A DISPATCH from Havana describes
che decoration OF the late battleship
Maine on the tenth anniversary of her
destruction and adds that this is probably
the lsst time the ceremony will be per-
formed, because the new hsrbor iu-
provement plan cOutemplates the remov-
al of the wreck. Proposals in this d.
rection have been made repeatedly be-
fore, but nothing hiss been done, and there
have been persistent rumors that they
were firmly discouraged from Washing
ton. 1t will be interesting to observe,
says the Philadelphia Record, whether
this plqu will advance further than other
plans for clearing Havana harbor OF a
a serious menace to navigation.

Opposition to Building Laws.

Jersey City, New Jersey, has a build
ing Jaw and a Tenement Commission
clothed with authority to carry its pro-
visions into effect. The Newark News
comments on this law and on opposition
which is manifested against its enforce
ment, as follows:
Jersey City was never favorable to this
commission till it had to be. 1t fought
against creating such a body. 1t fought
the tenement-house law in every detail.
Jersey City architects united with Jersey
City politicians to nullify it by weakening
ment owners declared that it would compel
the raising of rents and would thrust indi-
gent families out into the street, and Jer-
Sey City capitalists protested that it would
instantly block the building of any more
tenement-hOuSes and that poor people would
suffer untold hardShipS in consequence. Not
a single one of these predictions came true
The law was vigorously and impartially en-
forced and more and better tenements have
been built and occupied and proved paying
investments than ever before. There seems
to be no good reason for making any
changes in the tenement bureau on the
grounds advocated The law has been and
is being enforced, i'll letter and in spirit and
with marked success. Better let we'll
enough alone.
The problem of enforcing the sanitary
construction Of tenements is beset with
difficulties wherever it's solution is at
tempted. The situation in Jersey City
and the outcome of the struggle to which
the News refers will be watched with in
tereSt by other communities having SINH
lar problems of their oWn.-Evening Wis
