The following ia the report of the committee on the communication of the Comptroller, on assoss- ments, referred to in our last account of tho pro- acedirgs of this Board :— ‘The undersigned committee. to whoin was referred the ommunication of the Comptroller, of the 16th of July Jest, with the ascessment rotls of 1852, respectfally further REPOW ‘That.as appears by the communication, and the laws authorizing the levy of the tsx of tho present year; the following items are specific, in umount, as well as definite aa to purpowe, vin. :— 3° For Bulldiog Loan stock No. 2. redemp- 2.

That the latter amounting to $136 641 43, tor this yesr, has been paid ; besides the sum of $505 452 57, fer schools gnd school houses, (which includes the two above-men- tioned items, for support, &e , of deaf and dumb, und for the blind,) this year paid, io part, and the residue, paya- blo to the Board of Educstion. That under the authority. to apply the last mentioned sum to echool purpo-es. through the medium of the Board of Education. there have been puid of that portion of tho levy. $265.104 04 ; all of tho residue. will probably “de used within the year ‘Total amount raised and used for Capi dete 601,094 05, The exclusive control, which the State authoritics, and the Board of Education severally have, over those respoc- tive taxes, for school purposes. renders the authorities of this city and county powerless, aud they are compelled ‘to obey the requisitions. withou’ the faculty of restrain- or diminishing the expenditure, je Committeo further report, that of the item of $540,000 for police, mentioned m the law, $400,217 50 have been ox; and that there will be an excess of ex- penditure, beyond the appropriation, of $60,000. That this isto be attributed to the number of policemen, and ‘the increase of their salaries by the Common Couneil wince the law for the levy was passed. ‘That of the sum of $300,000 raised for lamps aud gas, there have boon oxponded $175.341 11. and there will probably bo an excess of expenditure of $50,000. It ia represented that this excess is occasioned by the increased amount of ee aud lamp lighting done by or- ders of the Common Council made within tho ycar. Included in the sum expended are $227 50, paid for back bills, for last year, for lighting markets; $8 810 26, id Leal ied a delivered this year, on contracts made yer included ia the appropriation of this year; bd H. 47. for balance of oil, receiged this year, on con- it made Inst year, and included in the appropriation of this year; and $30 701.36, paid for gas lighting, for the quarter ending on January lst, of this ycar. As to these gaa bills. a custom exists by which tho last eaten of each Pat for peywent, ends on the Ist of 7, ond the bill then es duc, Wherefore, the quarter is paid withia and out of the resources of the Year sneceeding that inwhieh the quarter is really in aluded: the lest quarter of the year 1860 was therefore paid in and out of the resources of 1351; the last quartes of that year was paid in this year, The excess of the lect quarter of the last year over that of 1850. and tuo back ills, above montioncd, for lighting markets, al-o contri Dute as causes to the cxoers. The committoe furthor report that the sum of $310,000, directed to bo raired for cicaning and repairing streets, ‘was based upon an estimate and apportionment made by the Comptroller. That be apportioned $180,000 thereof $40.000, expected to -be realized from the sale o street a for civaning streets, and $170,000 for re pairing streets, suet out of the raid appropriation for eleaning streets. ‘thore have been expended $177.6% 87; and there have Been realized from the sale of stroet manure, about, but mot more than; $15.000 And that. on this account. there will probably be an excess of expenditure, within the year, of $59,000. beyond the apprupriation. As oauses for this, it is represented, by the oficers of ‘the depaztmont. that the last winter and spring were un- severe, aud that the spring wes attended with an extraoidinary amount of wet and cold weather; that in variance from previous custom, by order of the Common Council, the snow icc, slush, and «treet dirt.were removed tm tho winter; and, also, Ivy orders of the Common Coun- cil, Broadway and several other strects have been «wept, this yeas, three times per week. instead of once cnly per ‘week, as in previous years; that an excersive amount of street encumbrances Bave been removed; that a number of offices and dumping boards have been mado; and that portions cf the Eighteenth, Nineteenth and Twentieth warda, out of the district oovered by the tax laws. hare ‘doen swept, also by orders of the Common Couneil; tirat thus an extra degree of labor and expense, not Ineladed in the estimate on which the law, authorizing the levy, js founcied, has been tncurred; the amount of extra ex- penditure, thus incurrod. being $40,197 46. ‘They further report. that of the said sum of $170,000, Sor repairing streets $161 024 47 bave been oxpended. and that there will probably be an excors of expenditure of 70,000. beyond the appropriation, Tho chief cause of fis in, tho amount required on the contract for the pave- ment made in Broadway, by Russ & Reed—the contract monde subsequent ta the paseage of the law. The total excess of expenditure. more than the appropriation of $010.000. meade for cleaning ani repairing streets, will probubly be $129,000. The committee furthor report, that the item in the law, of $1,986,650 embraced in the words. “ other accounts, of the City Government,”’ and to defray contingent ex- eneas is cOMposed of Various branches of expenditure, neluding that of the Alma Hous Department, which is, in fact. an independent portion of the Utty Goverament, Daving exclusive power vver, and direction of the expen- iture of the sums appropristed for the sapport of the De- partment, the Common Council having over it uo legiela ‘tive authority, 5 ‘Out of $390,060 appropriated for this year's oxpenses of this Department, $250,010 have been expended.

