Report of the Commissioner of Streets and Lamps. DsrarTMent oF Stress axp Lams, ) October 20, 1863. § | To THe Hovonastx THR BOARD OF ALDERMEN!— GentixmxN—I| herewith transmit t» you a report of the amount of work done in the bureau ‘of cleaning streets, since Janvary 1, last past, to October 10, of the year 1853, aod also the expenditures in performing said duty. It will be understood by your honorable body, that from the appropriation of cleaning streets is drawn all ex- penses, such as the wages of ward inspectors, manure in- spectors, helpers on heaps, ticket men, cartmen on streets, loading boats, ash carmen, making and repairing dump: ing boards, dock and wharf cart+, lease of lots for corpo- ration yards, labor in corporation yards, clerks'andjkeepera | thereof, removing encumbrances on streets, sidewalks, wharves, piers, and slips, ticket offices, hard and tin: ware, &c., &e. The increase paid for carting coal ashes for the same npmber of months over the previous year, and for feight ing the same, exceeds fifteen thousand dollars, indepen- dent of the increase of wages paid by resolution of the Common Council, giving the inspectors two dollars per day, and one dollar and twenty-five cents to those work- ing on the streets, which is alone, in these two items, an increased expenditure to this time, of over twenty-two thousand dollars. In making the esti nate for the amount required for the bureau of cleaning streets last November, for the current year of 1853—the previous yar being nearly two hundred and eighty-nine thousand dollars—1 asked for x0 hun- dred and eighty thousand dollars, being aware from the experience of the pest year, that’ the expenses would, or could, be no less than the year 1852, by causes over which | Teould exercise no eontrol, The Finance Committee, to whom the matter was re- ‘erred, thought proper to reduce the amount asked to two hundred and fity thousand dollars and submitted the | same to the Board of Supervisors, who passed upon it as reported, which made the appropriation for the Buraau | of Cleaning Streets, for the year 1853, two hundred and | fifty thousand dollars. From the condition of the city in | its ‘streets, under the present system of eleaning them, and in the absence of a cordial co-operation of the vari- | ous heads forming the departments of the city, includin, the Police Departuignt, of which the Mayor is the head, £ was satisfied that a less amount than the two hundred and eighty thousand dollars would not be sufficient. When | say the condition of the streets of the city, I mean what is produced by the neglect or total disrega'd of all ordinances relative to individual right and public entle. from & out $5,000, and insert The report of the Committee or Ferries {rem the Board | convenience, by builders, contractors, and those altering of Assistants, reducing the annual rent of the Wall street ferry from $20,000 to $5,000, on account of recent heavy taken up, and was the subject of a warin . on the y heavy ex losing ope- at present ‘ e to give up the lease 5 t decrease their rent, it beiog impossi- ble for them at present to pay even the interest on money invested. Alderman Dousrry then rose, and began by attacking the Board right and le’t. There never was, he said, such instance of favoritism in the annals of the Common Couacil It was no wonder that the peopie of this city and else- where should hold up the members of the Common Coun cil to scorn, when they would deliberately swindle the | city out of $150,000, by the adoptios of a reselution re- | dvcing the rent of the Wall Street Ferry Company from $20,000 to $5,000 per annum. As a general rule, the lay- ing on the table of any paper was silly and unnecessary; | but in the present case, where merely upon the written and improving property in various ways—such a3 addiag stories to and extending buildings, altering fronts, dig- ging under cellars, letting in Croton’ water and gas, con- necting with sewers, paving and patching streets, laying Croton mains, gas mains, tailroad tracks, &., &e.—falls with heavy weight, and must continue to fall, until a dif- forent feeling prevails among our citizens generally, and the city government is conducted as a harmonious whole, on the Department of Streets ard Lamps, While [ am willing to assume any resporsibility that is reasonable | and just, fam equally desirous to avoid responsibilities, as an officer or a citizen, thit'are not legitimately mine, but rather the fault of a syste n. | All the departments act under and by virtue of the charter of 1849, in which their separate duties are pre- teribed, which'in many important points is extremely defective, because they conflict ; and where there exists bad feeling on the parts of heads of departments, or ; bureaus, against one another, there can be thrown great | responsiblities on the bureau of cleaning streets. This state of things should not be allowed to exist. ‘The whole matter, to my mind, requires thorough, radical, but deli- communication of the Secretary of that company, com- | }erate reform, which in this particular the charter of plaining of the great expense ineurrel| by the company, the city was to lose the large sum of $150,000, he thought that the laying on the table was of great importance in- 1853 has failed to reach. in my report on leaning streets for the year 1852, do- cument No. 13, March 15, 1853, to the Board of Aldermen, deed.

