A MODEL CITY.

t'uoFESSOR Blackman contributes aa m• ( resting paper to the Forum on " The Municipal Govern ment of Berlin." According to tho dt scj ipi ton given by the writer, Berlin is a model European city, and its growth has been as wonder ful as its municipal government has been piogresaively "wise and admirable." From 1800 to 1870 its population increased from 172,000 to 800.000, while at present the city contains nearly 2,000,000 souls. The military discipline which pervades the Prussian system of administration has had its effect on city government. "The power of concentrated action, the thoroughness of social institutions, the seriousness with which all the governmental acts are regarded, the scientific management of public works, the patient and exhaustive treatment of every subject m hand," says the writer, " all have contributed to the perfection of the great German capital." The city expends yearly more than £5,000,000 for the government, part of the revenue being derived from che proceeds of public works. " Every thing is closely accounted for, and the records are so fully published that a ratepayer may obtain at any time a true statement of the business condition of the municipality." Public construe* tions and the maintenance of streets are carried on with like thoroughness. As much care is exercised m the build ing of a street as by a carpenter m making a table, or a watchmaker m making a watch. Nearly all the streets are of first-class asphalt, and they are kept m proper repair and remarkably clean. Kigid rules are enforced with reference to garbage and sewage, and large quantities of disin fectants and deodorizers are used by the city and furnished by private individuals free of charge. The sewage of ■ the city is used to fertilise land below the city by means of irrigation pipes. At tho corners of the parks and intersection of public thorough fares public lavatories are established, being well built and ecrupulonsly kept by wooaen These features of the sanitary system are there considered indispensable? to health and comfort.



Easy terras of payment can be Arranged for most of the above. Full particulars furnished on application,
