The following message was received from His Honor the Mayor. To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen of the

City of New York. M A Y O R ' S OFFICE, )

NEW YORK, July 7, 1873. f On the 5th day of June last I nominated to

your Honorable Body for confirmation two per-sons for Police Justices. The nominations were laid upon the table. At the next meeting of the Board, one week later, it was resolved not to act upon the nominations for Police Justices, until the names of ten persons should be submitted to your Honorable Body for confirmation. According to the wish of the Board thus expressed, I, at the next meeting following the adoption of the res-olution in question, completed tne list.

These nominations were made pursuant to the provisions of the statute passed May 17th. 1873, entitled an act to secure better administration in the Police Courts of the City of New York. This statute removes from place and power the present Police Justices upon the appointment of their successors. It was enacted in compliance with a necessity strongly felt, and almost universally acknowledged in this community, that some such measure was absolutely indispensable to enable the present government of the city to remedy, in one of its most important Departments, the cor-ruptions and frauds which pervaded the whole fabric of fhe city government, as administered by by Our predecessors.

The appointment of the new Justices and con-sequent removal of the present officials is made by statute, to depend upon your confirmation of my nominees ; so that your action and co-opera-tion are indispensable to our obtaining that " bet-ter administration " in our Police Courts, to secure which the statute was passed. I have nominated and submitted for your consideration and confir-mation the names of persons possessed, in my judgment, of character, and the qualifications necessary to discharge efficiently the duties of the important offices they are nominated to fill. For some unexplained reason these nominations have not been considered by you. No action on the subject has as yet been taken. Why this should be so, I do not pretend to understand ; but in view of the fact that the summer season is already far advanced, and believing, as I do, that to de-lay this matter until the fall will expose us to the just censure of our constituents, I feel constrained to press the subject upon your attention, and to urge upon you the necessity of immediate action.

If my nominees are not acceptable to you the public have a right to know this, and the reasons therefor, at as early a date as possible consistent with a due regard to the proper discharge of your duty in the premises. Your early action, what-ever it may be, the public have a right to ex-pect.

The power vested in you ought not to be exer-cised in an arbitrary manner. A due regard will, I am satisfied, be awarded by you to the charac-ter and qualifications of the nominees of the Executive. If in either of these particulars any one of them is found to be deficient, and you will make known to me your objections, I will en-deavor to avoid them in any future nominations I may be called upon to make.

My natural instincts, as well as my education in public life, have led me to believe that the safety of our institutions, under our form of gov-ernment, demands that the interests of the com-munity should be regarded as paramount to the interests of individuals, cliques, combina-tions, or rings, and that all delegated power should be exerted to promote the welfare of the people—not as a favor or a grant, but as their right. • . ,

With a firm conviction of the correctness of these views, and in the light of my past experi-ence, I have essayed to discharge the duties wnich the law has imposed upon the office I hold ; and I hope, in the matter of the Police Justices now before you, you will not permit any obstacle to be interposed to further delay you in the dis-charge of your duties, and thus obviate the action (which has been more than hinted at) of some of our constituents invoking the aid of another power to secure and maintain the public

and deliver the bonds therein specified, and to pay over to said company the amount of said loan, pursuant to the provisions of said law, on receiving the security for the repayment thereof which is therein directed to be given.

Which was referred to the Committee on Finance.

Alderman Morris moved to take from the table a message from his Honor the MAYOR, dated June 26, 1873, nominating Edward Fitch, Wm. G. Ulshoeffer, James D. Kilbreth, Marcus Otter-bourg, Thomas D. Sherwood, Elial F. Hall, Walter S. Cowles, and Benjamin C. Wandell, as Police Justices.

A l d e r m a n McCaflerty here rose to a point of order, and stated it to be that the message in question was, when received, laid on the table, and ordered to be printed in THE CITY RECORD, when legally established; and, inasmuch as THE CITY RECORD was not so legally established, such publication could not be made, and, there-fore, it was necessary before the communication could be properly brought before the Board, to reconsider the action taken thereon at that meet-

On motion of Alderman Van Schaick the mes-sage was received and ordered to be printed in the minutes.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS RESUMED.

G. O. 92.

New York be, and is hereby authorized and di-rected, on behalf of the City of New York, to execute a lease from John Shaffert of the prem-ises situated at the northeast corner of Second avenue and First street, in said city, for a period of five years from the first day of May, 1873, at the annual rent of two thousand five hundred dol-lars ($2,500), with a condition in said lease that the premises be put in a proper condition for the use of the Fourth District Court of said city, at the expense of the owner, and the Comptroller of the City of New York is hereby authorized and directed to pay said rent quarterly from the proper appropriation.
