TIE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

The incident of the occupation of its new
building was fifty celebrated yesterday by the
Chamber of Commerce, or. to put the fact In
another way and perhaps more in accordance
with the spirit of the occasion, an interesting
occurrence in the life Of the institution was
fitly celebrated by others. Certainly the pres
ence OF many distinguished guests from dis
tant points including representatives Of for
eign powers and the President and eX-Presi-
dent of the United States, was an impressive
tribute to the character and services Of the
Chamber. In this State. and more particularly
in this CITY the value of its contributions to the
general credit and welfare has long been CRATE
fully recognized. while its generosity IN sen
sons of disaster and aflictiOn has known no
limits of race or locality. To the special honor
of the Chamber 1t should be emphatically said
that. while it has been constantly interested in
all questions of public moment and has given
prompt support to a vast variety of causes, its
activity has never been Of the fussy order. 1t
has not wasted its energy and misapplied its
zeal In the furtherance Of petty or irrational
projects which may have inspired a temporary
and i'll deserved devotion, but has uniformly
lent fits influence to policies and undertakings at
least worthy Of respect; and therefore when, as
on this occasion, it invites an expression OF
good will, though all may not agree that its
judgment has in every instance been vindicated
during the century and third of its existence,
the response is cordiaLsa sincere.
AS Mayor Low in offering the city's congratu-
latiOns yesterday aptly remarked, II is charac-
teristic Of the Chamber Of Commerce that its
members should have been slow to provide
themselves with a spacious and stately home.
Liberality Of service rather than its own ag-
grandizement has been It's guiding principle.
Even fits annual banquets have not been merely
devoted to brief enjoyment and hospitality, but
have been designed to encourage authoritative
discussions of important topics Of local and ma
tional concern. An indefinite extension OF this
long. honorable and highly useful career must
be universally desired

Labor strikes and other causes OF delay ought
TO be counted upon in advance. The same engi-
neering experience which allows factor Of
safety" In design should also allow a wide
margin of time in provision for construction.
This incident will unquestiOnably revive In
many minds the wish that the municipal au-
thorities would abandon bridge building for In
terborough communication and rely on tunnels
instead. The latter are not only much cheaper
than the former. but they can be constructed
much more rapidly. The argument in favor Of
tunnels has been presented in these columns
time and time again. Monday nights fire af-
fords a fresh reason for their consideration.
