XI THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING

Reading edition

ASTRIDE of Chamber Street at Park Row stands the Municipal Building. Under its roof are half a hundred commissions, departments, boards and bureaux that regulate such petty affairs as the highways, parks, water supply, bridges, taxes and fire-fighting for upwards of six millions of people. A gigantic task, and accomplished in a building well worthy of its responsibility.
