PARIS, May 14.-Not content with
being the ga-est city in the world and
the most beautiful, IN tho minds of all
true Parisians, Paris is preparing TO
spend $500,oOo,oo0 in the improvement
and establishment OF the city. 1t is
doubtful if any city in the world has
ever seriously undertaken so ambitious
u scheme of betterment.
The present plan for these improve
ments is simply TO complete the scheme
OF Baron Haussmann. This great 'de-
mohsher" conceived Paris of which
the two axes would iuterseet at right
angles-the Rne de Rivol and Rue 81.
Antoine, and the Boulevards de Sebas-
topol, due Palais and st. Michel Thus
Paris; in his plan, would contain a cir
Gle of inner boulevards, the great boulc-
yards, yards, p99pulaarly so-called, and the
highways would bring the inner boule,
wards into communication with the
outer and with the center. Finally a
triple girdle of highways was projected,
to consist of the boulevards laid ont
under Louis XVI, the military boule-
wards and an almost uninterrupted Sc
rIes OF wide streets connectlno these
two lines and forming a curved high.

bank, where it bears in succession the
names of Rues de Tolbiac, d'AIesia.
de Vouille, and de Ia Convention.
,One-half, at least, Of tho money
which Is 20 be raised by the new loan
is to be devoted to the piercing of
arteries Of communication, TO the i'm
provement of the old streets, and 10
the demolition of some scores of the
ancient highways in quarters which
have remained untouched since the
period OF Henry ". or OF Louis XIII.
As far back as last December a bond
issue OF 9O.OOO,000 was authorized for
this work.
When the floods devastated the CITY
it was supposed that a portion of tho
municipal loan might be utilized for
the relief of the sufferers, and for the
repair Of the damage caused in the CAPT
tai and IN The suburbs. State and pri
-Vate contributions VIII suffice, how
ever. to meet those needs. Moreover,

such step is contemplated The nunici-
pal council, indeed, not content with
the S1S0,O00,000, is gradually voting
$l2O, 100000 more for further improve,
ments
1t will take something like ten
years 10 carry out this work. When
IT is finished it is confidently believed
that no city In tho world VIII approach
