UEiPJNG Up THE BURDEN.

II t. pot foo soon TO consider how well abe
\cw.Yorx is and NAV he hereafter to bear the
great financial burden which Humorous schemes
Of public Improvement already in progress or
likely TO he adopted will put upon its back. we
do moi need To say that The Tribune is heartily
in sympathy with the progressive spirit when
would make the metropolis more beaIl'liul cry
and supply il with all the moral and material
roouiremonts of n high civilization. But there
is no doubt that the many enterprises which are
now making a strong claim to public favor con
template an immense aggregate expenditure
and that it is no more than common prudeh'e
70 INQUIRE which of them are of vital Importance
and which are merely interesting ana attractive
The city has already entered upon an cxicn-
slve operation for the Improvement OF me DOCKS
the deslrabty Of which can scarcely he denied
and which If is believed will ultimately prove to
he q profitable investment. Preliminary steps
toward the erection of new East RIVER priuS'
NJ public expense are being taken. The crea-
ton and development Of the parks "o'n "

extension Of Riverside Drive and the construction

to the general pleasure and convenience pu'
they will consume n handsome sum of money.

and exceedingly valuable site when II mas al.

make the grant for scarcely any other WANT i
60 great as that which the library Is expected

soliciting an appropriation of S10Oooooo ior
school sites and buildings If the rapidranslt
plan Is carried out. the city will have to advance
mar. than $40 100000 in the course OF n Few
roars for that purpose 1t now looks as if no
obstacle would be interposed to prevent the
erection of a new Hall Of Records ana cer'a'hi!
the question of expense ought not TO be con-
sidered in that case. Nobody denies that the
municipality could put new building TOT sen.

ton several times is sure TO he revived Delore

This Is by no means an exhaustive list or the
improvements on large scale which are act'l-
oIIv in nrogress or so strongly urged as 10 make
thoir authorization probable. We do not under
rate the merits Of any one Of them but we do
venture to inquire whether the city is WARRANTED
IN undertaking 10 put them all through simulta-
neously. Nobody perhaps can see far into the
future Of Greater New-York under n highly ex-
detrimental charter but it is pretty generally
admitted that consolidation VIII increase the Cost

tho larger part Of the difference. ii Is more 'hh
over time for caution and careful dlscrlihiha-
