ANOTHER LONDON EXAMPLE.

Now that Captain Piper has begun 10 apply
with conspicuous success at several points q
simple method Of regulating street traffic which
has long been effective in London, perhaps the
proper authorities will give their attention to
another thing which is also better done in the
British capital We refer TO the old and vicious
New-York habit of obStructing the street and
sidewalk wherever new building is going up
or alterations are in progress. 1t is q habit in
which builders have iudulsed So long that they
may think they hare acquired a prospective
right TO do as they please but proper official
action would quickly convince them of their
error. II is fair to say that this nuisance is not
always most fragrant in the case Of big build
s1ngs. Whether from regard for the public or
considerations of private interest. the construc-
ton Of large edi6ce is sometimes managed
In such q manner ss to furnish little cause for
complaint, the sidewalk being kept toleraby
cIesr for pedestrians and the roadway for We
hicles. This is accomplished by putting ma
terials and apparatus in use on q platform
which roofs the sidewalk over, and we are glad
to think that the reasonable practice is spread
ing.
But however that nay be. 1t is an undoubted
fast that Ia 4 great majority Of cases builders
are grossly Indifferent to the convenience of the
public The legal restrictions. II vigorously en-
forced. would give them too much liberty, but
they nay scant attention to the rules which
theoretically bind them. It is familiar thing
10 see half the width Of the street occupied by
materials and refuse In front of q building in
process Of erection and only a narrow passage
way left through piles Of stuff On the sidewalk.
Moreover. the litter is not invariably confined
TO the space directly In front Of the lot where
the work L. going on. 1t not seldom spreads
lstersIly on each side, which Is q particularly
offensive trespass The abuse we are consider
tue is q greater annoyance IN NewYork than
