Extensive preparations are being

pected at the custom house on and
after January l., on account of the
new schedule of wool and manufac-
lures of wool, which takes effect on

praiser have been advised by almost
every large dry goods house in the
city and surburbs that large quanti-
ties of mems and ladies dress goods,
which are now stored at Bradford,
England Germany, France and Bel
GUM will arrive in Boston after the
first of the month. This is caused by
the reduction in duties on that class
of goods, and the merchants are 60
ing to take advantage of the change
by stocking their places with sup
ply that will last for years. This
will also result in the importation OF
goods that have never been brought
here before.

There can no longer be doubt in the
mind of any observing and intelligent per-
son that something must be done soon to
relieve the pressure of travel 10Th
street between Pennsylvania and New York
avenues. The present condition of things
en- that short thOroughfare, through which
the tides of travel between the eastern and
western parts of the city are constantly
ebbinS and flowing in rapidly increasing
volume, is not only a great public incon-
yenience but constant and growing
source of danger to life and limb. Congress
will consequently be grossly remiss in the
duty it owes to the public If it does not
even in this short session, take adequate
steps to provide and enforce a remedy.
Manifestly the most effective course
would be to widen the street named be-
tween the two points Indicated. This how
ever, would be expensive, and would in
yolve such delays, even il il could be
afforded that its consideration may as well
be dismissed, if not for all time, at least
for the present The only feasible remedy
remaining, therefore, is to divert portion
OF the travel which now blocks the way.
This can be partially accomplished by the
edoption of a police regulation requiring
wagons and carriages coming from or 60
the roadway on the west and south sides of
the Treasury Department building. But it
is far more important to do something to
reduce the number of cable cars now rush
ing up and down that narrow passage, and
placing both person and property in danger
OF injury or destruction. With this end in
view the plan recommended by Senator
MCAli. an, and heretofore suggested in
these columns, must be regarded as far
preferable to that favored by the District
Commissioners. His proposition is for the
Mt Pleasant or 18th street branch line to
leave and join the main line on Pennsyl-
vania avenue at the intersection Of 18th
street. That of the Commissioners on the
other hand. is to have both the Georgetown
and Mt. Pleasant lines use the present
track on 10Th street, either on their eastern
or western passage with a new track to be
laid on 18th street between Pennsylvania
and New York avenues for their trips in
the opposite direction.
These two plans would afford about equal
relief TO the congested part OF 18th street,
% far as street car occupancy IS concerned,

There were ten men employed on the
city post-oftice building this morning.
If they work all day-which in view of the
falling rain Is quite improbable-and il
they or ten other equally expert and assid-
uous toilers kept things moving for eight
hours of every weekday. the structure
might possibly be completed by February
1, 1917. That estimate, however. is ultra
liberal to the extent probably, of about
twenty years. The average number of

Once more there Is appearance of con-
gressional interest in the proposition to
build new Government Printing Office.
The evidences OF concern are to be seen at
both ends of the Capitol and. had there not
been many disappointments in sessions
past, hopeful people might reasonably con-
clude that provision would speedily be
made for a safe and suitable structure in
which the governments printers and bind
ers could work without being constantly in
danger of horrible death by reason of
structural collapse or fire. 1t has been con-
coded by every senator and representative
who has taken part in the many debates
that have occurred on this topic that a
new building Is absolutely necessary. and
there has been startling unanimity of opin-
Ion as to the dangerous character of the
rickety old shell now occupied by more
than two thousand government employees

as much to them and their loved ones as
are the lives of members of the national

would seem as though agreement had been

in overturning whatever of good appeared
