We should thank you to give the matter your kind attention at your earliest convenience, as we have to pay a considerable amount for storage and insurance.

Allow me to add that whenever at a later time the northern part of the City will be more developed and this site should be thought the most suited for an equally I;eautiful monument of a national character, the promoters are willing that it should he removed to another place worthy of its beauty. Ill the meantime ice beg again to allow its to proceed on the site originally offered, so that the City may soon receive this beautiful birthday present to Greater New York, worth

I'ur.,uant to these pr<,visiuns, 1 submit a proposed firm ofcoutract, between the Commissioner of \Vater Supply and the CIttzcns' \Vater Supply Company of Newtown, i idursed with my approval as to form.

You will probably recall the fact that the proposed contract with this Company seas the subject of some litigation in t >ueens County in the suit of Gleason vs. Dalton. 'V'lie ,relintinary injunction granted by Justice Gaynor in that action has been revered by the Appellate Division of the Sc coil ,l Department, and an order to that effect d iii y entered.

The objections urged again,t the contract as it was originally drafted, have been remedic,l by amendutents, allot I have added a clause that in case the action of Gleason vs. Dalton shall result adversely to the defendant, the contract shall cease ant] detenuine, and that the City shall not be held responsible in damage,.

There are now, therefore, no legal objections to the execution of the proposed contract. R_,pectfully yours,

been ,IcloyetI by imperative engagements oft my part. You state that at a meting of' the ];oaid „f Public I tiprovenlent, the question a, tai which

1)epartntent was to take charge of the building of the Melrose avenue t mach uet was ittb.nittccl by file I,onnuis -ioner of Nigkitlgv,.

Ile chanted, as }'ua state, that in view of the opinion rendered by toe urn January tj last, in which it was decided that the Ricer,i,le helve viaduct was under tine cu,itrol of hi , tic Pd Ouch t, that the same rule should apply to the control o,f the depose avenue viaduct.

The Commi-siolieu of liriclgcv claimed that, inasmuch as dill coil ditFIns existed in each case, a. selparate opinion should be asked for from the Corporation CI,unsel.

1"ou ask lie, ti'c refure, to adctw your Board trhich Department is to ltav,2 control of the con-struction of the Melrose avenue viaduct.

I agree with the Commissioner of Iliidges in his statement that different conditions exi-st in each case, but the dillereuce of conditions is simply that the liridg,s in question ate c 'nstructetl under clitiercnt act,.

In one ,ene every .structure which carries any roadway or street by' means of arch.s, piers or other support,, is a l,rtdgc, but it is not a bridge as di,tiuguishcd front a street ill the comuwn use and ttnclerstauding of the tt'unl-.

\ly answer to }our question is, that there must be a general rule applicable to the entire city, and that titer-i should be only one te-t.

I hold that all bridge, tchiclt traverse either of the rivers st mom uuiiug the i.laud, are het Ige, within the mcaniug of the Charter.

I hold also, that in all other cases the hridges, viaducts, etc., by a iii clt street, are carried glee other streets or atcnucs, are streets and out bticlge, within the meaning of the C iii ter pi oisiolli.

Ill other work, the bridge., over the rivers are within the jtui,dictiou of the Contmi,-ioner of Bridgus, and all Other .,uuctures partaking of the nature of bridges or viaducts, are % iIlium the jurisdiction of the Cwutuissioncr of llighw'ays, or, tvlien within the parks, of the Departnlei,t of Parks.

\'ours, (Signed) JOHN V' IIALEN, C,rpotation Counsel.

President Haffeu requested that work lie .farted at once on the One Ilun trcd and Ii fly-tin ird Itreet and 1rlclruse avenue viaducts in vices of the Corporation Counsel's opinion.

DE. R Sin—"fhe Surrogate's Court and office; of Dings Count are located in the Hall of l.ecords, corner of Fult_xt street and Boerum place, or Court square ; there is a trolley line of rail-road on Court squat e, and the neighborhood is very noisy.

Sonic years ago. 1 was instrumental in having the block from Fulton street to Livingston street. on Court square. paved with smooth pavement ; this greatly diminished the noise. There has been a contract given out for repaving thi, block with granite blocks ; it would be in the intere,t of the public, and the proper transaction of the business of my Court, if, instead of granite blocks, this block menttnned could be paved with asphalt or some smooth pavement.

