THE NEW STATE PARK.

Thanks to the prompt assistance rendered by
the city plan committee of the Municipal Art
Society. by various influential citizens and by
legislators. The Tribune's proposal to make Fire
Island a state park brought TO fruition last
Friday. when Governor Hughes signed the Burke
bill BY this act end has been made to the hopes
of sundry enterprising real estate spectators
who have now and then sought TO relieve the
State Land Board of the old cholera camp.
ca led by them white elephant
It is not surprising that the Legislature has
seen fit. not merely TO retain this white ele-
phant. but TO convert the same into public in
stitution. Over and over again the public has
sold land at market rates only to buy 1t back
again at a magnified price. Repea tedy the pur-
chase of other land has been delayed until an
insider found time and opportunity to secure
II and sell AT a huge advance. In other cases.
land in very desirable locations had passed
wholly out OF the market and could be secured
for public uses only through the ridiculously
extrayagant condemnation commission. These
irving vacaries of real estate have taught their
lesson. however: sorely vexed by them, the peo-
pie have acquired the habit of thinking twice,
thrice and maybe some more before disposing
of nublic acreage or refusing an open and shut
bargain The deliverance of Fire Island ezem-
plifies this fact.
There is nothing speculative in the establish
ment OF the new state pbrh- W OuluDe purCnaS-
ers have declared the great sand ridge hope
lessy remote; others have shaken their heads
doefully because neither trees amusement
parks can grow there. The grain OF truth in
these objections is not enough to save them.
OF course, the new park will never usurp the
functions of Riverside Drive or Coney Island,
but, without the slightest expense to the state. It
may become the greatest fresh air camp In the
world. 1t is large enough to accommodate,
without interference picnickers, children's
camps convalescents' colonies and invalids set

of New York City its wonderful air, beaches

to think that another generation will see Fire
Island the most remarkable public health resort
fringing any sea: Some prophets say that New
York City in those days will have over twenty
million inhabitants and the hfty-mile zone twice
that number. If poor children and convaescents
will be half AZ numerous then now they will

EOTR YEARS Al PANANt.

The return of Secretary Taft from Panama
is q reminder Of the fact that it was just four
wears ago this month that the United States
took actual possession Of the canal zone and
undertook the work Of completing the canal. 1t
was on Nav l. 1904. that Mr.. Renaudin. in be
half Of the French company. transferred the
effects of that corporation 10 Lieutenant Brooke,
the representative Of the United States govern
ment Five days later the President issued
orders concerning the government of the canal
zone and authority over the zone was formally
transferred from the Panaman TO the American
government on June j. On the latter date also
Mr. Wallace became chief engineer of the canal,
and a fortnight or SO later he arrived on the
isrhunaus and began operations.
AT that time the French had been AT work,
with sosre inrermissions since February J. 1881
more than twenty three years and two months.
They had begun with The expectation Of COZ
structing a sea level canal twenty eight feet
deep in seven or eight years at cost of S114,-
10000 In the twenty-tbree years they had
got rid Of three times that amount of money
one third Of il being spent on the canal, one
third wasted and one-third stolen. The amount
spent had however. been on the whole well
spent They had done much good work. They
had found the highest ground the line OF the
canal at Culebra, 312 feet above tide level, and
had reduced its elevation more than one half
leaving for us q cut 161 feet deep, with its
lotion only Isl feet above the sea and at
Bas Obispo they had reduced the elevation
from z33 TO only IS feet In all, including di-
version channels they had excavated about ST.
s4sooo cubic yards Of material
The Americans took bold in the spring Of
1909 At first their work merely explora-
tory and experimental. Then it suffered various
delays practically all the men being called off
for some time IN 1905 for sanitary engineering
work. Nevertheless. ia scarcely four years

feature OF the case, of that amount 1886, 49,

NEW JERSEY RAILROAD CROSSINGS

Commendable though somewhat beated action
New Jersey in institutng, or asking the AttOr-
ney General to institute, suits against various
railroads TO compel the abolition of dangerous
grade crossings. After all the controversy and
fuss of the last few years TO secure new legIsIa-
ton it has suddenly been discovered that the
10 compel railroads to abolish grade crossings
wherever they obstruct traffic or imperil human
life. 1t is pretty clear that all grade crossings
obstruct or impede traffic in thickly settled COM
munities, and that they mperil life In all places
unless they are guarded by watchmen
The Railroad Commission acts with excellent
discretion in its plan Of campaign. 1t has not
gone to the one extreme of bringing a general
suit for the abolition Of all grade crossings nor
to the other Of bringing suit against q single
road 1t has carefully selected four of the most
dangerous crossings in the state. at which there
have been most disasters and DELAYS OF traffic
and one of which is each of the four prncipaI
railroad systems of the state. NJ better plan
could have been devised for testing the law = nj
the charters of the various roads. The scheme
is, of course TO sue for the abolition Of crossIn. y
which are manfesty causes of delay and dan
ger If the law can he applied for their aboli-
ton, the principle of its efficiency will be estab.
lished, and the only question remaining will h.,
how many other crossings can be proved TO be
also causes Of delay and danger.

in only IA per cent much time.
That is ample indication of the superiority or
the American over the French system. though,
of course, much of that superiority Is due to the
general advance Of scientific and technicai
knowledge. 1t indicates, too, that so far as the
simple work of e1cavating is concerned the
canal could easily be completed in very Few
years. But excavation is no longer the gauge OF
progress. At first Mr.. Wallace, with the sea
level idea in view, reckoned that the time re-
Qured TO complete the canal was the time re-
qured to cut the Cuebra gap down 10 tioe
water. But all that is changed. The time no"
required for completing the canal is the tiiile
which will be required for building that stu

must have been also noticed that the number of
