SIGHTLINESS EASILY ACQUIRED

Must a city be rebuilt in order to attain attrac-

10 the necessary and utilitarian.
The feeling awakened as a result of miSgoverr-
mcnr in American communities has lately cooper
ated with sentiments fostered by more abstract
ideals TO demand correct art in public work. There
is scarcely n city of any importance. primary or
secondary. which is not now aspiring to higher
aesthetic standards. The five or six leading cities
are investing millions of dollars in constructing fine
bcrlevards and p~arkways. in improving prominent
thcrOIIghfarcs. in establishing new parks. especially
small parks. in erecting attractive public buildings,
and in many other enterprises which will add to
the general beauty and provide comforts and enjoy
ment for the people.
Both in Europe and North America the chief
cities aim principally n boulevarGs. park and street
improvements. and especially NJ encircling, or

Petersburg. copenhagen s'ochiioiil' iarls' heriin'

considerable progress at enhancing the appearances
of streets and public places. In the United States
similar work is being done in New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia. st. Louis and Boston. as well as IN

o0GO0 or more.

WATER RATES AND EMBARGoEs.

WATER RATES AND EMBARGOES.
The renewed movement 10 make a further reduc-
ton in the water rates for manufacturing establish
mentS is in striking contrast with the attitude of the
city toward the manufacturing establishments To-
Gated near the water front.
Surely the city cannot afford to reduce The rates
as an encoIrag cement to manufacturing enterprise
while denying manufacturers the privilege of draw
ing free water direct from The river without ex-
pense TO the city.
The two lines of policy are essentially and rad
ically Inconsistent. Certainly. if the city cannot AT
ford TO let manufacturing industries pipe water II
their own expense from the river. because that pol
cnue required for the maintenance and operation of
tie Naterworks system, it cannot afford to make a
costly reduction in the rates charged other manu-
featuring industries. And. on the other hand. if it
can afford the reduction in rates it looks like a very
narrow policy 10 bar free access to the river when
manufacturers seek 10 draw water from it at their
own expense.
There is strong reason to believe the city would
hc wise in pursuing a broad and liberal policy in re-
spect to private pipe lines for pumping direct from
the river. 1t might be of material advantage to the
city TO encourage this form of enterprise under
proper guards and regulations. OF course. the use
Of water obtained in this way would have 10 be re-
stricted wholly TO manufacturing purposes. since it

nicipal control over the water used for drinking. for
obvious sanitary reasons. \ general ordinance could
readily he framed. however. which would effectively
guard the public health. protect the water revenue
and stimulate the development of manufacturing
plants along the river front.
