ably the MOST completely equipped
aviation centre we constructed was
hat at Pauillac, France, under the
command of Captain f. 7. Evans; here
we constructed accommodations for
10000 men; we had here what would
nave eventually been a great airplane
factory; had the war continued six
months longer, we would have been
turning out planes in this place on q
scale large enough to supply our needs.
Other Centers.
Another great adventure was the es-
adjustment OF our Northern Bombing
Group. under the command of Captain
David G. Hanrahan; here we had liz
planes, 305 officers and 2,239 men, who
devoted all their attention to bombing
he German submarine bases at Zee
brugge and Ostend. In response to the
representations OF the Italians, we
completed all our plans for building
two great aviation bases on the east
coast Of Italy to attack the Austrian
naval bases. but the surrender of Aus
tria put an end to this enterprise.

BEAUTY AND THE PAST

THAT the upper Wissahickon is something
l. more than n hypothetical haven for
devotees of carriage riding and horseman-
ship was demonstrated today when Mayor
Moore's second expedition" of citizens
enlivened one of the lovelest ravines in
America.
The committee in charge of the excursion
particularly insisted on the value of fore
stalling any possibility Of opening the shady
roadway to automobiles. But such fears are
hardly justified. The weight of sentiment
in Philadelphia is certainly in favor of main
tainng the present restrictions. The field
OF the motorists opportunities is broad in
deed.
The upper Wssahickon occupies a pc
culiar place in the affections of this COM
munity. Not even parades of horse drawn
vehicles are needed to test the worth Of the
present arrangement. The charms of soli-
tude are fast evaporating from tumultu-
GUS planet. There are still times when the
philosophical pedestrian can imbibe them
along the leisurely Wissahickon.
This is not to say that blithe expeditions
of horse enthusiasts are unwelcome. AS time
goes on they will not only be inspiriting, as
they are today, but of signal historic appeal.
For an insight into some of the manners and
customs of the good old days" inQuiring
travellers will have to include Philadelphia
in their itinerary.

PRACTICAL REFORM

THE merger of the Bureau Of Highways
= and the Bureau of Street Cleaning, as
authorized in an ordinance just signed by
Mayor Moore, is an encouraging step in
administrative reform.
The government of Philadelphia is par
ticularly afflicted with the blight of over
tapping or conflicting departments. Custom
born of conditions no longer existing, con
servatve tradition and sometimes simple
inertia have long needlessly complicated mu-
nicipal affairs.
The fusion of the two bureaus so closely
allied in their functions is especially to be
Endorsed just now when the city is pre-
pairing to embark on its own street cleaning
venture. The fruits of this limited enter
prise will depend very largely upon efficient
organization. If the work is well handled
the doom Of the contractor system NAV be-
sealed.
The now move, moreover. admirably CO.
incides with the spirit Of the charter. which
is emphatically directed toward Il smplifica-
tiOn of administrative methods and the de-
structiOn of Outworn technicalitirs. There
is need for much moro consolidation of this
sort in the City Hall Offices
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-10-23
HARMONY VS.. THE CHARTER

IT Is not altogether surprising that City
4 Hall reports tell of mysterious tip
received by otficeholdCrs under the Moore
administration, to the effect that Alliance
leaders will not be displcascd if they make
voluntary contributions to the treasury of
the Ware city committee. This is only symp-
tomato of a certain sort of harmony in local
organization politics-harmony which is u
sweet concord of jingling coin.
1t is surprising, however. that the cur
rent harmony talk should be seized upon
so quickly as an excuse for a covert and yet
bold attack on the spirit of the city charter
For, despite the technical arguments Of
lawyers, the new city charter specifically
intended that political contributions should
not be exacted of any city employe.
The "tip' in question was not passed
along, apparently, to policemen and tiremcn.
The penalties and provisions of the charter.
so far as this special class of city employees
is concerned, are too specific to be regarded
lightly by even the most daring disciples Of
the gospel of harmony.
As for other city employees. the situation
urges that the Legislature. when considering
amendments to the charter. rcwrite the sec
tion dealing with the question of assessments
or contributions.
Section 23 is inadequate in that it says
only that no city officer or cmploye "shall
directly or indirectly demand solicit, collect
or receive" political assessments. This
language, it would seem. does not prohibit
an employe, other than policeman or fire.
man, from contributing"
Section 23 contains further stipulation
to the effect that no employe shall be "in
any manner concerned in demanding, So
liciting, collecting or receiving political as
easements. 1t is hardly likely that the law
can be stretched so that the officehOlder who
makes contribution can be charged with
being concerned" in demanding or solicit
ing a contribution.
The language of the charter in this re-
spect needs TO be rewritten. clarified and
strengthened Meanwhile, it is certain that
any city cmploye who chooses to ignore the
tip may feel entirely safe in his position.
Harmony may succeed in getting money ::
the Moore administration gives promise of
making it fail in getting jobs"
