If, however, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment takes proper action, it seems to me that the provisions of .???ectlon 80 are so broad and peneral as ' to confer all nee -ssary power for mu? nicipal ??peration.

The critli ism of the Sherman law made by Mr. ('?ross.'up was on the broader basis that tho law of the land, in the pro?*?.? ? et evolution of conditions, human and ? <?>? nilc, fell behind th? lim?e, and that at various periods in the history of a nation the law had to be brought up to tit* ig. inands nnd perception? newly established The chief fault of the Sherman u? I ?aid, was that it had been ivrltteu 66 hi that It could not be read from the ground. It was easy enough 10 ask for the repeal of that. law tWorn an audience like the Traffic. Club on that ground, he Said, but, on the other hand, the Sherman a?? ha I been divlscd to root out *uppr"Md??n of comp?tition by unfair niBtbodS. and lor this reason it was easy enough before an nudienca of ?mall business men to have | . law made more drastic Mr, Qrosscup then siftid : i The Sherman a? t needs serious amend i ment in the way ?.f advising buatn? ? advance of court decree, of ? hai li ms lawfully do and what It may not do, | the war of restricting its prohibition punishments to those concret? tran | tlons that actually do Injury, ah '-?.iisidered, to the piibll?.
