The primary object of the bills was to keep
the opposition divided, to prevent real fusion
and put technical barriers in the way Of a
popular uprising. The Governor, who really
believes in democratic government and is not
hypoorite, was quick to see how utterly in
defensible these measures were. He kicked
them into the trash pile, where they be-
longed and where they are likely to stay.

Saving a Million a Year
The signing of the consolidated loan bill
by Governor Brumbaugh a fortnight ago
completes a series of economies for which
Captain Walton has strven for years. 1t fills
out scheme of savings which total nearly
$1,O0O0 900 year. Two years ago he set about
q reolassifcation of the citys sinking fund
and the reserves required to meet the funded
debt at maturity. AS q result of this study
he has been able to effect an annual saving
of s539,226S7, by reducing the payments from
the general fund to the sinking fund by that
amount. He found as a result of the much
higher returns upon the sinking funds in
vestments in city loans over those of some
years ago that a large surplus had been
accumulated in the sinking fund and was ly-
ing idle there Another large saving has
been in the slowing up of the sale of loans
and the consequent reduction of the very
large cash balances carried in the city treas
ury.
Inc act Oh Assembly OIL June "a, 1919, Induo
1t lawful for appropriations to be made, con-
tracts entered into and work to be done on
loans without awaiting the issue of the
loans This made it possible to inaugurate
the practice of deferring the actual sale of
loans until near the time that the money
was needed. Walton was thus enabled to
effect an annual saving of $19O0O0. The act
approved this month creates consolidated
loan fund and permits the temporary use OF
loan moneys in the treasury belonging to one
loan for paying warrants drawn against
another loan. This act will effect a further
saving OF at least 100000, making total
saving of SSS0.O00 by these changes in the,
method of administering treasury balances OF
loan moneys. Adding this to the $5S3, ,226s7
we have a total annual saving of $913, ,2262Z
In some future years these changes will eff
feet savings much greater than this sum, as
when an important piece of public work re-
quiring large loans is contemplated such as
the work covered by the s16,OOO,OOO loan Of
1904 and the $135OO,OOO loan of 1907, the pro-
cedure described can be followed, while under
the old method the whole amount of the loan
would have to be sold before work could be
begun. In the future, portions of loans need
only be sold as money is required to make
payments.
Captalizing the annual savings effected
under the present Controller at per cent,
they represent a sum amounting to about
25OOO,OOO

There's velvet stir in the darkening gloam.
And heaYe OF the drowsy sea,
And a white-lipped wave from her coral hons
With a whisper OF mystery
And the realm Of the deep is hushed in sleep,
