ganization OF the municipal soyernment after
the Revolutionary war. This little, pamphlet
building Of the City Hall, and gives a copy of
the inscription which is placed upon the coping
where nobody can see it. All this will be APP
preciated by visitors whose inquiries about the
celebrities In the Governors Room have here
tofore found no definite answer. There Is no
portrait OF De Witt Clinton. one of. the most
famous Governors OF New York. or of any OF the
Chief Magistrates since Dix. The series OF
Mayors portraits ends with Hoffman,. There
are frequent expressions OF regret that these
omissions are. not supplied. and there are
plenty Of capable artists in the city who would
be glad OF commissions to pains the missing
portraits. There ought to be philosophical
citizens ready to see that it is done.
