We bopper the lamentable speotacie of a city full of elements from which public revenue could be omneeti without availing ourselves of it, though labor- ing the while under the most oppressive bu-dens of pub- Ho expenditure, preduced by profligacy aud waste. The system of collecting taxes require {i present system of collec! requirer impor- tant modification, both for the convenience of the llc and the security of the treasury. Under the law of July 20, 1868, the arrears due on real estate are returned on the Ist June, to the C erk of Arrears, and after that dete the responsibility of their collection rests upon that officer. Though the propriety of balancing the books of the Receiver on that date is obvious, it hes been wholly disregarded, and the amount of arrears transferred is not east up or computed. The amount into the Comp- troller, and the amount due on Receiver’s books ought to avree, aud a careful so-utiny of tne taxes and inverest |p should be annually made on the Lat of Juae, and the balance to the Clerk of Arrears, Waist the law requires this ustion on real estate, itdoes not on persorel estate. Thess amounts remain in the heads of ‘the Receiver, who, on tho 15th January, of each yoar, transfers them to a constable, selected by that officer, for collection. This eonstabie keeps an office, which he donominates, “Office of the Arrears of Ti "’ though such an office is unknown to the law. The fees charged on collecting these sums, previous to the law of 1853, must have annually amounted to $10,000. No regular rates appear to have been establisned for this oha-go, ‘and from bills exhibitea to me, it seems that five, tea and twelve per centj have been claimed by the conatabie on the amount collected. It iy unnecessary now to in- quire whether the constable selected by the Receiver ao- foals suleye and retains these emoluments ef this most profitable sinecure. It is the system that is wrong, and to polis Teall your immediate ‘attention as demanding ret All the arrears on personal tax since 1848, are collected in that office, and it does not ao) that sufficient acra- try is employed in relation te the conduct of its affairs, If the practice complained of in relation to arrears of real estate, is objectiorable, how much more is it in relation to that on personal taxes?

The Supervisors, not at all reluctant to increase the pa of that effice, under its yresent head, gravted the request with alac- rity. The statement was ey sent to that Board on the 20th October, 1855, and discloses the astounding fact that $606,288 84 remai uncollected since 1843, without, in apy ipstance. an application having been made to the courta to enforce payment, I present a summary of this statement:— RECAPTTULATION OF PERSONAL TAXKS For the Years 1844 t 1864, inclusive, Remaining Unpaid.

In this omission to enforce pay aent on the part of iver as an inexousab'e dereliction of duty. The statute baving restricted the time within whish the courts may be invoked to reack the delinquents, to the period of one year, it is now too Iate to endeavor to bring this large anaount into the treasury by the ald of the remedies which now remain, but application should bo made to the Legislature for permisaton tosell at public suction this large amount of indebtedness to the Daeg in the same manner as real estate ta sclc for unpaid taxes. this means some portion of the amount may be ro- ined, although every dollar of it sont have been, if the ample remo ies provided yw had, a proper time, beet put into requisition. ‘ss bsaeag In regard to the taxes of last year, now in the process of coltestion, the Receiver should be held toa rigid a3- countability, and required to use all the at once Sakae iy er Bey Gree hime Se the reiief of public usury.

Amore unjust and oppressive laq never passed any legislative body. Toe Board of Juper- visors of Inst year were obliged to remit a very large amount of taxable property, which claimed tho cxeep. tiona of this statute. Individuals are compelled pay taxes on the amount or value of their property, without reference to the fact whether their basiness has been profitable or rot, and this discrimination, first in- troduced by this statute, in favor of corporations, is moat ‘unequal a its operation, and sustained by no precedent of legislation. lam glad to perceive that the representative of the First district, in the Senrte, has alroady givon notice of ‘an intention to move its repeal.

And yetit ia so. Ths dcent monumen: ef the fovethought and enterprise, of the winds and energies of those conceived and construsted it, is being used in the main to supply the city with waste water—ase thiog ‘to be neglected and despised. From this reasonable calculation you will see that ita per care has becomes matter of much moment. Jt coaned to bea Sriking. apediom, The consequences have already sssumed a toning aspect. If the in- crease ot waste keeps pace witn the lacronse of popu- Jation, as it most aseuredly will if no efficient metaod ptea to prevent, we find ourselves to consider tno necessity & or prepare for gaother aqueduct, ity of reservuir, These fears areentertuined by men of reflection coguizant of the subject, as well as by myself. Thatthe waste of water can be diminished tos great extent, thers is no doubs. Addi:ional ordinances are required, entirely within your power to enact, making tne penalties exceedingly severe, and clothing] the department with full poce powers to enforee and exact.them. Sut as the most effectual pre- vVentive of waste, recommend the aioption of meters, by which the quan ity received by every houset older can be ascertained, and for which ho or ths property should be made to pay. These meters should be placed in the cel- lar of each house by the department, at the cost of the owner or oocupant thereof. The sight individual ex- pense involved could not be felt, but ewem if so, will be ‘wifling compared with the taxation for tue construction of a new aqueduct and reservoirs, That an enlargement of the capacity of the introdus- tion of the Croton water must at some future period be made is quite certaia, under the best regulations as to the economical use of the water that can oe devised; but yet the day will be so far aisian’, if my suggestion as to ‘the use of meters be adopied that even the aext genera- tion need have no apprehension of taxation in conse- quence. In this connection it may be appropriately esn- alcered whother a sufficient sum canaot be saved from the earnings of the water rents ia thus increasing the income from that souree, by which to do much towards paying for the new aqueduct and reservoirs whenever re- nired. It is not an over eatimate to say, that under the t and most prudent management, a hundred midion gallons day will be requirea for the absolute wants of New York ‘at no @istant period. With our present ratio of increase of popwlation, which, in my opinion, is far below what it will be wo have numbered the same population that old Rome had when she required nine large aqueducta, with a capacity of 260 million gal- lone, to say nothing of numerous smalier aquedacts ad- mitting marly as much more. We will not now, how- ever, determine the action to provide for so large a population on this isiand. These can be as well, if not better, accomplished woen the city has reached its maximum of population, and wen there has been more ‘experience in the tion and manegemeat of public eftuire than now, with the present limived experience and generally cept hap and administration of oar mu- ici eter it consideration in Tuerein, however, one very important connection with the future, that we should not disregard, vis.: The of the sources from whence the Cro- ton river derives ita water. ‘The nead waters of this, to ns, important stream, should be looked! atter in time.

