A careful study of the maps and blue of the Board of Fytimate and Appor- tlonment, together with the tvpewrit- ten reports and specifications, Indicates rome startling possibilities, and Mr. Best's estimated cost of $6,100,000 will probably be doubled. If the blue prints indicate anything they show that Mr. Best's plan, whiclt, ay far as {t has been made public up to date, ends @bruptly at Worth Street on private’ property, fs that he Intends to ultimately ex- tend the four tracks from Worth street through Leonard, White and Walker property. Gi Mr. Best's plan contemplates the ac- quisition by the city of the four blocks bounded by Tryon row, Park Row and Duane street, and the small block bounded by Park Row on the west, the property of the New York and Brook- Hee Bridge on the south, and North William street on the east, and “also certain parcels of land on the south jside Of Duane atreet between Cit HM place and Park street, and in Centre atic Plan Involved. street between Pearl and Worth atreeta."

A PIANO; As a As a_ Savings Bank The T__ ‘The old idea ¢ idea that buyir buying a piano was ex- travagance has long since beén exploded. The day when none but the well-to-do ownes and enjoy ed a piano has passed. by. | | Today there are thousands of homes that have bought pianos on the WANAMAKER Easy Payment Plan, and now haye them fully paid for, that would never have taken the trouble to save several hundred dollars to ‘inake a cash purchase. They would have thought it out of the question. But when there is only eight, or ten dollars a month to pay, they find it the easiest thing in the world to do And every home reajizes that the piano is paying its way splendidly, ‘by the delightful entertainment it gives;-by the refining influence it has on the home; by the musical education which it provides for the children. Then the purchase stimulates you to save money, in a systematic way, even better than a savings bank. And the instrument has an intrinsic value that you can realize upon at any time. Nowhere else is there such a fine showing of Pianos to choose from a8 you'll find at WaNAMAKER’s. “The bast p anos in the world are here—the CHICKER- ING, and the \OSE—each in a large variety of new and beautiful models. are here—the Kurtzmann and the Merrill. The best ‘pianos ever made to self for less than two hundred dollars are here--the J. C. Campbell ($190) and the F'réderick Doll ($185)—pianos that aro inexpensive, yet having qualities of such satisfying excellence as have here- tofore been unknown to instruments that could be bought for anything like their price. By the WANAMAKER Plan We Practically Loan You the Money to Buy the Piano Then you pay only the regular cash price for the piano, and the money costs you only 4 per cent. per annum; or about $6 to $1U for the whole time—depending on what piano you buy, and the time you take to pay for it. We give you choice from the best pianos that are made. We secure for you the lowest prices for which good pianos can be sold. We offer you the easiest possible terms, in paying. That's why so many thousands of homes possess our pianostoday. That's why there is no good reason why you need de- fer making the purchase that would add so much to the betterment of your home. Come in and talk the matter over, and see the fine new instruments that have recently come on our piano floor. Piano Store, Fifth floor, JOHN WANAMAKER. Tormerly A. T.
