deputies are not governed by the pro-
motion regulations of the civil service,
but are appointed by the head of the
division, and are generally chosen
from among those who have made the
greatest advancement. Thus 1t Is
possible for one to become the chief
special deputy chosen by the collector
of customs, the man at the head or
the customs work Of any port, a posi-
ton which. In New York, carries a
salary of $4,000, or $500 a month.
Advancement from this on is depen-
dent upon the proficiency attained by

The government is one of the best de-
velopers of business In the country.
and men who have attained eminence
In their work under its supervision
are in demand outside. This condi-
ton exists in practically all lines OF
government work; so that ones flu
ture, If laid on the foundation OF I'm.
Gle Sans tuition, is assured.
Thus, chief clerks and deputies from
the various divisions under the con-
troll OF the Treasury Department are
in demand as cashiers, auditors, buy
ers, appraisers, or other important po'
sitions with leading firms, especially
those engaged in the importing or ex'
porting business, and generally be-
come strong factors In the prosperity
of the companies with which they are
connected.
The writer knows one man, for In
stance, who was engaged by big i'm.
porting house as its chief foreign
buyer at a salary Of $4,000 year.
and went to Europe with a force OF
a dozen experts to conduct that end
OF the firms business. His training
in the government appraisers depart
ment had given him intimate knowl-
edge OF values OF goods imported into
the United States, and his services
were In demand.
Many OF the largest firms engaged
in customs brokerage, a prominent
business in ports OF entry throughout
the United States, are composed, at
least in part, by former employees OF
the government customs service, and
there Is not a successful one of them
who does not make thousands OF dol
lars q year.
Finally, the Treasury Department,
which is at the head OF all things per

Sans big family of official workers.
These men enjoy all the comforts OF
a certain and easy job. at a regular
salary, unaffected by industrial condl.
lions, and at the same time maintain
standing in the community that Is
most desirable.
The hours OF work in the customs
service are comparatively brief In
New York, the largest port OF entry In
the country, they are $50 to 4, and.
besides, the employees are given two
weeks vacation with full pay every
year.

AS a result of an extensive cor

there is only one satisfactory meth
cd of disposal of our city wastes.
This is the complete incarceration Of
garbage, offal, manure, rubbish, dead

out in Milwaukee. This method is
at present out of the question be-
cause of the expense, although it is
possible $25, 900 viii cover the cost
of the incinerator alone, which
should be for at least % tons per

properly run, is odorless and could

garbage, about 400 tons, which
costs about $1.75 per ton or S2,450.
With the long haul necessitated by
the present system there should be
another garbage wagon. Under the
circumstances the only available way
is to bury il, and the places selected
were approved and recommended by ].