Ut farther appear, that feom time to time the City Tn- tor has employed porwone ae watchers, to preven saent seavengors from abusing their priciloge, of dumpin : night-eoll at cortain ducks; persons to superintend blood docks, and ‘to wateh cow-honses ; the exponse of which services, as charged. and paid within the year, thus far, is $3606 75 The committee believe that these aerricos aro'Within the duties of the polico, and that tho fncurment of the ast mentioned expense is not lawfully mutherized.” It also appears, that the City Inspector has employed an individual to grant permits for the removal of the ro- amains of deceased persons from the city, for interment ; ‘and that tho expense of such omployment, pald by him, within the year, now smounts to $333 75, Tho com- mites belleve that the expense thus inourred is not warranted by Jaw. 2d.—Tho ‘Tire Departmont—$70.000 appropriated, of which $(47 808 56 have been exnended. to this, there will probably be, at the end of the year, an exsess of ex- Tonditure of 50,600; this is to be attribated to the num.

The item of $h.683 37 charged under thie hod, for refresbments for Commis- tionors of Exeise, the committees believe to be unlawful ; sues offlcers have, by law, a fixed coup-nsation for their services.

Inthe charges unaer this head is an item of $6,116 43, for refreshments for mewbers and Commirsioners of Ex- cieo, ‘ibis expense the committee believe to be un- lawful. Since, a resolution pasted by the late Com- mow Council, the member# have recolved a fixed compensation, and tho Commissioners of Excise, by law, receive a fixed compensation for thoir ser- vices. The item of $211 for gloves. and that of $1.065 25 for sundries. are too vague for allowance. Tho item of $2436 75 for coach hire, for members, should do- sigpato, with some rearonab!o particularity, the perecee of this biting. These eeverat items appear to be Largs in amount fir only tho past portae of the year, and aro plainly deficient in dotail and explanation, 10th. County Pins erga appropriated; #6, und 05 expended. Probable excess of expenditure, $10 0C0, Under this head of expenditure is included a payment of $11.202 11. paid toward the expense of $16,085 14 in- curred for tho entertainment of L.

