An imperial decree, published in the Moniteur,
publishes, under the guarantee of the City of Paris
and under the authority of the Prefect of the
Seine, a special Caisee charged with the financial
part of the great public works of the city, and
which is to take the title of Caisee des Travaux de
Paris :—The duties of this establishment will be to
settle all indemnities due for expropriations or
damages caused in the execution of the said works ;
to pay all the expenses of them after due verifica-
tion, and on the production of the usual vouchers,
signed and ratified by the Prefect of the Seine.
There shall be paid into this Caisee all the proceeds
arising from the sale of any of the disposable part of
the expropriated ground and from the produce of
the materials of the houses demolished, and any
other funds accruing in the course of the execution
of the works. A special account is to be opened
for every separate operation, and the sums paid or
received shall be duly entered therein. A copy of
these accounts is to be delivered every three months
to the prefect for verification ; and at the comple-
tion of every operation a general account is to be
made out. The Caisse des Travaux de Paris will

have the power of issuing credit-notes to meet the
requirements of the service, but only within the
limit fixed on for each issue by the Municipal
Council, and approved of by Imperial decree. All
the expenses attendant on the Caisse are to be de-
frayed by the city, and the institution will be
managed by a director. His duty will be to superin-
tend the proceediogs of the cashier, to propose the
annual budget' to the prefect, and to deliver at the
end of the year a report on all the operations of
the Caisse. The cashier is held responsible for the
regularity of all the payments and for his accounts
and must furnish a sufficient guarantee depos-
which the usual interest will be allowed.
nomination of the director rests with the Minister
of the Interior, on the recommendation of the
prefect, and that of the cashier, with the prefect
himself. A consultative committee, presided over
by the prefect, and composed of the governor of
the Bank, the director-general of the Sinking
Fund, the director of the general movement of the
funds at the Ministry of Finance, and three
members of the Municipal Council, will ,be called
on for its opinion on the different financial
operations of the Caisse, and to examine
the accounts presented every year by the director.'
The Minister of the Interior is charged with the
duty of seeing the decree properly carried out.
