WATER AND sswsns coMM1ssIoN.

There appears to be no room for doubt

than the terrn of ofiice of the three Com~ missioners of Water Supply and Sewers

has expired and that an entire new j Board must this year be elected in the manner proscribed by law. The duties oi the new Board will bo less onerous than

in some previous years when hrst the construction of water works and more rc-

cently of the sewerage system was going or, but will still be important. We are

water supply and sewers should remain vested ina Commission. rather than be brouaht under direct control of the City Council. or three members of that body as has been proposed. The experience of other cities confirms the view that the control of the water and sewers can be most satisfactorilyercrcised apart from other civic affairs, ani disconnected from the minipulutions and “log-rolling" of City politics.

The present election of Commissioners

iictmplicated somewhat by thelldefault of the late Accountant of the IBoard. It is worthy of note that no person has ventured to impeach ithe honesty of any member of the Board, but; many have

criticised them on the score :ofjalleged want of watchfulness and oversight. One or more of the Coininissionersilhave claimed credit- for being the first to dis- cover the default. It would have been

much more praisaworthy had such

The attempt by a dealer to sell hi!

customers substitute in place ot the-article the buyer calls for nt once places that dealer under the ban of suspicion. Thi only reason why the buyer does not in- variably realize the suspioiousness of

probably because in many cases the money transaction involved is so small that it does not suggest the motive for fraud. Suppose a jewler ndverties a diamond at $.;0.0C. He places it in his window. A would be buyer enters the store and asks for this particular diamond. But U10 jeweler says, “I can gi" !°U that diamond if you want it. b\1thPl°°'° another that°s just as good as the one advertised.” The buyer's ,suspicions y woiiid be aroused at once, He wouli insist on the stone in the window;

s‘ rongly ol the opinion that the control of 'and he`d keep an eye on it to see it

wasn‘t changed. But in- the case of a fifty-cent transaction it is different. The buyer often accepts the substitute which is offered as “J “Sli *S 80011" 33 I 'wily advertised article. although a substitution is just as suspicious in a titty-cent trans- action as in one involving iltty dollars.

Look at. the question from another

point of view. A sale of stock is adver- tised. There are horses with pedigree! and records to be sold. Farmer Bsown attends the sale with the purpose ot bu!- ing one ot these good horses. But the seller says to him. "That horse you want y is a good horse, or course, but I‘ve goo :I another here that is jastas good which rd like to sell rw-”

“Has he just as good a pedigree T’

` “Weil no, he hasn‘t any pedigree to speak ot.”

°"IIas he any record T’ “Well no, we never held n watch on

him that I know oi, but he’s just as good'

l as the horse you want."

Would Farmer Brown buy the “just

` as good" horse i The question answers itself. And yet this same farmer will

| allow himself to be swindled time and

again by accepting “just as good" articles in place of those he called ior.'l'he article

siouers t_h.it they had :discovered the irregularities when they first: occurred, instead of after they had been going cn for years; better stillhad they been alto-

gether prevented. It seemslstiil to be necessary that the full amount of the losses shall be unearthed, and to this end there ought to be a thorough and search-

ingiuvestigation of all accounts during

currcd.

the interest of the ratepapers may ire said to lnu e been protected by the benr`s ofthe late Acsofiutant for $i,().l) and the

bonds furnished by e:tch.cf :the Commis- sioners for $1U.lI;l1l. These bonds must not be considered a mere matter of form. They obligate the Commissioners to the

exercise of the greatest care and diligence in protecting the ratepayers against losses by default, waste or negligence. , No doubt what has been recently disclosed

will furnish a strong incentive to greater care and more diligent supervision by the Board in the future, whether the late Commissioners, or any of them are re- elected, or partly, or entirely new men be

chosen. _

Ins electinga new Board of Commis-

isioners the civic electors will obviously

their votes for men of approved honesty, capacity and diligence. A knowledge oi book-keeping and of the best manner of conducting an important public trust are also essential. Party politics ought to be

premises, and the result should be deter ~

mined wholly on the grounds of personal

fitness for the positions to be filled. I_f these considerations are kept in mind by the electors the result ought to be the selection of three Commissioners who

will faithfully discharge their trust and give a good account of themselves in the years to come.