I did not kn, w, until the granite blocks were piled on the sidewalk, that there was any project f r repaving this street : and I hope that I an) not tic ]ate to prevent the lacing of these granite hi •cks as contemplated. I r "oftld earnes'.iv request your Honorable Body to have the con. tract so modified as to permit the laying of a smooth pavement on this block, as it would be almost imlossill to transact businrSs in my Court if the granite pavement is laid.

I have conumtnicat and with Mr. Farrell, Deputy Commissioner of Highways, and it is with his entire approval and sanction that 1 address this communication to you. %'our early attention will greatly oblige

GENTLE>tEN—\\-e respectfully request your Honorable Body to take the necessary steps to complete the work under what is known as the Eighth \\'ard Improvement Bill of the City of Brooklyn. The facts are these :

I I r Chapter 365 of the Laws of tSSp is the law which provides for this improvement. Under this chapter, oil December it, ISgo, $65o,roo of Eighth Ward Improvement Bonds were issued and sold, and the money paid into a special fund, as provided in the bill. This bill provided that the streets from Thirty-ninth street on the north to Sixtieth street at the south, and Third avenue on the east, and the City line of old New Utrecht on the west should be improved, and this work was dune, leaving a surplus of between $6o,oco and $70,000.

(2) Subsequently and in IS95 and iS96, by chapter 520 of 1595 and chapter 736 of IS96, the foregoing bill ucas amended so as to extend its benefits to the streets running from Third avenue to the water between the same points north and south. Under this amendment several streets were improved, and contracts were let out for others until recently, when the work was stopped, with all .other contracts of the City.

(3) It was so manifest to this Board of Trade that the Eighth Ward Improvement Bill was not involves: in the criticism of the Corporation Counsel from the fact that the money was raised expressly under an act of the Legislature and paid into the Treasury, and could only be expended for this specific purpose, and before the City can levy an assessment for the payment of the bonds involved in the improvement it must first expend this money. In view of this, this lioard directed its Comuuittee on titreets to investigate the cause of time stol,page and procure a continuance of the work until completion. At the Committee's instance, the Comptroller of The City of New York hal his experts examine the accounts and report on theta, which report this Committee was allowed to copy. and the substance of it is that, after deducting accumulations of interest which the acc)untant claims should not be credited to the fund, there remained $44,599.57. There exists at the present time outstanding liabilities on contracts which have been stopped to the amount of $9,202. leaving an apparent available balance for new work of the sum of $35,397.S7.

(4i This Committee waited on the Engineer', Department in Brooklyn, and was informed that Commis-ioner of Highways Farrell, of Brooklyn, could direct the continuance of this work. We then waited on \Ir. Farrell, and he said lie could not without directions from his superiors. \\'e then asked the Comptroller who we should apply to, and lie informed us that the Board of Public Improvements of the Greater City was the proper authority.

\\ - e, therefore, hereby request that your Honorable body will take the necessary steps to con-tinue until completion the work under the Eighth Ward Improvement Bill, and before you deter-mine the kind of pavement to be laid clown, we should like an opportunity to advise with your Board or the engineer in charge of the matter, if he represents you.

The delay in the completion of this work, the streets having been graded and being continually used by wagons causes all of the streets in the neighborhood to he continually covered with mud and dirt «l:en it rains and with sand when it is dry w•heather. In addition to this there are very large factories built on these streets, and they have not proper facilities to reach the main thoroughfare economically. This committee believes that if this fund is in such a condition as the Comptroller says and the facts are as we have stated, the work -hould be done now while we have fine weather, as if it is allowed to drag through the summer it will extend over another year.

The Eoard of Trade has authorized this committee to bring mandamus proceedings to bring about this result, but we do not feel that anything of the kind will be necessary when the whole matter is brought to the attention of the proper authorities, and certainly after driving along for ten years, the people who have pledged their property to produce this money ought not to be com-peiled now to go to the expense of a legal proceeding to bring about its expenditure.

Trusting your Hon arable body will give this matter attention and we will consider it courtesy if you will notify our secretary if your report is favorable to proceeding with the matter.

Yours respectfully, JARVIS MASTERS, CHARLES HA'fIILTO- , D. \IO\-NAHAN, Secretary, -Committee.

DEPARTMENT OF STREET CLEANING, No. 346 BROADWAY, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN,

NEW YORK, May 17, Ib9S.

Hon. MAURICE F. HOLAHAN, President, Board of Public Improvements : SIR—I desire the authority and approval of your Board for the sale of the privilege of loading

and trimming deck scows and dumpers and unloading pocket dumps of the Department of Street Cleaning, Boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx. I have submitterl the form of contract for the above privileges to, the Corporation Counsel for approval, as requ'red by law.

