convenience is also imperative, and expenditure of
money cannot be ignored. These three questions,
or almost problems, with many minor ones are of

gravest deliberation on the part of those who are
really responsible, and there can be no doubt that it
is, as a fact challenging more deliberation still.

idleness, with regard to the whole question, the time
that has been given to the subject, is comparatively
known to few, and the money, although most
economically spent, has not been withheld.
