4 MISPLACED PARK

It IS to be hoped that the Board OF Aldermen
will be rather more careful Of the city's money
than the elected watchdog OF the treasury"
Controller Metz, appears TO be. If the acQuisi-
ton OF the site for which the Board OF Esti-
mate and Apportionment In spite Of the Mayor,
has appropriated S25O,OOO meant the preserva-
ton Of worthy memorials Of Alexander Hamu-
ton, the proposal would make q strong appeal TO
sentiment That statesnan's name Is so closely
bound up with New-York, and his work was 50
potent IN promoting its greatness, that we
should gladly see anything associated with him
preserved for future generations. But there
seems to be no adequate reason for spending
quarter OF a million dollars for the Convent
avenue property. Alexander Hamilton once
owned it, but there IS nothing there TO speak
OF him. He planted some trees there once, but
they are dead. No house in which he lived oc-
cupies the plot, for the Hamilton Grange is not
included In the projected park-nothing IS
there but the bare earth on which he trod. As
we'll buy the site Of the house, long since demol-
ished, where he died, or the Wall street cottage
where he dwelt
There is no need Of the proposed park It IS
close to the Riverside Drive extension and TO
Morningside Park, IN a thinly populated re-
giOn, with only 9,40o people within a radius Of
a quarter Of q mile. St Nicholas Park origi-
nally twenty-six acres IN extent In the sans
neighborhood, has recently been enlarged. High
Bridge Park, with sixty-fOur acreE. serves the
same people, and Colonial Park, Of twelve
acres, is only fifteen hundred feet northeast Of
this projected park Of twelve acres. If the
city has a quarter of a million dollars 10 spend
on a small park, 1t can serve humanity much bet
ter by spending it in g congested district, where
as many at $4,000 people can be found within
circle of a quarter mile radius who need
breathing space. The movement for the Ham1l-
ton Park has no reasonable .r1ndaton In SEN
tment and no justification as a measure Of
practical philanthropy.

correspondent supplies TO The Iron Age
some particulars of plan for the Transmission
Of electric power the projectors Of which enter
tain great expectations. II is proposed to extend
q line now under construction near Niagara Fails
as far as Syracuse, so that its length will be
l62 miles. four or five miles Of It being IN Can
ada.
How ambitious this enterprise is will be better
understood when IL is remembered that at pres
ent there are probably not half a dozen trans
mission lines on the continent which are more
than one hundred miles long. One whose length
is $50 miles. is in Utah and two Others measur-
ing 147 and 2lS miles respectively. are in Cali
fornia. Much the longest line in operation In
the East. that between Shawingin Falls and
Montreal, spans a distance about half as great
as viii the one now begun for the Niagara,
JOckport and Ontario Company, when finished.
Moreover, none OF the Pacific Coast lines carry
more than five thousand or ten thousand horse
power, whereas the new one is expected TO han
die at least forty thousand or fifty thousand
horsepower. At the works from which current
viii be obtained three 1O.OOO-horsepower gener-
Rtors are already in place a fourth is being
Installed, and the plant is designed 70 include
two more IN the near future.
An interesting. though not unique feature OF
the scheme is that while the power is 10 be sold
IN the United States, il is generated IN a for
eign country. For such procedure there IS
at least one precedent, ana IL was also estab-
lished at Niagara Falls. The corporation which
was the pioneer in the wonderful developments
IN that neighborhood during the last ten or
twelve years sustains close relations with a
Canadian company engaged in similar work. and
has arranged 70 buy part or al OF its surplus
power. The Niagara. LOc6pOrt and Ontario
Company follows another instructive example in
using aluminium. instead OF copper. for its cables
Buffalo now gets from Niagara something Ike
forty thousand or fifty thousand electrical horse
power, and is supplied by two lines. The wires
Of one are red, and those Of the other are white.
Aluminium is an excellent conductor OF electric

much lighter. Hence. when the price OF copper
