The Evening Che & Pvrtiened by the Press Publishing Compa: Batered at the Post-Oftice at New York as Second-Class Matt VOLUME 47. NO. 16,734. A GREAT BUILDING. »NOTHER important Evening World ‘as steadfastly ad- vocated is in the hands of the Gov- emnor. That is the bill to provide for a great municipal building at the New York end of the old Brooklyn Bridge. The fact that this bill was introduced by Senator McCarren Is all the'more reason for its becom- ing a law, because when Senator “McCarren introduces a good bill it js so unusual that there is all the more reason to give it permanent form in the statute books. This bill offers the easiest and speediest solution to the tiew court- house question and the mun ipal- building problem. Making its pur- pose a fact would relieve the city from a huge rent-roll of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. It will enable the concentration of the nd bureaus and increase. their efficiency and effect the reduction of their expenditures This should be the greatest build- in the world. The land the j acquired by con- demning the triangle between Cen- tre street and Park Row at the expense of over $8,000,000. Orig- inally the city authorities contem- plated the use of this expensive property only for bridge terminals and subways. The Evening World's suggestion that over the under- ground, surface and elevated tracks there should be built a colossal mu- YZ vicipal building soon found popular b— acceptance. Thursday was a great day for The Evening World in the further- {ng of other measures it advocates besides the passage of the Municipal Building bill. The contracts for the subway loop were let. The Rapid Transit Commission directed the drawing of the contracts and arranged for receiving the bids for the municipal interborough subway, which would carry passengers from the Bronx to Coney Island for one fare. Both of these public improve- ments—the subway Joop and the inter- borough subway— add to the advan- tages of this site for the municipal build- ing and court-house by making it the most accessible to all sections of Greater New York. Here should be erected a building typical of this great city, not an onyx structure, with mo- Saics and showy marbles like the Hall of Records; not an architectural nightmare like the old Tweed Court-House or the Federal Post-Oftice, but a great building, as simple and beautiful as the old City Hall, but carried up to the sky in lines of simplicity and strength, symbotical of the true sentiments and aspirations of the people of New York. ny, No, S3'to 63 Park Row, New Tork Matter, pill which The city departments S| PP=’oseceaes r=) ike RSF =] eel le Letters from the People. — A Car for Nuisances. {Po the Mditor of The Bening World: men were empowered to plan « cam- habit of smoking instead of further in- @ulging & by Rpectal caret’ Well, now, ‘why not have especial cars and put the @mokers in them, and let them throw @ahes on the floort Put th Peanut hogs and garlic eaters in @ame car, and at the end of the line ,Beve men with respirators over their faces go inand open up the car and had onty @ veny lmnited experience in eollege footbel) tactios, I prefer New England trolleys to the bridge crush Previdence, R.
