Speridon owns the watch, and al
leges that Alfred. the little son of Mrs.
Rose Frazer, who has been working
in the restaurant, took the watch from
the owners dresser a few days ago.
Later the boy told Mrs. Speridon he
had the watch. When Speridon de-
manded the watch. the boy said he
didn't have it, that he had lost it down
by the elevator" Later he said Bill
LaPlant, who operates a dray line, had
taken the watch from him. Warrants
were issued for the arrest of both the

ATTOCRACY OF THE BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS.

If it was ever intended, at the time
the law was passed under which
boards of works of the second class
are organized, % invest in such boards
the power of arrogance, someone
must have Numbered. Up to the
present time we had supposed that
the law merely intended to vest in the
board a mere power of independence.
If complaints voiced against the pres
the common council at their meeting
Monday night, count for anything, it
would seem that this preferred indie
pendence has developed into sort of
oligarchy.
We bave commented upon this
same indisposition of the board to re-
gard the wishes of the council
men at least, on several occasions be-
fore. Then it was only the democratic
members of the council that were be-
ing snubbed. We are glad to note
that the citizen" members are also
beginning to feel the sting. Maybe
this viii serve to bring the little au-
tOcratic body to its senses,
For be it remembered that the COM
mon council is elected by the people.
It's members are directly responsible
to the people. While perhaps they
cannot compel the board of works to
do a thing, they are the representa-
tives Of the people, and are entitled to
a courteous hearing. The board of
works is constituted merely of favors
shown by Mayor Keller. perhaps in
return for political support, or per-
haps not, but at the most they are
merely his proxies. 1t occurs to us
that perhaps the mayor might see TO
it that some Of the autocracy of these
official creatures of his be overrule d.
The people still have some rights that
Mayor Keller and his boards ought to
be bound TO respecs.
A resolution from the common
council regarding a public improve
ment. or a public necessity. comes as
nearly from the people as representa-
tive government ordinarily affoI ds
and we thought that our citizen" ad-
ministratiOn was to serve the people.

THE COST OF RENE.

The editor noticed this week in an
exchange. a pathetic plea, evidently
signed by some man who was out Of
work. for some kind of employment.
The writer thereof said that the cost
OF rent had so increased as TO prevent
working people from accommodating
any savings for use in such need as
has resulted this winter from the Eu-
ropean war.
In many places the landlord must
now pay twice as much as formerly to
get a house painted. Plumbing.
papering, and mason work are sim
ilarly costly. 1t is only TO be expected
that the mechanic should now be ask
ed TO pay a largely increased rent bill.
Social economics must give great
deal Of thought TO the question of how
a comfortable home can be provided
working people at a moderate cost.
y man working on SIS a week ought
not TO have TO pay more than So a
month for rent Yet the letter refer
red 10 stated that the writer thereof
earned but SIP n week i'm good times,
yet had 10 pay SIS a month for his
rent.
In many places cheap wood three
decker tenements are the favorite
means OF housing work people mex
pensively. These are often OF the
most fiimsy construction. and may
constitute a fire risk and also injure
the appearance OF a city. Some social
reformers say the solution is 10 be
found in blocks OF connected houses.
Possibly this is the case. though it
reduces light, air, and comfort 10 an
extent that. seems needless except in
the larger places.
II people would acquire the habit
OF living farther in the outskirts OF a
town. and depend more on walking to
work and sociN pleasures they should
be able 10 balance the higher cost OF
building by the loves cost OF land.
