DANGEROUS SKYSCRAPERS.
New York Buildings Adjoining the High
Structures Made Unsafe.

New York Buildings Adjoining the High
Structures Made Unsafe.
Superintendent Of Buildings Constable
made the statement in conference with
Mayor Strong Of New York the other
day that there are 5000 large buildings
in that city that are unsafe, and as
many as that have cracks and assures in
them and have to be constantly watched.
The unsafe buildings, Mr.. Constable
said, are those adjoining skyscrapers.
The architects of the new buildings
were not negligent in the way of pro-
viding proper securities for the new
buildings, but they did not pay enough
attention to the buildings adjoining.
For the skyscrapers it was necessary to
sink deep caissons, the sinking of which
and the driving Of piles were. Mr.. Con-
stable said, responsible for the unsafe
character of the buildings he mentioned.
Another danger to the city from the
erection Of these high buildings, Mr..
Constable added, is that arising from
insufficient sewers. In few years the
present sewers will not be sufficient to
carry of all the sewage, and the result
might be an epidemic.

SUNDAY NEWS No MORE.
An Unappreoiative Public VIII Not Buy It,
Hence the End.

There's another mound in the Queen
City's newspaper graveyard and the little
one was so very, very young and made so
slight an impression on an unapprecia-
tive world that a monument will alone
prevent its being forgotten. The Sunday
News has expired. after a struggling ex-
istence of four short weeks We are told
that 1t was a good paper, which, IL true.
only goes to prove the truth of the old
adage about the early demise OF the good.
We are told even more than this. 1T was
the best and the most interesting paper
that Vermont has ever seen" 1t is in
deed pity that such good seed should be
wasted in such unprohtabe soil, During
Its short career we were told that the
Sunday News sold like hot cakes; that
1T was a great seller; that the public
buy it,; ut had a bigger sale than be-
fore" Now that it is all over we are
told that the paid circulation amounted to
only few hundreds" and that IL
distributed thousands of copies free"
One OF the saddest things in this world
is the failure to appreciate true merit.
