Lawrence Transformation by Public Spirit and Brick Paving
Lawrence Kansas rose from muddy streets to a brick paved town by public-spirited investment. Promoters raised 90000 dollars, Santa Fe aided with machinery, and new wide streets with brick paving and terraces transformed the university town. The change contrasted with nameless past streets and trees, earning praise for paving methods and hillside grading.

Town Without Taxes Freudenstadt, Germany Finances Public Works
Freudenstadt in the Black Forest is a small city of about 7000 with a mayor and fire brigade that runs on less than 25000 dollars annually. It finances all municipal expenses from revenue on 6000 acres of forest kept under strict forestry methods. The system avoids personal taxation and yields about zero to one dollar profit per acre after expenses.

Safeguarding Railway Mail Clerks Urges Congressional Action
Postmaster General Wynne presses Congress to act for railway mail safety citing 378 mail train accidents in the year ending June 30, 1904. 21 mail clerks or agents died and 91 seriously injured, with 848 minor injuries. He argues mail cars must be steel and better built, not wartime-era baggage wagons. The piece also notes French efforts to create artificial diamonds and a sharp jab at Horace Greeley's cabbage metaphor, then a quip about retractions in Harper's.
