THE City Council should act promptly
on the petition Of the Street and Sewer
Commissioners for the condemnation OF
Silverbrook. The matter must 20 before
the Legislature and it is possible that
under the most favorable circumstances
that the bill may be delayed there. The
private interests against the coudemna-
tion Of the stream have already secured
attorneys and an influential lobby. They
intend to delay, II they do not kill the
bill. The delay will be dlsadvantageous
In several ways, 6rst it may not be
reached before the legislators close shop
and so home and second Il may
be delayed SO long that no arrangements
for building new factories can be made
this spring. In one case the building
would be delayed for a year at least; IN
the other case the condemnation OF the
stream would be delayed till the meet

tion is Inevitable, the sooner It is done
the sooner the public will derive the
