Citizens Interest In Expenditures.
In political controversy it has been
assumed generally that the individual
citizen has little interest in what the
government spends. In my opinion,
this has been serious mistake, one
which is becoming more serious each
year. Now that. population has be-
come more dense, that large cities
have developed. that people are re-
quired to live in congested centers, that
the national resources frequently are
the subject Of private ownership and
private control and that transportation
and other public service facilities are
held and operated by large corpora
tons, what the government does with
nearly S1.000,0O0,000 each year is of as
much concern TO the average citizen as
is the manner of obtaining this amount
of money for public use. In the pres
ent inquiry special attention has been
given to the expenditure side.

want saving and saving for purpose

ment.
The use Of equipment is a matter
which also has been investigated. Up
to the present time this investigation
has been IN the main confined TO the
subject of electric lighting. The gov
eminent pays over $8o0,o00 per year
for electric current. 1t has made large
capital OUTLAWS for wiring and fixtures.
With the increasing demands in many
buildings the present equipment Is tax
ed to its limit. and If the present meth
DDS are continued much OF this wir-
ing must be done over, In many places
employees are working at a great
physical disadvantage. due to made
quate and improper lighting and there

place where the inquiry has been con-
Quoted 1t appears that there is large
waste: that without the cost OF re-
wiring. simply by giving proper atten-
ton to location Of lights and the use
of proper lamps and refeetors, the
light efficiency at points where needed
may be much increased and the cost
OF current reduced from 30 to 60 per
cent. Other inquiries into the use
which is being made of properties and
equipment are contemplated which
promise even larger results.
Unnecessary Cost Of Insuranes.
1t is the policy of the government
not to insure public property against
fire and other losses. Question has
been raised whether the government
might not apply the same principle to
other forms of risk, including insur-
ance of the fidelity Of officials and en-
ployees. A report is now in prepara-
ton on the subject which win show
opportunities for large savings. be-
lieye that the present expense for in
surfing the faithful execution of con-
tracts, which, though paid by the con-
tractor, is more than covered In the
added price to the government, can be
largely reduced without taking away

the results of Indebtedness of specifi

lions which make ii extra hazardous
for persons to enter into contractual
relations. This not only deprives the
government of the advantage of broad
competition, but causes 1t TO pay an
added margin in price to vendors, who
must carry the risk.

chard ran a tumbling, cosby, little
brook. We found IL as we were ex'

next day, and such was Nancy's de-
light with it, that she would go no
farther, but must needs sit down W.

TO contemplate at leisure the fairy
land spring had left in passing. There
was pleasant and remote detachment
about the place which charmed us
both. II seemed as far away from the
clamorous hustle of the city as II 1t
were on another planet, and even the
quiet, little nearby town was unsug-
gested and forgotten. The place en-
compassed life of It's own, and seem
ed a small and isolated Paradise with
no dependence on the outer world. The
stream at our feet gurgled and laugh

OF its gently sloping banks. From time
