else of interest, daily newspapers
|traditonally fall back on exposes
of the garbage situation with
realistic photographs. Blame for
these disease breeding conditions
must fall on the aldermen, the
mayor and absentee landlords
whose interests. are concentrated
on getting all the rent they can
while spending as little as pos
sible. Tenants must spur city Of
ficials into seeing that alleys and
streets are kept clean. Election
year Is the time TO obtain definite
commitments on these vital mat
tiers.
!. CHICAGO is justifiably proud
of its, parks and Fairgrounds,
yet there are sections of the city,
particularly where live people OF
low income, with totally made
ouate facilities. Without planned
and supervised recreation, chill
dren must play in dangerous
streets and adults depend on the
|neighborhood taverns. An ln1rne-
date and a long range program
for city-wide leisure time activi-
ties easily accessible to all must
be worked out.
The Windy City lags far be-
hind in education due in large
measure to the undemecratic
structure at the; top centered-
around the Board of Education
headed by James B. McCahey.
The entire system is in serious
need of overhauling. Chicago
schools are political football

Two-shift schools, particularly
on the South Side, give made

overwork the teachers, most Of

tive active trade unionists, face
deportation proceedings. City or
dinances outlawing hate litera-
ture and discrimination would go
far toward remedying these con-
ditions.
Of daily interest to all is the
tired transportation system. Chi
cagoans additionally get inferior
service for higher fares than
those paid in New York. After
decades of promises, the city
finally has an embryo subway.
But the rolling stock remains
largely antiquated with some of
it, particularly the wooden
coaches, frankly dangerous. Most
Of the street cars are refugees
from a museum and many sec
tons of the city are utterly de-
void of speedy transportation.
Chicago should take over and
completely modernize the entire
system as a necessary public
service and cut fares to the mini
mum necessary for efficient OPP

Public utilities, too, need strict
supervision. Gas and electric
rates are eXorbitant with the
prospect of going even higher.
Chicagoans must insist that they
be held in check and, if possible,
revised downward by the city
administration.

Police action at the recent All

Police are also far from blame

Benson was speaking on the eve
of the opening OF bids on some
$525, 900 Of new construction, the
bulk Of it in the lately-annexeo
city areas.
High bids by private contractor
have previously frustrated the
city's attempts to let contracts fol
installation of water and sewer
pipe, and today's bid opening is ex'
pected to provide something like
final answer to whether the city
can carry out the program though
private agencies.
Financially, Wilmington is func'
tioning at close quarters, but there
are at least two Facts that need tc
be mentioned in any current dis
cussion of its fiscal picture.
The city's long-run position is sc
sound that it is one OF the only Two
North Carolina municipalities
whose bonds are accepted by the
banks of New York for trust
estates.
What is more. it is continuing tc
expand its facilities in the face o.
soaring contractors costs which
have stymied most other cities.
The International City Managers
Association reported Saturday that
in a survey Of seventeen leading
municipalities nearly all reported
curtailed construction because ,o1
nearly 100 per cent increases In
building costs.
Muskegon. Mich. for example,
has suspended work on a sewage
disposal plant after finding that
the project would cost 5000. 900 as
against original estimates Of $780,
900.
Bartle sville. Okla, is facing
water rationing next spring be-
cause it could not meet the costs
of a new pumping station.
High Point was reported oy the
city managers group to have cur,
tailed an ambitious public works
program.
And, even with curtailed con
struction, seven of the II cities
surveyed have raised taxes this
year. The association reported that
at least three others had increased
their revenues by higher property
valuations.
