BACK SALARIES
WILL Be PAID TO
OFFICIALS TODAY
Assistant State Auditor Makes
Out Warrants Which viii
Be Turned Over 10 Public
Servants.

oahta re. Dec. 20.-Assistant State
Auditor A. J. Fisher today made out
me warrants for the 60 per cent back
salaries that the state still owes its
servants at the capitol. They will be
handed over tomorrow. coming al the
acceptable time, few days before
Christmas.
Mr.. Fisher has just finished the
compilation of the taxes that the tax
payers Of the state contributed during
the past two fiscal years to the sun
port OF the state and It's activities. The
total amounts to the handsome sum
OF $i,6Ss.af4.1l or about Sc fer every
man woman and child in the state.
Unfortunately, the burden Is not dis
tributed SO uniformly. for the num-
Der OF taxpayers is only a small pro-
portion of the population of the
state.
That the tax collector gets his own
even after many years OF waiting and
that taxes can't be lodged All the
time. is demonstrated by the fact that
among the state taxes collected last
year We're S67.7s of 1906 taxes.
$l13.42 OF 1907; $1,5004l OF 1905

Bernalllo county is fifth among

Sandoval and Taos counties contrib

the county of Chaves pays. and Santa

Fire Prevention Foremost.

In the Fire Department there are
great questions of organization, but the
principal work that is before Commits
sioner Adamson and his associates is
the work of fire prevention. | am con-
WINGED that we are making satisfactory
progress in this field. The work is new
and there are many tangles TO be
Strengthened out, particularly in mat
tiers of duplication of inspection.
/ said during the campaign that
proposed to untangle, if / could, the
complications of inspection work which
no doubt often seem unnecessarily an
noying to property owners. The State
Factory Commission, other state au-
thorities and various city departments
are working together in this matter.
Commissioner Adamson has already
simplified inspections by arranging
with the borough presidents to have
the Bureaus Of Buildings in the sew
eral boroughs examine plans for Fire
Department requirements. Before this
change plans were examined separate
ly by the Bureau of Buildings and by
the Fire Department. This is the kind
of simplifcation that means economy
and greater convenience to the public.

to reach a judgment regarding his ad-

ming in putting an end to the perennial
police question.

that the city has right to expect OF
that great department.
We are not hearing much talk THESE
days of the police system" That is
a good thing. We are giving our atten-
ton to police work and to obtaining
police results. This is the best cure OF
the kind of evils which sum up what
is popularity described as the police
system" The police are to get a
square deal under this administration
and the Police Department is to give
the public a square deal. We all
understand this, and are working to
live UP to our undertaking. believe
that the administration has the hearty
cooperation of the police force. We
must have it to obtain good police re-
suits.

SELECTION OF '"CABlNEI
WAS NOT AN EASY TASK

combined with this competency and EN-
cheney contact and mountaineering
with the public with which the govern
ment must deal. | spent a great many
DAYS and hours in considering appliea--
tions. Practically every application !
passed on personally, because 1t seemed
clear TO me that the success of the gov
eminent depended in a large degree
upon the character of the selections
made for the positions of leadership.
Public service in American cities is
still very largely an avoeation. Men
abandon their private positions or busi-
ness COR a while to take some city po-
sition. Most of us find it very alluring.
But there is no special training for
il. Some day we shall have the special
training, and when we do, the task OF
organizing the government will be
greatly simplifed.
Is think over the list of department
heads | find that practically in every
instance the commissioner has had
some special preparation for the work
committed to him. In every case the
commissioner has had executive train
ing, and in no case has this executive
training been merely in the field OF
politics or party leadership.
The day of transplanting district
leaders 70 city commissionerships has
probably gone by. To make certain
that it will be past forever we must
train up in the United States municipal
executives who combine capacity with
the human quality possessed by sue
ccssful politicians. Ii is not enough
merely to conduct government eff .
GENTLY. II must be conducted in a
way that the public understands and
approves. This public understanding
and approval is based not only on re-
suits alone but on the way in which
results are obtained. Above everything
else tact and simplicity are necessary.
With this in mind, / requested the
heads Of departments 70 conduct them
selves with self-restraint and sim
plicity and devote the first months of
their administration not TO announc-
iag what they intended to do, but to
getting themselves prepared for the
doing.

New York Central difficulty on the
West Side of Manhattan Island are
undergoing thorough scrutiny and re-
vision When finally adopted it is my
hone that they will include plan Oh

The plans for the South Brooklyn
Terminal Marginal Freight Railway,
adopted under the last administration,
have Just been reported to the Board
of Estimate by the terminal committee,
with recommendation for radical

the city and the locality. This rail,

70 make elevated throughout the entire
length Of its main line, can be &C
ouired and construction completed Tor
approximately s11 100000, and, through
an arrangement with the railroads
which are to operate it, can be made
self-supporting practically at once:
The entire project can be completed
and placed in operation within two
wears. provided the city receives from
the Legislature and the Governor the
legislation necessary to permit the
making of the proposed contract OF OPP
Grafton with the trunk line railroads;
The necessary funds are available, and
there ia no reason why the project
should not go forward rapidly to COM
pletion.
While these great projects are being
rushed the Dock Department is az
lively engaged in building and recon

leases to meet the pressing demand
for more space for the shipping OF the
