EASING LITIGATION.

Every move that is made to Tighten the bur-
den of costly and cumbrous litigation that
clogs our court procedure deserves careful at
tention and imitation where this is feasible. The
justices of the municipal courts of New York
City are perfecting plan whereby they will
sit as mediators in matters Of dispute where
the issues are such that they can readily be
settled without the expense of time and money
involved in a court trial. This method of set
Element will differ from arbitration In that the
decision of the magistrate will be regularly en-
tered in the court calendar. The justices be
lieve that this court procedure will be accepted
by large numbers of litigants who are honest
in their belief in the justice of their causes
refusal to accept it in cases involving minor
legal technicalities would naturally point to q
weakness in the case of the party refusing. BY
this means large number Of cases be
quickly and satisfactorily disposed of and the
courts business be expedited

The commission, composed of the
Secretary of the Treasury. the Secre-

with much qualification that it is able

1t will be the policy of the commission
to acquire as much of the land as pos

with the owners. many of whom have
indicated their willingness to dispose
of their land at reasonable prices to in
sure without delay the completion Of
the entire project as planned.
Every effort is being made by the
commission to insure the artistic devel-
opment of the entire parkway scheme
and in this connection the commission
Of fine arts has been freely consulted
Much of the delay in the past in be-
ginning this work appears to have been
the result of a belief that lands could
be purchased here which could later be
resold to the government at a large
speculative profit, but this feeling seems
to have given way to a genuine desire
