While the founda- tion of the new structure, which is to be practically uniqile, has been only just begun, the plans contemplated by the War Department and by Congress in- clude the construction of an entirely new set of buildings on the arsenal grounds, The ceremonies Incident to the laying of tae corner stone were impressive. The Invocation was pronounced by Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee, of Washington, the assemblage standing uncovered during prayer, After music by the band Presi- dent Roosevelt was introduced by Gen. G. T.

PERMITS IT TO GO TO WASTE. Once more has the Merchants’ Aesocla- tion taken up the fight for the public against the inadequate service of the Manh:‘‘*n “L" roads. ‘This time it dis- proves .ne statement made by the “L" oMctals that there Is not electric power enough to properly heat the cars, Experts employed by the Merchants’ Association discovered that the whole system of heating the Sixth avenue branch is regulated by signs put out- pide the switch tower at the Fifty-third street curve. i As the train whirls around the con- ductor sees a black sign telling him how. many heaters to use in each car. Dury ing the cold snap this week only one heater was used in a car, although there are sixteen heaters in each one, That no judgment ts shown in this arrangement was demonstrated one day recently when the mercury was at 60 degrees and the sign called for three heaters in each car. The passengers sweltered. ‘The experts also found that lights on various stations are kept burning any- where from 9 o'clock A. M. till noon, when they are not needed, and that the power thus wasted would be more than suMctent to heat all the trains. This 1s what one electrical engineer reported to Willlam F. King, President of the Merchants’ Association: “In the Fifty-third street tower sits the autocrat of the car heating for the Sixth avenue lines, You will find him sitting beside a good warm fire. “He has a number of little blackboards that he hangs out of the window each morning, and on these boards are given the number of electric heaters that the conductor $s authorized to turn on for each car, This morning, for instance, the bulletin called for one heater. There are sixteen heaters In each car. So the company allows us one heater out of sixteen in each car. “The company told the Merchants’ As- sociation that It could not properly heat the cars for want of power until some new machinery is Installed. Now, here 1s where It fs decelving the public, gnd it can be proven that it 1s only pursuing a policy of criminal economy. “A gentieman who Is interested in this matter made some records as he came down town this morning which will dis- prove the claim of the company that it is short of power. He got on a Sixth avenue electric train at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street at 8 o'clock, and the following {s his record of a shameful waste of power, while the car in which he rode showed a temperature of 84: “At every station between One Hun- dred and Twenty-fifth street and Park place there were lamps burning in the waiting rooms and on the upper plat- forms as late as 9 o'clock in the morn- ing. At the Seventy-second and Bleecker street stations all the lamps were burn- ing along the whole platform and down to the sidewalks, At Fifty-third street and Eighth avenue the lamps were burn | ing on the platforms and down the side- walk exits. “At Park place there was a general dlumination of every lamp used at night, with the morning sun shining against the globes. twenty-elght trains passed going up town, twenty-three of them had every lamp burning three hours after daylight. Bvery ‘empty’ train golng north had all lamps burning. “This 1s a condition of things which shows that the employees of the road do not consider it worth while to save the power in any manner whatever.” NAVY SURRENDERS TO THE CORDNER, Admiral Barker Acknowledges the Authority of Brooklyn Of- ficial Over Explosion Victims.

We had to jab him a few times to keep up the good work, but 1 Suppose his being new at the task of re- moving snow entitles him to some in- dulgence."’ According to Mr. Bouton, 1,500 carts and 3,00 men worked all day yester- day and last night In Manhattan re- moving the snow, while over in Brook- lyn 1,800 men and 750 carts kept up the work, and in the Bronx there were 800 men and 600 carts at work all day and night. “Last year, under the old contract system," continued Mr. Bouton, “we were obliged to use a large number of the department men and our carts to help the contractor remove the snow, and as a mapter of fact the city will never know how much it actually cost to remove the snow under those old conditions, because we would put a cart removing a few loads of snow and then send it off removing ashes and Lt ree ea certain that the city ou @ cost of removing ih past years thousands of dotare in gkeess of What It comts under the pres: ent. system E terms of his contract M Bradley 1s required to remove the aneg without help from this department.

It has been a difficult task to remove this frozen sub-surface, especially in the atreets that are asphalted, as we cannot use a pick in those streets without puncturing the aspha oh snow fall, which was not by severe cold weather lastin several days as in the present case, an: to remove that fall took us about twelve days.
