practiced extortion upon their customers.
Councilman Hall, who introduced the in
quiry program, declares that residents OF
Oak Lane are paying as much as 81 month
for water in story dwellings, whereas
for the same supply the charge Of the city
would be only about $18 year.
1t is probable that an increase. in the tax
rate from the suburban to full city rate
would follow the elimination of the private
water companies from the territory Of Phtle-
delphia County, but unlikely that the higher
levy would leave no margin Of financial gain.
Naturally, the water companies have made
the most Of their monopolies. It is equally
logical for the city to protect its residents
by furnishing them with water at reasonable
rates.
The old distinctions between the built-up
central portions of Philadelphia and the
suburban fringe are being rapidly efaced.
The change should be accompanied by an
Identical municipal water service through
out the whole county

HEADED IN TIE RIGHT WAY

TVIIE criticism TO which the financial Off
J. GERS Of the City Administration were sub
iected Mt the time of the sale Of a block Of
fifty year Ji2 per cent bonds has borne
fruit.
1t was charged then that It was wasteful
10 obiigate the city % pay interest at that
rate for fifty years, and it was asserted that
there should have been reserved the right
to redeem the bonds at the expiration OF
twenty years or less.
The bonds for which bids were opened
yesterday were in two groups. One group
was for fifty years, with the city's option
Of redemption in twenty years: and the
other group was for fifteen years. The
interest offered was 81 per cent. The city
can reduce its interest obligations by refund
Ing this tftyycar loan at Il lower rate in
twenty years.
syndicate offered to take tho whole issue
Of S12 $40 600 at 1O3. 800 This would yield
to the city premium Of $4303T0.6O. Or,
20 put it in other words. the city will get
more than S43O. 900 in excess Of the amount
which it desired to borrow. This means that
the city offered more than the market value
Of money. That value is not 5.2J per cent,
but only 5.04 per cent.
The question arises at once. what Is to be
done with the extra $3.50. 900? 1t is bor-
rowed money. The custom in the past has
been to put the proceeds from premiums on
bond issues into the current funds and to
use them for current expenses. That was
done with the premiums from the last bond
sale.
The Charter. however. forbids the city
to borrow money for current expenses.
The Controller and the City Solicitor will
have to decide what legal disposition can
Be made of this sum.
In the meantime. it is desirable that the
financial officers of the city should consider
the wisdom of adopting n wiser policy. The
city needed only Sl2 ,GJ9. 500 It will re-
ceive S13 .O90 1860. II it had followed
the New Jersey practice and advertised that
it wished to borrow SO 6J9. 500 and would
issue the bonds at 5lt per cent to the
bidder who would pay that amount for the
smallest number of bonds. it world have
to issue bonds for only a little more than
S12, 600, 900 and would have mortgagcd the
debt contracting power to only that extent,
and it would have saved something like
$50, 900 year in interest.
This result could be accomplished By a
reservation Of the right of the city to deliver
only so many bonds at the price offered by
the bidder as would net to it the sum which
II wished to borrow. This is what a private
business man would do who wished to con-
serve his resources and keep his debt Obl-
cations as low as possible. It is not too
much to expect that the city will ultimately
adopt this policy.

THE SOUTH APPROVES

THE earnest tone Of Mr. IIarding's
L birmingham address upon the race prob
lem is re echoed in the comment Of the most
influential Southern newspapers. The few
editors who resent interference by North
erner in a social and political question Pc
culiarly affecting one section OF the country
cling narrowly to an old and obstructive
convention.
The spirit Of broader Americanism Is
sraspcd by the Charleston News and Cour-
Ter, which believes that the effect Of the
speech Twill be wholesome'; by the Bir-
mingham News, which calls it wonderfully
courageous: and by the Baltimore Eve
ming Sun, which regards It as fortunate
for the country that the Republican Presl-
dent has officially discarded the old policy
and has come to look at facts from the
patriotic and commonSense standpoint
Journalistic voices such as these testify to
the wisdom Of the President in speaking
frankly and tend to support his obvious be-
lief that the time for treating with candor
a theme once regarded as of perilous delicacy
has arrived.
In Atlanta yesterday Mr.. Harding touched
indirectly upon the same subject. empha-
sizing the value of the distinguished services
of Henry w. Grady as an indefatigablc con-
ciliator with n broad conception of the
cause of national unity.
In some quarters the suspicion has been
expressed that Mr.. Harding is seeking TO
rehablitate the Republican Party in the
South. The intention, if it exists, Is not
necessarily reprehensble as a byproduct'
of new program grounded in large and
intelligent sympathies calculated to efface
outmodcd barriers of scctionalism.
Mr.. Harding has chGmpioned n wider
diffusion of political opinion throughout the
country. There is much less of rigid parti
sanship in this sentiment than Of antagonism
TO moss grown prejudices in States North
and South alike initiating against the most
desirable forces Of national cohesion.
Mr.. Harding has thoughtfully aualyzed a
case bristling with difficulties. These are
rendered not a whit less perplexing by an
aversion to facing them-a fact shown to
be in accord with the best Southern opinion.
