BRIDGE BILL AND BRIDGE TRUSTEES.
1t has been highly gratifying to THE TRlB-
UNE to record the passage by the Senate at
late hour on Thursday night Of the Bridge Re
organization bill, which had already gone safely
through the Assembly. The bill is now in the
Governors hands, and we think there are ex-
cellent reasons to believe that he will sign IT.
The bill which was passed three years ago went
through in the closing hours Of the session and
was hastily and incompletely amended. 1t was
thus left in a botched condition. references
being retained to sections that had been
stricken ovt. 1t was this fact alone that fur
nished the e overnor an excuse for vetoing II.
In the memorandum which no filed ON June 3,
1885, he virtually admitted the necessity CT
Bridge legislation, and the only reason as
signed by him for refusing to approve the meas
ure was the defects that carelessness in the
Legislature had not removed. Consistency
alone. therefore, should lead him to approve
the present bill. even if it were not so obviously
for the public welfare that he should do so.
The chances that the bill will become law
appear to be excellent.
Under the circumstances 1t will be interest
ing to observe the course of the Bridge Trus-
tees, especially IN TeRdIu w VIC huohiShVVos
question Of increasing the carrying capacity Of
the railroad. To-day is the regular day
for their meeting, and MIR. Higgins has an
nounced that be will move to reconsider the
action by which plan was adopted which at
the best will provide only temporary relief, and
q system rejected which promised the largest
advantages and had commended itself to the
minds of large number Of well-equpped and
competent judges-rejeoted because OF It's al
legged costliness, which was based as has since
been asserted, on misleading and extrayagant
estimates propriety, it would seem, ought to
suggest to the trustees that tire simplest policy
will be the wisest for them. That is, they
should rescind the action taken at the last meet
ing and leave the whole matter open to their
successors. The new Board ought not to be
embarrassed at the outset by what the present
Board has done. particularly in view OF the
questionable character Of the scheme which has
been agreed ON. II true 10 well-eStab lished
precedents, the trustees will not come together
to-day in sufficient numbers to make a
quorum. Their opportunities, however, are
RAPIDLY becoming fewer. and they may seize
with ayidity on what remain to them. The
public has the satisfaction Of knowing that
whatever they do now may soon be undone or

ways will supply oil the needs OF the growing

The statements made by Mr. DOench, Super
intcndent OF Buildings, before tho Architectural
League Of New-Yor1 in support of his proposal
that architects should be licensed. are striking
and weishty In three years he has passed on
1891 applications for building permits, 10 per
cent of which had to be disapproved, either for
defective drawing, or, far oftener, for defective
construction In one instance an architect had
subjected yellow pine girders to a pressure Of
100000 pounds to the square inch. In Mr..
Doenchs opinion the large percentage Of applica-
tions rejected is due to the fact that there is no
legal restriction upon any one calling himself an
architect who wishes to do SO. The Superntend-
ents suggestion was apparently favoraby re-
ceivcd by many of the architects who listened to
him. IL is not unlikely that something will be
done toward bringing the matter to the attention
Of the next Legislature. or course. the Bureau Of
Buildings stands between the authors Of such
drawings and the unsafe structures that would
result from them, but some restriction upon in.

should not our faces burn with hame
anddisgrace. Our state has been sold to.
and is now in the embrace of the liquor
demon; our laws are broken and our
firesides robbed, because we and our
legislators dared not utter a command
to stop.
The browning disgrace of all was CON
summated last winter when our legis-
lature refused 10 pass any Of the bills
proposed by the friends of prohibition,
chief among them being county option
bill, !" constitutional amendment BILL
the bill prohibiting saloon keepers
from allowing minors or drunkards 10
enter or remain in their premises, and
another requiring salloon-keepers to re-
move all painted windows and screens
from their dens. This disgraceful ac-
ton is not surprising, when we consider
the personnel of the Legislature.
An example will illustrate my thought:
A republican member being asked to
introduce one of these bills said: at is
good thing but you know how it Is,
and | can't do it, it would split our
party if did,, A democrat said IF
believed in it | would Introduce il, but
| don't. believe in it, and thus it goes,
party first and principle afterward and
sometimes the principle never comes.
And now before close let us view
the past moment from political
standpoint. In all these years no party
has espoused our cause until our prohi
bition brothers organized and are now
marching on 100000 strong Temper
ance men hero plead with the parties
to do something, and the liquor men
have said ''be careful, if you do you'll
lose us. This admoniIion. backed a,
it was by knowledge that they meant
what they said and would leave the
party, has been needed and the legis-
lature has been careful, as the record
have presented shows. And where
are we to day as a state?
Our temperance laws are no better
than they were thirty Year. ago and
only as we have agitated the question
and educated public sentiment has our
cause grown. Our work will not be
done until that sentiment has crystal
lied into legal prohibition and mans
law is in harmon y with the law of God.

A noticeable change in the arrange

a footpath in the middle, with Il lot Of

driveway sweeps in semi-circle
through the space of about 39x40 feet.
Wide entrances on each side, between
heavy brick-work posts, with a gutter
