ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Miss Randall. IN charge of the South Ferry Day

little girl with hip disease with the money you
kindly sent TO me, and ! wish the kind donor could
have seen how happy the child was when she was

Mamma IS glad. too. I thank you many times
for your kindness"
Brooklyn mother, a refined American woman
has acknowledged with deep gratitude tho box Of
fine clothing for her little boy The contribution
was the gift Of Mrs Mayer. of Graham Court. The
father of the little boy is too III work and the
mother has a hard struggle.
\ hard-workng woman on the West Side who
received a contribution from the emergency fund
thinks God must have put It into the mind of the
donor to send il TO her. There was no money for
coal. and for meat, that is 4 forbidden luxury
on account Of the high price. Upon the receipt OF
the money, she says. she went right away to get
fuel, and II seemed nice to have a warm room
for her invalid husband. and the tea and meal
tasted good. Il shall make that So last as long
l can" she says. ''and the box Of clothing
sent to is Just lovely pray daily for the dear
Sunshine that helps so much"

COSTLY MISTAKE Made
p. r. X. Embankment at Tunnel
ont of Line.

After spending two and Il half years building
"all" from tho west portal Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad tunnel under the Hudson. it has been dis
covered that the great embankment has not been
following the right line. and that the greatest point
of divergence is lgj north Of the true line The
enbanknent is about twenty feet high. wide enough
for four tracks and built with the stone taken
from the tunnel under Bergen Hill. 1t is said that
unless the course OF the tracks from the exit OF
the tunnel can be changed to meet the embank-
1nent the construction Of the new line will involve
a cost of from $4,000 to S1,O0O0Oo.
That the mistake made by the engineers
rather than by the contractors is indicated by tin
fact that bTidgc over the tracks of the Northern
Railroad of New Jersey and OF the West Shore
Railroad was built on the wrong line The bridge
was a permanent structure over which the trains
were to pass to and from the tunnel Thet bridge
is - feet out of line.

WILL CUT CITY BUDGET.
Mayor to Meet Heads Of Depart
ments for an Economy Talk.

The tentative city budget Of about E45,c'oodo FOR
the year 1905 is to be cut somewhere near 500
90. Mayor Mcclellan yesterday through his exec
utve secretary. William A. Willis. sent the fol
lowing notice heads OF departments:
The Mayor ins,ructs ,Yc, to direct you TO be at
this office at o'clock n the AFTERNOON Of Friday
VVC'oIGr V - - M'In IN cte IN dr.tants m The csti
mates submitted by them to the Board OF Esti-
@ badse % FOR @ Yon are M also reanSsed to Il bring Ing
with YOU such suburd.nates and papers as may in
your Judgment be necessary.
After several weeks Of hard work tho budget
Of 1908 practically fixed NJ r6000o0 this
sum. stated in The Tribune Of yesterday. being
nearly $iSGo0000 greater than the budget for this
year. The Hguros amazed the Mavor and Control
Ter. and at tho last meeto!uG Of the Board Esti-
mate and Apportionmeut IL did seem 10 La
practicable To cut tie items without injuriuc the
City's real interests.
Mayor Mcclellan in communication with tho
leading nnanoiors in Wall Street yesterday It is
understood they counseled him to lop off s. CO0-v
or N,0000G0 from the budget because Of the gem
eral financial striugency and the fact that soon
after January /, 1905 the city viii have to sell
more bonds. Tho Mayor has decided TO tell the
heads OF departments that if they do not reduce
their tentative estimates s." to make tho budget
come to not more than $lSS 100000 the Board Of rs
Innate itself viii apply tho pruning knife.
Controller Metz said that he had suspended III"
registering OF contracts for the present This
means that the city viii not enter upon any now
work unul tho financial storm 's over. we've
got +" havc money to tho city ans it should
oe run, said the Controller but viii not be
Gin any more new work for the present"
The further cut in the budget probably mems
that the Police Department Will have to get aIon.;
with it's present force. and that Commissioner Ben
sci Will not be ablo to Increase The size Of the
street cleaning plant The so-callcd mandatory in
crcase8 this year amount to about $70O00oo and
these will have 10 bo provided for Anything be
yond that Will receive scant consideration from
