A THING TO BE DONE.

The effort of a committee of graduates OF Har-
ward University to raise $4,000 to insure the
construction of a boulevard from the Charles
River Parkway to Quincy Square. at the corner
of the college yard will he watched with in
terest by every one. 1t is TO be hoped that all
Harvard men will do something more than
watch. AS the committee says, the need has
long been felt for a suitable approach from BOs
ton and the river TO the beautiful Harvard
Yard, surrounded now by its memorial fence,
already containing buildings by such men as
Bulfnch, Richardson and Longfellow, and soon
to be still further enriched by fine examples of
architecture The direct road from Boston now
leads through rows of tall apartment houses,
while the river approaches are narrow streets
lined with ramshackle, squalid, wooden houses,
butchers boxes and the omnipresent Cambridge
''mucker." There is no vista TO the yard it is
the end and crown of no avenue; it is a spot of
beauty surrounded by ugliness
And therein it resembles too many fine ex-
amples of architecture in America, and there
fore the effort TO give it proper approach and
setting should appeal TO all lovers of the beau
tiful and fitting. If the money is raised and the
boulevard built, the result may serve as q re-
proach and example to other institutions and
municipalities, and fewer buildings be set
among inharmonious or inadequate surround
ings Better one example at home than all the
streets i'm Paris.
Here in New-York City we can but feel par
ticularly DESTROYS that the work should be sue
cessfully carried out for President Eliot's sake
After telling US so frankly of our architectural
shortcomings, it must be painful for him 10
look daily on what DR.. Holmes justly declared
the one spot in America indisputably more ugly
than New-York-Harvard Square. The square
has not improved since Holmes died. But when
the boulevard is built the president can look
from his front porch down a broad, elm lined
way to the Charles. Let every loyal Harvard
man hasten the timei

TIE MAYORS TALK.

In entering upon the discussion of large mu-
nicipal questions Mayor Low has adopted
good policy. No better way can be found of
drawing public attention TO the real problems of
city government Too frequently official inter
views are confined TO announcement of appoint
,nents answering questions about details of
momentary interest. The news of the day
does not much concern itself with general prin-
cples. Remarks by the Mayor on any subject
are, however, news in the most advanced
sense, and even when they are academic in
character will arouse public interest and atten-
tion which would not be given to the same
problems otherwise presented.
The subject dealt with by the Mayor in yes
terday's talk is in a sense academic and decid-
eddy complex This country has had political
campaigns which turned on propositions of
finance, and the educational process involved
turned every corner grocery into a school of po-
1itieal science and economics. The possibility
of Introducing the mass OF New-YOrk voters into
The mysteries of the city sinking funds Is per-
haps less promising than was the prospect of
making them experts on the merits of gold and
silver as money standards. Nevertheless, the
financial conduct of the city deserves attention
and public sentiment should be aroused TO Sc
cure from the next legislature such action as
may be necessary 10 put the city's business on
a logical and economical basis. It is a serious
question just how far one generation should
sacrifice itself 10 posterity. The limit of in
debtedness is wisely provided TO prevent the
present generation from sacrificing posterity TO
itself, and It is undoubtedly right to insist upon
forehanded provision for the payment of debts
by those who are the benefcaries of improve
ments. At the same time 1t is certainly foolish
TO burden the people of to-day with unnecessary
taxes merely to pile up in sinking funds more
money than is reasonably required TO meet out
standing obligations. Such policy means that
we are not merely paying as go, but pinch
ing ourselves so that the next generation shall
have at our expense an overlooking treasury
from which TO pay for its legitimate improve
,nents or indulge its extravaganza.
Most OF the Improvements for which bonds
are issued are of such continuing benefit that it
IS perfectly proper that the future should help
pay for them. A large part of the charge is
borne in the course of few years by the inn
mediate benehciaries, and the period of time in
which the debt runs Is not so long but that
those who last contribute in most cases obtain
value received. This is particularly true of the
cost Of dock improvements. Not only do they
permanently increase the commercial facilities
OF the city and promote its wealth. but they
bring into the treasury o direct revenue far In

MONEY NEEDED.

