-—— A DIFFERENT TUNE. DISTINCT change of heart is noticeable in Mayor Mitchel and members of his administration toward the new court We are no longer impatiently assured that having discussed the Project for two years the city stands committed to a lavish scheme of which it neither knows nor needs to know theultimate cost. The com- "©" ntttee appointed Inst week to study the court house plans now reports “t te the Board of Estimate: ‘There has been extravagance of planning. The rooms @re more Inrurious than necessary. "Tt might be called prodigatity,” agrees the Mayor. While Mr. MeAneny, who awhile ago cheerfully guessed at $17,000,000 as the prebable cost, now says that every possible means must be sought to * pat expenses and bring the bill down to $10,000,000. ‘It may be the Mayor feels that plans for such unstinted outlay at ® ecment when the city is notoriously hard up hardly strengthen the credit of the administration. Republican legislators arrive from Al- bany next month to probe the city’s finances. These investigators ‘are not likely to overlook carte blanche orders for court houses. Whatever the reason for the change, it is greatly to the city’s SAvantage that the Board of Estimate. means rigorously to prune vee ete REPeTt sees Bane saese To say the city should wholly abendon, at considerable loss, a ‘matured project for s court house which it needs and should have, is But it is quite another to maintain that at the present moment, @hen the city cuts down its services to ite citizens on the plea of ftetrenchment, it should act as any private corporation would act in insisting upon prudence, economy and careful calculation of cost in a _ building venture that involves millions. a ood THE FOURTH.

Don't recklessly spend your hus- band's hard earned dollara just be- cause he has made it possible for you to live without labor. Be able to stand by your convictions when you are sure you are right, even though you lose your job. Don't think you can have such a monopoly over a thing that you can charge any price for it.
