| NEW YORK, February >. 1910.
| There is a good deal of rejoicing among
people who take an interest in such
things because the new mayor of New
York city has shown an active interest
in the work of the municipal art commits
sion. He has not only made two excel
lent appointments to fill the places of
old members whose terms expired the list
of January, but attended personally the
first meeting of the hoard under his
administration and presided over its de-
alterations as eX-officio president, some
thing which Mayor Mcclellan never found
time to do.
Mayor Gaynor also showed a deep in
terest in the work of the commission,
asking many questions concerning mat
tiers that were pending and some that had
been decided during the term of his pred
eecessor. He expressed himself in favor
Iof rigid scrutiny of all public works
and objects under the jurisdiction of the
commission, holding that we cannot have
too high a standard of artistic excellence.
and that the commission should adhere
strictly to it.
The mayor has recently appointed in
the place of Frank .. Millet. who is
spending most of his time in Washington,
another well known artist, Francis G..
Jones, who studied at the Ecole des
Beaux Arts in Paris under several of
the best masters. and has had studio
in New York since 1885,. He won the
Clark prize of the National Academy of
Design in 1885 and silver medals at the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo and
at the ST. Louis exposition. He is a
member of the American Water Color
Society," the Architectural League and the
Society Of Mural Painters, and his judg
ment is held in high esteem.

Old Custom Continued.

In the year 1863, when municipal gov
eminent was first established on Man
haitian Island, and the first city hall
was erected, room was reserved for
the use of the governor of the colony,
and that practice has been observed ever
since. When the present city hall was
erected in 1896 the common council au-
ly furnished, but in 1883 it was seriously
injured by fire, and was never properly
restored. Several years ago, when inter
est in historical associations began. to
develop, it was proposed to restore this
historic room so far as possible to its
original condition, but the board of al
dermen did not consider itself justified in
making an appropriation for the expense.
Under those circumstances Mrs. Russell
Sage. who has taken an ardent interest
| In the improvement of the appearance OF
things in New York, offered to supply
the necessary funds. not to exceed S25,
900, provided the decorations and fur
| niture were restored substantially to their
| original condition under the supervision
| of the municipal art commission. Her
idea was to make the governors room
| in the city hall an object lesson to other
cities; to furnish model which could be
studied and sketched by students Of art
purity of one of the most notable works
of John McComb, official architect of
the city, who designed the city hall
and several other of the finest buildings
| in New York.
| A committee consisting of Frank u.
Millet, Robert w. DE Forest, Arnold w.
Drummer. John b. Pine, Walter Cook and
II. T. Halsey was appointed to super
wise the restoration. 1t was possible to
make it complete because OF the discov-
cry of the original drawings of the room
in the library of the New York Historical
Society and a Treatise on the Deco
| rative Part of Civil Architecture pub
lished in London in 1891. The grand
daughter of John McComb also had sew

summer has to pay for this amount of
water at the regular fancy prices
charged for the meat. Not all cold

AFTER COLD STORAGE PLANTS.

When the senate created a special
committee to investigate high prices
and the causes for them. there was
much wagging of heads on the part of
certain wise men. They were free
with their predictions that such an
investigation would not amount to
much; that it would not bear much
in the way of fruit: and that, as a
matter of fact, it had been started
for the express purposes of giving
the tariff a clean bill of health as not
being responsible in any way for the
high cost of living, and also for the
further purpose of protecting the 9TH
err interests" with which it is alleged
that the Republican party is bound
hand and foot.
Recent news dispatches from Wash
ingtoh would appear to indicate 9TH
erwise. The investigation is far from
being completed. Yet the members of
the committee have already reported
to congress a suggestion that a law be
passed which will prohibit cold stor-
age plants from keeping foodstuffs for
longer period than a year. It is the
opinion of the committee that under
the present methods of keeping stuff
in storage as long as it suits the fancy
of the people who own it, the chance
is presented for q manipulation of
prices which is detrimental to the
consumer.
1t has been the expressed opinion of
many persons during the recent vol
luminous discussion as to the reasons
for the present high prices of most of
the foodstuffs of the perishable sort,
that the cold storage people were an
important factor in making the high
prices possible. This has been denied
by the cold storage men, as was to be
expected, but the investigations of the
senate committee to date warrant its
members in expressing the opinion
that the activity Of the cold storage
