Refuse From Slaughter House.

The slaughter house Offal is
washed direct into the river. Lungs
and other refuse We're seen floating
down towards the Columbia. Both
sewers empty direct into the river.
The outlet of the Yakima Avenue
sewer could not be located exactly,
as it was under water, but by stand
ing on the banks of the river below
the outlet of the sewer and watching
the water for a few minutes there
was no mistaking the evidence that
the fresh sewage is being poured di-
rect into the river. The outlet OF
the Maple street sewer was above
water and was readily found. In
building new sewers we must not
lose sight of the fact that we must
provide some means of disposing of
our sewage other than dumping it
into the river This is best accom- =
plished by means Of d sewage dis
posal plant installed for the purpose,
The ultimate end and aim of
sewage disposal works is to separate
the organic matter contained in the
sewage from the water in which it
is dissolved or suspended, and to
render it oinnocuous by decomposition
and oxidation, while at the sam
time restoring the water itself to a
state Of comparative purity, so that
it may not injuriously AFFECT any
stream. river, or tidal estuary
through which it may pass on its way
back to the sea- No mstter what
m ethod of treatment may be adopted,
il now seems to have been we'll es-
tablished as fundam entail priciple
that the publication of sewage is
mainly due to the action of living
organisms. or bacteria, by whose ma
tural agency all the waste products
of animal and vegetable life undergo
process of decay, which results in
the separation of their constituent
elements, so that these are rendered
availa BILE for forming frehs chemical
com binations of character entirely
different from those from which they
were derived.

Sewage disposal Is no more IA

1orltY of cities the problem Is simply
a question Of money. but no sewage
disposal plant can he truly econom-

tract for such plant should not be

MAKE NO MORE LONG TERM SPRINKLING
 . 1\ CONTRACTS AND OIL THE STREETS

The contract for sprinkling streets is about to expire. There should be no long term renewal. No long term contract can be made that will De legal. But the city should not al- tempt to enter into moral obliga- ton" to do what it cannot legally do. and what, as a matter of practical ad- vantage to the city, it ought not to do. >s .d
 The disadvantages of long term sprinkling contract appeared when last summer the city desired to fol- low the example of all up-to-date communities and use oil on certain streets.
 Then came the holders of the sprinkling contract, insisting upon the right to sprinkle each and every street. Oiling had to be abandoned.
 Oiling is superseding sprinkling in many parts of the country. Only those cling to the old method who have not tried the new. Sprinkling

means streets that are dusty more than half the time. In early spring, when the danger to health from fly ing dust is greatest, the streets of Bridgeport have not been sprinkled st all.
 Milford oils it's streets. Everybody who passes through the old town,
 whether 'by trolley. automobile, or other vehicle, knows that the oiling is beneficial.
 All the way to New Haven, along the shore roads the streets have been
 oiled to the great advantage of traf- fife. In New Haven thoroughfares
 have been oiled, miles of them, with
 comfort to everybody.
 Let the administration rise above alliances between politicians and con-
 tractors and apply oil to the streets. At the very least no contract should
 be made which will estop the use, of
 oil at the pleasure of the city, even
 though the use of water is tempor- arily continued.

The accident at Odessa, Minu. when trains on the Chicago, Milwau- kee and St. Paul collided, is merely one more terrible fatality incident to the operation of American railroads. Thirteen were killed, one less than in the wreck of the Federal Express tn this city. The wooden cars were sleepers and heavier than the usual type. which made the disaster of less proportions. But. being wood, some of thes,fays caught fire, adding to the horrors of the catastrophe,
 A steel diner all but sheared the top from a steel sleeper, but these cars are regarded as having much limited the effects of the crash.
 Railroads should be required by law to use steel cars. Some railroads are doing so.
 In its outstanding report the Inter- state Commerce Commission says that steel cars for use in passenger trains have passed the experimental stage, and that the cost of a steel car is

BY ALL MEANS AUDIT MUNICIPAL ACCOUNTS % sS @ @A BUT LET US HAVE NO CONCEALMENT

There can be no reasonable objec- ton to an honest audit of municipal accounts by body of expert account ants In fact the accounts of every ,city ought to be intelligently examin- ed by unbiased experts at not too infrequent periods Care should be taken in the present : case that the auditing body shall { command respect by its personnel and freedom from connection with those who may presumably have ar interest in concealing some facts and disclosing others.
 It may be suggested that the com rpittee proposed is not so free from embarrassing association as might Dc. desired. This committee might be enlarged by the addition of others of whose entire freedom there could De no doubt, or the work might be done by firm of certified public account ants whose business standing would be involved in their failure to make d lull, I1OASSt dno SOkiPAOkC 0iSSAONS- sure.
 Nor is it clear that great advan- tages would result from the creation of the so called board of contract and supply, which so far appears only as a vehicle for the creation of more highly paid offices, a clerk at not less than s3,O00 a year being the sug- .gestfon of MT. Macdonald, who speaks z. with sall the authority becoming in one who has not been named a mem Der of board which has not been established.
 The attempt to reform government by mere changes in language and names of committees, boards andocom- missions is as old as the folly of - ignorant men.

THE INDISCREET ALDERMAN

Significant was the attitude of AL derman George W. King in the Re- publican caucus. Saturday evening, when he threatened to bolt the party choice of Harbormaster Charles H. Morris to succeed himself in office. Alderman King is an employe of the Bridgeport Gas Light Company and the only alderman who voted for the twenty-year contract and ever ob- tained a reelection. The display of animus was unnecessary to the point of indiscretion. Since there is a Democratic majority in the council which has made caucus choice of a Democrat for harbor master the elI- imitation of Mir. Morris can be diplo- matically accomplished without such violent symptoms of satisfaction on the part of those who resent the har- bor masters fight for direct primaries and his independence as a party man and a public servant.

STEEL CARS PROTECT RAILROAD PASSENGERS

but little more than that of wooden car. The. commission also says that if there is any extra cost of mainten- ance of steel, car. that this cost cau- not equal the advantages arising from the added safety which the steel car affords.
 There is pending in the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce of the House of Representatives House Resolution No. 11S22, the in tent k which is to require steel pas senger cars and steel postal cars.
 The commission suggests that the railroads should be required to buy steel cars in adding to their equip ment, but suggests the continued use of extra strong wooden cars of the Pullman passenger type. possibly for ten years. The period seems unneces- sarily long, since the stronger types of wooden car afford no more protec- ton from fire than the weaker types. Yet, in the whole, the recommends. tions of the commission are excellent.

 The trouble with government is not the names of the governing forces, but in prevalent false ideals. Govern ment and business do indeed go hand in hand" The city is field of ex ploitation for. private monopoly and privilege of many kinds. Private monopoly is now in the saddle. With evident sincerity 1t proposes certain reforms. The skinning of the city will continue, but the division of the spells is to cease.
 Monopoly plans to do the skinning alone.
 The situation is full of promise of better things. When grafters fail out municipalities come to their own.
