New York's Costly Structures

New York. Dee. 21.-After having
spent between . 0.000,000 and $780,
900, 600 for bridges over the East
river, Father Knickcrbocker Is now
informed that all OF this sum except
about one-quarter the amount tx
pended on the original BROOKLYN
bridge. represents money thrown
away. The persons responsible for
this disquieting statement are the
more or less eminent engineers who
have been critising the latest rapid
transit plans OF the city. These plans,
which provided for a 500, 000, zoe
subway 10 serve three OF the five
%boroughs Of the greater city, contem-
plated the use of two of the new
bridges-the williamsburg and the
Manhattan-to carry these lines owe
the river, but the engineering critics
declare that this is not feasible for
the reason that these bridges are not
located on any main lines of travel,
in short that they do not lead to or
from anywhere. In support OF this
view they point out that none of the
three bridgs built within the past
few years at an outlay Of over $780,
600, 600 is used to more than a small
percentage of its carrying capacity,
while the Brooklyn bridge, In spite of
the efforts made to divert traffic
from 1t, remains at the daily rush
hours the scene of the worst conges-
ton. and the most indecent crowding
to be witnessed anywhere in the
world. Moreover, according 70 the
view of these experts, bridges are
far inferior to tunnels. Just what Is
to be done with these expensive lux
uries in the form of magnificent
bridges II they cannot be made to ful-
fill the purpose for which they were
built, is difficult to say. Al a mark
down sale they would hardly bring
10 per cent Of their original cost, so
it Is probable that they will remain
where they are in the hope that the
future development of the city VIII
bring them into greater usefulness.
Incidentally they may serve as a
striking object lesson ef the wasteful
methods employed In too many So
called city improvements.

WHERE THE HIGH COST
OF LIVING PINCHES

NEW YORK, December 12.-How
the poor of New York's East Side
meet the increased cost of living is
told in the twenty-eighth annual report
of the Charity Organization Society
which has just been issued.
"The general way of meeting the
higher cost of supplies" said the re
port, has been a serious reduction in
The amount and quality of food. The
people have subsisted on meat once or
twice week, fresh vegetables have
been entirely cut out, while milk and
butter have been reduced to their low
est terms.
"This is not all. There has been a
tendency toward the irreducible mini
mum of bread and Tea and coffee.
"The effects of this have begun to
be apparent even in the adults, and
under-nourishment has been noticed
as never before in the children on the

ing to the society. What the high
prices have meant to the poor is cpl
tOmized in the Incorporating com
ment of a self-supporting widow with
little children, relative OF a family
who have applied for help, who said
that since condensed milk had gone up
2 cents a can She could only allow one
teaspoonful for each cup Of coffee in
stead of two, to which they had pre-
viously been accustomed"

A Saving to The CITY.

In other words, it will be richer
city forthwith by the amount of fire
risk it can cut down; and the gain in
wealth will be of a nature that can
be measured in dollars and cents. But
it must be earned. The improvements
in fire protection provided for by the
bond issue must be advanced as ra-
pidly as possible. There must be no
delay permitted except the delays that
are bound to occur whether they are
permitted or not, and they will be
numerous enough; for every days de-
lay means money taken out of tn
community. We have had a taste Of
the results of the improvement of the
downtown streets and other elements
of the risk, in the lowering of rates al
ready granted. 1t will be money in
every merchants pocket when we
reach the date of the next reduction.

Delay is Loss.
Hence it is of the utmost import
ance to the interests of the city, and
especially to the merchant, that no
needless delays in the execution of
this work be tolerated, and that no ex-
tensions of time to dilatory contrac-
tors be granted by the Board of Pub
lie Works unless it can be shown tina
circumstances beyond their power {
control caused the work to be retard-
ed. The bond work for fire protec-
ton must be pushed forward with all
possible speed
Under the rules of the Board of Fire
Underwriters of the Pacific, the key
rate on the brick mercantile building
consists of the sum of the basis rate
and charge for city deficiencies. The
basis rate is Is cents; it is constant.
The charge for city deficiencies de-
ponds on the elements of the city risk,
such as water supply, mains, dydrants,
Fire Department equipment and eff
cheney, fire alarm system, condition of
streets, building ordinances and their
enforcement, confagration hazard, and
various other factors that enter into
the chances of fire and the means Of
protection from fire.
Other charges against buildings,
which, when added to the key rate,
make the building rate, are for such
items as frame partitions, wooden
ceilings, wooden elevatorshafts, I'M
protected openings, electric lighting,
etc, and these are always percentages
of the key rate; so that any reduction
in the key rate means a sliding reduc-
ton through the whole building rate.
Contents Rate is Constant.
The reason why the merchant does
not get the whole benefit of the 8 per
cent key rate reduction is that his
rate is partly a per centage of the
building rate and partly a constant
factor in the shape of a contents rate
which is a fiat rate, definitely deter.
mined according to the nature of his
line of goods and not subject Ia
che nge.
The merchant paws so per cent Of
fire building rate, which goes up on
down with the key rata which in
tarn goes up or dawn with the charges
for city deficiencies; and on that pro
portion OF. what he pays, he shares
the reduction; but his contents rate
is fixed, so that the reduction does no
affect his whole rate, and hence he
does not get the whole building re
duction, and never can.
If, however, the building rate Il
again reduced by further reduction
in the city deficiency charges, or il
the charges against the individual
building itself, the merchant agaiI
gets his proportionate part of this re
duction on the so per cent of the fina
building rate, which he has to pay

Laura Harris. This occurred at Twenty

a number 10 colored men and women, said
something about the affair when he got
into trouble with Smith. He walked out TO

Berliners by no means monopolize it, but patrons and enthusiasts from all the cities of northern Germany flock about it's standard like crowds of holiday seekers in the Paris or London season.
 Away with the proverbial waiter, Girls and young brought up from Munich and other Bavarian cities especially for the occasion Dressed in the Bavarian peasant costume con sisting of short bodice full skirts flowing from padded hHs, small, gay colored caps poked coquettishy side the head and a white blouse with very loose sleeves, they give add ed touch to the gay and hilarious scenes of this famous celebration. Three four Tyrolean or Bavarian peasant bands afford the music, pleas ing at first, but becoming a pandemonium of sounds the evenings supply of new beer" becomes diminished. In fact, the bands one of the chief attractions and without them the fest would be of little amusement. Some have only zithers, while others have the full list of brass instruments, but each has at least phe- nomenally stout with equally phenome- nal capacity for the beer whose duty it Is to harass the bass drum with more physical than musical strength.
 Such efforts are the signal for uproarious shouts and jibes. In all there is the best of good nature and fellowship. nothing in the least ob- scene is ever suggested or tolerated.
