Resolved, That the plan proposed of providing by legislation or constitutional amendment that the City of New York shall have the power, in connection with any public work, of acquiring sufficient adjoining property to enable it by re-sale of the portion of the property so acquired in excess of that actually essential to the work to recoup the expense or cost of the improvement be and the same is hereby approved, and the officers of the city government and all members of the Legislature are hereby urgently requested to forward the same by all means in their power.
PERSONAL MENTION
New York.—Mr. J. F. W. Bunsen has entered the employ of Muralt & Co., engineers and contractors, New York, and will take charge of their Southern office in Charleston, S. C.
Mr. Bunsen, who is a nephew of the late Prof. Bunsen, the inventor of the burner which bears his name, has had many years’ experience in designing and erecting important engineering works. At the time of the Galveston flood Mr. Bunsen was engaged as the mechanical superintendent of the American Cotton Co., Southern District. He was delegated by the City of Galveston to prepare the designs and plans for a system of breakwaters, and although his plans were not immediately utilized on account of lack of funds, the present admirable breakwater system has been built practically in accordance with his original ideas and plans. His experience also includes the design and erection of various breweries, sugar refineries, spinning mills and electric light and power plants, including oil refineries for the S tandard Oil Co. in Mexico and South America, cotton mills for the American Cotton Co., and various sugar plants in Cuba, Mexico and South America.
Mr. Bunsen will have charge of Muralt
& Co.’s various projects in the Southern States and especially the large power plant which that company is now building for the United States Government at the Charlestown Navy Yard.
Boston, Mass.—Messrs. Wheelwright & Haven, architects, have removed their offices from the Colonial Building to 220 Devonshire street.
Knoxville, Tenn.—Mr. George E. Matthews of the firm of Matthews & Brome, architects, has decided to leave the city and has accepted an offer with Frank M. Andrews & Co., of Cincinnati and New York.
Walla Walla, Wash.—On March 27 George W. Babcock, former Mayor of Walla Walla, a California pioneer of ’49 and prominent citizen of Walla Walla since 1885, died at his home. Mr. Babcock was born in Providence, R. I., November 22, 1832, but most of his boyhood was passed in New York State. In 1849 he became stricken with the Western fever and came across the plains with the first rush of gold seekers, the trip taking six months and nineteen days. Arriving in the Golden State he engaged in mining for ten years at the camp of Hangtown. From there he went to San Francisco, where he made a success as architect and builder. In 1885 he came to the Northwest, locating in Spokane for six months, and then coming to Walla Walla for the purpose of locating the Washington State penitentiary, for the buildings of which he furnished the plans. He superintended the construction of the different buildings.
Baltimore, Md.—Upon the complaint of Francis E. Tormey an order has been signed by Judge Stockbridge, in Circuit Court No. 2, requiring Alfred Cookman Leach to show cause why a receiver should
not be appointed for the business of architects conducted by Mr. Tormey and Mr. Leach at 323 North Charles street. The bill of complaint, filed by Heuisler & Sauerwein, attorneys, states that the partnership was formed March 14, 1904, and alleges that irreconcilable differences have arisen between the partners. By advertisements in the Sun notice is given of the dissolution of the partnership of Francis E. Tormey and Alfred Cookman Leach, under the firm name of Tormey & Leach, architects. The notice is signed by Mr. Tormey.
Spokane, Wash.—Mr. F. H. Russell, formerly of the reclamation service in Nevada, has formed a partnership with R. E. Vincent in the Mohawk block, and the new firm will engage in drafting, in hydraulic, civil and structural engineering work.
Newport, R. I.—Dudley Newton died here March 29, aged 62. He designed several of the famous villas of Newport, including those of Mrs. William G. Weld of Boston; “Wakehurst,” James J. Van Alen’s place, known the world over; “Crossways,” the summer place of Mr. and Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, and other summer residences.
Newburgh, N. Y.—Frank A. Scott, architect and builder, sustained a stroke of paralysis, March 29, while at his office on the northwest corner of First and Front streets.

Tenterden Steeple and the Goodwin Sands.—Not many months ago, during a
somewhat heated discussion in the smokeroom of a West End club, the following old saw was given as a perfect example of false logic: “Tenterden steeple was the cause of the Goodwin Sands.” But I contended that on the contrary this was an example both of good logic and the persistency and value of oral tradition. My intervention in the discussion was laughed at by a room full of university men, many of whom were well-known authors; and I stood there for some ten minutes quite alone contending