Alderman Imxmay had inquired into the matter, and war fully prepared th vote for the reduction of the rent If they delaye ptioa of the report for a week or two, he was quite certain that nothing further could be elicited that could throw any further light oa the r. Alderman Barr said he would like to have the report able, in order that any imistakes wh en to be embodied in the document cc by the Board and the committee ti mieeting.

There is no city in the Union, or Europe, where such an assumption as heaping up’ and encumberin, streets and side-walks at will, for individual benefit, woul be telerated for a day, to the sacrifice of public couveni- and urutual right. Ordinances of the city, when sed, are snpposed to be for the protection of all— equally binding upon the eitizen—and which every ma- nicipal officer, by his oath, is bound to see executed. There show be a unity of action with the heads of de- partments, including the Mayor, or our ordinances, as a general thing, will amount to ‘nothing, and stand as a Gead letter for any safe or practical purposes.”” 1s departments not “acting in unity,” it not bein, the object of this communication ; bat justice to all, an a cesire to place matters in a proper light, will prompt ; me to refer to this subject in the future.’ I conceive it but proper here to state that I issugd proposals to clean the streets of the city by contract, the particulars of which will be presented to your honorable body ia due form, accompanied by the original estimates made by the parties bidding for the same. And also I received a cir- cular from the finance department, signed by the Comp- troller. dated Oct. 15th, in which, in page 8, I find the fol- lowing paragraph : ‘Tae cleaning of the streets, which has cost for the 12 months ending Ist August, $300,000, can be done for balf that sum, as shown by the bids opened on the 17th of September. Among the bidilers are per- sons of undoubted responsibility, who propose to clean the streets for $145,000; and the lowest bids bring the amount down to about $120,000. When these contracts are closed they will form the basis for an estimate of the cost of cleaning the streets for 1854.” This statement, on the part of the Comptroller, is wholly gratuitous, | speculative, and not characterized by any experience | but the present lessees being the highest} bidders, the | ferry was rented te them at the annual reat of $20,000. The whole affair was, in bis opinion, all a plot made up beforeband, obtaining the lease by bidding highest, but determining, at the same time, when an opportunits rived, to throw themselves upon the genero Common Council, and beg of them a ted $150 000. “A pretty piece of financering tha | would have supposed, said the gentleman of the nine teenth, that after obtaining the grant to run their boats to the foot of Fulton street, the Company would have waited for three months at least, to see whether it would . He cautioned them’then, in the language of » not to throw away $150,000 of the public of stockjobbers. If they would vote like stion, no man in after could point scorn at ther, and say, “there is one of cil who gave $150,000 of the city funds to Wall street Ferry Company, and swindled the of so much mon For his part, he would was hands clean of the infamous transaction, and would feel quite happy. in being aware that he had done lis duty to his constituents, He had ma‘erials and facts a “fatl money t him on the q his finger wit world prove the truth of his remarks, ‘and intended at | some other time to produce them.

