The Health Commissioners have sensibly de-
cided ITO ask the cooperation of other city de-
partp ients in getting rid of some of the grayer
nuisetnces which threaten the health OF the
community more alarmingly than usual, now
that the hot weather is upon us. The recent
inspection of the river front has resulted IN
tho location of several defective sewers ana
open drains, which It is the duty OF Comms-
81 bner Gilroy to keep in order. There seems
also to be crying need of little activity on
the part of the Charities Commissioners OF the
Bellevue Hospital sewer. The use OF dian-
:fectants for sprinkling the soil excavated from
the streets is beyond the age Of mere expert
ment. Certainly something should be done
in the way of applying it systematically in
view Of the many miles of subways soon to be
onrSt vrcted

thereto. With that problem we cheerfuily leave
the courts to wrestle.
Mr.. Beekman,s main argument n against the
copstitutionality Of law which dispenses with
the consent of local authorities and property
owners to changes Of construction and opera
tom amounting, in his opinion, to tho exercise
of "a new substantive right" He believes,
moreover, that he has already been sustained
10 this extent by the Court of Appeals in the
case of the Arcade Railroad Company. and also
in the case of the Third Avenue Railroad Com
pany in Its unsuccessful application for au-
thority to change its motive power, tho new
law being the outcome Of that failure.
1t is always unsafe and generally impertinent
to offer predictions as 10 the ultimate deter
mnation of a question Of constitntionality, and
we have nothing to say on that point. There
Is, however, no improperly in suggesting that
the Mayor and his political family are naturally
loath to relinquish any share of their control
over the plans and purposes Of the transporta-
ton companies, and that possibly fear that
they may be compelled to do 20 makes their
desire to defend the rights Of tho people even
more intense than il would otherwise be.
Furthermore, they are confronted with the dis
NAL prospect Of q long delay in beginning the
benefcent work Of laying out several millions
Of dollars upon the streets Of the city, and to
Tammany Hail. when its eyes have been once
fixed upon such an object, one day is as
thousand years. But to the rest Of the people
II may occur that. II New-York is not to be
contented forever with the slow, uncertain and
excrctive horse, now is good time to make an
honest experiment In the direction Of improved
transit. It Is 50 often our duty TO condemn the
acts Of Governor Hill that we take pleasure in
saying that his reasons for signing the bill to
which this article relates and the other street
railway bills to which we shall refer hereafter
have been candidly expressed and ought to be
respectfully considered
