NEWAPK'S NEdL EcTED STREETS.

ca HE condition Of the streets of Newark is a reproach to the
city and a discredit to the Board of Works, which spends
a large appropriation of the taxpayers money for the pr
pose of keeping the streets clean. Even in the show streets there
are evidences enough of carelessness and neglect, but in the streets
off from the main thoroughfares and the business centre there is
little or n o evidence that the city's cleaners have visited them in
months. Nor is this a new experience. The truth is that the
present method of street cleaning is an expensive and complete
failure. Newark has made no progress in its street cleaning sys-
tenn in twenty-five years, and it is as much a political partisan and
eleemosynary organization as it was in the days when everything
in local government was partisan. Men ae not selected for their
ability to clean as much as for their ability to vote as they are
told, and therefore the service is filled with the aged and the in
competent, and it takes two or three of these mel to do the ordi
nary work of one man. The city should abandon this decrept ss-
tenn forthwith. No sane business man would have street cleaning
done on the present plan. He would employ able-bodied men,
systematize their work, pay no unearned wages, and then see that
the work was properly performed. And he would do it at much
less expense than the city is now compelled to undergo for the
worst kind of cleaning. Experience has shown conclusively that
a municipal board having varied duties is incapable of keeping
the streets clean. Then why not try the system OF private con
tract? Everybody wants clean streets at the least expense. The
Board of Works gives us dirty streets at an extravagant cost. A
private contractor could do no worse at a lesser cost, and he could
hardly fail to do much better.

Temporary Improvement.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
At last the Board of Works has
taken some action to relieve the traffic
congestion at the -Four Corners
While the %semaphore system of denot-
ing the oncoming ears Will only tempo
rarily relieve the situation, it will help,
nevertheless. As the matter stands
now, neither the prospective passen-
gers, policemen or motormen know just
in what spot between the Newark
Theatre and B%amberger's store the
cars are going to stop.
While standing in front of the Fire
mems building waiting for a car it
often happens that the car one wishes
to board is stopped half a block fur
Their east. Naturally a person would
before trying to board it, out nine
times out of ten the said car will whizz
by the -Four Corners without stop
ping. When the policeman's whistle
blows, letting the west-bound cars pro-
coed, the first one is run up Market
street near Halsey. This is to make
room for the other w%est-bound cars,
and they all scurry over al though a
flood or something would overtake
them. In the meantime the would-be
passenger is running up and down
Market street trying to follow the car
wants to get. Sometimes he gets
it and other times he does not.

wants Better Programs.

To the Editor of the ..yening Star:
Why is 1t that our theatres do not
supply a better program to their
patrons of the upper tier? Time was
when there were no reserved seats in
the gallery; the floor was covered with
tobacco juice and peanut shells, but all
that is changed. The place is now
cleaned, the seats are reserved, a de-
cent price is charged and only respect
able peoples occupy them, and yet the
same poor style of program is furnished
to that part of the house as used to
be when it was the resort of the lower
class.
1t is up to the public to force the
theatre owners to give better programs,
as there is no law to cover this con-
dition. THEATREGOER.

PLUMBER OF A cONTEN7ED CITY.

IT'D PHILADELPHIA taxpayers have been hattered for some time
liz by Philadelphas mayor with visions of a "city beautiful"
plans for which were prepared under his supervision. To
carry them out will cost many millions. Large appropriations have
already been spent in buying land for boulevards. investigation
shows that the city beautiful idea covers systematic and wholesale
robbery. Politicians have confederated to make purchases of land
to resell to the city. Large tracts of land worth no more than $3.50
an acre were sold to the city for from $500 to $4,000 an acre.
Small fractions of tracts were bought by the city at prices greater
than the whole tract was worth, and as the boulevard is an i'm.
provement to abutting property the tract was doubled in value
without any assessment for benefits. But Philadelphia, "corrupt
and contented,' has had such a long experience of this official
scoundrelism that it has got used to it and will probably elect the
same men in the election next month.
