IL SQUARES
OF STREETS
Can Be Built With the City's
Appropriation Of
$500.
ABOUT 5000 YARDS OR MORE
ABOUT 5000 YARDS OR MORE
Council May Use Old Stone in
Cemetery and Build Four
More Squares.

City Engineer Moore has made an
estimate Of how much territory the
appropriation of $500 made by the
Council for new streets will cover
After paying for about 1000 yards
of intersections to cost 81, 500, the
city will have $4,000 left to pay one
half Of the $4,000. which will cou-
struct 5000 yards. The contract.
therefore will cover 5000 instead of
5000 yards as before stated. The
survey of the streets shows that af-
ter eight blocks have been provided
for on Sixth, Seventh and Virginia
streets, there will be enough left to
extend the bitulithic street to
Sixteenth. on South Main. This is
within 1900 yards of the entire
amount on South Main covered by
the ordinance. The city's half would
be $3.50 and enough stone will be
removed from the streets improved
to make up this amount. by using
the old stone on streets upon which
appropriations for metaling have
been made. There is also an urgent
demand for two blocks on Water
street, from which much dust is
blown into the business section. The
Elks are anxious to have it alongside
their Home and the /. G, Railroads
property should be given the same
character d street the L. & N.
Railroad has alongside its depot.
These blocks contain about 1850
yards. These could be put down for
81. 900. the city's part being 81, 900
Figuring in the old stone as an asset,
the city can pay for the three addi-
tional blocks with an additional APP
preparation of about $1,000 and past
the appropriation 81. 800 for cemetery
improvements may be transferred
to the street fund and the old stone
taken from the streets used to inn
prove the driveways in the cemetery.
AS the cemetery has a growing fund
of its own. this would make the
axe cut both ways"

Bryan is Pleased.
Bryan Is Pleased.

Secretary Bryan has endorsed the
Glass currency bill in the following
strong terms:
The plan which the President
now urges confers great advantages
upon the banks while it preserves to
the people, acting through the gov
eminent, all that is essential for the
protection Of the public. The notes
are to be treasury notes issued by
the government and loaned to the
regional reserve banks. This is in
harmony with the Democratic con-
tention. There is no surrender Of
the governments right to issue
money. The board Of control is APP
pointed by the President. Thus, the
people, acting through the govern
ment, are in entire control. This is
necessary for the protection Of the
public's interest and ought not to be-
Objectionable to the banks. The du-
ties of this central board are so inn
portant that they could not, with
justice to the public, be committed
to men representing private inter-
ests.
The regional reserve banks are to
represent, not only national
banks of the district. but such state
banks as are willing to put them
selves upon footing which will be
equitable ty the national banks.
The great point of advantage to
the banks. an advantage that ought
to make them willing to accept the
bill without question, is that it fur
nishes currency which they can
secure in time of need, without hav-
ing to put up bonds as security.
The bond requirement largely neu-
trail yes the advantage of the money
issued on them, as security, because
the banks cannot draw back more
from the government than they have
already invested in bonds, but where
a bank can put up its good assets it
is able at all times, without sacrifice.
to secure any additional circulation
that the community made need and
the governing board can be trusted
to issue its treasury notes to the
regional reserve banks on terms that
will be fair and just.
The business interests will, l think,
welcome this bill as an unalloyed
blessing. 1t gives h m through
their banks a promise of relief in
any time of stringency and it gives
this promise without putting in the
hands of the banks a power that
might be used against them. The
bill is a faithful fulfillment of the
promise made in the Baltimore plat
form"

Mr.. MeIIen's Resignation.
(Boston Post.)

The resignation of Charles S. Mellen
from the presidency of the Boston q
Maine railroad is in all probability ac-
tuated precisely by the reason given
in the official statement, namely that
Mr. Mellen finds that 1t is impossible
for him to do justice To so many
presidencies at once, and, as he is es-
centrally a New Haven man, 1T Is bet
ter for him to devote his time and his
energies To that railroad
This move is wise and if it is an earn
est of less expensive methods with
the New Haven itself hereafter. 1t is
all the better. Mr. Mellen's railroad
ability is undoubted. When applied
to the business of railroading eXclu-
sively it has produced and can still
achieve admirable results.
Mr. Morris Mcdonald, who is to be
the new president of the Boston Il
Maine and the Maine Central rail-
roads, has had long and varied ex-
perience II years of it on the Maine
Central. He is accounted strong
man, and certainly his new position
will call for strength and other quail
tiles beside. He has a large opportu-
nifty and large responsibilities. The
public will wish him success.
