TWENTY MILLIONS FOR THE NEW PARKS.
The demands made by the owners of the
property about Pelham Bay which Is to be
taken by the city for one of the SIX new parks
are far from reaSsuring. New Ork needs new
parks and ought to obtain them as soon as 1t
can afford the expense But it is by no means
certain that the present is favorable time TO
bnv. The city is so heavily in debt, and is
assuming such a harden of obligations Tor its
new adueduct and for other improvements, that
another load even of eight OF ten millions Will
be extremely unwolcome to taxpayers. Nobody
can blame them if they grumble.
And it is quite certain that the cost OF these
new parks cannot be limited to eight or ten
millions. The promoters of the scheme named
eight millions as the utmost that would be
required for the whole six parks. A year has
been spent by the com missloners appointed to
appraise the value of the land, but they have
not finished with the first park, that OF Pelham
Bay, and over five millions are asked for 1t
alone The owners of the property have evil
IDENTITY concluded that this Is their chance to
n AXE money, and they are gong III Tor 1t. Inc
lands yet to be considered include the most eX-
pensiye of all, and the counsel TO the corpora
ton fixes the startling sum of S2OOOO,OOo as
the least that the city will be taxed Tor as the
cost prIce of the land And this does not ln-
clude tbe cos. of transforming wild and marshy
districts INTO hcathful and beautiful places of
resort.
Before the project goes any further, the ACT
under which the commissioners are operating
should be so amended as to give the Park
Department the control of the roads and high
WAYS which will cut through the new parks.
An arrangement which makes 1t responsible Tor
their condition, but allows railroads and wagon
roads to be under the jurisdiction OF private
corporations and foreign town authorities,
which cannot be compelled to build bridges or
to keep the highways in proper repair Will be
the occasion of constant trouble and veXat0n.
If the city must pay out all this money let lis at
least get its value in return and let the new
parks be a credit to the metropolis. But 1t
would be still better if the whole scheme could
be temporarily abandoned. These are times
for retrenchmcnt, uot for additional burdens.

The French protest to the Porte against the eA-
action by Rumelia of additional duties after
customs tax to Turkey has been paid on French
goods appears reasonable The practice COM
plained of is believed to have originated among
the wild tribes of Africa, where every petty chief
was accustomed to demand blackInail on commerce
in transit until by the time the centre OF the coun
try was reached the prices of goods had become
prohibitive. Among more civilized countries Mex
leo is the only one that ever seriously attempted to
establish this policy. and its results upon business
there have not been such rs to warrant contlnu-
ance of the experiment But it Is not surprising
that Turkey should have tired the peculiar me hod
for she really does not I'm the least about en-
couragng commerce. aud her Pachas still regard all
plunder as legitimate.
