Brooklyn, is already in progress The
piers are about two-thirds completed.
Two bridges are contemplated across
Blackwells Island. One is to pass over
the southern end of the island from East
Fffty-ninth street, or Whereabouts. One
million dollars has been appropriated for
this bridge by the municipal assembly.
Another structure known as the Rainey
Bridge is to cross the East River at the
upper end of Blackwells Island. This is
private enterprise for which fran
chise was obtained from the state The
piers are partly built, but the franchise
expires in the coming March.
What is known as the proposed ''Lau-
terbach' Bridge" is planned to cross the
East River from Grand street, New York,
to Hudson avenu. Brooklyn. This is
private enterprise and no actual work
has yet been done on it.
The greatest bridge projectc of all is the
huge suspension bridge that is expected
to span the north river from Fifty-ninth
street, New York, TO the Hoboken shore.
1t has been capitalized for s6O,o0O.OOO.
There is still another North river
bridge in embroye. 1t is designed to ex-
tend from West Twenty-third street to
the Jersey shore.
1t is probable, however, that not all
these bridge projects will materialize.
AS Comptroller Color states, six tunnels
can be built for what two bridges will
cost.
But even if most Of the bridge pro-
contemplation bid fair to supply ali Of

FRANCE WILL NOT ACT UGLY
About the Hay-PauncefOte Nicaragua
Canal Treaty.

New York, Feb IA special to the
Herald from Paris says: "Fromthe most
authentic sources an absolute contradic-
ton of the statements attributing TO the
French government any intention to in
tervene in the matter of the Hay-Paunce-
fote Nicaragua canal treaty has been OBJ
tanned. Not only has no communication
on this subject been exchanged between
Washington and the Quail D'Orsay, but
the French government could in no degree
display hostile feelings to a convention
which, like that of this month, meets the
objects of French policy, which has al
ways favored the neutrality of great nav
igaible waterways and their free opening
TO international transit, which the ar
rangement for the abrogation Of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty in no way preju-
dices. The part of the government is. not
to take any position in the debate OPEN
ed on this subject which would bring into
conflict interests of various kinds. More
over. no question OF this character has
been submitted 10 ii. France, on the con-
trary, keeps within her political role by
maintaining the necessity OF neutraiiZing
the new canal, which cannot depend ex-
clusiveIy upon any single power. This
was recognized by the Anglo-AmeTican
convention at Washington, the terms OF
which reproduce almost ideneically those
of the conference Of 1873 at Constantine
pie, relative TO the international chGrac-
ter Of the SueZ canal. As regards the
Nicaraguan canal. old conventions stiPu-
lated in favor Of France and other powers
certain rights OF presumption, but these
clauses are regarded, Il not as abrogated,
as al any rate having fallen into desae-
tude. In any case. it may be taken for
certain that all statements representing
the French government as having adopted
an attitude different from that set forth

COST OF ENLARGED CITY.
CONTROLLER COLER EXPLAINS THE Ex-
CESS OVER THE EXPENSES OF CON
SOLIDATED TERRITORY.

Controller Coler said yesterday that he thought
the annual running expenses OF the city at the
present time amounted 10 about 81 900 more
than the annual expenses Of the territory included
in the greater city before the consolidation The
expenses for the Ave borOughs in 1897 We're some
thing more than S7S 10000 and the budget for the
city this year amounts more than 500 90, 600
Much of the additional expense OF running the
government for the large territory the Controller
said has been caused directly by consolidation pro-
visions. There has been the substitution OF ex-
pensive, highly developed metropolitan govern
nent for the rural township government in the
outlying boroughs. This has meant the substitu-
ton OF paid fremen FOR volunteer 1remeu, with
for some districts; large increase OF the police
force and the raising OF salaries of policemen in
districts in the equalization OF police sala
ries for the whole city; the increase OF school
teachers and the increase OF their salaries; the
establishment OF branches OF the Department or
partment or street Cleanlng. the department OF
Sewers and the Department OF Bridges IN districts
where they were not needed and the establishment

expense has been in salaries Many places which
