FOR GOOD ROADS.

The good roads convention attacks
one Of the Oldest of human problems
and apparently one Of the most insolu-
bic. The prophetic eXhortation to cast
up q highway and gather out the stones
doubtless embodies figure Of speech
which was drawn directly from the
public needs and the public works OF
those times and from public work
which was even then ranked among the
most important and most difficult. Long
Gfter, thojgh in still remotely ancient
times. road building occupied the best
attention Of some Of the greatest men
Of the then greatest power Of the world.
ana Roman roads have for two thou
sand years been one Of the cloies Of
the Roman name.
The reproach has now and then been
uttered that in our twentieth century
we cannot do as we'll as the Romans
did It is not iudicious nor just. at any
rate, when taken positively. Road max
ing skill has not deteriorated. but the
use OF roads has become immeasurably

bic. We have not fallen, at the best.
below the old Romans as road builders.
but we have gone far beyond them as
road destroyers by hard usage. Used
only as the Roman roads were used,
ours might last as long as theirs. Used
by our strenuous modern traffic. the
Roman roads would have gone 10 wreck.
The problem then. is not TO build such
roads as the Romans built, but to build
roads suited 10 the new conditions Of
traffic. They must endure the weight and
speed Of modern vehicles. with their
tendency to destroy the integrity Of the
road surface. To this end not only
methods but materials must be devised
The vehicles which are so destructive
Of existing roads have come TO stay.
We cannot get rid Of them nor bar
them from the roads. The roads must
be suited TO them. That is the problem
of the dav.

TAlLlLANY EINANCE.

II the Mayor has the slightest regard
for decent and orderly methods Of finance
he will restore TO the budget the SG,IOO'-
GOO cut out by the Board of Aldermen
from the appropriation to make up de-
fclencies in the collection Of taxes. lg-
nOring these deficiencies In the past
has been a scandal. When Controller
Prendergast took office about S3O,0OO'O0O
Of uncollectible taxes were carried ON
tie books of the city as assets" and
the practice Of his predecessors was 10
borrow money from year to year TO make
up the deficit.
The immense sum Of uncollectible taxes
was due to the loose practice Of as
sessing propertyless persons for large
amounts of personally. Those thus as
scssed who did not take the trouble to
swear off their assessments were entered
on the tax roll as owing taxes TO the
city. And these worthless claims were
carried from year to year as assets OF
the city. The deficit in revenues result
ing was made up by borrowing at hlgn
rates of interest on revenue bonds.
These revenue bonds were probably tlle-
gal. Certainly the practice of allowing
the deficiency in the collection of taxes
to mount up from year to year until 1t
reached more than S3O0000O0 was 81
defensible. Controller Prendergast ad-
dressed himself to the business Of wip-
ing out this concealed deficit gradually.
and a sum was appropriated for that
purpose last year.
The action Of the Board Of Aldermen
this year, however. means an abandon
ment of that reform and a continuance
Of the Old Tammany practice Of improper
and costly borrowing to cover the differ
ence between revenue and expenses.
Some persons profess to discern the
Mayors influence in the cuts made by
the Board Of Aldermen. But is the
Mayor willing to see the city 90 on with
this hand-tO-mouth borrowing of doubt
ful legality? Has he no regard for the
financial reputation Of the cityf The
public will be astonished If he approves
q budget that does not make adequate
provision for reducing the accumulated
deficit in revenues.
