AUTY IN BRIDGE,
ART BOARD'S PLEA
State Commission Asks Gov
e'rnor to Havo Competent
Architect Head Builders '
POINTS TO PAST ERRORS
An apptul for consideration ot urt
..well as utility in construction of
. proposed Phila.lelphia-Camdcn
iirld'ls-ninde in a letter scut bv the
Site Art Commission, fiom its head
quarters at 130 South Fifteenth street,
to Governor Sproul.
The commission nsks that au archi
tect bo .nnracd as head 9f the bridge
commission. , A , , . , ,
After trlllnK what should be done
to make the Delaware river bridge au
ornament to tho cities as well as a
useful lmprocement. the commission
points to the, Scbujlltill liver bridges as
horrible examples of what should not
be doue, saying:
"We have in Philadelphia over the
Bcbiivlkill for the Pennsylvnlu Rail
road and the Ttapid Transit Co. tau as
sortment of bridges which, for pure
cheapness, we believe cannot be
equaled Surely there is) nothing any
where more ugly or more unworthy of
i pleasant stream in Ha passage
through i metropolis Though we may
look 'forward to their disappearance at
the demand of a more discriminating
public tHSte, we cannot but regard the
rtort-sighted policy which created
them."
"Inasmuch as this structure is to ex
tend bcyoud the bulkhead line nnd over
waterway, and since state funds arc
to be used m its construction, tnc coin
mission feels thnt this matter will ulti
mately fall, at least partially, within
its 1'nns.cl'ction," says the urt commis-
si"11, . ....
"The question of where,' meaning
locatiou, cau only bo answered after a
complete study of the city plan has
been made. The question of 'what' to
build, meaning size and tho kind of
Etructurc. can really only be nnswrcd
after a determination of the kind 'of
servic which the bridge will havo to
perform. Wo believe that more of the
success of the Delaware river bridge
project depends on tho right answer tn
these quwtions than on tho actual
ttructura' problem, of the how, which
Is to nir iniqd after all but a detail.
"We take the liberty of calling your
jttcnriou to tbeo aspects of the case.
We atk you to consider seriously the t
advisability of appointing as the head !
of the commission on design a man
ho. by his training, is competent to
ttudy the 'where' and 'what,' rather
than one eminently fitted as regards the
'tow.' "
SEES END OF RADICALISM I
Will Die When People Awake, Sayo
Social Psychologict I
Bolshevistic sentiment in tho United '
States will dio a natural death when J
the individual citizen takes an active ,
interest in national politics.
This was the thought of Director I
Herbert Melville, publicist and social I
psychologist, expressed at a meeting
in Clayton Hall under the auspices ot
the Friendship Liberal League last
night.
"If the American citizen lnd made
his patriotism of mere acquiescence n
more intelligent, concrete and effective
initiative, he would be better prepared
to meet the present' national emer
gency " he said.
NEW COMMUNITY CENTER

mulgation of educational, spiritual and
healthful recreations has been opened
