L.I., lawyer hired by the PBA after his sue cess in winning big raises for Nassau and Suffolk cops, agreed with Paterson. "It could wind up we get more, it could wind up we get less," he said. "Our position has always been that we are going to negotiate a police contract not a New York City employes contract." The two sides did not actually exchange any demands yesterday. The little give and taks that did occur was done for ih-i benefit of television cameras in a crowded hallway of the Office of Collective Bargaining, 250 Broadway. Another meeting was scheduled for next Monday.

The city resumes talks this afternoon with the coalition of city unions. The talks broke off Friday because of the union's anger at Koch's demands for more than 60 cuts in worker benefits. "We've agreed to modify our de mands," Paterson said. "We assume they're prepared to make some movement." Yet another front on the city's complex labor picture will open tomorrow when the city begins talks with the Uniformed Firefighters Association, which broke with the coalition shortly after the police union did.

Deputy Mayor Basil Paterson. "It would strain New York City to the point where it would obviously push us over the brink (into bankruptcy)." Patersoi made his statement after a brief session at which the city formally opened negotiations with the police union. PBA President Samuel DeMilia reaffirmed his plan to push for big increases to bring New York's cops, who now receive a base pay of about up to the $21,000 level of police in Nassay County and other suburbs. The union also wants more than $6,000 in fringe improvements to match the gains of Long Island cops. "We are negotiating for status, to p.

"I don't want to negotiate for Got-baum's union," said DeMilia. "I don't want to negotiate for anyone but police officers."

He disclosed that cables have been snapping on the Brooklyn Bridge and that the city has ordered subway trains traveling over the Manhattan Bridge to reduce speed because of twisting in the roadway. Personally inspecting the 75-year-old Williamsburg bridge, Commissioner Anthony Ameruso admitted that its deck has been so poorly maintained for decades that soon holes will be so deep and large that the East River will be clearly visible through them. "It could be thre years, maybe five years at the most," said Ameruso, "but we'll definitely see holes in the roadway soon if we don't make repairs."
