OCE4N PARKWAY IMPROVEMENTS.

The extensive Improvements now being made
at the southern end Of the Ocean Parkway are
to be regarded with unqualified qualification.
They are such as The Tribune has for a long
time been urging as not only desirable but
actually necessary for the convenience, pleas
ure and safety Of the public. When they are
completed as we assume they will be during
the spring, the attractiveness Of that unsur-
passed pleasure highway will be greatly en-
hanced alike to riders and drivers, TO wheelmen
and pedestrians. The only regret will be that
the fine esplanade cannot at once be extended
much further to the west, and also, as Of old, to
the east. One of these days, let Us hope, that
will come and we shall have several miles of
such espIanade. Meantime, let us rejoice in
what we have, and In the fact that the Ocean
Parkway at last has a cTeditable beach ter
minus instead of a mere hole in the sand.
There are other improvements, however,
which need to be made on the Ocean Parkway,
and to which we have already referred. One Of
these is the removal of the hideous advertising
hOardings which disfgure it at various points.
These are not so numerous as they were few
years ago, but they are still painfully in evil
dence One of the worst Of them is gigantic
sign on the top Of hotel building, advertising
6 well known commodity. The building itself is
a marvel Of unsightliness, but topped with this
big sign it is calculated to make even an auto
mobile shy out Of the road. The whole mon
strous combination stands, too, just at the finest
point Of the Parkway, at the very point where
tts oBtrusive ugiiness and vulgarity are most
apparent and most offensive. The competence
OF the law to take cogniZance of such things
and to prevent the Disagreement OF parks and
parkways with them Is unquestionable, and it
should promptly be put into practice.
The withdrawal Of the racing privileges on
the parkway and the proper macadamizing Of
the-whole roadway must also come before long,
and should come at the earliest practicable
date. The furious racing which is now per-
mitted on the parkway attracts thither large
throzg Of sporting" men, and Is doubtless q
source Of profit TO the puryeyors OF spirituous
refreshment But ii makes the drive unsafe for
the use Of pleasure drivers, and it deters thou
sands or people from going down the parkway
at the very time when they most wish TO go
and when it is pleasantest 70 90. Besides,
keeping mile and q half of the central part OF
the drive covered with clay and loan, so as TO
be fit for racing, makes IL unft for pleasure
driving at any time, for It is almost invariably
either muddy or dusty. Professional horse
men and sporting" men would, Of course, re-
gret to see the racing privilege withdrawn.
But they are after ali, a minority of the pub
lie. They really have no right to expect a
great public pleasure drive TO be given up to
them Cor training and racing purposes. The

SnRKAY DISTRACTIONS.

r,ouar,,sa,onar wilcox deserves hearty COM
,nondsfion for his determined efforts to drive
the subway contractors from Bryant PARK. he
bos hitherto had struggle with them over the
IN treatment OF trees, which they were lnJuring
with guy ropes and smothertng with ouloang
material evan when the line did not involve
+belr removal He won that fight, and his per-
sistence. in putting an end to encroacnment on
the park space will probably again De reWarueu'
The people Of this city are inclined to put up
good naturedIy with a. great deal OF lhcohVeh-
fence because Of the rapid transit WORK Ihey
realize the impossibility of building the subway
without digging up the street, and are disposed
TO give the contractors every opportunity TO DO
their work to the best advantage. They have
horne without much complaint disappointment
about the way the streets would be kept free'
acrepting the excuses that structural steel ha0
not been obtainabIe for the subway as expected
when excavations were made. 1t was promised
in the beginning that only short sections OF the
streets would be opened, and covered DeIore au-
Joining sections were torn up. AS matter Oh
fact. for a long time the whole length OF the
subway was a stretch of chaos and dark night.
After structural work has been completed anu
the subway rooted, the sub-contractors nave
been indifferent to public convenience and nave
neglected to I'LL in their bitches and restore the
street. II some l0SIduCSo MI uANAO--"ANA
interfered to correct abuses brought to his at
teDtion which sub-contractOrs solemnly de;
cIsred were absolutely unavoidable, as When
they refused to make a footbTidge on which
person could go from Park Row to Broadway
between the City Hall and the Postomce. 10
dsv the subway there is complete and the
trench half filed, but the contractor seems TO
have wearied Of his job. Instead Of going on, ne
has left the barricades to surround refuse heaps
of timbers He has not even put his IooC-
bridges near Frankfort-st. over the two excaVa-
tions in Park Row in line. The traveller crosses
the street half way and then must walk IN the
maze Of cars and wagons at risk OF life ana
limb until he finds an opening in the renee Oh
the other side Of the street This nuisance
could easily be remedied IL the contractor look
nny interest in public comfort. AS we say IN
convenience is to be expected and cheerrully
borne but patience ceases to be virtue in the
face of mere needless Interference with trafnc'
It also ceases to be a virtue when pubic
property is occupied as a storage room or tac-
tory site merely to save expense of doing the
work or keeping supplies on private property.
That seems to have been the case with the SUD-
contractors who have camped in Bryant PARK.
If they want an office let them rent room near
bv. Let them set up their stone crusher some
where else, and bring their materials TO the
subway as they need them. We are ready to
endure much for rapid transit, but we should
like a little more effort to observe the orlglnal
promises regarding distractions.

HUDSON ICE AND WATER.

There is much suggestion not altogether
agreeable. in the bracketng together OF TWO cur
rent topics One is the movement Tor prohlDl-
ton of ice cutting on the Hudson River, on the
ground of danger Of typhoid infection-a subject
treated at length elsewhere IN to-day's Tribune.
The other is the proposal, set forth in our col
umns a few days ago. for securing from that
same Hudson River q supply Of water Tor
New-York City. Upon the face OF the case one
would say that IL the water is too polluted Tor
Ice it is certainly unfit for use as water. Con-
versely in spite OF an old superstition, II 1t Is
ur7t for. use as water it is Unfit for Use as ice.
The superstition is that freezing purihes water,
SO that the fee cn the most polluted pond is
clean and pure Probably some impurities are
precipitated. so that the ice is less foul than
the water beneath. But that freezing destroys
or precipItates typhoid germs or various other
Injurious impurities is absHrdly untrue. There
is ample reason for believing that many cases
Of typhoid fever have been caused by the use OF
ice from contaminated waters.
For a great many purposes, and, indeed, for
the majority Of then it does not matter wheth-
er The Zee is pure or nct-that is where the
ice IS used simply for cooling, and not as an
actual ingredient Of drink or food. 1t would be
well for various reasons, If all fee were thus
used II soma rare cases It may be necessary
scfuaJly to swallo7g ice, solid or melted. Ply
sfclsns sometimes direct patients TO let bits Of
ice dissolve IN their mouths But in the over
vvheIming majority Of cases the actual mingling
Of fee with food or drink is unnecessary, and
Is done through cereIessness or dsinclination
IN rske mains. Water can pe cooled for drink
Eng without letting chunk of ice dissolve In
the pitclaer or tank, and without having ice and
zste- conae into direct contact, and thus cooled
st IS really more palatable and refreshing and
far more wholesome, than the mixture Of water
es.a zaeIted ice now so commonly used. What
.vse Yasz be the source Of Ice and whether It
- free from ssrms or laden with them, it is
se1ziDenkiy desirable for peepls 90 reform their
