On the upper east side s the new small parks would give a certain number of spectators a chance to see something if there were any- ‘ thing to see. But in the lower part of the city, where the swarming masses live, where most of the official ceremonies are held, and where the movement of the . shipping furnishes a glorious marine pageant every day, ‘ the water front is so monopolized by commercial uses that the public is practically shut off from ‘ts enjoy- ment. The condition of Brooklyn’s shore in this respect is particularly disgraceful. Of course, commerce must come first {n a commer-} ‘clal city, but there is no reason why it should not be combined with public pleasure. There is room for a few more small water-front parks, especially on the Brook- jyn side. It is not likely that Europe would invade us 4f the army should find some other headquarters than Governor's Island and leave that for a public park. .- Oriminals and paupers might cease to monopolize Black- gwell's Island—the most perfect park site of its size in 2. | this or any other Amertcan city. Instead of six recren- tion piers there might be a hundred. Fg not every pler bé@ a recreation pier above its commer- cial levels? Why should not a broad elevated esplanade, i ‘ke the boardwalk at Atlantic City, run along the whole * ‘water front? © Some day we shall realize that it !s not houses but people that make a city, and then we shall see what we By The upper On that Help, dod gast you!

This naturally explains why the bridge is an engineering triumph and an architectural horror. It 1s a pity that a monumental wore public necessity should be a blot, upon the tand- o scape instead of a new attraction. It 1s especially unfor- i tunate, since the Brooklyn Bridge showed that such a structure could be made beautiful and impressive, Now that the mischief has been done in the Williamsburg Bridge, some unfortunate architects are to have the job of mitigating the structural hideousness of the design by sticking on “decorations,” like putting plaster Cupids on {>a sawWnilll. “The only way to decorate those towers Is to ® take them down aud put up new ones, which is a thing | #he tail and @tately anid nas gorneote | the present generation can hardly hope to see.
