G4YNOR IS ANXIOUS.
asks Nets for Information
on City's BOrrO1cing Capacity.

Mayor-elect Gaynor fears there will be
little left of the available margin Of bor-
rowing capacity of the city by the first OF
the year to redeem his prediction prom
ises. This became apparent yesterday
when he sent letter 70 Controller Metz,
asking a statement upon the municipal
finances His friends pointed out last
night that since November I the Board
of Estimate and AppOrtionment had ap
prOpristed $4,000. 600.
This sum does not cover the arrange
ments made by the Board prior 20 Novem-
ber I. which have not vet reached the
contract stage. One feature OF his letter
is the intimation that il gives that the
Mayor-elect does not wish TO avail himself
Of the new constitutional provision for
the exemption. in estimating the debt
limit, Of bonds issued for the construc-
tion OF subwsys, docks. etc. The letter
follows:
Impelled by very great desire that the
city's financial ability 20 carry on subway
construction shall not be exhausted by the
Board OF EstimaS and AppOrtionment
authorizing bond issues for other pur-
poses. / should be glad II you could give
me within day or so tie following in
formation.
I-Taking the recent decision Of tie
Court Of Appeals in respect of the amount
OF the city debt a. basis. what was the
extent in round numbers OF the City's bOr-
rowing capacity ny the issuing Of cor
pOrate stock within the constitutional 10
per cent limit on November I. 1902
BY what specific items has that
amount been decreased since?
3.-What is the amount Of such borrow
ing capacity now. without regard 10 the
recent constitutional amendment
I should be glad 70 have YOU also pre-
sent this letter to the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment at its next meeting.

WOES OF TOY DOGS
Erhibit Not to Taste of High
Bred CANNES.

There is no use talking. luxury doesn't
always make for happiness. II ANYBODY
wants TO be informed on that point let
him or her go TO the toy dog show at
the Waldorf-Astoria some time to-day
and interview a few OF the four footed aris-
tocrats in the cages there They have

lunching of a bone from an ashcan looks
happier than they did yesterday.
They weren't backward about expressing
their opinions on dog shows. either Those
that weren't wailing in minor were
vttuperating in high c. and the sound
OF their dissatisfaction filed the Astor
gallery, where the show was held and
penetrated so far outside that several
persons In the corridors thought some
woman's club was giving a charity con-
cert. There was one little chap In par
ticuiar-a toy bull terrier about six inches
long in a pink taCket-that kept right
along all day. without a pause something
like this: II want 70 get out oh

The Times wishes its readers a
happy New Year.

The cause of good roads is making
rlvancement in Delaware. New
Castle County is spending a great
deal of money for stone roads. Kent
xad Sussex can have equally good
roads at a comparatively trifiing cost
by tie proper of materials close
1t hand. In some parts of the
country sand-c clay roads are being
made in such a way that they may be
called permanent roads, for they are
smooth and hard and are kept up
with very little expense, and this
sand clay road was discovered in Del
sware by az agent of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
It would be a good thing for the
Farmers Institutes of Delaware to
have some one from the Federal de-
partment to talk on road making,
and to show exactly how sand-clay
roads can be made. And we not only
have sand and clay. but we have
gravel, and other material, enough in
quantity and varied in character, tc
make nearly all of our roads smooth
and hard the year around. We need
only the active cooperation of al
citizens and all officials to give Ken
County the finest country roads in thu
world. Dover Sentinel.

The announcement of the Univer-
Ety of Copenhagen that DR. Cook had
failed to prove that he reached the
North Poe, and that the papers which
he submitted to establish his claims
are worthless, has caused general
and intense indignation in Denmark
xgainst the explorer. The University
Of Copenhagen accepted DR.. Cooks
claim as valid. the King of Denmark
showered honors upon him and the
whole people received him with ac-
glamation. To feel that a man had
sccepted ali these distinctions and
konors under false pretense would
naturally excite indignation. In this
country the feeling will be more of
Eadness than of anger. The head of
Che Royal Observatory at BRUSSELS
suggests the possibility that Cook
made an honest mistake and actually
believed he was at the pole. There
are many in this country who perhaps
are hoping against hope that the re-
gordshe said he left in the north, and
which Commander Peary refused to
bring, back on his ship, may in the
and Justify DR.. Cook. But. this seems
10 be forlorn hope. Many Americans
will feel that DIR. Cook has not only
destroyed himself in the public esti-
nation, but has in some degree hu-
inflated his country in the eyes OF
Europe. Doubtless, Mr.. Peary and
ais ardent artisans receive the news
from Copenhagen with exultation.
But it ioes not relieve Mr.. Peary oi
the discredit he brought upon himselt
BY his ugly conduct in this affair from
the time he refused to permit DR.
Cooks records and flag to come Oh
ais boat down to the present.
