'It haa been the fashion until lately at least." said he, "to believe that municipal governments represent our most oonapecW' ous failures In ad ministrations and to utter lamentations that munldpalltlee are not i like business corporations. I firmly believe that American cities are now beins; administered snore honestly than moat cor Dotations and will offer the prophesy with confidence that within a lew years suck- holders of corporations will look to the cities as models.

"Certainly cities win not look to corpora tions as models as long as Directors are permitted to trade In the stock market on inside Information to enrich themselves at the expense of their stockholder, sellang supplies and equipment to their corporations at higher than market prices, by bor rowing money from banks In which they are Directors at higher rates of Interest, or ra the thousand and one methods of business graft familiar to us through the news of the day and reports of eongreas committees." As a means of getting better municipal administrations be said that every voter should be compelled, under penalty If necessary, to vote at a primary- Candidates should go on the ballot by petition.

"Higher salaries should be paid to get better men.

The Mayor stated that no provision has bees made to connect up the several Interurban lines wltlt the proposed city loop. All we contemplate doing la to furnish these lines sn opportunity of getting Into the heart of the aty." be declared. He took exception to the criticism made by George R. BaJch and other of the Blon Arnold plans on the ground that a section of the law which provides for the ass or tbe canal prohibits Its use for a surface railway, as follows: Easy To Find lauit. "It Is easy for rich men who would use the boulevard for automobile purpoeea to and fault with plana that will benefit the people at large.

"If It becomes necessary I am willing to fight out the Issue on the stump as to whether the canal shall be used for the benefit of all the people or simply sa boulevard for the rick, especially as nader our plan It may be used for both. I sure that we would win out at the polls 40 or to 1. Tbe question must ultimately be decided by tbe people. If a private cor poration does not make a satisfactory bid, ths bond issue win go before tbe people, and if a private corporation does secure tbe franchise, tbe ordinance may be erred to the people. Mr.

Well, the only thing to do Is to amend Section a. and ws are ore pared so go before the Legislature for that pur pose.

The traction lines would occupy only small part of the surface. There ie nothing Inconsistent with their Meaa In that plan. I cannot understand how any one could urge with any success that surface lines, walled off In aa ornamental way from the boulevard, would disfigure it in any way.

Mr. easier himaelf aaye that the first need of the city is transportation- To use ths canal only aa a boulevard would to throw away the most valuable op portunity the city has ever had or will ever posses for rapid transit.

'If any pledges of that kind were made they ware unauthorised.

In snythlng like tbe same proportion as adequate transportation hvdlidea. I believe that tbe construction of this interurban terminal would reduce our death rate, solve our housing problem In large part, and make It possible to se cure a population the city deserves."
