Intended for incoming passengers have been In
use for three or four months and have proved
a great convenience. Those for outgoing traffic
are not vet in service. and there has been much
speculation about the amount OF benefit TO be
derived from them. A t-ial of these added ac-
commOdatiOns however Is not desirable unless
the experiment is made under specially guarded
conditions. Much less is involved I'm the I'M
loading than in the loading of trains at the
New York end of the bridge.
It is of little Importance at which of two diff
ferent places a person is deposited on arriving,
bat there must be choice OF platforms when
a passenger is about to embark during nom
rush hours, and there would be the same neCeS-
sity If all elevated trains started from Park
Row during rush hours also. Some trains would
depart from one place and some from another.
Now, different platforms call for the use OF
different stairways. II, for any cause. It were
thought expedient to start a particular train
from another platform than that usually devoted
to il, awful amount of confusion would re-
suit Those who wanted to board it would be
forced to descend one fight OF stairs and ascend
another, The first part of the undertaking
would be next to impossible for there would be
an almost irresistible tide of humanity to be
faced The necessity for an irOnclad system OF
distributing trains is obviously much greater
during rush hours than in nOn-rush hours.
There should be positive assurance that there
will be no departure from precedent before those
new platforms and stairs have been put into
service

FORESIGHT IN SCHOOL POLICY.

The proposal Of the Board of Education to
anticipate the needs of the future by purchas-
ing in advance sites for school buildings which
may not be actually needed for several years
is TO be commended to careful and, We hope,
favorable consideration. With the heavy press
ure which at present rests upon the city treas
ury, the spending Of $14OOOOOO for anything
not Immediately needed may seem to some per-
sons of questionable prOpriety. But on the
other hand. the wisdom and economy of secur-
ing now for S14,O00000 something which will
be imperativey needed within ten years and
which ten years hence will probably cost twice
or three times that sum must strongly appeal
to the prudent business mind.
The plan is exactly in line with the school
building policy which The Tribune has long
been urging, namely, to begin preparations SO
far in advance that the supply will be ready
as sOOn as the need occurs Too generally the
city authorities have waited until there was
actual and instant need of a new school build
ing before beginning its construction. Then the
work of securing a site and erecting a build
ing has taken four or five years, during which
time hundreds OF children have been deprived
of school facilities. In some cases, indeed, by
the time a new school has been completed to
meet a long existing need the need has so in
creased as to make that new building made
Quate. That was because the building was
planned to meet the need existing at the time
when it was begun and not the need which
would exist when 1t was completed, several
years later
1t is not always possible, of course, to fore
cast future needs with mathematical accuracy.
But in the case of schools it is possible to do
with at least large degree Of accuracy.
The rate of increase of population, and OF
school population, is we'll known. So is the
geographical direction of such growth. 1t is
not difficult to forecast with sufficient precision
the parts Of the city in which there will be the
greatest increase Of population in the next ten
years. Shrewd real estate operators and prac-
tisers of honest graft" are doing so every day,
to their great profit. There is no reason why
the city should not do so, and thus secure the
advantage of getting needed lands at the mini
mum price.

PROHIBITING POWER IMPORTATION

The session OF the Parliament of Ontario just
closed passed no more important legislation
than the Electric Power law The speech
from the throne" summarizing the results Of
the session predicts that the law will revolu-
tlOnize Ontarios industries. Probably it will.
Ontario is backward industrially. There is no
coal in the province and the cost OF shipping
coal there has checked manufactures This Ia
the reason for the long agitation for 'cheap
power" an issue which brought the present
Conservative government into office. The law
just passed would seem very radical in this
country, but whatever criticism IL meets with
in Canada is on the ground that It is not radI-
cal enough Government ownership OF a plant
at Niagara has been wisely rejected, and IN
place of this is government control OF the So
verest and most drastic sort over the private
plants for which concessions have been granted
on the Canadian side. The commission which
is 20 be appointed will Elk rates. with a ven
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1906-05-17

geance It will determine absolutely and with
out appeal the price at which power is to De
sold TO municipal or private consumers in Can
ada IL the power companies decline 20 accept
the rates. the commission is authorized TO eA-
propriate their plants Government ownership
Is To be applied to transmission lines. H. foF
instance. Toronto applied for power, the prov
ince would build transmission line 10 thaS
city, which would be compelled to pay per
cent interest on the cost OF the line anu
sufficient annual amount TO sinking fund 20
retire the debenture bonds on the line In thirty
years. 1t is expected that power Will thus De
furnished much more cheaply than il can be
produced from coal, and a great Industrial
awakening in Ontario is predicted.
How rapidly Canada will demand the power
for the production Of which private capital is
making preparations on the Canadian side is
a matter of speculation. Projects now under
way will generate 415,0O0 horsepower, and IL
is estimated that Canada will not be able 70
use more than 100000 horsepower in five years.
For the rest OF the electricity II is expected to
find a market in the United States But plu-
mately it is predicted that the whole produc-
ton will be needed in Canada. Then Canada
will take 1t without regard to the American
demand for she has the unquestiOnable right
10 prohibit the expectation of electric power
This constitutes new danger to the falls. TX
industries have been built up In this country
depending upon the Canadian supply OF power
for support, the pressure for further use OF
Niagaras water will be many times greater
than it is at present 1t will make itself felt
in this country for a further exploitation or
the cataract 20 keep alive American Industries
1t will also make itself felt in Canada for
similar letting down OF the bars so that Can
ada can produce enough power for her own
demands and an excess for export
The provision of the BurtOn-LOdge bill which
prohibits the importation Of power would meet
this emergency temporarily. For three years
IL would prevent the creation of a market In
this country for Canadian electricity. II the
prohibition were permanent, it might check the
development OF the private plants on the Cana
dian side, for there is little present demand IN
Canada. and Ontario's new commission will per-
NIT only slight profits from the sale Of such
power as there is a market for Ontario seems
disposed to encourage private capital TO make
its gains in this country, while helping strug-
Cling provincial Industries to their feet at "rea-
sOnable profits"
