After watching very carefully
for some time the different de
partments of city work, we have
come to the conclusion that the
best thing that the city can do is
to put out its street, and other
work by contract, as it will save
immensely by the operation. We
are not alone in this opinion.
Again, we state, it is no man we
are after now, but a child can see
that there are leaks in the system,
and that a contractor could got a
great deal more work done than
can the city. This is but reasona
ble, as the city will not push its
employees, like a contractor will.
We are opposed also to municipal
ownership of any public utility;
as will undoubtedly be proven by
the now light system which is to
be installed, and responsibility
vested in a private corporation.
Yon can see all this as well as we
do, but fail of aotion.
