PREPARING FOR THANKSGIVING

New York. Nov. 2o.--The next mag
niflcent public building to be erected
Ina New York city will be n court
house costing s25,000,000. The site
will probably be on Mulberry Bend
Park. site convenient to the city
nan and midway between the Brook
| Ign and Williamsburg bridges. The
building will ne an enormous affair,
planned and built with an idea OF fur
nishng sufficient court space for
| city three times the size OF the pres
ent one.
At the present rate II will not be
long before New York will have
| population as large as that OF Lon
| don, for this city seems to De grow
/ ing much more than its English RI
| val. The population is gradually ap-
/ preaching the 100000 mark and OF
| the 3.723, 1903 people recorded In the
Health department estimate. 1921. s9T

catered in New York city and other
loroughs. A..
Despite the fact that Tammany will
/ be in control Tor the next two years.
there Is a growing hope that New
York will have fairly respectable
| city government Even at It's worst,
| an Improvement over the van Wyck
administration Is assured. Tammany
paid dear for the nagrant crimes OF
that regime and men close to Leader
Murphy assert that the latter will not
risk another popular uprising against
the organization by a repitlon OF the
baleful excuses of the Van Wyck
rule another deterrent 20 license
and open corruption is Murphy's am
btion To- attain a commanding posi-
ton in national politics.
An importa n event In art circles
will be the opening OF the fourteenth
annual exhibition OF the New York
Water Color club at the galleries OF
the American Fine Arts society this
afternoon. The exhibition will con-
tinue until December l3. ana many
handsome original water colors and
pastels never before publicly exhi-
bited in New York have been re-
ceived to form the largest and best
display that has been known in the
history OF the society.
The primaries for the election OF a
city committee OF the Citizens Union
will be held Monday night next and
political gossips have II that II. Full
ton. whose work among the fusion
lists has been so conspicuous In this
city, will retire from the presidency
of the union. There is no doubt that
the members OF the organization
would be glad 10 re-elect Mr.. Cutting.
but he is said to prefer to be chosen
chairman OF on organization com
mittee. which he hopes VIII greatly
extend the organization throughout
the city. The present suggestions for
the head OF the union to succeed Mr..
Cutting are DIR. Elgin r. l.. Gould.
the present City Chamberlain; Fran
els g. Huntington or Calvin Temp
kins, all o. whom are independent
democrats. The present hope OF this
movement is that in time the repub-
lican party will be entirely superced-
,, ed as a municipal quantity, and that
the Union will be left alone as the an
tagonist of Tammany hall.
proposition that has been agitat-
ed for long .lme by the entire south
> ern section of New York state Is the
enlargement and the deepening of the
Fire Island Ipiet, which is a stone
breakwater guard. 1t is now very prob
able that congress will be asked 10
make an appropriation for a survey
: OF the inlet 10 be followed by an al.
. lowance for the construction OF the
work. II Ia stated that the inlet would

harbor for ocean going vessels. II
would offer a stragetic haven for war

other ways prove advantageous.
New York probably makes the

without exception elaborate services
are prepared ioI the various churches
throughout the city and apart from
these services the committees for the