They base their application for the reduction #f the rent on the uncx pected and enormous expenses they have insurred, which rhould be most thorong ly scrutinized by the members of the Board if they had any regard for their oath of office. Their motives for the reduction of the ferry rent wag apparently not disinterested; for if a poor contractor wanted any favor of them they would at once come to the conclusion of refusing him the favor, on the ground that it would be a logs to the city. He could not see why the opposite course to that which should have been pursucd should be taken by the members of the Board, they who fot there to-act with a due — to the interests of the city. Their consciences io the present matter were very much moved; whereas, if it was a poor man who was to be the not a tear would shed—not ot | | | October 1, 1851, thix | | | | there upon the subject. Besides, I wish it expressly under- and your honorable body must be aware of the stood, | fact, Uhat the current year is not from August to August, but from January to January, and +0 should be stated, perhaps more properly from Gctober to October, from the fact when I assumed the position of Commissioner of Streets and Lamps, 1st of January, 1852, I paid for lamps and gas alone c ver $42,000, from the quarter commencing Payment, being male from the ap propriation of 1862. The bids made for proporals issued for cleaning streets, and opened the 17th of September, cannot be made the basis of the appropriation of 1854, To see that the contractors to whom the bids may be awarded, perform their duty properly, according to the specifications issued at the time, it will be necessary to have inspeetors, one at least for each ward. What may be necessary for the removal of incumbrances of streets, sidewalks, wharves, piers and slips, for corporation yards, 'abor in said ‘yards, &e., &e., the basis should be upon what you expect to'do, or is to be dgge, or what the public convenience would seem to demand from the nces or the experience of the past judgmati- 1d prompt. not appear to me, at the time of making the timate for the wants of the bureau ef cleaning streets the year 1853, the expenge of coal ashes would have increaséd as it did, Your hbnorable body is aware that in certain wards in this city there is scarcely a corner grocery that ¢oes not retail hard coal, or a family that does not burn it. Ia expenses this is ‘not all. re many tenement houses the ashes are not placed in versels for the ash cart, but are thrown into the street, making rubbish of that that should be manure and caus: ing labor, and consequently expense to collect and remove the same'to the place of ceposit, and an additioual ex. pence of freichting it frem the city as rubbish, instead of the corporation getting paid for itas manure.

Fuller, who for the last five months has occupied back basement at So 219 First avenue, was yesterday found sitting in his room in front of the window, dead. Coroner Gamble held an inquest upon the body, when evidence was adduced showing that the deceased had been very secluded in his habits and bad not been seen by any person in the house since last Tuesday. The body was examined by Dr. Higgins, who gave it as his opinion that death was caused by want of suitable nourishment, and the jury rendered a verdict to that effect. On searching the person of the deceased $20, mostly in three cent pieces, were found in his pockets, and a bank book showing deposits in his favor to upwards of $2,860 was found in his trunk. As far as known, he has no relatives in this country, but from papers found in his trunk, it appears that his mother is living in England. His effects were taken in charge by the coroner and will bé passed over to the public administration. The deceased was a native of England and is supposed to have been a carpenter by trade, ‘Tre Boston VererRans—Titer Rervry Home.—The Bos- ton Veteran Association took their departure from this city in the boat which left on Thursday evening, on their return home. This very distinguished company had been on a visit to the Continental Corps of Jersey tity, by whom they were taken on some very pleasant trips tarough that city and New York, the Bostonians attracting much attention both on account of their martial bearing and rich uniform, which is of the Continental cut. The com- panies passed the Hxratp office about five o'clock, P. M., the Veteran Association of Boston doing us the honor of a marching salute, by particular reqnest of its members. The Boston Brass Band and Adkin’s band were in attend- ance. ‘TesTiMONIAL OF EstRRM—HANDSOME Piceaent.—On Wednes- day evening, 19th inst., the members of the Crystal Pa- lace police made a presentation of a purre of $126 to Lieut. Wm. Jemmison, as a token of respect and esteem from the force. Mr. Jemmison previous to entering the police service servedin the late war with Mexico. The resentation took place at the Florence Hotel, where fajor W. Bowles, in a very appropriate address, requested Licut. Jemmiaon to accept of the purre, as a token of the high appreciation entertained for him as a man anda veteran, and for the tlemanly considerations the do- nors had received at his hands. Mr. Jemmison responded with much feeling. After he had expressed his thanks, the company sat down to a well prepared supper; after discussing which, « host of national and convivial toasts were given ard responded to. ‘Tre Weatirer.—Yesterday was a close, wet, muggy Ga fo regular Isthmus weather, and acted ruinously upon the trees, Chime 4 down the remaining foliage from those in the streets, which were ornamented with them, and they were completely encumbered with the prostrate le: Another such day and there will be little foliage remain- ing upon tye trees.

Police Intelligence. Arret for Bigamy.—A man named Michael pacer was yesterday arrested by officer Marks, of the Fighteent! ward, charged with having one wife more than the law allows. It seems that on Monday week he married Ann Waters, a widow, then living at Stamford Conn., and nine days afterwards he took himself another widow, named Mary Gannon, then living at Winsburg. Both vic tims appeared in court, and seemed very anxious that justice should be meted eut to him. Judge Stuart locked im ap and told the brides to appear on Monday next, with their witnesses, and he would examine into the matter, Murderer. —| to last™evening no clue the murderer of James ba | 1 The document contains | some interesting statistics, which we quote.
