Sonator Itaines saked Comptroller Farwell for the statement ho ‘was directed to ntake in regard to the CONDITION OP THE FUND. Comptroller Farwell—1 have takon a good deal of pains to investigato this Canal Tedemption Fund, sod have consulted with the Law Department in reference to the naturc of this sccount, Iamad- ssed that the Cannl Redemption Fund tanota rpeclal fund, nora trust fund in the legal senee of the term, nor in the sensc with which thecity charter treats ' certaln, =pecisl funds, like tho Pollce, Life, nnd lealth Funds, the Yersonal Redemption Fund, or the City Bridewell Fund, and Speclal Assczsments and ‘Water Fund. Whilo tlns money was recelycd from the Gtate, it wan not Btate money strictly, Tt wan ‘maney refunded to the ity for advances previous- Iy made by the city, It was received by the city on certaln conditions which, of course, we admit, and it has alwayn been the purposo of Lhe city lo ude & portion of that money for the construction of the City-1iall. Dut we cannot go boyond the pro- vislons of tho city charter in regard to certaln epe-~ cial funds, ond, whilo this Public Buflding Fund s credlied to the amount of the original deposit lesn what has been expended, still thers s not sullicient money In the Treasary, nor has there been since December, 1874, to ‘make goad the Building Fund or other funds in full.
