A PR0PIT'0IIS TIME FOR MIINICPAI,
IMPROVEMENTS OF ALL kiNhS.

The recent strong improvement
in the marker for municipal securi-
ties should be taken advantage of
promptly by Southern communities
which are contemplating the issu-
ing of bonds for public work. A
Vast amount of county, city and
municipal improvements of every
kind is needed in the South. for
which bonds must be issued. At
the present time there is better
market for such securities, and CO.
incident with this ability to get
money there is a surplus of labor
avilable, and manufacturers of ma
chinery and equipment are in po-
sition to fill orders to better advant-
age than would be possible if all
business interests were active, The
condition therefore. is exceptionally
favorable for the prosecution of
public work.
Throughout all parts of the South
and Southwest roads are to be built
new streets made and old street,
improved, sewerage systems and
Waterw0rks are to be constructed
or enlarged, and public buildings
erected. While it is desirable, and
often important, that public build
ings should be ornate and in keep
ing with the life of the community
it is especially important that they
should be absolutely fireproof. Ev-
cry court house and every city hall
ought to be so well constructee as
to make thoroughly SAFE public rec
Ords of all kinds. These things are
important. But the construction of
the most modern sewerage systems,
and of water-works to guarantee an
ample supply ofpure water, and the
building of good roads and the
paving of streets and alleys are
even more important. These all
take hold of the essential things

is no greater economic wastefulness

with the most serious nomination con-
test since President Wilson took office,
the Senate sat throughout today's
session behind closed doors discussing

Then a recess was taken in order to

Democratic leaders consulted after

supersede this agreement with one
to vote on re-eommitting the nomina-

avoid any possible embarrassment of
