STREET IMPROVEMENTS.

One of the very strongest arguments that can
be advanced 10 show how unwise II would be
for the city to appropriate one hundred and
twenty thousand dollars To lay the foundations
Of an electric plant of its own, Is the absolute
necessity that the corporation should scrupu-
lousy avoid all useless expense and devote
every cent. not urgently needed elsewhere, to
the general improvement Of our streets. To
spend enormous sums Of money IN establish
ing monopoly in light. which cannot sub
serve the interests Of the people as we'll as
competing private companies, Is, when the
shameful condition Of 50 many of our leading
thoroughfares is recalled, policy SO short
sighted and so disregardful Of the welfare Of
the community. that 1t is difficult TO charac-
tcrize il IN terms too explicit.
According to the list Of street Improvements
submitted at the recent meeting of the Com
mittee on Streets by the city engineer, inn
provements which should not be deferred

pressing considerations demand they shall

Before the recent assessment OF city prop
eriy was made, 1t WAS urged on the part OF
the municipal authorities that no important
step should be ,aken to improve our streets
until appropriations could be voted upon the
enlarged basis Of taxation created by the
favorable results of the assessment. This as
Sessment has been made. and instead of the
city proceeding 10 utilize it for the purpose of
carrying out the street Improvements 50 much

funds which should he devoted % this pur-

duced in the State Legislature TO establish

the New York Undertakers' Association. This
Board. according to the New York Sun, is to