The contract is peculiar, in that it combines the sale of property of the City along with the performance of a kind of work of this Department covered under the head of final disposition. The form of contract, which is similar generally to contracts for the same work that have in former years been let by this Department, is made to conform as closely as possible to the provisions of Section 544 of the Greater New York Charter, although the contracts provided for in that section are such as require payments by the City, whereas in this contract payment is made to the City.

Respectfully, JAMES McCARTNEY, Commissioner.

Anti the following resolution was adopted Resolved, 'l'hat, pursuant to Sections 413 au1) 415 of the Greater New York Charter, the

Board f Public Improvements authorizes and approves, and hereby does authorize and approve of the sale by the Commissioner of Street Cleaning of the privilege of loading and cleaning deck scows and dumpers and unloading pocket-dumps or the Department of Street Cleaning, in the Boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx for a term of one (1) year, with the provision, however, that the said privilege may at any time he terminated by the said Commissioner on ten (to) days notice, the said Commissioner to select from the proposal for the privilege the bid which will, in his judgment, best secure the efficient performance of the work ; the form of contract for the sale of said privilege to be approved by the Corporation Counsel, and the contractor to furnish adequate security for satisfactory performance under the said contract.

Affirmative—Commissioners of Water Supply, Ifighways, Street Cleaning, Public Buildings, etc., Bridges, President of the Borough of JIan1 attar, President of the Borough of The Bronx, and President of the Board.

Negative—None.

The following communication from the Corporation Counsel was read and filed, and the Secretary directed to forward a copy to the heads of the various departments :

LAW 1)Et'AR7ulENT, OFFICE OP THE CURI'0R.ecI0n COUNSEL,

NEtt- YORK, May 5, 1898.

Hon. \LCRicE F. lhot.AH.CN, PVeSi,d,rt, Bard of Public tpror"myrtt : S[R—I am in receipt of your communication of April 28, iS9S, stating that at a meeting of

the Board, held on the 27th instant, a communication was received from the Commissioner of Highways requesting that the Board unanimously recommend to the Municipal Assembly that Mr. George \\'olf, Jr., be relieved from a penalty incurred by him for overtime under his contract and requesting to be advised whether it is necessary to send such matters to the Municipal Assembly for their approval, or whether they can be disposed of by the Board.

In the particular case under consideration, it appears from the contn:unicatiun of the Com-missioner of Highways that George \\'olf, Jr., assignee of W. V. Spencer, contractor for regulating, etc., Jackson avenue, front Westchester avenue to Boston road, has completed the work ; that although the contract time was 300 days, the time occupied in completing the work was 400 clays that of the overtime, 70 days were allowedl for stormy and inclement weather, leaving 3o days which were charged against the contractor.

Furthermore, it appears that the Engineer of the I)epartment of I-lighways, in the Borough of The Bronx, has reported that the contractor was delayed in the perform;uue of his work to the extent of 30 clays, by reason of the prosecution of a contract for the construction of a sewer in Jackson avenue, between (lime Hundred and Sixty-fifth and One Hundred and Sixty-sixth streets.

It seems to me, therefore, that the contractor is not liable for the overtime charged against him, and that the penalty imposed is illegal.

\\'here a contract is made for work to be completed by it fixed day under penalties of so much per day for delay, the contractor is excused the penalties for delay caused by the fault or interference of the employer.

I do not see that there is any necessity, under the circumstance, of submitting the matter to the Municipal Assembly.

The procedure to be adopted in these matters is to have all the papers relating to the clues-tion submitted by the head of the department with whom the contract has been made, together with his recommendation, to your Board.

This will be an additional safeguarcl both to the contractor and the City, as in case the con-tractor is dissatisfied with the recommendation of the head of department, he can obtain redress before your Board, and the City's interests can be subserved by having your Board investigate, in an appropriate manlier, a recommendation of a head of a department remitting a charge for overtime.

Respectfully yours, IOHN WHALEN, Corporation Couns_1•

Department for stable and yard purposes, on the westerly side of White Plains avenue, 200 feet north of Elizabeth street, Borough of The Bronx, for such action as you may deem proper.

received with a letter, dated April 21, from the Secretary of the Board of Public Improvements : Providing that 1)eKalh avenue, from Fleet street to Washington avenue, Borough of Brooklyn,

be reregulated and regraded, curbstones set and sidewalks flagged full width, and that the carriageway be paved with granite block pavement on concrete foundation, and that crosswalks be laid at each intersecting or terminating street or avenue.

