Business at the City Hall HERE can be no question as to the advisability of the acceptafice by the Board of Public Works of the sug- THE “LET-ME-DO.-IT BILL” He Simply HAS to Meddle gestions laid before them on Saturday by Superintendents Ober and Case, that the city do business in a business way 3 by purchasing materials in large quantities instead of in small) lots. . The surprising thing about the Ober-Case suggestion is the information that the city has not always been doing what these gentlemen now suggest i } The city of Seattle used 300,000 barrels of cement in a) given period. S : They bought it in small lots, just as it was required for each individual job, and paid $1.80 per barrel : The government purchased for use on the Lake Wash- ington canal 200,000 barrels of cement They bought it in one lot and paid $1.49 per barrel ’ Had the people who are supposed to look after our affairs | at the city hall used the same judgment they display in their! private affairs, the city could have saved, in the purchase of | this cement, the sum of $90,000. And cement isn’t the only thing the city buys. What of the quantities of lumber and sand and gravel used each year? According to Ober and Case, the same system of pur- chasing prevails as appears in the cement deal. é And while the city's money is being thrown away by this almost criminal system, the council is busily engaged in holding down the police and fire departments, and in pruning the estimates of all of the other departments of the city Perhaps if the city would do its business in a purely business way, there would not be need for such strict economy in the police and other departments.

The Best Time of Life VERY little while there comes to the surface an enthu- siast with a dream like that which lured the Spaniards when America was young—the dream of perpetual youth. The latest was a Westerner who promised himself, by, reason of a certain regime of diet and exercise, a life span of at least 200 years, with a sneaking hope of eternity. ee ‘ar be it from us to belittle the importance of living @refully, and long. But why put so much emphasis on youth, | ds if only the morning of life were worth living? Don’t you suppose that white-bearded grandpa, snoozing on the porch in the shade, or watching the infants play, has as much fun out of life as the giddiest lad or maiden? To be sure, it’s of a different kind, which happily is one) of nature’s ways of insuring interesting variety But, his rough work done, as the sun slowly goes to meet the farle horizon, he lives anew in the young life about him and, out} of passion’s ashes, builds a ripe philosophy Every time in life is a good time to be alive, for always you can feel, see and learn. Were not at all convinced that ripe old age isn’t the best estate of all; for then the heart is mellowed, the mind matured and the spirit seasoned, while in the treasury of memory are stored innumerable joys, “the better for the enchantment which distance lends.

BUSINESS MAN, do you kn4w that when the Seattle Electric Co. refuses to sell tickets upon its street cars, that the people of the city of Seattle are forced to pay for car fare approximately $150,000 per year more than they otherwise would?
