COAL COMMISSIONS REPORT

The T. S. Coal Commission has
made preliminary! report on the coal
sit alton, to be followed by a COM
plete report later. Whatever of sue
cess may attend this effort will re-
main for demonstration in the COM
plete report. The preliminary report
announces that no satisfactory agree
ment as to wage rates and no lasting
peace are possible unless methods
shall be adopted for providing stead
Ter employment; also that there may
be no satisfactory solution of the
transportation problem as long as the
railroads are subjected to peak loads
when agriculture and industry are at
thei. height.
These things have been quite gen.
orally understood for some time. The
report only serves to confirm these
facts already virtually accepted. The
conclusion of the commission that
there has been profiteering in the way
Of taking eXOrbitant profits is also
confirmatory of prevailing he ief but
it says the investigation along this
line is to be continued There doubt
less will be some who will remain ap-
prehensive that the practise of
proffteering. also will be continued.
Another conclusion the commission
has arrived at is that the RESPONSE
bility for settling disputes rests
primarily on the industry.

REPORT OF THE CITY TREAS
lIRER

The report of the retiring City
Treasurer, Wilbert S. Wilson, merits
the attention of the voters. 1t con-
tains information obtained by much
painstaking effort. The matter OF
tax deeds kas\ been cleared up. some
thing real estate buyers should ap-
preciate, and from data he has COL
lected it has been possible to charge
off the books accounts which have
numbered them up for years to no
good purpose. Some $4,000 was
charged off last year in addition to
what was charged off the previous
Year.
This work has been tedious and
exacting, but if the record is to be
kept clear it should be efficiently
continued. AS an illustration a case
is cited of a piece of land actually in
the town of Sidney but which was
taxed in Augusta in 1892, and another
the owner of which could not be
found but was supposed to be living
in another state. After much work
the property is finally traced to the
Present owner.
The report shows that the last ad-
ministration went out of office leav-
ing in the treasury over 5000 surplus
net, with outstanding bills amounting
\ to only $l4OO. 1t is a good record.
It will be profitable to the city to
have it continued.

Paris Streets
Named for Americans

Paris, Dec. 2S.-The participation of
the American expeditionary Force in
the European war will be duly COM
memorated in the nomenclature of
the streets of Paris.
The municipal council soon will re-
sumo the task of remaining some 200
of the city's thoroughfares and, ac-
cording to the French custom, the
leading figures of the war will be
freely honored.
Thus far only General Gallieni, the
defender of Paris, Guynemer, the
Ace of Aces" in aviation, and Colonel
Bonnet. who distinguished himself at
scissors. have been honored. Cen
eral PershinS was on the list that
was under consideration when the
work was suspended on account of
objections to the abolition of old
names because of sentimental or his
torical reasons. Pershing, Clemen-
ceau. Foch and other leaders are on
the new list, however.
There still remains score Of
streets in Paris with German and
Austrian names that may never be
changed. Included are the rues Bee
thoven, Gluck, Meyorbeer, Richard
Wagner, Mozart, and Palatine, the
rue de Vienne and the Place Buda
pest. Streets that recall great Ger
man musicians and poets probably
Will be left unchanged. 1t has been
decided to rechristen all streets that
were named after the owners of the
property through which they were
originally cut. In addition there will
be a hundred and fifty new streets
opened in consequence of the demoli :
ton of the city Notifications, which
will furnish ample opportunity to
honor the greatest heroes of the war.
Paris. streets and squares with
American names at present are
Avenue President Wilson, rues Lin
coin, Franklin. Louisiana and Wash
lnston, and the Place des Flats Unis.
