Sir: In statement published behalf OF the
council Of the National Academy OF Design by its
secretary concerning the proposed building In Cen
trail Park. he says that at the regular quarterly
meeting Of the academicians. March 10. only one
voice raised against the project"
The matter not. and has at any time
been before the Academy for discussion. A large
number of the academicians know nothing Of the
project but by hearsay. At the meeting on the 9th
one of them after the transaction of regular bust
ness asked for enlightenment and stated HIS objec
tions, but as the matter before the meeting
there was no discussion expression of opinion
from those present. The president stated that in
good time the matter would be duly presented TO
the academcians for consideration and debate.
Senator Grady could not press his bill before the
Senate TO amend the Academy charter because
there had been request from the Academy for
such amendment. Now let wait until he gets
that official request ACADENIICIAN.

D1sfyrEGRATToy AND JOINT RATE.

DTSEN TEGRATTOA AND JOINT RATES.
The sters which have been taken by the New
York 4 Harlem Railroad Company, owning the
Madison avenue streetcar line. 10 protect its
interests in the coming foreclosure sale Of the
aTefronolits4l system suggest new possibilities
OF traction dismeHberment. II had been ex-
pected that the buyers of the system would
drop certain of the less profitable lines. but
now IL is possible that the more profitable Of
fhe subsidiary lines viii withdraw from the
combination on their own account. Most Of
them are probably i'm the same position TIE
company which Owls the Madison avenue line
that is the terms of their leases have been
broken through he failure Of the Metropolitan
company TO pay the franchise tax on their
property. or Ia set aside money 10 pay that tax
when pending suits regarding it are settled.
Thus apparently the determinat on Of which
roads shall make mp the reorganized system
srill not necessarily he in the hands of the pur-
chasers at the forthcoming sale. They would
naturally throw ont tho less profitable elements
or those which are entirely unproftabIe2 and
unite the profitable remainder into a single
system. But now the profitable lines. or some
Of them at least, may set up independently
Such movement viii he influenced by two con
Siderations-frst. by what the owners of the
profitable subsidiaries think of the financial
prospects Of the reorganization. and, second by
what they think Of She possibility Of earning
through the independent management Of their
property large dividends as are guaranteed
70 them under their leases. Fortunately for
the bondholders and for tie public. such guar
anteed dividends are in most cases probably so
large that they viii be preferred 10 the pros
poets of independent operation.
still the uncertainty 10 whether this city
Is have an adequate traction system or 10
go hack again TO LOT OF separate lines exists
And this uncertainty affords good reason why
the Legislature should act fayOrabIy upon the
Public Service Commissions recommendation
thaE specific authority be given to it to establish
joint rates betweeII independent streetcar lines
Doubt exists whether II has that authority now
and lis recent order in Tie 5gth street case is
being tested upon that ground. TO protect the

GOOD MElNI RE.

A bill which, if it becomes law, Will material
" improve conditions IN the lower courts IN
this city has been introduced in the Assembly
bv Mr. Ward. It forbids judge TO serve as
an officer or member Of any political committee
or 10 act as district leader for political or
ganiZation.
The Tribune has more than once protested
AGAINST the close association of petty justice
with politics which is involved in a Judge S
acting as a partisan leader. Custom requires
district leader in this city TO be lavish in faVors
to his followers and it is a strain unwfsey put
on Judge to ask him to sit in cases IN Whlch
DoliticaI constituents may be deeply Interested
The spectacle of judges walking in PROFESSIONS

They should be compelled TO choose between
quitting the bench or quitting the active pursuit
