PERMANENT IMPROVEMENTS


 The fact that the policy of paying for permanent improvements by issu-
 ing bonds therefor appeals 10 most of ls as the businesslike way of con ductirg the city's affairs. should not prevent our seeing that there is an other side to the question. Without in the slightest degree changing our at titude, which agrees with that of the chairman of the board Of finance and taxation and the mayor, it is wise to call attention to the case of the water board, for instance. @
 The chairman of the board of finance and taxation has reason to be- lieve that bond issue would be al lowed for s110.0OO. the cost of the Torestvile pumping station, which amount has ben paid by the water board out of current receipts. As the future residents of the city as well as those living here now will receive the benefit of this pumping station, it would seem that they should share its cost with the present taxpayers This would be the case were a bond issue to be made covering this amount. And so with other permanent improve ments.
 On the other hand it is claimed by one water commissioner at least, that the present low rates are the result of the policy of paying for improve monts, where possible, out Of current revenues: that paying for improve ments out of the proceeds Of bonds would bring extremely high water rentals in a few years. He believes that if the city had adopted the policy Of paying for improvements out Of bond issues, in the early days of the water development, the present rentals would be much higher than they are today
 All this may be quite true-quite as true as was the statement made here recently that the city passed through a period not long ago when it was even in the opinion Of the financial advisers Of the city opposed to paying running expenses out of bond issues, to issue bonds for pur- poses which would not have justified bond issues in ordinary times, One may believe that in the "carly stages" of water development here il was wise to pay for them out Of current rec i ceipts, just as it was necessary to is- ! sue bonds for other payments quite . recently and still hold to the opinion that the time has now come in water development. as it has come in those other matters Of expense. when the wise business policy Of pay ing for permanent improvements out of bond issues, and paying running ex- pcnses out Of current revenues, may be adopted. And emphasis should be laid on the necessity or reducing the burrcn of tod4y's aNatlon. This bond ssuc, it is believed, would accomplish his.

WHAT TT k ALL ABOUT

With all tho discussion of the oil
 scandal few people know exactly just
 what questions ar" involved. Briefly.
 there are three Of them. namely:
 Were government officials bribed or
 was there fraud in leasing these gov
 ernmentaI oil properties to the De-
 lreny interests: are the leases ad-
 vantaGeous to the government, and
 are the leases legal?
 On tho first question the facts ap-
 pear to bc that Dohony lent Fall then
 Secretary Of the Interior, slO0.o00
 about year before the nohcny in-
 terests got the final contract, and Sin
 clair lent Fall s25. 900 about two years
 after government property was leased
 to Sinclair, and four months after Fall had left the cabinet. The weight Of evidence on this point. therefore. seems to be that Fall did violate his government trust and there was fraud or bribery in connection with the leases.
 Opinions differ as to whether or the leases are advantageous to the government, Some believe the oil should have been left in the ground until needed by the Navy. Others say that the oil on the government pro- perty was being drained from it by nearby wells and, therefore. it was wise for the government to lease the property. or do the work itself at a tremendous cost. and get the oil out of it's ground, giving the private in- terests which did the work a share of the oil as payment for doing that work, the government retaining only a certain part of its oil.
 There is a dispute as to whether or not the oil was. in fact, being drained out Of government land. There is dispute. also, as to whether the Sin clair and Dohony interests were given too much of the oil taken from the government property in payment for the work they did. The government under the leases will get about l,666,- 666 barrels Of oil. and the private parties will get the difference between that figure and about 26,0o0,000 bar i rols or oil now left in the government as payment for their work Of removing the oil which involves drilling the wells, refining the oil i transporting it and building oil stor- ! age tanks which belong to the gov crnmrnt Secretary Denby believes the l interests are not getting too much for work they do. while others think the share is too small. If the 1 leases are cancelled the government may lose money: then again it may not. But il is certain no politician will . dare oppose the cancellation Of the eases. The people would kill his po- itical future were he 10 do so.
 The question Of the legality of the cases is one for tho courts alone The aw gave the Secretary Of the Navy general powers over these properties. That was during the Wilson admins ration. and the language of the act g not easily interpreted If the secrc- ary Of the Navy had power 10 dele- rate that authority to the Secretary ,f the Interior. or if the president ,ould give that power--which was lone before the leases were signcd-- hen the leases are legal, otherwise 1ot. The matter is not as simple as tt first appears.
