We JOSEPH PULITZER. a ome —-A MUNICIPAL BUILDING. HENEVER Senator Patrick H. McCarren supports a Ww good..bill The Evening World weicomes the oppor- tunity to commend his act. It only regrets that such opportunities do not come more often, because good government would be substantially advanced Should Senator McCarren give his political sagacity, | his powerful influence and his legislative skill-to the| furtherance of good legislation and the defeat-of bad | bills. ’ The bill which calis for these words of encour- agement to Senator McCarren is the Public Build-/| ings bill introduced by him, which proposes to erect | Lora over the land acquired for the Brooklyn Bridge ter- municipal office building and to consolidate under one.roof the warlous departments of the city government which are now scattered. No other big corporation would employ such a policy as New York City ‘has followed in decentralizing its administration and executive manage- ‘ment. _ The city Is afready committed to the acquirement of the blocks at (Chambers street and Park Row. Part of the property has been bought already, and the remainder will be} condemned. The cost of the land will be ‘about $7,000,000, Under- ground connections: will be made | with the bridge loop subway, and | on the street level improved termi- nal facilities will be constructed for . the surface cars. Provision will also be made for the switching of the Brooklyn elevated cars. To put this property to no further use would be a waste of several mill- ions of dollars. At present the city is paying in rentals over half a mill- ion dollars to private landlords for. city departments which could be The Latest Wrinkle in. Married Life. , sa aned ‘ hursday, 1907.
