It is reported that 15.910 circulars have be«a sent out to pexClf* Interested in ail branches of municipal science, and a large i; <mber of cities have signified their inten tion of being represented. The promoters of the movement suggest in advance that th< i>e coating be prepared to consider a wide range of subjects. The list includes the granting of stree* railway, gas, elec tric and other franchises, and the control of and revenues derived from corporations enjoying such rpe< ;al franchises; the col lection and disposal of garbage, which Is a branch of municipal work still in the experimental stage; the relative merits of the various street paving materials. In cluding csdsr block, brick, granite. m?dina block, asphalt blo« k, a:«d the different k nds of sheet asphalt; the cleaning of streets, the muni' ipal ownership of light ins plants, and the cost of street lighting under the contract system; the municipal management of public water supplies, and the necessity for water filtration, fire and police protection, parks and play grounds, municipal finances, taxation and special a«*vsaments. etc. This Is a very Ambitious programme to l>e covered within a few days, and It will take rare executive skill to marshall the delegations »o that each subject may re ceive consideration by appropriate commit tees. Even if the committee shall not be productive of unanimity, or even of a de termination of the best methods to be ap plied in each of the ma ir branches to be diacussed, the mere discussion of the sub jects cannot fall to be productive of good. There are some general principles which apply to all municipalities, but the popula tion and th« local conditions rnu*t always to a great extent govern the system to be adopted. In the atate of \\ ashlngton municipalities ar«» classified on the theory that a scheme of government which would be appropriate In a large clt> would not be equally service able In a small town. This follows the b-st eaperlenco of older states, and has Ix-en fairly successful. Nevertheless, a co'-npartion of tn*tho<la cannot fa.l to be v 0 to ! w •t. K: more t!>r»n a perfunctory Interest In th'-ir duties. Such a convention emphasises th* grow- conviction that municipal government la a matter of business and should be kept <l3 much as iH>saibl«» from the influent e of partisan politlca, and particularly that the choice of offl'ials should not be controlled by Influence* which ere essential In *tate and national affairs.
