THE CITY'S DEBT LIMIT.
CONTROLLER CIRCUIT PREPARING A
STATEMENT GIVING THE F1NAN-
CIAL CONDITION IN DETAIL.

Controller Grout has large force of clerks busy
on balance sheet. which he expects to have ready
for the nexs meeting of the Board of Estimate ana
Apportionmen 1t will set forth in detail the city
financial condition. and show clearly just what the
debt mourning capacity is.
Mr.. Grout sent to the various borough presl-
dents yesterday letters asking them TO furnlsH
him at once with complete information as to the
contracts for improvements in their boroughs
which were authorized by the old Board of Public
improvements but for which contracts had not yet
been awarded. This information is required for
the purpose of the statement referred TO-
Mr.. Grout said yesterday that all such contracts
when let by the borough presidents simply had to
be registered in his office and required no certln-
cation by him that there funds for their carry
ing out as the money to meet them comes from the
street opening fund. which is made up by the
issue Of revenue bonds when the assessments pdiu
in are not sufficient to meet the new contracts
1t is estimated that such improvements author
lied including and highway Improvements
will amount to about s2.OOO,OOO. These can be
pushed ahead by the borough presidents as soon
as they get ready to do so. The principal one is
that for the regulating and grading of the Grahd
Boulevard and Concourse. which will cost more
than 100000. This contract was enjoined through
Mr. Grouts efforts just at the close OF tle 5h 5se az
ministration, but under the new charter, Boroush
M rou staemen n to the Board Of Estimate

Brooklyn tunnel extension. as well as the pro
posed Carnegie library buildings. the sites for
which the city had agreed TO buy. III,
The books of the Finance Department show the
citys margin now to 81 55l 600 This is exclusive
of the sums which added from day TO day TO
the sinking fund which amount annually to about
SIS 900 900 Il also excludes the Sl0GOOeO which the
tunnel extension Brooklyn will cost but includes

ouents to time, and payments that may be made

RATE CUTTING ADMITTED.
STATEMENTS OF RAILROAD MANAGERS
TO THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.

Washington Jan. 29.-Some important admissions
OF rate cutting were made hearing given by tho
Interstate Commerce Commission to-day in con-
tinuance of the investigation began Kansas City
on January g. Vice-Presidents Paul Norton, Of the
Atchison and j. NJ. Johnson. of the Rock Island.
and ] NJ Monroe. traffic manager of the Union
Pacific testified. All admitted that the published
tariff rates on grain moving in and out of Kansas
Citv Mo had not been observed. They explained
the methods by which the lower rates actually
were accorded. and contended that these conces-
sons were necessary. They conceded that there
mental lines but said that the practice was the
transcontinentaI traffic. The most serious cutting
Of rates. they said, prevails between Kansas City
and Chicago The witnesses admitted that at
time when the published rate from Kansas City TO
Chicago was Z cents a hundred pounds there was
practically no grain moved at rate above cents.
and more or less OF this traihc was carried at
cents. ~.
Without admitting that the observance Of the
published tariff by all lines and in all would
operate to the undue prejudice OF Kansas CITY,
roads the only thai run both east and west
from Kansas City. said that IL any arrangements
could be made or any plan devised which WI n would
lished tariffs, changes in the rates would be
freely made The rates they said, ordinarily are
based on the Missouri River. and the through rates
those beyond Kansas City. Under the present ar
rangement the lines west of the Missouri River
accept their proportion of the through rates 70
Chicago and Eastern points cent less than their
local rates into Kansas City. This was explained
TO be what is known as the arbitrary; OF which
Kansas City shippers have compialned. Inc oIl-
arbitrary If the lines east OF Kansas City would
enforce their rates.

WILL ADOPT STANDARD CODE.
THE NORTHWESTERN ROAD WILL CHANGE IT
SIGNAL SYSTEM

Chicago Jan 2e-The management of the North
western road has determined to adopt the standard
code of railway signals for its entire system. The
change will be gradual and will be made so that the
men will become accustomed 10 the new rules in
sections.
The first circular relative TO the matter has just
been issued by General Manager Gardner and Cen
eral Superintendent Ashton, and provides that
and after February green signals will be abo-
ished in SO far as their present use indicates a
special train. and white signals will be substituted
therefor. This is of the more important
changes affecting train operation, and the manage
ment desires that the men shall become accustomed
TO il before other changes made. The code
which is being put in Is known the American
Railway Association code. and of the objects
except indicate danger.
In adopting standard code of signals the Ameri-
can Railway Association had in view, among other
things. making it possible for a railroad man to
work any road nthe country without the
necessity of learning new rules when he changes
his service. Such condition, 1t is recognized
materially would lessen the probability of accident
