EW YORK CITY begine to-day its fight for home rule. { The State Constitutional Convention is asked to con- sider a new article dealing with municipal government which would give to every city in the State the right to manage its own re. ik the article ie adopted, Greater New York will have the power to frame and amend its ewn charter, to own and opcrate water plants, traction Ynes, lighting plants and public markets, to make up its own budget and control ite own taxes, and to fix the salaries and “duties of its own employees. Of recent years mandatory legislation from Albany has saddled the city with some $7,000,000 of extra an- meal expenses for offices which the Legislature creates and salaries {which the Legislature fixes. The new article would do away with the present grading of cities in a first, second or third class and establish a broad general law of self-government for all, Besides freeing the State statute Jbooks of thousands of special laws, it would remove a constant temp- , tation to legislative meddling and extravagance, Up-State citios are likely to favor a plan which gives the City ‘of New York no special favors.

RTY persons arrested and two hundred more summoned to appear in court marked the beginning last Sunday of the Police Department's first serious effort to keep the public parks tidy: aoe nate oR Chief Magistrate McAdoo helped along the good work by im- i fines upon some thirty prisoners charged with throwing pa- boxes, bottles or luncheon scraps on the lawns and paths of a x Park. Director Hornaday of the Bronx Zoo, a leader in the > war against park defacers, sat beside the Magistrate. Fines aver- “aged $2 each, but the Magistrate remarked significantly: “If 1 re- main here these fines will be increased.” Plain clothes men and feven a sprinkling of private detectives helped to catch the litter ‘makers. ne All this is new to New York. Talk about what should be done to rubbish throwers has gone on year after year—and every Monday ; morning in suinmer the parks have looked as if the city emptied ite ‘waste baskets on them. Signs and warnings are wasted on the heedless. ‘Mhere is but one lesson for them.
