Building Heights in Cuba.

From Bu1Id1ng Age.
One of the principal features of the
revised edition of the sanitary ordi-
nances of Cuba which became effective
on the first of the year is that which
prohibits the erection of buildings
higher than one and a half times the
width of the street on which they shall
be built. The construction of high
buildings, unusual for Cuba, has been
contrary to law under the construction
ordinances, and at present Habana has

Local Option.

The News and Courier in an edl-
torial against Statewide prohibition
says: "One OF the strongest argu-
ments in favor of local option in
matter OF this sort is that the CEN
trail government has no moral right
to enact a statute which it is not pre-
pared to enforce. Whenever it does
so it contributes TO the disrespect for
law in general. 1t helps to breed
lawbreakers and hypocrites.
"Lawbreakers and hypocrites are
a very odious class and the breeding
of them should be brought to an end
as far as possible. But it is perhaps
not possible to completely do so by
any of the many legal forms by
which the whiskey business is sought
to be handled. 1t can be said that
prohibitionists make no promise of
absolute success at this point.
But we submit that the law
breakers and hypocrites' that would
be created by Statewide prohibition
ought not to be more odious and
could not be more numerous than
those nourished by our present sys-
:em
Some might think that we are
mistaken in this especially in the
matter of their not being more obi
Gus. 1t is. we know, a point not sus-
ceDtible OF final proof. To some a
lawbreaker and hypocrite' under
Statewide prohibition is more de-
!estable man than he is under local
option. or the dispensary or high
license or under any form OF resula-
ton. Such n man under the diSpen-
