Long Delayed Improvement Approaching
COMPLETION.

Eln-st is at last to be improved and made a
thoroughfare instead of mixture of pitfalls
and chaos. The work of grading is to be begun
at once, shortly to be followed by that of paw

true one year from now will see an eight year

Jacob A. Cantor, president of Manhattan Bor-
ough, said yesterday to a Tribune reporter:
The Em-st. crusade is at last successful. On
Monday contractors will begin the work of
regulating the grading. Later the Degnon-Mc
Lean Contracting Company will do the work of
putting concrete and paving. BY spring the
street will be a thoroughfare When We came
into office we found things in a muss. We kept
at the sub-contractors of the rapid transit COM
pauy, and served notice on them to clear the
street of debris and girders. 1t Is now In a
condition to be worked upon for Improvement.
While the street has not been public expense,
1t has been private nuisance. 1t has WORKED

HEAVY INTEREST PAYMENTS.

1t is estimated that between $13N0oO0oO and
Sl5G0S0,000 will be paid out in interest and dvi-
dends in this city in the first weeks Of January
These payments. IL is believed will exceed those
of any previous year. They will be larger than
those of last July. The amount would be still
larger If the government had not anticipated a
large part OF the January interest payments sew
eral months ago in order TO relieve the money
Stringency in this market at that time. So
as the amount can be computed the interest pay
ments will foot up $73,566593 and the dividend pay
