waste of funds
to try to build q street and then tear
it up as soon as it is finished for the
purpose of putting in little stretch
OF sewerage There is a vast amount
of work encumbered upon the man
that has charge of this department
and especially for the street over
seer. If the street man ATTENDS to
his business it is necessary that he
stay on the streets all the time"
When questioned about the method
of building streets, Mr.. Akin stated
that it was his intention to tarylate
all the principal streets and especial
ly the down town streets He was
further questioned about the street
sprinkling, and said that he hoped to
get the system in such a shape that
the city would sprinkle it's own
The matter Of oiling the streets was
also discussed, and Mr.. Akin stated
that he was satisfied that oiling the
streets would be far better for the
streets than sprinkling, as the wear
would not be so great, but that he
would not be willing to use the oil
until he was conviced that it would
not be tracked into the homes and
ruin the floor coverings, and also the
dresses Of the ladies as they travers-
ed the thoroughfares.
There is one thing l am going to
see to and that is that the money
spent for street purposes brings good
results" said Mr.. Akin when a dol
lar Is spent for street work, I want
a dollars worth of good done the
street, and that will be one Of my
main purposes"
There is no doubt that Mr.. Akin
Is the man for the place and there is
a universal belief that there will be-
complete change in the city's street
building under his management. He
is an engineer and knows the practi-
cal methods Of building and grading.
roads to better give the water shed,
and under his supervision and with
the full support of the board there Is
no reason why Columbia's streets
should not be greatly improved.

fact that on the American side every one sympathizes with the revolution ists. On the Mexican side Americans are careful to say nothing in violation of the neutrality laws. but on their own soil they give full expression to their feelings. Supplies are constantly being taken across the river to the insur- rectos but there is no way to stop the traffic Orozco's men are well sup piled with money and pay for every thing they get This is one of the req sons Americans sympathize with them. There is also a feeling in Fl PasO that the cause of the rebels is a just one.
 "I haven't the least doubt that in the end the revolutionists will win out" General Phillips declared. They may be put down for time. but it will not be long before they break out again and they are sure to succeed finally. Diazs soldiers are criminals whom he has pardoned on condition that they enter the army. and little can be ex- pected from fighting men of that stripe. At the-ffst opportunity they are going to desert. In my opinion the outside world has no idea how many govern ment soldiers have deserted and gone over to the revolutionists.
 The sympathy for the insurrectos extends all along the border. ln south ern Arizona there are hundreds of American citizens, not of Mexican de- scent. who would join the revolution ists if they could
