STREET SIGNS AND LIGHTS.

1t is an interesting reflection that one of our
great city evils has come upon us more or less
directly through one of the great improvements,
or reputed improvements. That is to say, the
demOraliZed state of the street signs is a con-
sequence of the improved system of street light
Ing. In the old days when all streets were
lighted with gas, there were gas lamps at all
corners. and these bore glass signs indicating
the streets. The system was not perfect, but
it was pretty good, and ii had the important
virtue of uniformity. With the introduction of
electric lights. of the arc pattern, the gas lamps
were given up, and the posts and lanterns dis
mantled if not removed altogether, and thus
havoc was played with the street signs. over
in Brooklyn they have retained the posts at
street corners, but have removed the lanterns
and put IN their place small sign boards, lndi-
eating the streets, with the result that while 1t
is not so we'll off it should be, that borough
is far better off for street signs than is Manhat-
tan. OF course, there is no thought here Of re-
verting 10 gas for street lighting and so the
system of street signs must he adapted To
streets lighted with electric lights.
There will be no general reversion And yet
it is not impossible that there will be some
little reaction. We have spoken of electric are
lighting as "A reputed Improvement For many
purposes it is unquestionaby an Improvement,
and a great one But there many who
think that for general street lighting system
of less powerful but more numerous lights
would be preferable. The are lights make "A
brilliant illumination in some places. but east
dark shadows in others. They are often
dazzling and bewildering to one driving directly
toward them. And many men. especially those
who drive, would far rather have the milder
but more generally and uniformly diffused IL
Elimination of less powerful but more numerous
lamps. If there should be reaction toward
such a system, the corner lamp post might well
play again its old part Of sign bearer.
In any case, lights at the street corners would
be boon even though they were of the weak
est incandesccnt type just strong enough 10
illuminate the signs on the lanterns. A corner
lamp plainly marks the corner, and that is Il
by means unimportant function. 1t warns
the driver that he is approaching the intersec
ton of another street, and that he must drive
carefully and be on his guard lest he collide
with another vehicle coming along that inter
secting street. So. even If the present are lights
be maintained. the corner lights would supple
ment them In a manner sufficiently valuable TO
pay for the latter, apart from the simply in
valuable service they would do in Illuminating
a rational and credltable system Of street signs.

SHERIFFS' EXPENSES.

Governor Odel has rightly vetoed little bill
which mysteriously wormed its way through
the legislature. This measure proposed to hand
over to the Sheriff OF this county appropria-
ton from the public funds OF $1,000 n year
for three years for legal expenses after the
expiration OF the Sherifs term. What trace of
justice or equity was there in such a scheme:
In every county Of the State the income OF
the Sheriff is large enough 10 stimulate the
sharpest competition among politicians for the
nomination TO that office. No one of the Sheriffs
goes TO the almshouse when his term is ended.
All the Sherifrs flourish and wax fat. The
schemers who devise all sorts Of raids on the
public funds cannot throw dust in the eyes Of
our sharpsighte1 Governor And of all our
occupants OF public places are there any who
need special appropriations FOR their enrich
ment less than our Sheriffs?

FIRE LOSSES AND FIREPRO0FING.

We have all been eIclaiming upon the enOr-
NOUS loan which Great Britain has had to make
TO cover part of the cost OF her South African
war 1t is for $300,O0O.000. At the same time
John Bull has something to show for II, and will
probably have good deal more. In the shape OF
two fine provinces added to his empire, with re-
sources of vast extent and wealth. 1t is n good
deal worse to show loss only half as great but
with absolutely no compensating circumstances
And the latter Is what the United States has to
contemplate to-day. The losses from fires In
the United States last year were S155,OO0,0OO,
or more than half as great the British war
loan, and In return therefor there is nothing to
show, and no hope of anything to show.
Well, but such losses are accidental, unnten-
tional and inevitable men say, and thus far diff
ferent from those contracted in n war delber-
ately entered upon We are not so sure of that.
Suppose that $l55, 600 had been spent in i'm
proved construction of buildings making them
freproOf Or rather, suppose there were spent
each year, to cover the additional cost of fire
proof infiammable construction, sum
equal to that lost each year in fires. We are
strongly inclined to think the result would be a
steady and marked diminutlon I'm the number
and destructveness of fires and in the amount
lost through them. Note the Insignificant sum
total of losses through fire in the Tribune Build
Ing in all the years since it was erected as the
pioneer and model of modern freproof office
buildings. Suppose that same petty ratio of
losses were extended throughout the city and
the whole country. There would be no talk and
no fear Of any $155.O000OO losses a year, or OF
anything but the slightest fraction of that sum.
II prudence does not teach the lesson. pc
cuniary profit will. trust, that it is cheaper
In the long run, and not necessarily so very long
a run, either, TO make buildings fireproof than
to pay fire losses.
