MAIL ORDERS FOR THE COMPLETE SET MUST BE SENT WITHOUT DELAY. i YAW WYC WAXES glQQPINT, Zoological Garden Incldintglly Oat aide Sum-tMoney for Blcyclo'Pathi The Mayor yesterday blossomed forth an orator of no meatj dimensions, and incidentally ha gave uttaranoa to aoma (wise aantlmenta regarding tha manner In which a city government ought not to be Hr put', himself flat on reoord lag against the Interference of any private corporation, no 'matter how 'worthy, in running tha altalra of tha municipal gov-ernment. fh Mayors oratorical outbreak waa oc.

'caaloned by therequest of the Zoological Society for an appropriation of Hi, 000 at 'tha meeting of tha Board of Estimate and Apportionment, which convened at noon in the offloe of the Chief Executive. Director W. T. Hornady, of the societys 'Board of Directors, was present to urge the appropriation. He bald they wanted tha money for the new perk In the Bronx and the society was ready to spend a dolldr for every dollar expended by the city.

It now had 1106,000 In Its treasury i to expend fob the purpose. The reason Mr. Homaday wanted the city first to expend Its money was that it was wanted for sewerage and kindred Improvements In Bronx Park, where the Zoological Garden Is located. Corporation Counsel Whalen was In favor of granting the money at once and the 'Comptroller also declared In favor of an immediate appropriation. It was eo seldom, he said, humorous-" that a corporation of a private nature was willing to expend a dollar of Its own money In a matter like this, that the city's money should be forthcegdng.

The expenditure was authorised bpTaw," he concluded. (Mayor Van Wyck had been twisting uneasily about In his seat. Now he eat up perfectly straight, and hla manner grew more earnest than usual. I dont favor giving a cent to theee corporations. But there is the law, and we have got to obey the law, was the response.

The Mayor hesitated a moment and then he half rose from his chair, all unconsciously adopting the pose, manner and tone of voice of the orator. He was evidently of the Intention to Impress his audience with his sincerity. Looking Away from the members of the Board he addressed himself directly to the repor-H torial contingent in the background. He said: They want to run our school system. They want to have a private Auxiliary Board' of' Education.

It ain't right. It ain't the way to carry on government. Why! The other day I had a lady call on me to ask the use of a pavilion In Bellevue Hospital, under the charge of her society to take care of wounded soldiers. I told her that If It were neces-' sary the City Hall would be turned Into a hospital for our soldiers, but that the city would manage It. I am not going to let her use any of our hospitals to advertise herself and the Society which she represents.

We ought to make appropriations for libraries and gardens of this kind and maintain them to the end of tlme-and the government of them should be wholly in- vested In the city authorities. There may be people who differ with me. but that Is mv Idea. Having thus delivers 1 himself, the Mayer directed the clerk to call the roll and voted aye the first one. The other 'members the Bored followed their leader, and the appropriation went.

The Board voted $160 000 for the removal of the Forty-second street reservolr.where the site for the netv public library has been selected. The $2,600,000 to build and equip the library has not yet been appropriated. As foretold In the Times Comptroller Colers report favored the building of the bloycle paths at the Thirty-fourth Street and Ninety-second Street Ferries, Long i Island City. The Comptroller advised the paths be built not less than eight feet from the curb. The cost will be $21,666 and the Board appropriated $22,000 for the purpose.

The Comptroller opposed the changes in the Riverside drive viaduct on the ground that they would cost $87,000 additional. His view of the matter was endorsed by his fellow members on the Board. Messrs. Joned and OConnor, contrac- tors, sent a decidedly breezy letter to the Board, saying unless they were paid for work on Grammar School No. 44.

Man- hattan, they would proceed for relief to the courts. The money, they said Mr. Coler had given them to understand, for the school had been appropriated to other contracts. The letter was referred "to the Comptroller without comment. A petition from numerous wheelmen for a bicycle path under, the road 1 at Battery Park, leading to the South Brooklyn and Staten Island Ferries, was laid over as the Park Department has the matter under consideration.
