NEW YORK.-The Board of EST.
mate yesterday passed a resolution,
ordered by the bankers, for a further
S20,000,000 cut in the 1888 budget.
The bankers would not promise to
lend money with which to meet a
$40,0O0,000 bill due, unless this was
done The $2O,000,000 cut in the
budget was mostly in wages of city
workers. and Is contingent on the
legislature giving power to do the
slashing. But nobody seems to doubt
that it will, when it meets tomorrow.
And the joke Of the thing is this
the $4O;000,000 bill, for which every
sacrifice of wages must be made
was a bill presented by the bankers,
the $40,000,000 owed to the "revolv-
ing credit fund" set up by the syndi-
cate of bankers here last year.
Meanwhile the Unemployed Coun-
Gil here will send a delegation to
Albany to present demands Of the
jobless workers of New York for re-
lief. but not at the expense of the
teachers, firemen and other low paid

The Police Department has begun
to publish advertisements in the
