A reference to the census bureaus
report will show that it includes
items under the caption OF "High-
ways" none of which Bismarck APP
parently is called upon to meet in
the way of expenses. These are
snow and ice removal, waterways,
and other structures as bridges.
Any one who has been in New York
or some other large city will realize
the very large amount which that
SiIy Is Sdlleu upon 10 pay 1Of snow
removal. Another item which may
be reflected in the per capita of
other communities is "repair ans,
construction for compensation" and
which is not included in Bismarck's
per capita figure. For these reasons,
thorough examination of the oper-
ations of the departments of this
city under whose jurisdiction come
the functions comprchended under
the title of "Highways" as fixed by
the census bureau may disclose
many ways Of effecting reduction
in costs.
As far as costs 60 for street light
ing in this state the rates are fixed
by the railroad commission and be-
yond the control Of the city com
mission.
The heavy street cost in Bismarck
comes from the expensive street
cleaning and maintenance depart

this item seems excessive.
