CLERGYsfEN AND NEW YORK

The ambition of some clergymer1 is to have charge in New York City, thus basking in the prestige that is supposed to be part of an address in the metropolis and be- ing identified with churches known by name throughout a large part of the country.
 However attractive New York city charges have been in the past. there is reason to believe they have lost their attractiveness 10 many clergymen who. upon being called" to the metropolis. refuse to leave their fields in the smaller cities A week ago one New York clergy man. already iE New York. decided to leave the metropolis for a small Connecticut country town.
 The latest "call" from New York which wasn't accepted was that of the Rev. pr, Robert R. Wicks. pas tor Of the Second Congrega gational church. Holyoke, Mass. Dr. Wicks declined the pastorate of the Madi- son Arenue Presbyterian church. the pulpit of which was made va cant by the resignation ot Dr. Henry s. Co9in. who will head the Union Theological Seminary in the autumn.
 Dr. Wicks gave the reason for his refusal the fact that he is well enough situated in Holyoke, is prominently identified with the civic life of the community. and would not be as happy CT as well satisfied in New York.
 These are good reasons, New York notoriously is regarded as a graveyard" for ministers of the gospel. The only way in which they can attain tithe of the promi- nence and general effectiveness they enjoyed before going there is to become broadcasters in the modern radio Chautauqua.
 II will be recalled that some time  ago the Rev. Dr. Harris F.. Kirk of Baltimore declined the pastorate of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church of New York, saying he could never hope to be the infu- ence for good in New York that he is in Baltimore. Before then the Rev. Dr. Samuel s. Drury Of Con cord, Mass. declined the pastorate Of Trinity Parish, New York, which Is regarded as the greatest single parochial opportunity in the world and no doubt is the worlds richest congregation. And it also Is on rec ord that the Rev. Charles Cling man of Birmingham. Alabama, de- clined the pastorate of St, Thomas church, New York.
 These men knew what they were doing. New York may be great field for ministerial endeavor, but the modern Babylon is so big that scarcely anyone can get his head above the crowd far enough to be noticed. and it is increasingly diff flcult to maintain such position. There is no sound reason why clergyman of position in the hin- terlands need feel the urge to cir culate in an nnappreciative metrop- olis

i STREET WIDENING
 TRAGEDY

New Britain is not the only city facing difficult future over the apparent necessity of widening some of it's streets in order 10 make more room for automobile traffic. The only cities not faced with this modern problem arc those suffl- ciently fortunate to possess wide streets or those widenings in the road which are not bothered with highway congestion.
 There is Detroit, for instance. The fraternal order of Maccabees, which has its headquarters there, recently decided to construct q new central temple, or headqur- ters. for the order, at a cost of s2,- 50o,01o. It was to be a fine build ing. even for Detroit But inc city happens to be widening Woodward avenue. the main stem, and the new building. not yet quite com pleted. was ordered condemned by the City Plan Commission because ii conficted with the new building line, although in conformity with the old line. If the fine new temple were allowed 10 stand, the City Council was told, the city would have to subtract land from in front of the new Art Institute, thus par tially destroying the beauty Of in" building. City legal lights told the Council the Maccabees could not collect q cent because the new lof line was established before the new temple was started.
 Whether new buildings of such great cost can be "condemned" without payment Of damages is q matter for the courts; but the point is that widening streets for the benefit of automobile traffic is going 10 he costly undertaking for cities. more so than street pav- ing or highway construction with in cities. No city needs wider streets for automobiles than Bos- ton, but when one plan called for an expenditure uf s3n. 1000, 00n for a few blocks through the choked business district. tho automobile owning taxpayers took fright; yet other ~rNpensj}c widonings were pushed forward and some have been completed al huge cost. For mpr Mayor Curley had a cheaper plan - mol fo allow automobiles the uss or dUwn1own streets. hut his eronon- cal ideas failed 70 meet Nitn favor al the time, Ultimately something of tha sort will lake place Of irs oNru accord as autoists rail to md room in thr congested urras and are discouraged from using tbtu machines downtown, as already is inc case in New York auI Philadelphia. In all these cities parking space is being developed in tho suburbs, many autoists pre- f.rring t0 continue downtown in thr suhways. which is vastly quicker and less iucouHenirnt.

The admission at the council meeting Wednesday night that only two aldermen attended the month ly meetings Of the finance committee when thousands of dollars are or dered spent, again calls attention of the public to the failure of council members 10 take committee work seriously. Because of the fact that all bills must be passed by the fin ance committee before the council approves them for payment. mem Der ship on the committee is re- garded important, but for many years full meetings have been rarity, and it is said that very ire quently only the chairman and the comptroller are on hand to examine the bills.
 It would seem "o~d move if the practice of having only the mayor and aldermen conn rise the commit tee were discontinued and only those members who show q willing ness 10 attend to the city's business by attending the monthly meetings be allowed 10 serve. No plausible explanation of the custom of having counclmen prohibited from finance committee membership has ever been offered. Where such a great, amount O the city's money is in- xolyed every month. and fhe meet ings Of the committee require scarcely more than an hours time. no sincere council mcn1hs- should claim inability 10 attend.

THE OBSER YER On the City and Its People
 Makes Random Observations

4 situation which has never be- fore existed in the city government
 has been created by the candidacy of each of the first ward councilmen for promotion to the post Of alder man. When C. ]. Dehm resigned as
 alderman to became fire board chairman it was expected the first
 warders would meet, go through q
 political Alphonse and Gaston and 1 then put forth one of their number
 who would be expected 10 be sin, carely grateful for the honor given 1 him by his colleagues" and while Ithe office was "nnsought and un- | bought" he would try his best. etc, Ictc.
 But such was far from the case. When the three councilmen met, ] David l.. Nair announced he would be a candidate. Thure Bengston ad-
 mitted he had a covetous eye on aldermanic row and Clarence H. Maxon made it a threesome. With three nomination and no sccondings entered on the record adjournment
 vas all that remained and that was the extent of the business. The council preferred to have the ward settle it's own family difficulty so no action was taken at the June meet ing this month, and in the meantime ithe councilmen are planning to meet
 again with no prospect Of settle mere in sight.
 The candidates are republicans as was also the man who resigned. The democrats in the common coun- cil do not wish to interfere with the c. O. P. dispute and as such it Nill remain. Talk of a ward primary has been heard and there is also mention of an alderman other than ithe three now beng mentioned. Cn- less q settlement is effected next week the "neishbors'' will be called
 in to re-arrange the seating plan
 of the first district, but regardless
 of what is accomplished there is certain to be at least two disappoint-
 cd office seekers in the vicinity of Arch street.
