DESTRUCTION 0F THE entire CITY Of PARIS
May BE result Of FLOODS Of PAST FEW DAYS
ANOTHER ,ELlMlNATOR.

New York, Jan. 27.-The new city
administration under Mayor Gaynor,
which has already effected savings OF
nearly million dollars a year by
eliminating unnecessary officials, has
begun also cutting down expenses in
smaller ways.
The comptroller has just made an
arrangement with the American Ice
company, whereby the city will here
after secure it's ice at 25 cents hum
dred weight, the wholesale price, in
stead of paying as heretofore the reg
ular retail price Of 40 cents. Dis
counts of about twenty per cent have
been obtained from the concerns
which supply typewriters and supplies
and the telephone company has swung
into line with the promise to give a
uniform rate for all city offices in
stead of charging half dozen differ
ent rates as heretofore.

The bills originally introduced on
thb subject we're considered with

changes were made. Particular at
txntion was given to scheme to pre-
vent the concentration of the postal
deposits in the money centers of the
e4St. This objection to the estab-
li6hment of postal savings banks has
been met by a provision allowing
haAks receiving the postal funds for
SatSskeeping to give indemnity bonds
in lieu of collateral security, which
.obviates the necessity of banks 60
