LAWS WILL NOT ENFORCE THEMsELvEs.
From the Public Ledger tPhiladclphia). August ISL
The NEW YonK HERALD has been engaged for some
time in crusade against the authorities OF that city
who permit ana actually authorize. far thoy
can, the dumping of garbage and mud in the harbor
of New York. 1t appears from the statements of
steamship agents, captains and pilots that this prac
tico has already resulted in the formation of shoals
and the filling up OF tho channel. that the old
United States charts cannot bc taken reliable
guides, and vessels sometimes run aground where
the charts show much more water than Is required
to oat them. The result is that surveys OF the
harbor will have to be made and probably thousands
of dollars expended in removing from the bay tho
mud already drcdged from the docks of New York
and the garbage collected in its streets. For other
reasons than this the practice should bo gvon up.
Much of the garbage il dumped where IL will float
back to New York the tide or be washed
upon the shores OF New York's favorito
summer resort Coney Island. The strangcst
part of the whole thing is thnt no legislative action
is required to prevent the dumping OF mud and ashes
In the harbor The law IL exists to-day prohibits
the practice, and IN inspector Is paid hoavy salary
to that 1t s enforced It is another illustration
OF the tact that laws however good. will not enforce
themselves, and that TO make them effective thero
must be determined and vigilant executive.
