A GOOD BILL TO KILL.

GROUNDS-KIOsKs NOT NEEDED


The bill introduced In the Assembly on February
by Mr.. Austin. providing for the erection and
maintenance Of structures to be used for avatories
klosks ETC. known as No. GA IS receiving severe
condemnation from large numbers OF peop.e. The
city and not private corporation It Is said, shou
control the lavatories. etc. In public places. Under
the guise Of promoting public health and comfort
1t really provides for the creation Of great cor
poraton for advertising purposes and for the sac
Of newspapers which will inJure permanently be-
tween three and four thousand newsdealers
throughout the State.
The Tribune has repeatedly said In It's news
columns and e1itorially that these men. orderly
peaceabe and Industrious. who rise early In the
morning to secure their papers and make small
profit upon ca n one, are worthy OF every assist
ance possible. 1t Will be manifest injustice to
these people and thousands OF others whose
livelihood would DO destroyed II this law were
enacted.
There are other features which criticised as
severely by other peop.e who have carefully read
the bill For instance, ii would mean the prac-
teal surrender nominal rertal OF the streets
avenues parks and pubic places IN every city and
be erected for advertising purposes TO company
that ought pay literally for this privilege II II H.
considered wise to disfigure the streets and
parks In the manner proposed.
The bill is extremely Objectionable from every
point of view. and its red. purpose coud hardly
