DISPOSING or G4RBAGr

Whatever action may be taken upon the bids
for dis1osing Of garbage. the recent declaration
Of the Womens Health Protective Association
upon the subject must be regarded rs true. loei
cal and convincing We might say it Is con
vcting-that IT practically convicts the present
municipal administration Of backwardness and
inefficiency in a matter directly concerning nor
only the comfort but the health Of the pub,ic
and also the financial wellbeng of the city.
There are three chief points TO he considered
in the disposal of the city's garbage One ia
that OF economy from the general point Of view
Matter which is of value for industrial or other
purposes should not be wasted. Another Is
that OF cost TO the city. The process of dis
posal should other things being equal, be made
as inexpensive as possible. The third is that Of
effectiveness. The waste matter should be so
disposed Of that 1t will cause no offence 10 the
senses and no peril TO the health of the public.
In each one of these particulars the present

THE OLD CITY HALL pARE.

1t was an unwise generosity on the part Of
New-iork when the southern part of the City
HAN Park was surrendered 10 the national gov
eminent for the site Of the building which CON
tains the Postofice and the Federal courts 1t
Is true that the location of the old PosTofice in
the stumbling and hideous structure which was
set up In Nassau-st.. where the Dutch Church
formerly stood and where the fine building Of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company now grail
lies the eye, was not suitable place and ii Is
true also that the i'm mediate vicinity of our
City Hall is the proper situation for the head
quarters of our mail service But the country
was rich enough at the time when il was de
cided to abandon the Dutch Church property to
buy whole block from private owners in Parl;
Row or In Broadway and to raise stately pile
which would he generally praised as creditable
TO the nation and an impressive example of
architecture as applied to public buildings Not
a foot of the charming. picturesque and precious
area of the City Hall Park should have been
sacrificed Before any part OF II was given up
IT was too small. Every inch of it should have
been preserved for park purposes
Had the entire territory of the park as II ap-
peared In the sixties and in earlier years beer
reserved forever, rs il should have been how
much more attractive would have been the vista
from the front of the City Hall. and how much
better off would the people of New-York be
now Before the Washington department WIS
permitted to occupy large part of the mark
space this was delightful relief and breathing
place in the roaring current of Broadway trade
NEWCOMERS should have cherished Battery
Park. the Bowling Green and City Hall Park in
their entirety with fond affection and should
never have permitted any encroachments upon
them by elevated railroads or by large bnjld-
ings in addition to the well proportional CITY
Hall. In convenience Of approach TO the Brook
Ign Bridge. in opportunities for crossing from
Church-st to Park Row, in many advantages
and qualifications. Manhattan could rejoice in
these days If the City Hall Park ms it WAS
in the old DAYS had been kept secure from
spoliation. The Federal Building is not ma
iesric or impressive. not fine example of orcbi-
lecture. Mast is by no means n satisfactory
roadway. II was sad blunder when Nev.-
Yorl's birthreht in the lower part Of tho old
park was sold for mess Of pottage. But the
error is not likely ever to he repaired

system In this city must be regarded as fail
ure. 1t is conspicuously wasteful, since vast
quantities of garbage of high value for fertliz
ing other purposes are wasted. destroyed
thrown away. 1t is expensive. since the whole
system is made charge upon the city, with
practically no returns of profit to reduce the
cost And, finally, it is grossly ineffective, for,
apart from offences and evils in the city itself
the neighboring sea beaches vilely polluted
We might forgive failure of the system in the
first or the second Of these particulars. Its
failure in the third is inexcusabe. Its failure
in all three is dannng.
There is ample reason for belief that success
instead of failure might be attained in all three
There are other cities. in this country and In
Europe, in which garbage is disposed of with
out the slightest offence 10 the people. without
waste Of valuable material. and at a profit
instead of a cost to the municipality What
other cities are able TO do New-Y York should he

LICENSING THE DOGS.

The vagabond cur will soon be In strats. II
is true that dogs are no more likely 10 become
rabid III midsummer than in midwinter, and
the number of cases of genuine madness among
the four footed friends of man is not large at
any time. But il has been decided TO enforce
the regulations with regard to the licensing of
dogs in a systematic and thorough manner.
1t will be a time of peril for every bayer Of
the moon not protected by proper registry The
action to licenses is wholesome and salutary.
New-York is in no danger of becoming