Jowever com mepdable may be the foclings which prompt these mani- testations, the use of the funds drawn by taxation Frome ee people, for other purposes, cannot thereby ba justine ‘The manner in which the bills for such expenses at) made, passed, and paid, is clearly wrong The practice appears to be, to state only a bricf charge for entertain- ments, for refreskments, &c, as the case may be. An approval, endorsed ou the bills, signed by the committees of tho two Boards, to whom the matter Js referred, form the only voucher upon which the bills are — Surely this cannot be regarded as couelstont with the provisions of the gharter, or with that reasonable care, in expending and passing away public money, which public servants should observe. i In the rame expenditure for County contingencies are included an item of $3,087 89 for the funeral of the Lato Henry Olay, being for conducting his remains from Now York to A:bany ; $1,840 75 for the entertainment of the Officers of tho Dutch frigate, and $1,160 25 for the expense ofa committee to Washington, relative to the Mint, In there cases, tho bills, in most instances, have been pro- pared, approved. pasted, and paid as above montioned. 11th. ‘the Battery enlurgement—sppropriation, $20,- 000; no partofthis hes been or will be used withia the oar . ‘The other items included In the lavy of $1,286,650 will, a8 to actual expenditure, not exceed the respective sums appropriatod, ‘There are various MMer appropriations and oxpendi- turea in trast and special acccunts, a portion of which relate to the financial depart mont, and a portion to asaess- ments, taxes. Hens cn lota, street openings, and other matters relative to property; and a portion relating to judiciary watters, in all of which the receipts. now or in future Will probably moot the appropriations and expen- jitures. ‘There is also an account of appropriation and expendi- ture for Croton water pipe, which are provided fur by Croton water stock. ° In the year 1861, a stock of $500.000 was creatod for the building and repairivg of docks, piers, and slips; of this sum, $300,000 were expended in 1851, und $192,798 05 were expended this year upon resolutions of the Common Council in 1851. It is estimated that for the addicional work now ordered, there will be required, within the Jeur, an additional sum of $120,000, for which sum an extra appropriation has been made by the Common Coun- cil. ‘This excess is causcd by the extraordinary numbor of pliers and bulkheads built, ani directed to be built, and the unusuai amount of work required to be per- formed, In the same year, 1851.0 stock of $500,000 was also created for the repairs and erection of buildings ; of this $150.000 were ured in that year, and $101.274 have been ty aad and will be uscd within this year. Total, An appropriation of $25,000 was made in the present pe by the Common Couneil, for work house buildings, ‘om the stock of $75,000 croated by law for such purpose, tho other $50,000 having been proviously expended. Tho several appropriations then for which the county is obliged to provide, and to apply, and pay over by law, are, for 1, The six sevral items above mentioned in the first pago. 2, The State mill tax...... 3. The State and county school money. 4, The Alms House Departaicnt...,... $1.904,822 47 Less for the deaf and dumb, and for the blind, included in the school money, 3,080 00 Over these several expenditures, the Common Council and Supervisors have no control, their only duty being to provide and pay. Of the other expenditures. those fe ment, for the Fire |¢partment, Yoel and Sips. and for Public Buildings, may be regarded as investments for public purposes. and not agcurrent ex- penses ; butiIn most of these cases, the improvidence of aging in such largo oxpenses. without previous pro- virions mare for the funds. is manifest, Thoamounte of excess of expendilures over the appro priation now provided by law, are therefore to be estina- tod as follows, viz: for 1, The Police. 2.

In some respects, complicated. Wherefore, (no committees are unabic to farniskh a complete ¢ of the hcavy and inereasing taxaut cubjected. But such cause, as have appeared to tho eo. mittee, from the examination they haye thus far mado, asthe oocusion of this large amounc of taxation, they will mention. Ast, It appears to the committes that the exaction. by law, by the tate, of £185.C41 43, over and above the pro- portion of t nool money of the State. comin county, in adoition to the tesge amount of mo for the city schools, through the mediam Edueation; in fact. so much other counties of the St i forms ono large item of th. anation of the causes to which the clvy ia al. unjust, aud xation tho Board of 2 0f the Almshou.c, to define the amount, and contre! the expendltirre of alk the moneys derwed by thom requisite foe their ments, without any iogielntive or » another cause, a6 the comimittor belie of taxation. dd, The imprudent and hasty manner In which legie tive proceedings are compan, and important meawures adopted by the Common Counoll—often upon Fimpie re- solution, without reference, and without that degree of rigid and mataro oxaminstion and reflection by the mem- bers, that the occasion requires, Contracts and improve- ments directed, involving large Interests; property and franchises deposed of, often without that wisdom and Ss ap which great care and attention only can be- stow. 4th, As the committee verily bellevo, the want of suf- ficient vigilance in attention to the details of the various departments,and, In some instances, in a rightful sys- tem of conducting them—tbey belleve that the system now adopted in the Street Department is unnecossarily expensive, and Js {neffictent; that a systom of aweoping by district contracts, or by the authorities of cach of the reepective werds. would be materially saperior, both in eoonomy sud inefficiency.

