It is sim- ple, feasible and inexpensive and worthy of a fair trial. B.

Nephew Gets Estate. : By her will, dated October 5, 1868, which has been filed for probate, the late Amy Fish bequeathed her entire estate to her nephew, Edward T. Fletcher, who is named In Oldham, 1 gland, they burn their gar- bage, and with the waste heat generate steam in a nest of large boilers and sell the power to manufacturers, thereby adding a considerable sum to the annual revenues of the city, By a pian recently devised, the electric company of Toledo, Ohio, uses its exhaust steata to heat water with which 200 build- s are heated. It has been in operation s proved so succe: has been organ! elsewhere. it must be to be ed, t think what a luxu id of the house fur or boiler, with fts voal, ashes and dust, and be able to turn on the heat when wanted, just as one turns on the electric light, without labor or eare, other than the opening of a single valve If all the larger steam plants in the city were thus utilized the steam that now goes to waste would heat a large portion of our dwellings, and add largely to the revenues of the companies overating the plants. It is strange that the companies have not seen how they migit thus add to their in- come. In Springfield, UL, the electric light company uses the exhaust steam for heat- ing buildings direct; but as 1 engines of electric plants do not run uniformly throughout the twenty-four hours, there being much less demand for electricity during the daytime than at night, the hot water plan uscd at Toledo is considered much better. Because of the irregular work of the bollers and engines in electric plants, they, much more than others, need additional employment. They must have the plant necessary for the largest output demanded; and as during a large portion of the twen- ty-four hours only ® portion of it can be used, they get but a partial return upon the Capital invested, and hence the neces- sity for employing it otherwise during those hours in which it now is but partially used. ‘Another means for thus utilizing electric plants fs in operating an ice plant for the manufacture of artificial ice. The fact is, we Americans are the most wasteful people in the world, notwithstand- ing all that Is said about the shrewdness and sharpness of the Yankee nation or peo- ple. In municipal affairs we are a long way behind European cities, espectally those of Great Britain and Germany. There the municipalities own and run their own plants, garbage, gas and clectrie lights, street cleaning and paving, and, in many, the street railroads also; while with us all these things are done by corporations who generally pay nothing for their valuable franchises, and cont#ibute but little to the municipal revenues, @r by contractors who pocket large profits: and contribute still less to the city revenues. This condition of iaffairs is due to two causes—first, the demagogue cry against what is called “paternalism’—as though governments were designed for the benefit of special classes, imstead of for the gen- eral public: and, second, .the control of mu- niclpal legislation by-corporations and con- tractors. That the city can de itsown work cheaper and better has been so clearly demon- strated by the street sweeping operations of the past year that there would seem to be no room for doubt om that point. ‘The national capital owght to set an ex- ample in these respects that other cities would be glad ta copy. No doubt the time will come when thee will be a vast im- provement in our municipal affairs in these respects: but why should we not avail our- selves now of the experience of European cities, instead of waiting for years before doing it? Why not? December 1, 1898. OBSERVER. Pays the Penalty. Eliza Harris, colored, who has a home in Willow Tree-alley, was before Judge Kim- ball today, charged with keeping a dis- reputable house.
