The people had reason to com- plain: of the increased taxation, snd the labour new president of the Local Goveru- ment Board, began an enquiry. As 'a result so far five guardians and one coal contractor languish in prison, and but four of the forty-four distrivis John Burns, have been examined. The sing "of the men who were sup- posed to be serving the people are numerous indééd. The official positions were offered in the market practically to the highest bidder. No one could get any place without paying a lage sun. The coal men had to bay recou- njtion, but they compensated them- selves by putting in inferior fuel and charging twice for it. When tenders were called for;-the favourites were al- lowed to see their rivals' bids. At Mile End the guardians refused to buy six houses, for pauper, children, at $1,500 each, but they accepted and in repairs there was as much mors spent the next three years. At Hammersmith a building was erected for $1,500,000¥ which should not have vost more than half a mil lion, bat for the grafting. At Poplar there is a magnificent building, adorn- ed and enriched with everything new and attractive, where the paupers dis- sported themselves with all the com- fort of the wealthy classes. This was the socialists' experiment and in a measure expressed their ides of the eternal fitness of things. The investigation has only begun, and the revelations are such t some people are already nn that municipal government is far, far from perfect. Indeed if the London mess improves as it proceeds those who have regarded the Americans as the most scandalous of managers will have occasion to revise their esti- mates. 4 in . EDITORIAL NOTES.
