WHOLESOME ECONOMY.

The latest report concerning Governor Odeli
will be shock D politicians. not so much De-
cause of the particular act which is predlcteo'
but because of the other acts of similar char-
acter which it may foreshadow. 1t is SAID that
the new Governor will dispense with the ser
vices of the legal adviser, salary $5,0OO ana
expenses $4,000 10 which he is entitled under
the law His plan, it is asserted, is TO save Ihis
expense 10 give more personal attention thah
some Governors have done to the detailed exam
;nation of measures, and to call upon the Attor-
ney-General for such legal advice as he may
require concerning bills presented TO him for
signature.
The Attorney-General is the proper legal ad-
wiser of the Governor and the diversion of that
function TO e new officer was one of the many
instances of the prevailing bad habit of the last
few years On the slightest provocation new
officer or a new commission was created TO do
every new piece of work that needed to be done
ManifestIy If the legislation of the State was
growing so complicated to call for legal eX-
animation the Attorney General was the proper
man to make the examination. If the labors OF
his office were thereby increased the obvious
relief was TO be sought in giving him another
deputy on a modest salary. But that woulo not
do The fashion called for the creation OF a
new department, with its office corps OF clerks
The Tribune has frequently criticised this
fashion and has advised the consolidation, so
far as practicable, of the various miscellaneous
independent offices in subordination to the
constitutional departments, whose fields, prop
erly regarded comprise nearly all the legitimate
sphere of governmental activity. The transfer
of the duties of the Governors legal adviser
TO the Attorney-General and his subordlnates
would be in line with these suggestions II Gov
ernor OdelI can bring this desirable end about
without special legislation he will certainly COM
mand public favor by doing So Such refresh
ing piece of economy would almost inevitably
be followed by further retrenchment. Mr.. Odell
apparently has an instinct for the discovery OF
super1uous Offices and a wholesome dislike for
them as well as for kitchen cabinets.

4 NEW REPrBLTcAy LEADER

dent of fhe Republican County Committee is
generally regarded as wise and fortunate by
those who hope 10 see Tammany beaten in the
coming municipal contest. OF course, he pos
sesses the goodwill Of the Republican organza-
ton which has made him it's leader. but his
election is heartily commended also by Repub-
hcans who do not accept an Endorsement from
that source at its face value without careful
consideration, and by citizens of various politi-
cal leanings who might be even more disposed
10 subject General Greene's successor to unsym-
pathetic scrutiny. 1t is certain that he comes of
good stock, that his course of life and his asso-
Citations have been honorable, and that at an
carly age he has evinced more than ordinary
capacity for such work as he is now called on
&c direct. Belonging to the machine, and in
general no doubt it's loyal supporter. he has not
been identified with its disreputable practices.

A MERE FANCY.

1t is reported that it would cost not less than
S1O00000 to make such alterations in the Coun-
ty Courthouse the judges sitting there con-
slider Indispensable and that the expenditure
of that large sum would still leave much to be
desired. One of the suggestions concerning that
building is that it should be demolished and
provision made elsewhere for transacting the
public business to which it is devoted, but there
is little reason as we have said, to believe that
so radical a proceeding will obtain public and
official approval in the near future.
1t is rather interesting. nevertheless, to think
of what might be. Suppose, for example, that
the County Courthouse should be torn down
and carried away, and that in place of it a
simple solid column should be raised bearing
some such inscription as this: Here stood
public building erected at public expense
under the orders and for the enrichment of
official thieves. In expiation of the negli-
'gence which permitted such a fraud to be ac-
"complished, and a perpetual warning to
private citizens and public men, this monu-
''ment has been put up by the city of New
York" 1t is conceivable that a structure of
that sort would possess greater utility than
the County Courthouse.

nNLnST CLAIMS IN ELM-ST.

The Board of Public Improvements has de-
cided against the property owners IN Eim-st.
who sought to be relieved of every dollar OF
assessments for the widening of that roadway
That decision is just and equitable. Although
the delays in the municipal work on the thor-
oughfare have been tedious. and although the
city officials have been negligent in putting the
area in decent condition for use nevertheless II
is certain that wh>h the improvement is COM
pleted the land on each side of Elm-st. will gam
largely in value. No real estate expert IN the
city. unless he is bassed by self-interest OF one
kind or another. viii hesitate to admit that' IL
is not surprising that the owners OF property
are impatient and irritated. because year after
year has passed since this enterprise was begun,
and the end seems to be still dim in the dis
tance. But that is just the sort of treatment
from which the taxpayers have been compelled
to suffer in most cases under the present
municipal administration.
The records prove beyond cavil that the
owners of Elm-st sites and buildings were
chiefly instrumental in starting the agitation
for this Improvement 1t was they who were
active in trying to convince everybody that the
congestion in Broadway was so extreme that
the wisest course would be to open wide and
spacious avenue of traffic by the broadening OF
that parallel but narrow artery Of business cir
culation. Then they expected to profit not only
extensively but promptly by the changes which
they sought to bring about. 1t was never proved
that the repaying of Centre-st. "a wider road
way than Elmst. ir its former state) and its
extension to Lafayette Place would not be more
useful to the public and less expensive than
the outlay Of millions upon the Elm-st. plan.
But the Eln-St. owners were urgent and per-
sistent in their agitation for number of years.
Finally they put the scheme into effect. Tire
some waits the chaos and confusion which have
taken the place OF true local government since
Mayor Van Wyck assumed office, and also the
preliminary labOrs and arrangements for un-
foreground rapid transit, have exhausted the
patience and infamed the wrath of these Elm-st.
owners. But they should not despair. They
will get in time everything to which they are
entitled. In fact, they will get full measure
running over. Before many years have gone
ElIn-st will be a highly important business
thoroughfare, lined with substantial buildings
for which high rentals will be charged
Now that the Board of Public improvements
has refused, very properly, to burden the general
body of the taxpayers with the entire cost of
the enormously expensive changes in Elm-st. it
is asserted that the property owners intend to
apply to the Legislature for the passage of an
act that will give them all they desire. The
Legislature ought to turn a deaf ear to such an
appeal. Had the arguments of the Elm-st.
owners been anything like reasonable, our ex
ceedingly liberal Board of Public Improvements
would not have rejected them. Albany ought
not to interfere
