"SKY SIGN" RESTRLCTION.

The Corporation Counsels revised and ex-
tended opinion on the subject OF SKY signs
prepares the way for such regulation as we
have hitherto advocated Apparently the trouble
in the first place that whoever in the Of
fee prepared the first opinion in response to
the request OF the Aldermen did not approach
the subject with any sympathy or take any
pains to help the Aldermen by telling them
what they could do, but dismissed them with
a not too carefully thought out statement of
what they could not do. Probably Mr.. Rives
himself never gave any attention 10 the sub
ject until the shortcomings of the opinion made
In his name had been pointed ont. Now he gives
explicitly the affirmative instruction which the
advocates Of sign restriction desired to guide
them.
The proposed ordinance introduced by Alder
man Ware is pronounced by the Corpora ton
Counsel entirely within the powers of the Board
Of Aldermen. 1t restricts the size of Sky signs"
designates the material OF which they may be
constructed, prescribes the nature Of the fasten-
ings TO buildings, and requires a permit for
their erection. The ordinance as drawn limits
the height OF sky signs'' to ten feet. II it is
legal to fix this limit, It is legal to fix q lower

BUILDING AND REBUILDING.

The oldest NewYorker no matter how dill
gently he may ransack his memory. cannot re-
call time when so many old buildings were
coming down and SO many new ones were going
I'D within the borders of this city. Real estate
operations are exceedingly active. This is an
era of demolition and of transformation. Old
fashioned brownstone fronts by the scores
have been torn down TO give place to handsome,
well designed American basement mansions.
The investments in new hotels. in huge struct-
ures TO be used for office and business pur-
poses. and in apartment houses of almost every
imaginable variety. are mounting so far up
that even the most sanguine prophets of the fut-
ure of New-Yo are amazed. OF new theatres
and other places of amusement there is also
no lack.
There is indeed so much tearing down and
rebuilding in every borough that contractors
were never buster The building trades are
booming as they never doomed before, and 1t
is evident on all sides that our Department of
Buildings under its present management Is
more attentive TO it's duties than 1t was while
the Van Wyck administration was In power
While the wreckng OF old structures and the
raising of new ones are going forward upon so
extensive a scale in so many blocks, the thor
oughfares cannot be kept wholly clear of OBJ
stluctions as they might be in ordinary condl
tons But New-Yorkers will be patient and
considerable while they believe that the laws and
ordinances are enforced with energy and faith
fulness and no favoritsm is shown to one con-
tractor over another.

1t was said to-day in authoritative quarter
that reports that Lord Pauncefote seriously
indisposed not warranted by the facts IN the
case. Those close to the ambassador and fully IN
formed concerning his condition say that he has
been suffering for a long time from govt. but of
has been much better. although the two recent
hot days rather trying for him. A slight asth-
matte trouble has also developed, which led to a
consultation with SpecldHSt III SUCH aileStIohS
His report was satisfactory and this. together with
the improvement in the govt, relieves those about
Lord Pauncefote from any apprehension. 1t is SAID
also that the ambassadors condition has never
given for alarm.

ABOUT KEEPING STILL.

General Funston, who was mildly repri
manded q few days ago by order OIL the 1resi-
dent for saying that Senator Hour hau 'i
overheated conscience, now makes Il rather ui'
necessarily long declaration OF his purpose u
l,ean silent on controverted topics hereafter
PM in consideration of his promise TO be good,
and of the effort which he evidently expects II
will cost him to keep that promise, this latest
deliyerance will probably be deemed to require
no official attention. The general, after eA-
DlaiIling that he meant to bestoW colhpii-
ment not a castigation, upon the senior oeh"-
tor from Massachusetts, admits that nashuch
as there are things to which he cannot refer
without his blood boiling it is wise not to refer
TO them at ala conclusion to which the rule
of better late than never clearly applies, though
he might advantageously have adopted 1t be-
fore he heard from the War Department. Boil
ing blood Is not inevitably Incompatible Win
a discreet tongue but the two are seldom con-
Joined in the same person. The man who Is
conscious that he has the former, especially IL
he belongs to either branch Of the military ser
vice does well to give himself the benefit OF
tho doubt and assume that the latter is not one
of his possessions
For q long time prior TO the Spanish war OIL
GERS of the army and navy were in little dan
ger of saving things that had better be left I'M
said for two reasons: there We're few SUBJECTS
on which they We're strongly moved to express
themselves, and their views We're seldom so
licited. Since then they have been sorei!
tempted and considerable number Of them
have succumbed. At first the navy seemed 10
be particularly susceptible to internal and eN-
ternaI pressure but of late the tendency TO eX-
plode has been more clearly manifest in the
army 4 benevolent excuse for such liberation
of feelings can usually be found but soldiers
and sailors do succeed in resisting many tempta-
tions-the temptation to run away, among
others-and it IS pity that the obligation ol
silence on forbidden topics is not universally
recognized by them as inviolable. Great credit
would accrue to the officer who on being So
licited for speech or an interview should say
amiahly but firmly: You ask me 10 talk IN
1.-THE hope that I may be indiscreet and conse-
"uuently interesting; but l am not going 10 be
"indiscreet and therefore there is no reason
why l should say anything.

one. and we think Alderman Ware might WISELY
amend his measure to forbid SKY sish'
more than five feet high at the most 1t Is ~
be remembered that legal limit OF TINS SUI
practically amounts TO sanction OF all zig lie
not forbidden If the poster fever increases
and a large proportion OF our buildlhss 'ie
canned with ten-foot signs the appearance oh
the CITY will be ruined. We do not want 10
leealize ten-foot "sky signs" That would mean
little Improvement on present conditions. The
Court of Appeals has held it proper TO limit
sicnboards at the street level TO six feet, ana
certainly the danger from high signs up in the
air is greater than from those on the ground.
.Skv signs" interfere more with firemen, anu
are more likely TO be blown down therefore
it is proper to restrict them to smaller SIZE
than that permitted for ordinary billboards.

ITO Plan AN EAST SIDE ROUTE.


The Rapid Transit Commission took up the
ouestion of an East Side tunnel road yesterday,
and promptly declared its hearty approVal vi
the project which The Tribune has been ear
nestlv advocating during the last few weeks.
At first some members Of the board were uls-
nosed 10 think that it lacked authority at pres
emf even TO save time by doing the essehtlai
preliminary work in advance of an Official de
termination on the part of the city TO build I'LL
East Side line But on further reflection that
suggested obstacle was judged not to nave Il
real existence and 1t was Sgreed that prepara-
tions TO carry out scheme which VIII almost
certainly be authorized In the near future
sbould ha completed as far and fast as pos
sible From the extraordinary evidence of pub
lie interest In this matter which our columns
have contained il is safe TO conclude that the
commissions decision will be received with
great satisfaction. 1t would have Deeh eAceeu
fne,v unfortunate if Mr. Orr and his colleagues
had felt bound TO do nothing until they hau
heen uncovered to go ahead with the practlc'i
work of construction. For obviously that work
cannot begin except in accordance with plans
which must be based on long and careful STUDY
of n complicated problem.
The purpose of The Tribune, and of the many
organizations and individuals whose help 1t has
obtained has been 10 save delay without COM
rnittinr the city prematurely to an enterprise
which II is not vet ready. though 1t soon may
he TO undertake. We are glad to believe that
that important object has now been accom-
nIished largely through efforts. and we sin
cera,v thank all who have given their as