Much dclay nad alroady taken place, aud many lives lost ; excavations wore made and streets wero dug out down towards Klov- enth and Twelfth avenues, and men and everything else wore run over. Alderman Tizmann, on tho presentation of tho axors of the Committee ou the taxation of 1662, esnid it should bo secon whethor tho Assessor's foes were in accordance with the Stat» law. They paseed an ordinance some timo since, in accordance with tho Stato laws, bat this timo they had not been adhored to. Alderman Sturtrvant eaid that the committeo ' made the asacsamonts in pursuanco of existing jaws. Alderman TwzEp said it was in accordance with the Corporation ordinance that two per cent was allowed; but the State law only allowed ono per cent. He would not vote for tho assessment, unioss reudo in accordance with tho State law of 1522; however, bo should vote for it now, but not horo- after; he wished the contractors not to be kept out of their moncy. Alderman SturrmyanT said this course wasin- | consistent. The contractors should not be bone- fitted at tho expense of the public. Alderman Twrep thought it unjust to tet tho loss fall upon the contractors. Tho assessmont books were open for examination by the public, and they were to blamo for not oxemining*them. Alderman Wanp said thero was no statute lew. | The Legislature had no right to pass such a law; it | Would be unconstitutional. There was a party dis- | position in the matter. If they were getting too | much, cut thom down; they bad gone on and re- | duced the feca to a moderate sum. The gentleman | from the Seveath ward had said he did not want to | abridge tho contractors; now thoy did not want any | such thing. | Alderman Twrep—Don't speak of thom. Aldermaa Warp—I am speaking for them legally. The Common Council was liable to the contractors for all damage. Unless they could got the ordi- nance changed they must go on in ‘his assessment. " Alderman TwEE» thon read tho act of the Logis- ature. Alderman Tim ann did not wish to oppross tho contractor, but to protect the public arscssed, to whom no injustico should be done. A few days had better be granted for tho purpose of reviewing the | matter and preparing @ report. | Alderman Dexssan—Tnen it must be re-adver- | tized, and can’t come on for thirty days. | Alderman Mooxr-—I think the contractors have waited long s20neh. The report of the Committce was accepted. Alderman Sturtevant stated that the Commit- tec of Minance had reported that that John Hauck had petitioned for the remission of a fine for a nui- sance, and he moved that tho matter be reconsid- ered, Alderman Denn questionod the right of Mr. Sturtevant. Uo had voted in the minority, and not in the majority, and was not ontitled to ask for a reconsideration. Alderman StynTEVANT was the only vote given ageinst the taojority, and he was since induced to belicve that he was wrong, and was desirous that the matter should be considered. He contended he hada right to ack it. That was common sense, and the gentleman (Ald. 1).) was, of course, unablo to understand it. Alderman })sxy Ax—This is not the first perzonal insult J havo reecived at the hands of the Alderman from tho Third. Alderman Stunrevant—I novor meant to insult the goptlemsn. I only fing in his tecth what le says. insult nobody. I don’t even charge the Board with being public robbers. Alderman DixMan—This ig not the first time. Alderman StuntBy Ay or tho last.
