URBAN RsTHETIcS
Progress in Making Cities Safe and
Healthful.

hCdAlulu4s
There is in New York an organi-
cation known as a Municipal Artso-
ciety," which has for its declared pur-
pose nothing less than the evolution
of a city beautiful out Of the five dis
jointed boroughs comprising the
American metropolis. Here, indeed,
says the Philadelphia Record, is some
thing worth working for-something
that will endure as an issue and an
inspiration.
Progress in this direction, especial
ly in the mushroom cities of the
union, has been confined largely to
two factors-sanitation and transpor-
tation. Streets are cleaner and bet
ter paved than formerly, sewers larg-
er and more skillfully built, charita-
bic agencies and systems of public pro
lection more widely diffused, arch
tectural forms more closely adapted
to intended uses, and public conyen-
fence in rapid transit and in recrea-
ton more s~edulously consulted; but
creation and construction have been
alike desultory and h%aphazard. In
every large city the urgent demands
of increasing populations have so far
outrun the capacities of public and
private sources Of supply that even
necessary elements of urban exist
ence have been stinted in supply. It
is difficult to appeal effectively to pop
ular sympathy for a city beautiful
when water supply is bad, public
school facilities inadequate and
means of local communication and
transportation deficient. In truth.
there can be little hope Of results from
such entreaty during the earlier
formative period Of modern munich
palities.
With all our boasted progress and
enlightenment, the general plan o.
the congeries Of habitations which
men call cities has yielded little t.
the spirit Of improvement, and moth
ing to mere aestheticism. The mar
row streets that suficed in the i%nfanc,
of transportation as a public conven
fence are no wider to-day than in tn,
earlier years Of the republic. A
every point there is crowding, discom
fort and often danger. Disregard o
and disrespect for imposing natura
features of landscape prevail withou
abatement among municipal mag
mates, and are coldly commended b.
commercialism. Men strive first t
be comfortable and afterward arts
tic. When the limit of population
and material Improvement shall hay
been reached, then, alasl it will b
too late to realize the plans an
schemes Of dreamers who can see n
reason why a city should not be as fai
to look upon and as reflective of ael
thetic sentiment as the isolated HON
Of any modern grandee.

The landlord is frequently mentioned
in the columns Of the paper, but the tenant
is almost entirely overlooked. The follow

board aud also OF the examining ,mmitee,
which is to award the prizes. The members

They are permitted 10 go through the
whole house TO search ashcans and gar
