Mayor McClellan haa scored again by vetoing the Westchester franchise on grounds so thorough-going and comprehensive as to leave the Aldermen not a hole to craw! through. If they have an atom of com- mon sense they wil) now drop the “politics and friend- ship” which have been put forward by their apolo- gists as the only plausible alternative to a less chari- table explanation of their conduct and proceed to give the poopie of the Bronx what they want. f'The prompt pasenge of the Port Obester franchise with all proper safeguards for the public interests will ‘xtend genuine rapid transit to the Connecticut line within two years. There is no longer any possible ex- yuse for denying this boon to the people beyond the Harlem. : . Meanwhile the Mayor has added another good page fo a very creditable record. ca 4, | .BEAUTY.AND PRACTICALITY. The more the subject of a remodelled city is stud- fed the more fascinating it seems. It appeals alike to the artistic temperement ahd to the practical mind. "For instance, at the Municipal Art Soctety’s #aner on Tuesday evening Mr. Charles R. Lamb exhibited flew street plans in whose preparation eqnal axten- had been patd to beauty and to the conventente of circulation. In a plan of the prevailing checker- ward pattern both of these ends ure sacrificed. No Brrangement fs More inconvenient, for if yqu want to 0. anywhere cff the line of the street you happen to fee ‘on you have to travel on two sides of a right- angled triangle. At the same time every possibile architectural effect is smothered, for as you look along the street you see nothing but two monotonously con- verging bulding lines. If there is a beautiful structure “Dh one side nobody sees it except the few who hap- pen to be just across the way, and even they do not bee it to advantage. Radiating streets distribute the crowds to the best advantage and they can be made to end in a@ vista of @ome imposing building or monument. In a city Ike Patio, where the eye aa it travels along an avenue is always arrested by a triumphal arch or a gorgeous bperi-house or a majestic palace, there is mental ex-| 7 hilaration in a mere walk to business. _ When the Mayor names the City Plan Commis- sion, whose appointment will be one of the crowning diatinctions of his administration, it will have to deal with almost «very subject that affects tho collective of the citizens, from gas mains to statvary. And will find its. way wonderfully,emoothed by the en- thusiastic volunteer efforts of the Municipal Art 5o0- ctety.
