ANNEXATION IS EXPENSIVE, Newly Acquired Territory Wil Cost the City Lots of Money. TOWNS ARE IN BAD CONDITION Money Needed at Once for Health Improvements ard to Run Public Schoola, TEACHERS GETTING NO PAY. Special Appropriation of $6,500 Ordered, but Courts Must Pass on Other Questions. ‘The annexing to New York of a big chunk of Westchester ts going to cost the city a pretty big sum, and perhaps @ great many legal battles in the courts. ‘The newly acquired territory, which em- Braces 4,000 more acres than there are on Manhattan Island proper, is in pretty ad shape from a sanitary point of view, and unless some Immediate means of relief are devised 2,00 or 3,00) school children will be compelled to roam the etreets until the cit, through the In- strumentality of the courts, can provide accommodations for them. The first problem, that involving the health of the residents of the new ter- ritory, will be solved by a further resort to the health emergency fund, waich, according to Comptroller Fitch, is al- ready stretched to a point of tension dangerously near snapping. The second GiMeculty, that concerning the schooling of the children, will probably be settle by running the schools upon credit until the end of the year. The sixty-six teachers of the ten departments in the two school districts that the city takes under its wing, will be asked to perform their duties without pay until the courts can pass upon the legality of the annex- ation and reapportionment of the ne' territory, and the Commissioners of the schoois will raise money to put the buildings naw occupled in proper condi- tion. At present there is no money on hand to pay either teachers or for re- pairs, The Board of Estimate and Appor- tionment, of which the Mayor Is the President, indulged in a two hours’ ses- sion to-day in attempting to straighten out the tangle, President Wilson, ot the Health Board, aud Commixsloner of Street Improvements Haffen appeared before the Board with a proposition to remedy the defective condition of the sewers, The Board of Health certified to the deplorable condition of the sewers asked for an appropriation of § which is in the hands of the Tax Com- missioners of the new territory, having been collected when it was a part of Westchester, Commissioner Haffen asked for $1000 additional to put the streets in proper condition, Reports describing the unhealthy eon dition of both streets and sewers In th Villages of Williamsbridge, Westcheater and Wakefield were submitted, and it was decided to appropriate $6.f for immediate use In completing excava- tions and making temporary repairs until the $175,000 in the hands of th.

C., Com- News yacht Post says should not be made of Saturday's race, since it was Valkyrie 11's first after her voyage, while it must not be forgotten that the course was more familiar to Defender's skip- per. The only drawback might have been avoided in the pressure of the} pleasure fleet. ‘That the best boat may win is the wish of all true sportsmen.” ‘The Daily Telegraph says: "Such running and beating cannot have brought out the ultimate charac teristics of the two craft, though the ac- ounts of the race are enough to show that Defender Is a very able and won- derful yacht. Lord Dunraven could not have opponents more equitable, more generous and more h.gh-spirited than the owners of Defender, who fight the sea- haitle out with the same feelings of friendly jealousy as are feit on this side. ‘The comment of The Standard is: Not only in the long beat to wind- ward, but on the run back also, De- fender showed herself to. be distinctly superior to Valkyrie HI. The race does not afford a ground for hope that the tables will be turned. Possibly, a7 every one was mistaken as to the rela- tlve performance of the yachts in a light wind, they also wrongly estimate their powers in a strong one.’ The Chronicle says “We do not give up hope haps Valkyrie IIL's. skipper quite so sharp in taking advantage of the shifty winds of New York Bay as those to the manner born. df these contests are to continue, Congress must step In and compel excursion steamers D0 may yet.

What occurred In executive session Was ascertained In a rather roundabout manner.

President Roosevelt and Commissioner Parker: also gained this Information through outside sources, and in con- Sequence at to-day’s secret meeting Col. Grant was firmly sat upon, Commissioner Andrews, it 1s said, in- formed Commissioners Roosevelt ‘and | Parker, and the Colonel as well, that Spellman had been a steady supplier of hats to the Department all through the Tammany Commissioners’ reign, and {ft was only last year that Knox, the hatter, had succeeded in breaking Spellman's pull _and getting his sam- ples before the Board, Knox then se- cured the contract.

It {s understood, however, that President Roosevelt poured oil on the troubled water: Col. Grant was seen by an “Evenin World” reporter after the meeting, an . as Chairman of the Committee on Repairs and Suppites, examined the sample hats, and finding In my. judg- ment Spellman’s the superior one, told him he could go ahead and furnish us with Wintor helmets.
