TERRORrzIyG BUILDERS AND ARCHITECTS

TERRORIZING BUILDERS AND ARCHITECTS
There is certainly nothing intrnsically i'm
probable in the story which John c. Coleman,
chairman of the West End Associations Com
mittee on Legislation, says that Charles III.
lsraels. an architect, told him, to the effect that
the architect had been threa tened by the Build
inGs Department of this city with the ruination
of his business If he did not withdraw COM
plaint made 10 the association charging unfair
treatment by the department; the fact that Mr..
lsraels later wrote 10 Commissioner Brady, in a
measure Withdrawing the charge. might tend to
prove that the alleged intimidation had been
practised upon Mr.. Israels, and that ii had been
successful The story is not improbable, be-
cause it readily falls in line with conditions
already known TO exist.
He would be very unobserving person who
could live a year in this city and not know that
architects. builders contractors and property
owners are kept in n state of general terror by
the Buildings Department. There is nothing in
definite or far-fetched In the assertion that the
department could ruin the business of an archi-
tect 1t is all very well for Commissioner Brady
10 reply that the courts have power to review
the action Of the department in the matter of
approval or disapproval of plans and specifca
tions; but the courts, probably with entire pro-
priety, are reluctant 10 interfere in a matter
which by law is left so largely to the discretion
of the head of the department. Besides this, in
order 10 injure the business OF an architect or
builder who has come into disfavor. it is not
necessary that his plans shall be finally dis
approved and disallOwed. Delay often would
be quite as effective, ana ii would be prac
tically impossible TO invoke the protection
Of the courts against delay. The method is 70
put off official action on one preteXt or an
other, until the client of the architect or builder
eYasperated ct time which is being wasted,
goes 10 the department 10 what he can do
personally. He is welcomed with great cordial
ity and assured that the fault has been with the
man he has employed. If he is taken in he
does not, of course employ that man again, nor
do any of his friends.
1t is good news that the West End Association
does not intend TO drop the matter without
further investigation, whatever Mr.. Israels may
feel himself obliged 10 do. Blackmalng of this
sort by city department is hard TO break
up, because usually of the interested
parties are willing to make the sacrifice involved
in testifying to the facts. 1t is quite likely that
where blackmal is intended it is prosecuted by
means of threats and annOyances much more
than by actual deeds. If some one were 10
come out openly and make fight against black
mail it might be discovered that there are
limits even 10 the power for evil of corrupt
city officials

SIGNS HERE AND OVER SEA.

Public spirited citizens in London have been
talking together with regard 10 the disfgure-
ment of streets open places and buildings with
signs and placards of excessive size and OF
hideous outlines lettering and cOlOring. Some
of those present at this conference who had re-
Gently visited New-York told the audience that
while this city had many sins TO answer for in
the display of crude advertisements in the
open air, London had gone much further than
the American metropolis in these offences
against good taste and wholesome vision. The
condition of things in the biggest of all cities,
ancient and modern, in respect to these abOmi-
nations must be deplorable indeed when patri-
otic and unprejudiced Londoners admit freely
that nothing in sight between Coney Island and
Yonkers presents so unpleasant an array OF
monstrosites in repulsive signs as every visitor
to London Is compelled to look upon.
Intelligent and progressive Englishmen con-
tend that some strong action should be taken
to check the lamertabe growth of repellent
boardings No reasonable person objects to
placards or signs of moderate size, temperately
colored and suitably placed But the shrieking
horrors of ghasty hues. with repulsive viola
tions of almost every rule for protecting the
public against that which is unseemly, abound
on the waterfrOnts on the tops of buildings, on
places where they are disturbing to every sense
Of the fitting and even the endurable. London
must be in a sad plight when LOndOners them
selves confess that their outdoor advertisers
are more wanton and unscrupulOus than their
Yankee rivals Some barrier must be set up
I'm every civilized country or the evil will so eX-
tend that human patience will be too hardly Ell
treated In France the State imposes a tax on
these omen air advertisements, and the London
citizens who met in council to consider this sub
iect were inclined to think that the Briton
might do worse than TO follow in ;he footsteps
of the Gau Would it not be wise 10 take SIM
liar action in the United States? Even II New
York is not vet so reckless as London in affront-
ing the eyes of tranquil and sensible men and
women, there IS plenty of room for radical
measures here. Were there no restraint I'M
posed anywhere on the globe every pyramid in
Fgvpt would he turned into a huge pile of ad-
vertisements, and the Sphinx would become a
polychrome of painted placards. There are
advertisers who would cover the Palisades with
their announcements If they could, and plaster
the Capitol at Washington and every State
house in the Union with partiCOlored appeals
for the purchase of their wares. Our state or
local authorities or both. should bcStir them
selves and put leash upon these bold and
hardy spirits.
New-York tribune., 1901-03-10

