THE MENACE TO PARK-4VE.

Residents of Park-ave. are doing we'll in pro-
testing against the plans of the Health Board
for running that fine street. We have hitherto
exposed those plans. They involve a further
opening of the railroad tunnel into an open cut
Years ago a vast sum of money was spent in
putting the railroad underground in order TO
make the avenue agreeable for habtation, and
since then other vast sums have been invested
in real estate and in expensive buildings along
that avenue on the strength of the assurance
that the railroad will be kept underground. To
tear the roof from the tunnel and transform it
into an open cut would be TO impair the value
of the property along the avenue and TO cause
great loss and hardship TO its owners. The rail-
road underground is nuisance at times, with
its noise and with the smoke and gas which are
emitted from the existing openings. With the
openings enlarged enough to affect appreciably
the condition of the tunnel itself, the output of
noise and gas and smoke would be correspond
ingly increased, and the railroad would be
greater nuisance than ever to the inhabitants
of Park-ave
For this menace to a fine street the railroad
is not particularly to be blamed. Doubtless it
would like TO transform the whole tunnel into
an open cut But it appears not TO have made
any move toward doing until the Health
Board set up its penicious activity. Unless re-
ports have done that body gross injustice, the
Health Board did not content itself with order
ing an abatement of the tunnel nuisance but it
dictated the way in which abatement should be
effected-an act which in such a case should
be- if ii is not. beyond its province. Beyond
doubt the conditions of the tunnel should be
improved. for the sake of those who pass
through IL and for the sake of those who dwell
along the street above il. But 'rObbing Peter
10 pay Paul. would not be Improvement.

WEST POINT.

II is gratifying to learn from the annual re-
port of Colonel Mills, superintendent Of the
Military Academy, that in his opinion the in
stitution is now in highly creditable condition.
''It is believed" he says of the corps that no
military body of its size exists which excels IL
''in sodierly appearance and in the perfection of
drill and military exercises, well as in the
higher requirements of devotion 10 duty"
Colonel Mills pays particular attention TO the
subject Of hazing, of which he is able to report
the virtually complete abolition. 1t was the
firm purpose Of the authorities to enforce the
regulations vigorously but the task has been
made comparatively easy by the willing and
loyal obedience of the cadets in accordance
with the promise which was voluntarily made
in behalf OF the corps at the close of the official
investigation last winter. Before that time the
jealous efforts Of the superintendent and the
commandant to stop hazing had been in a meas
ure defeated, owing TO various causes among
which Colonel Mills specifies q defect in the
regulations. the influence Of tradition, a some
what general assumption on the part Of the
cadets that the practice had a beneficial effect
on newcomers, and a measure of public sym
pathy with that view fof the matter. Largely
IN consequence of the investigation, which
showed that acts were pretty frequently COM
mitted, though by a comparatively small pro-
portion OF the cadets. that could not possibly
be defended, and which resulted not only in

but in useful legislation at Washington, Gus.
