AN |RONCLAO LAW
FOR PUBLISHERS
An Edict That Publishers of Papers
Are Forced to Observe at Once

Nv late ruling Of the postoiiice
4o,artment at Washington the
newspaper publisher is practically
nrobibited from extending credit
~ his subscribers beyond a short
limit of time; for, if he does, ne
he must pay postage at the rate
Of a cent a copy, which means 81
cent, a wear and no country pup
Usher can do this and survive.
II is therefore dbsolutelBheceSsarB
for every newspaper publisher TO
ask his pay in aduance or to secure
II within one year thereafter, III
order to comply with the postal
regulations. And, unless subscri-
bers pay up promptly, the publish
er must cut them off his list, no
matter how much he may desire to
retain and accommodate them.
Like other country papers nc
Dawn has a share of such subscriD-
ers-people who have requested
us to send them our paper, ana
whom we believe to be absolutely
good people whom we would
GLADLY trust for two, three, four or
five years-but every one OF whom
we ne must cut Of our list within
the next few weeks if they do not
settle at once.
If YOU are in arrears, please call
and adjust same or notify us when
YOU will do so, as we must abide
strictly by the law, or suffer the
consequences. and shall be obliged
to strike your name from our list
unless notified by you not to do so.
OF course, this applies only to
such persons as are in arrears on
subscription, and has no reference
whatever to the great majority OF
our subscribers, but we trust all to
whom it does apply will act as
promptly as possible and thereby
greatly oblige us.

Lovers Of Nature Sec Menace to
Beauties in Project for

STOVER DEFENDS MOVE
Saws structure Would Benefit
skaters as Wcll-Olmstcd
Once Protested.

Some of those who have the interests
of Central Park very much at heart think
that they have unearthed new menace
TO its landscape beauties in plan when
Comm iss ioner Slower has rending BEFORE
the Board of Estimate for combination
boatho,ise and skate houee TO cost SlOO.ON0
10 be erected on the site of the present
small boathOuse on the east bay oi the
lake. close to the East Drive
Comm issioner Slower has included
request for such building in II statement
submitted to the Board of Estimate last
January as to requirements for the year
beginning July 1. Thus far no action has
been taken on this particular item. but
it is expected that il will be taken up IN
q couple Of weeks. At that time strong
protest is likely to be made against the
plan al proposed by Mr.. Stover.
One of the arguments to be used against
tho oject will he that no less an author
ity than Frederick Law Olmsted, who
la id out the park reported in strong terms
gainst q similar plan when it was sug-
gested back in 1873. Mr.. Olmsted was
then landscape architect OF the park
and thought that the natural beauties
should be ma inta med
The present small boathouee was the
result Of Mr.. Olmsted's report and was
erected under his supervision. II has
been in use for over twenty five years
and new building of some kind is needed.
MIR. Stovers plan is to combine the facili-
ties OF the boathonse with those now
pro vided for skaters in the portable
building erected in the winter on the beach
ut the south end Of the large lake. In ad
dition Mr.. Slower would have the building
large enough to include a restaurant.
| In giving the reasons for such building
| in his applicati ion to the Board of Est l.
mate the Park missioner says that
the temporary skatehouse and toilet
building erected on the south shore each
winter for skaters present very un-

both summer and winter. and the pre- sent
facilities are wholly inadequate to meet
the necessities of the public, and sub

should result from the letting OF boat

II was said at Mr.. Stover's Office yester
day that only tentative plans for tn,
combination boathouse and atehouss
had been drawn as yet. These provided