judiciary 10 keep time for lawmakers. Yet this
Senate election in Montana does raise the
inquiry whether not there is any limit 10
legislative votion in that matter and If so,
where and by whom the line is to be drawn.
When Mr.. Gibson was elected the Montana
legislature had been nomnally defunct for more
than three hours. Suppose that it had kept on
balloting until sunrise, or noon of Friday, or
the middle of next week. If its existence could
be ictitiously prolonged three hours, why might
it not have been prolonged three days, or indefi-
nitely?
As we have said. there is no intimation of a
rebellion on the part of the other candidates who
indeed hoped TO be elected until the last ballot
had been cast, and who are therefore morally
estopped from complaining; or on the part of
the people of the State who may be very well
suited. But it is not inconceivable that some
where, at some future time. when passion and
resentment are running high, the conversion by
artificial means of a drawn battle into victory
for one sHe and a defeat for the other may
produce sensational results.
New-York tribune., 1901-03-10

subject telephone companies 10 the law which
governs telegraph companies and railroads,
though their positions are not precisely similar
The telephone companies serve not the general
public, but only their subscribers, and even
their pay stations might be held 10 offer COM
punicatiOn not with the world at large, but
only with the company's listed patrons. If ex-
listing legal principles do not meet the case,
probably legislatures could regulate the tele-
phone business that companies would have TO
interchange messages at reasonable charge for
the extra service. If separate telephone sys
tens are to exist permanently and the benefits
of continued competition to be secured, some
such development Of the law governing tele-
phony may be expected, for it is difficult TO
imagine a satisfactory telephone system with
artificial barriers 10 the widest communication
allowed by the perfection and multiplicity of
instruments.

Lord Robertson the Earl OF Kandahar,
whichever is his proper styles of all men best
entitled TO rejoice in the temperance Of the Brit
sh army in the South African campaign COM
pared with it's drinking habits in some former
wars for he has long been the foremost advo-
cate OF just such moderation. and, as Kipl!ng
wrote of him, down on drink" His commen-
dation Of the soldiers in South Africa is to be
garded as fully deserved, for the record appears
to he that they have kept uncommoniy sober in a
land where the worst of whiskey is plentiful
as water. 1t also seems to be true. Lord Rob
erts says that there have been no cases Of rude
ness or improper conduct of soldiers toward the
Boer women; the latter fact being. of course.
natural corollary to the fact of their sobriety.

That duodecimo edition of State. Little

it has been spoken of slightingly by severe
critics for generations because of the laxity of
its divorce laws. When the number of divorces
in comparison with the number OF marriages in
the community founded by the sanity Roger
Williams is one to eight. II doth appear that
the barriers against the breaking up of families
are not so hard and fast as they should be, al
though IL is we'll known that in a large per-
centage of cases the husbands and wives who
are set apart by the Rhode Island courts did
not plight their vows within the borders of that
State Some of the most enlightened men among

reproach from their beloved home and to make
the divorce law of the State more rigid. May
success attend their efforts,
