the fact that thore arc many famous
prccedents for horse takers. Horse
talk was q Characteristic Of George

always keep his saddle. provided tho

Tho Army and Navy Journal gays that

City officials who arc efficient have
nothing to fear, and they know 1t, and

Attorney Pollard Special Accountant
Crenshaw, Building Inspector Beck

They are efficient men who believe in

why they are for this plan. which

Why Is It that so many think that
"when you work for the city, it's dit-
ferent" from working for business
man? Just that attitude OF the aver
age man Is illuminating testimony as
to the inefic.ency Of antiquated NUM-
cipal methods. Such al idea Is based
on the fact that SO many city en-
plpycs have "cinch jobs" and work
any old way and get off any old time.
The men who work for city ought
