That is not a comforting reflection for the Brooklyn taxpayers, to whom the Bridge represents an annual interest charge of 1705.000, besides a contribution towards the redemption of its bonds of 150,000.

But though the appointing body may expects that In eighteen months hence the Bridge will be earning $3,000 a day, and that after the extra 1150,000 has been expended no more money will be needed for improvements for at least five years.

They acted with manifest wisdom in deciding not to appropriate $50,000 for a new Fire Headquarters, and in refusing the application for $5,000 to make repairs at the comparatively useless Truant Home. If they manifest an equally wise spirit of economy when they come to deal with the estimates sent in by the heads of other departments the taxpayers may, after all, find their burden for next year less onerous interested in any company which may receive permission to construct.

In other words, the Bridge earned a trifle more than the sum required for the annual contribution to the Sinking Fund provided for the redemption of its bonds. Taking the cost of the Bridge at $15,000,000, the income of last year represents a return of barely 1 3-5 per cent. It is of course, possible that Mr.

Howell's expected $3,000 a day can be earned without any notioeable inorease of expense, though, judging from past experience, we should say it was hardly probable.

As the Kings County Company is confident that it has the right to construct along that street and has proved that confidence by beginning the erection of its structure, to give another corporation the franchise of the thoroughfare would only lead to new legal complications.

It is as well to be modest in our expectations, and the fact may be as profitably recognized now as at some future time that a return for Brooklyn's investment in the Bridge must be sought in the impetus it given the city's growth rather than in any direct payment from its earnings.

Tbe expected tunnel ordinance was Introduced would be $300,000 to be placed against the annual charge of $855,000 on Bridge account.

The city grew up on the end of Galveston Island, because it could there have a water front on two sides and a somewhat better harbor than on the mainland. Yet it is continually exposed to the gulf storms, and its position invites disaster that seldom comes to the mainland. The city is connected with the mainland by railroads across the shallow channel, and when these were away yesterday it was made inaccessible except by ferry until the Toads can be rebuilt, and it had to pass the day even without telegraphic communication with the outside world.

MAKING UP THE TAX LEVY. The Board of Estimate yesterday began the consideration of those appropriations in which the public are most Interested. Its members had previously passed upon many as to whiob there could be no exhibition of a spirit of economy as the amount asked for could not legally be reduced. At yesterday's cession the Board was asked to authorize the raising of a sufficient sum to pay the salaries of two hundred additional policemen. In support of the application Commissioner Carroll made a statement which contained information that can scarcely fail to surprise the publio.
