Section One, Tuesday. Not. i. 1801
COST OF ONE MUNICIPAL
ELECTION.
One dollar and eleven cents Is what It
costs the city of New York for every
vote cast at Its mayoralty election.
This Is the amount per voter, that was
actually expended by the bureau of elec
tions for Oreater New York, the general
Items being, rent of voting booths, places
for the board of registry to Bit, polling
lng places, and cost of collecting the
votes.
About 676,0OO Is the Bum spent by the
bureau of elections .defraying the
mayoralty campaign.
Of that amountl$350,000 was expended
for clerk hire alone. For rent of places
for the board of registry to sit, polling
booths, cartago and the repairs of the
election appurtenances, $121,000 was
paid; $30,000 was spent for the printing
of the ballots and books for registering;
$5,000 went for advertising the official
nominations and the various othor mat
ters Incidental to the election, regulated
by state, county and city laws; $75,000
was spent In miscellaneous rent hire, for
extra help and the thousand and one
things that become necessary two or
three weeks preceding election day.
The above sum divldod by the number
of votes cast, makes the cost one dollar
and eleven cents for each vote.
As a tax, the cost of each mayoralty
election In Oreater New York, Is a most
Important Item to those who must bear
the burden of paying for the elections,
CITY LIGHTS AND BETTER ROAD
WAYS. In less than three weekB, the cltlzenB
of New Bern can give expression at the
ballot boi on the matter of having a
well lighted city, or whether tho pres
ent condition of stumbling about the
Btreets after sun Bet, Bhall continue.
Besides affecting very seriously every
material interest of New Bern, this no
lights on the public streets at night, the
retail business of the city Is Injured by
the dark Btreets now prevailing, ander
the no light Bystem.
With unllghted itreeta, It cannot be
expected that people are going to go
out at night, unless It is absolutely
necessary, and besides the local trade
thus cut off, there Is a certain amount of
nearby outside city trade which is kept
away, becauae of the present unllghted
condition of New Bern.
And the effect of dark streets upon
visitors to this city, and what they may
say about a city to out of date as to be
without lighted streets cannot but Injure
the reputation of the place.
Another matter of public Importance,
In that of good roadways In this city
At the last meeting of the board of
Aldermen, the street committee reported
that the city's streets were In bad con
dllion.
The system pursued of filling up hole
In the ttraeU by dumping enough oyster
shells In each cavity to hide the depres
Ion, has not and will not make good or
paasabW street, la the sense of the kind
of roadway Hew Bern ought to have.
The street committee's report does not
put the natter loo strongly when It says
the streets are In bad condition.
And the remedy Is not hard to find
fcr potting the streets la food oondl