As a rule we prefer to let the work of The
Tribune Fresh Air Fund reported from time to
time in our news columns, tell the story of its
own requirements; but, said at the lie
ginning of the season, 1t seems desirable once
in a while to announce frankly that money is
needed Such a necessity exists now. Engage
ments with the owners of country homes are
being filed as rapidly as the cash on hand per-
mits and already 2,624 children have been sent
out of the city for fOrtnights stay among
strange and delightful scenes. But the offers
of hospitality far exceed the present ability of
the fund to make them available, while as the
summer advances the plea of the tenements
grows more insistent. AS a glance at the list
of acknowledgements will show. the amount re
ceived thus far is $1,000 80. from which it is
apparent that If all the bills were payable at
once there would be a considerable deficit the
average cost of a two weeks visit to the coun-
try being a little less than So for each child.
Clearly, therefore, additional contributions can
not come too quickly, for the seasons work is
only just well under way.
Generosity does not depend on the tempera-
ture, but surely the hot and depressing weather
OF the last few days should remind those who, in
spite of superior advantages, have found it ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable. that there are many
others who have suffered much more severely.
That reflection ought to have the effect Of re-
plenishng the Fresh Air Fund. which is what
experience has led us to expect. But We do
not hesitate under the circumstances to urge
our readers to be liberal-and prompt

NETWORKS BUSY SUMNER.

From Castle Garden TO the Yonkers line, and
especially in every district of the Borough of
Manhattan, building operations are so actively
in progress and on so large a scale that it is in
evitable the Tax Department should make eX-
tensive increases in real estate valuations IN
no part of the world are so many new structures
of great cost rising as in the territory be-
tween Battery Park and the Harlem River.
New-York architects and designers, engineers
and contractors, have never been so busy be
fore as they have been in recent months. The
news and advertising columns of The Tribune
both in reading matter and illustrations, have
borne conspicuous testimony to the marvellous
expansion of this swiftly developing city.
The army Of wage earners in New-York IS
more than usually numerous this summer, and
the sums paid out weekly to employees are far
in excess of any totals ever reached before in
July. For men who are willing TO work the
opportunities for employment are wonderfully
varied and satisfactory. and the number of per-
sons looking for jobs, TO use a common phrase.
who are capable OF doing a fair days toll, is
comparatively small. The subway contracts.
the Jerome Park Reservoir the New East River
Bridge, the changes in transportation lines, the
municipal undertakings, the new manufactures
and industries OF many kinds, the enlargement
OF trade and the immense array of new build
!ngs which have been begun have brought TO
town many workers If a census Of New-York's

population were taken now it would show a
large advance over the figures of the federal
counting of 1900
Some other large cities In the United States
are suffering from extensive strikes. Here
there are at present few quarrels of signifi-
canoe between employers and employed, and
workingmen appear TO be treated with such con-
sideratiOn that they are less inclined to make
new demands than in other years. During most
of the months of last winter and spring the
weather was exceptionally favorable for out
door activities, and building operations We're
carried on with few delays and Interruptions.
Almost all conditions seem to have conspired
together for the advantage of NewYork except
the troubles in the anthracite coal regions. But
the strike of the miners in Pennsylvania has
not yet brought about enforced idleness among
any wage earners in this city. With much
prosperity here. with labor well paid extern
siveIy employed and apparently contented; with
capital fourishng and hopeful; with an honest,
high minded city government sincerely devoted
to the public welfare; with much doing and
so much to be done hereafter, NEWCOMERS may
be reasonably happy even in the hot months
of July and August.

A SLUuIfING INCIDENT.

Members of a Summing party had an ex-
tremely unpleasant experience in the raid which
was made night before last on one of the dis
orderly saloons of the lower East Side. 1t is
very disagreeable, if you belong TO the respect
able class of society, TO be arrested and taken
10 q police station simply because you have
been found in the company Of lewd and dis
orderly persons, and the discomfort and hui
initiation of it are the harder TO bear If you
happen to be a woman But the action of the
police in securing as prisoners all the women
found In the resort was not unusual. nor is It
TO be censured; a policeman's duty is TO obey
orders and not to make fine social distinctions
The sergeant In charge at the station 10 which
were taken of course released them after their
status as members of a Summing party had
been established, but it is not recorded that he
offered any apologies for the treatment they
had received. None were necessary, and ii Is
likely that the views OF one young woman as TO
the practicability Of handling pitch have under
gone a radical change. 1t is hard to summon
sympathy for her misadventure, and still harder
to excuse the men who accompanied her on an
expedition so foolish and unbehtting. Yet she
and they are probably representatives OF too
large class OF otherwise we'll conducted per-
sons who think It smart" TO study 1.-THE other
half" not in the kindly and noble aspects that
often reward the really sympathetic investi-
gatOr-that would not be sufficiently bohemian
but in its most bestal and degraded forms.
Such dcvotees of stunning may read the tale
of the Bayard-st. raid with profit.

excess of the cost of the investment. Posterity
would be mrich better off if instead of swelling
the sinking funds unnecessarily we used the ex-
cess beyond reasonable provision for our debts
in making permanent improvements which
would develop the city. The resulting wealth
and beauty would be more appreciated than
money accumulation, for they pay large in
terest. The next generation does not want to
take over city with neglected pavements, in
adequate schools, obsolete docks and generally
unsightly appearance. If the taxpayers have
money TO spend it should be used to keep the
city up to date.
