The Paris correspondent of the Times gives in Thursday's paper

some idea of how the enormous sum of £60,000,000 which the Municipal Council is raising is to be spent on the improvement of Paris. The Haussmannisation of Paris is to be completed. The housebreaker is already at work where the Boulevard Haussmann is to cut its way through to the Boulevard Montmartre, and thus make a broad thoroughfare the whole way from the Bois de Boulogne to Pere in Chaise. The region of the Hanes is to be improved out of recognition, while a new bridge is to be thrown across the Seine. And these are only examples.
