PRACTICAL VALUE OF PUBLIC IN
PROVEMENTS.

Already the public servants and the pub
lie prints Of New York City ara beginning
to recognize the civlizing and healthful cf-
fects OF clean streets In the big metropolis
1t is said the beneficial results generally
since Commissioner Waring cleaned the
streets and the city, are matters OF com
mon observation and comment.
The Windows are cleaner since the streets
are thoroughly swept. the halls OF the
houses In the tenement districts are clean
er. even the paint on the dwellings and
stores Is fresher. the children OF the streets
look tidier. and this cleanliness has it's
marked effect on health From the stand
point OF appearance, comfort or sanitation.
the Improvement has been such as not only
to attract mention but to create now
overwhelming sentiment In favor OF the
good work aud its continuance at any cost.
Where a half million was grulgIngly given
TO the metropolitan street department two
or three years ago, now several million
dollars are voted without inurmur.
This is the history OF all public improve
ment--at first opposed by large numbers
Of people. then growlingly submitted TO
with predictions Of the clty's bankruptcy,
then enjoyed until, finally. four or Ave
times the cost of the improvements could
not buy them from the public and cause
return to the former conditions. Men are
singularly Indifferent as community to
their hes, interests. in spite of .halr boast
cd intelligence and experience They have
to be driven to take caro- OF themselves
collectively, but when any conspicuous nd
vance has been made they all want TO
Share the glory. ana wonder that the good
work was not accomplished before. The
pioneers In any movement dcslguod 10 add

or prestige OF city, can feel assured hat
while they may at first be criticized, and
even bitterly opposed eventually they will
