70 STTDY CONGESTION.

Mayor Gaynor's appointment Of COM
mission to inquire into the congestion OK
population In this city is the outcome
of the work done by the Committee on
Congestion Of Population and OF Its
striking exhibit of two or three years
ago. The commission, made up 80 large
ly OF aldermen, leaves something TO be
desired In the way of expert knowledge
and freedom from political bias, but its
inquiry can hardly fail to do much TO
promote the intelligent discussion OF this
gravest Of the city's problems. II is time
that New York seriously turned its ~
tention TO the crowding together Of its
people Although containing some Of the
worst congested districts in the world,
1t has really done nothing to prevent con-
gestion from growing worse-for 1t Is
constantly growing worse-or to prevent
the repetition Of congested conditions In
the newer and only partly developed
sections.
Perhaps 1t will be found that the
older areas are beyond redemption, but
it will be grave reflection upon the
intelligence and spirit of the city II rural
Bronx, Queens and Richmond are per-
mitted to reproduce conditions as they
exist in the crowded parts of Manhat-
tan The problem is complicated. 1t in
wolves the distribution Of population and
industries. 1t involves transit facilities
both for the people and for freight. The
question OF proper regulation of build
ings enters into 1t.
Nor is the simplest answer TO the
various questions to be accepted without
grave consideration. For example, those
who are familiar with living conditions
on the East Side hold that the tenement
house law, beneficial as it has been in
most respects. has been an important
factor In increasing congestion. The re-
striction in regard to the area Of lot
to be built upon. they say, has increased
rents. and increased rents have forced
an increase in the number Of dodgers ac-
commodated. But if the consequences of
social legislation are not always what are
expected, if what is intended as COM
plete barrier often turns out only to
have produced q slight change in the
line of least resistance, and If. conse-
quently, the problem is difficult, there is
the greater reason why it should be thor
oughly and deeply studied.

LAUNCHING THE FLORIDA.

The Brooklyn navy yard yesterday
was the scene Of magnificent feat ID
engineering. Few persons realize how
much precise calculation and what elab-
crate precautions are required TO insure
success in putting a big ship afoat- For
the gradually growing burden resting on
the ways. from the laying Of her keel to
the hour In which she takes the water,
adequate provision must be made, but
without any waste of labor or material.
The cradle in which she repOses should
start the instant the last visible tie is
severed. and when she once begins to
move toward the element in which her
life is TO be spent she should glide con-
tinuOuSly until entirely clear of the land
Finally when water borne she should
remain upright. Yet an extraordinary
variety of causes is likely to interfere
with the satisfactory execution of the
task Failure may occur at any one of
several stages which ought TO be passed
in the interval of single minute, and
the risk OF mischance is largely in pro
portion to the weight Of the vessel. The
perfection of Yesterdays achievement
therefore must be judged in the light
of the fact that never before has sc
heavy hull been launched from an
American shipyard.
Yet the latest triumph of the Brook
lyn navy yard might have been conf
IDENTITY predicted. The credit of 1t is
mainly due TO Constructor Baxter. the
builder of the Connecticut; but as the
Florida, even in her present incomplete
state is very much larger and heavier
than was the flagship of the Atlantic
feet when launched nearly six years
ago. Mr.. Bakers latest performance
called for the exercise of skill which
has been without a precedent in his ex-
perience. The country is to be congrat
uIated on the handsome manner in
which he has met his responsibility.
In the rapid progress made with the
construction of the Florida there is oc
caSiOn for additional satisfaction. Some
Of the mechanics who would otherwise
have been employed on the new Dread

ships at the Brooklyn navy yard last
year Besides. the hours Of labor at gov
eminent yards are shorter than those
during which private contractors KEEP
their men occupied. Yet in spite OF
/ these disadvantages il was possible t.

after her keel was laid. The correspond
