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.
rn
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.

Young women entering ugm the