I)eKalb avenue is paved with cobble-stones and is in very bad condition. The estimated cost of the proposed improvement is $54,000.

The ordinance does not indicate whether the improvement is to he paid for wholly or partly by assessment on the abutting and benetitted property, or by the City at large.

received with a letter, dated April 21, from the Secretary of the Board of Public Improvements For repaving with asphalt, on the present pavement, Gold street, front Fulton avenue to the

East river, in the Borough of Brooklyn, and resolution of the Local Board of the Third District, requesting the Board of Public Improvements to refer to the Department of Highways, for action, the matter of the repaving of said street, complaints of its condition having been made to said Local Board.

Repeated requests have been made for the repaving of Gold street, and the improvement is necessary. As one of the few bulkheads owned by the City is at the foot of Gold street, it would be better to extend the asphalt only as far as Nassau street, using granite on concrete from that point to the East river, the tragic from the bulkhead being very heavy. The estimated cost of the improvement is $47,000, which cannot be spared from the limited appropriation made for repaving streets in the Borough of Brooklyn.

DEPARTMENT OF \MATER SUPPLv—COMMISSIONEA's OFFICE,' No. 15o NASSAU S-r R F I'T,

NEW YORK, May 1S, I9S.

Hon. MAURICE F. HOLAHAN, P1t.rialnt, Boara of Public Zsnproz emi nts : DEAR StR—I transmit herewith, for the information and consideration of your Board, a copy

of a communication received from the President of the Woodside Water Company, making the proposition to allow the City to use and operate so much of the company's plant and te,ke so much of its water as will secure an adequate supply of wster to the inhabitants of the First Ward of the Borough of Queens (late Long Island City), for the period of six months and such further reasonable time as may be necessary to enable time City to put in operati n its own plant, upon the sole condi-tion that the City, while operating the company's plant, shall defray the expenses of so doing.

Very respectfully, W.M. DALTON, Commissioner of Water Supply.

OFFICE OF TILE \\OODSIDE \\:1IER COMPANY,

May 17, 1898. IY

\V1LLIA),i DALTON, Esg., Commsssioner of Ifatcr Suppit, New York City, N. Y. :

DEAR SIR—The attention of the \Woodside \Water Company has been called to the statement of Fire Commissioner Scannell relating to the scarcity of water in the First Ward of the Borough of Queens (late Long Island City), New York City.

Having full knowledge of the condition of the water supply in said part of the City and of the urgent necessity which exists for immediately obtaining a better and more plentiful supply, and having a system capable of furnishing from two to tell million gallons of water daily, with 16, 12 and to inch mains and pipes laid through the principal streets of said ward connecting the com-pany's pumping-stations with the City's system, the Woodside Water Company makes to The City of New Work the following offer :

The Woodside Water Company will allow The City of New York to use and operate so much of its plant and take so much of its water as will enable the City to furnish an adequate supply of pure and wholesome water to the inhabitants of said ward, for the period of six months and such further reasonable time as may he necessary to enable the City to put in operation its own plant, upon the sole condition that The City of New York shall, while running and operating such part of the company's plant, defray the expenses of so doing. The water call be delivered within one hour after the acceptance hereof.

Yours respectfully, THE WOODSIDE \CATER COMPANY,

EDWARD M. TYRRELL, President.

P. O. address, No. I12 Front street, Long Island City, N. Y. On the requisition of the Commissioner of Bridges, approved by the Commissioner of

Highways, the Board authorized the transfer of \\ illiam N. Johnson, Sounder in the Department of Highways, from that Deparbuent to the Department of Bridges, Borough of Islanhattan.

The Commissioner of Water Supply called attention to the fact that communications from the Ramapo and the Westchester Water Companies had been received by the Board and referred to his Department. Both companies had courteously requested that they should be granted a hearing. He could see no objection to granting this request, and therefore moved that a day be fixed for such hearing.

President Holahan suggested that Wednesday, June t, be designated. President of the Borough of Brooklyn opposed the motion and offered as a substitute

"that the Secretary of the Board communicate with the different water companies, stating that there is no prospect of the City requiring any additional water from water companies at present."

Which was adopted. Adjourned. Attest :

JOHN II. MOONEY, Secretary.
