TWO SPECIMEN PARK BRIDGES.

with an aesthetically ugly bridge can
not be expected to avoid imperfections
in the practical side of the bridges de-
sign.
The great Importance thus of the
bridge, both in the practical ana
aesthetic life of the city, demands that
it's design and construction receive the
utmost care and attention. No single
part of the plan of Il city, With the eX-
ception of the civic center, is Of great
err Importance than its bridges. The
civic center may be likened to the
main hallway of a building and the
bridges to the portals. Often the first
impression of a city and frequently the
most lasting one Is gained from a

it should be treated with the dignity
it deserves and be made a feature of
the rity's plan rather than Il mere en-
croacllmcnt of Il Ut .!itarian nature.
a bridge should he considered aeS-
theticaiIy from three principal points
of view: The bridge itself, the bridge
in its relation to its approaches, and
the whole effect of the bridge and its
approaches in relation to its environ
mrnt.
In it's design it should be regarded
as an integral part Of the city's plan.
and it should be located in reference
70 the whole plan of the city i'll such n
way as to produce the most efficient
and pleasing result. \. bridge may for
example serve as Il terminal or focal of
an important avenue or for several
converging avenues, full advantage
thus being taken of its architectural
Importance.
Its location having been determined,
the bridge itself should be of such Il
design as to meet in the nos direct
and practicable manner the conditions
it will be called upon to fulfill, and its
approaches should be of such Il char
acter rs to enhance its value rathel
than. as is often the case. of such
character as to detract if not ruin its
entire effect.
In order to achieve the proper result
it is necessary for the bridge engineer
to cooperate with the architect in tho
design of the bridge and its approache:
and With the city planner or civic
architect in its relations to the plan OF
the city as Il whole. Unless this j:
done. bridges will continue to be ugly
misplaced and i'll suited to their pur
poses.
In the aesthetic design of 4 bridge
should be remembered that the bridG
is q work OF architectural art and tina
as such it should conform III it's ow
field with the general principles of al
tistic design which have h,en noted q
being the rules of city planning in ger
cral.
The first principle is that of unit!
The bridge with its approaches shoul
produce the impression Of being a sil
gle homogeneous structure.

LonQ Street Names,

A French contemporary has been
amusing itself by making a list Of long
street names. The Partisan record is
the Rue de Germain-
TAuxerrois. which is something Of q
mouthful. but is equaled by a thor
oughfare in Brussels rejoicing in the
name of the Rue de la Montague u
HerDes-Potageres. In the environs of
the Belgian capital there is even more
of a tongue twister. the Ongeschilde-

be rendered us the street of the little
unpicked silver nut.

of Riches.

More men have been ruined by
af1luence and its consequent tempta-
lions than have ever been wrecked
on the rock Of poverty. To the
rich man duty often loses its i'm
perative voice, and he hampers with
its claims and neglects its fulfil
ment, while all the time he is breed
ing greed and sclfishness in his
heart, to the de1ilement of his whole
life. Against all this and much
more the man Of relative poverty is
defended and kept.--Strand Maya

built with little or no sense of aesthetic

beauty or individuality.
The engineers have been wholly con

peHrlnce of the bridge has been utterly
neglected. for the great majority of

is necessary in certain parts. while 9th
err parts too little. This is proved by

of tracks and their unnecessarily high
cost. Thus our engineers can only be
credited with the toughest kind OF
work, which is not to be wondered at
since the mind that would be satisfied

Mike Gibbons is talking as though

William Sulzer's Statement

That was a convincing statement
William Sulzer, once governor of New
York, made before the John Doe in
vestigating committee in New York.
1t will probably raise him much in the
estimation of those who were once his
admirers. His testimony appears to
be a simple statement of fact, un-
tinged by personal malice and unex-
aggerated by sense of his own
wrongs.
Sulzer says that if he had been will
ling to bend to Murphy's will even
at the last moment, that the charges
upon which he was impeached would
have been dropped. He tells a story
of corruption, of open defiance of all
that is clean in politics by the Tam
many chief, that is both revolving and
pathetic; revolving in that it reveals
the utter corruption Of the Tammany
leader; pathetic in that it showed how
strong man was broken.
Murphy was not even satisfied with
the close connection that he had with
Albany, but had the effrontery to sug-
gest that telephone connections be es-
tablished between the executive man
sion and Murphy's suite at Delmohi-
cos. Is it to be wondered that Sulzer
revolted, saying that he didn't want
to be a rubber stamp" governor? q,
America was certain that Sulzer
was deposed not for what he had done,
but for what he refused to do. This
latest revelation will but tend to
strengthen this conviction.
1t is strange that Murphy, astute
politician that he is, did not realize
that bosses can go so far and no fur
ther; that the people can become
aroused; that some things will not be
tolerated. Glutted by power long
abused, he pulled down Sulzer's tenn
pie like Samson, and like Samson
| lies PROSTATE under the ruins.
Since the world began over-confi-
dence has been the ruin of more men
than any other cause, and in "Bill''
Murphy it has another victim.

Don't Delay Income Tax Data

Internal Revenue Collector McNeel
today makes public some important
information in connection with the
new income tax law. One of the
things emphasized is the fact that re-
sponsibility for turning in income
data is placed entirely on the indi-
vidual and the collector is not required
to send formal notification.
All unmarried persons must pay a
tax on net incomes over $4,000 and
married persons on incomes over
$4,000. The tax becomes delinquent
March 1, after which so per cent ad-
ditional must be paid.
Persons and corporations subject to
this tax will do well to get in touch
with the collector and see that their
returns are properly made. All the
blanks may be secured at
the internal revenue office in the fed
eral building.

ADVERTISING IN l77s

From the Kansas City Times.
THE war office calls upon all persons
who know where flint stone can be Sc
cured to notify Congress"
Was there aught of prophecy in this
brief appeal printed four days after the
signing of Declaration of Independence?
A copy of the Pennsylvania Packet
contains the advertisement. The news
paper bears date OF July 5, 1776, and in
the same column explains that the flints
are to be used for rifles. And without
the old flintlock there would have been
no American independence-at least not
for many more years after the Boston
tea party, if indeed, the colonials un-
armed, could have mustered up courage
to dump the lead lined boxes into the bay.
Further perusal of the old newspaper
shows Jamaica rum and sugar were Of
fered for sale by the hogshead; a reward
of SO was offered for the return of a
horse that had strayed away from the
range, and a woman who had lost two
cows rushed into print with the state
ment that the individual who would lead
the bovines home again would be re-
munerated to the extent of 81.
Sheriff's sales occupy a column and a
half and the Packets publisher takes
space to announce advertisements are
thankfully received" adding that "un-
less subscribers pay their back dues at
10 cents a copy 1t will be impossible
to continue publication after another
month"
