CITY BEAUTIFUL SHORTCOMINGS + Commenting in its issue of June 1 on “The City Beautiful’ Fallacy,” The Evening World asked: “Why | , 1 is the erection sanctioned in the centre of the Sevent second street plaza of a subway station approach arch|- tecturally out of harmony with {ts surroundings and obtruding offensively on a fine street prospect?” As this architectural misfit nears completion its in- Appropriateness is more glaringly revealed.

The ugly viaduct, the Architecturally defective fire house or police station, and the general sacrifice of beauty to utliity or economy in municipal construction, tends to nullity the best ene deavors toward the artistic hettermont of the Dan Emmett and the Passing Minstret.
