It is well understood by the Mayor and Controller that the commission has spent already practically the entire amount placed to Its credit by the recent sale of bonds, a sum amounting to about and that present contracts and accruing bills will by January 1 next leave the bridge In debt fully $500,000.

After the passage of this proposed amendment last winter, there were 000 must be raised in order that the bridge work may proceed uninterruptedly. Tha present contracts are so far advanced that it is essential new contracts should be let without delay to carry the bridge work on to Its further stages.

Considerable time is required for preliminary work in executing large contracts such as are now awaiting letting, and unless the commission is able to anticipate its work somewhat, costly delays will necessarily result. The commission and the Mayor and Controller are all aware of these conditions, but at present all are powerless to act. The commission is prohibited from making contracts when there Is no money available with which, to meet them. Likewise the Controller cannot certify such contracts where no funds ar on hand. On the other hand the present condition of the city's finances precludes the city authorities from authorizing: any new Indebtedness.

The supporters of Mr. Haviiand state, however, that they are not to be put off, and that if a positive, written assurance is not received at once from Mr. Belford pledging his influence in securing the appointment of Mr. Haviiand he will lose the vote of hundreds of Republncans in the Fourth Ward and in other sections the borough.

This official action of the Albany County convention, dictated by Chairman Barnes of the Republican State Committee, must be deemed authoritative and as settling the attitude of that party in the state.

It is not susceptible of any other explanation, and there is no escape from the conclusion that the Republicans have abandoned the project and propose deliberately to betray it. Unless this be so. Chairman Barnes would not have assumed the responsibility of arraying the Albany County Republicans in opposition to the action of the last Legislature aaid to the sentiments of Republican leaders. This action cannot be belittled or explained on the idea that Senator Piatt is simply permitting Mr. Barnes to make a little political capital for his local ticket in Albany City with a limited number of bearding house keepers, while in fact there has been no change of front in regard to this amendment.

It is a deep valley amon.g the hills between Riverhead and Moriches and from the foot of one ot the hills a spring supplies a brooklet which runs a short distance and then loses itself in the sandy soil. This spring and brook were undoubtedly the attraction for deer and it was also a boon to the hunter, white or red, and his dogs.
