T ins is material—raw material—for pride in the city’s bridges. As Commissioner O’Keeffe said at the Budget Show, the forty-five bridges controlled by his department have a value of $15,006,000, or 10 per cent. of the total value of the property owned by the municipality. Bridges have advantages over «tnnels in that they are sightly, are without ventilation difficul- asies, are usable for trucking and, on paper, can accommodate more | etraffic. To quote Mr. O'Keeffe, a structure of the Manhattan Bridge “type “furnishes railroad facilities equal to eight tubes.” This tribute is an indictment turned inside out. The city ridges may represent ten per cent. of its communal property, but their return to the people in service rendered is no such amount. Half of the investment—that in the Queensboro and Manhattan bridges—makes an insignificant return to the community. The Man-| dattan Bridge may have the potential capacity of eight river tunnels, | yet at present thi $26,000,000 institution has about the actual use| of a good footlog. Americans are making bridges for all the world, but they must learn from other peoples how to adjust them to traffic needs and) get the proper return from them. It is discreditable that the Man-| hattan Bridge should be incomplete ten years after it was begun; | that the tendency of the squalid Brooklyn Bridge terminals has been to depreciate neighboring Brooklyn property; that the problem of con- ij) VoLUMI gestion at terminals has been reproduced elsewhere instead of solved 60 little general benefit to offset the special injury inflicted. tion: “A political leader, in the colloquial sense in which “which he is associated.” The definition is true as far as it goes. that “orders” is a synonym for advice, and indicate the sources es new bridges have come, and that tho dislodgment of population by tens of thousands to make way for approaches has brought as yet | ——————++2—___—_ Win BARNES JR., Regent of Albany, emits this defini- the word is used, means a man whose advice is taken quite largely and pretty generally by the men of the political party with ‘Tt should go farther and state that tho advice of a leader of this type ‘fa taken “quite largely” by henchmen of the other party, explain whence the leader drew his advice, with the means to make it ef- fectual.

He will find the shop windows plastered with lithographs of candi- ~i@ates for Alderman and Assemblyman whose lineaments declare ebheir fitness to rule over us and the soundness of the primary proc- Senses which have resulted in their eelection. By and large, their gountenances do our citizenry infinite credit. Ono feels that whether] “the Republican or the Democratic party wins, popular institutions will be safe, and should account themselves happy in attracting the ‘motice of such imposing looking men. Two ‘major types of physiog- smomy are noted—the Grand Young Man and tho Tired Business Man. “From the former one can expect aggressive action, from the latter ; ious counsel. In both are remarked the well-set eye denoting sfrankness, the salient nose intimating an intelligent curiosity in the sses of government, and the jutting chin postulating a civic Zesolution. * It goes without saying that these men, when sent to the Assem- bly, will not stand for “the perfect charter,” for an election law which circumvents independent political action, for government by dong-distance telephone, for a dictating and bargaining but never cajoling boss, and for a flood of “grab” and “ripper” bills. When sent to.the Board of Aldermen these men will not demean themselves o that all power for good or evil remaining to them will be taken way. True, men looking just as firm and candid as they have done ‘these things while discharging the trusts whereof the Tenth or Sec- md Avenue Hyperions would disposses them.