I recommend, therefore, the appointment of a commission of competent mente investigate and look into this whole subject, with power to select such spots as in their judg- ment are desirable for the city to posseas, to the end thas #0 t an injury te our population may be prevented. ‘The comscission for taking the for the new reser. voir, appointed under the act of June 80, 1863, have com go report, and the work will soon be commenced. the from thedepartment, made to the Common Council, stated all that is now required on this sud- ject, and aa I have no recommendation to make in con- nection therewith, I emit any further allusion to itat this time, PUBLIC RXPENRE TATR LITIGATION.

Litigous men should bear the burden caused py their evil inciinations; and if people see redreas for wrongs, real or imaginary, by resort to the courts, ‘there is no reason why theit grievances should be ia- to others in no way iagesested.

It is truggpany sound thinkers have reached the convi stion that an abrogation of ail laws for the collection of debts will facili:ave fair dealing, and save largely to the honest pact of the exmmunity. ‘There are many forcibio arguments to sustain this porition, ana I am not prepared to deny ite correctness.

To ascertain the amount disoursed on this ‘account I have had recourse to the sums actus'ly paid over and above the receipts, for the 1855, according to the Comptroller's books, which will be insronsed here- after by the late action of the Board ot Supervisors, which bas raised the salarios of the Judges ot the Superior and Common Plesa Courts, and Surrogate, to $5,000, being an aggregate addition of $10,600.

It is fair vo add an estimated remt for the rooms ceoupled, being the property of the city, out which, if from inaividusle, could not bs obtained saywhere in the vicinity for lesa than twenty five thousaad dollars per annum. ‘Inasmuch as the city {s forced to 168-0 pro- perty to. very great extent, for ine accommodation of several public offices, wnich it would not if tae courta did not require these rooms, it cannot be considered unresson- aple to taolude thule value as rents in mskieg up an esti- mate ot what litfgationcomts us.

There oan be ro reason why these expenses snould not pe borne by these who creaie tho nesossity for them.

Every caso placed upon tne caleniar fur trias, or brought ia any Manner before a court for adjudication, shoul. be charge able with a sum sufficient to bear its proportion of these expenses. A small tax upon @aci ose would in the whole of s year’s business reach @ very large sum, and even if tax were made sutficieatiy } to be onerous either on piaintiff or defeodant, er both, and thus be a source of revenue, it wonid have a tendeacy to the number of suits, result which would in no way be considored detrimen.al to the paslis morats or to private interests. treasury at loast would be benefitied; and to derive revenue from sach & source would bo so novel ® pr’oedare that the hardships to ia- dividuals ould be general! excused. ths is not my pur- pose, nor have 8 Capacity, to indulge in any spesula- Hons in law reform. If'in conuestion with law we cat obtain financial reform for the public treasury, is will be about ail the good to be expected ‘rom that question. It is, however, @ probiem not ye: solved waether cheapen- ing law has resulted advautageoas!y to suitors. It is quite certain that it has not had the tendency to de- crease the ruling desire for resorting to the courts for a rearess of erences, The number of cases on the calendar of the thres leading courts of this city, on the first of January last, was us follows:— SUPREME COURT.

Some which to remedy these gievous wrongs is by univorsal public sentiment. The ple is any to it muck longer, whether the Judges or I therefore advise that means be taken to influence the E L PARK. In the communication of the 7th January, (Doe. 1,) I alluded to the apparent limited comprehension and illi- beral views of those who had the management of our Pablic affairs, and added. that whilst the peope pro- in all the essential clemeats of wealth and power, ove who had chargo of their public intorests appeared ‘to be on the retrograde movement. The iatroduc‘ion of the Croton water and the proposition of the Oeatral Park were refered to as about all that had besa projected ia keeping with an intelligent policy. At the timo of writ- ing that document it was supposed that tho opposition to the Central Park had entirely exhausted itse:t, and that ita enemies, covert an¢ open, had ceased to harbor an intention of farther hostinty—the last attempt to wT it, im the —_ of # resolution by the Common Council, ostensibly for its curtailment, having failed to receive y approval, and hence became futile. regret to © compelled to stare that there is still av apparent Cesire to deprive us and posterity of this park. Vithout alluding to the natural opposition of sush par- ties owning land wi'hin its boundaries, wh e Commissioners have not allowod them as large as their property is worth—or to the dissatisfaction of a few, who suppose their assessments too high for benefit upen their lots outside of the park—it has been allegad ‘tbat persons high in position, not comprehended withia ithe: of these classes, pave disposed to obstruct the measure. It is mot my wish to attemp? any eriticism upon the official comduet of pubiic officers, whom it must be as ore are actuated solely by a desire for public good. It is, however, somewhat exit: ‘that the confirmation of the ‘air and judicious report of the Com- miasioners for opening Central Park has been so long de- layed. The delay in this matter, arising as {t ia alleged from an opposition to any park, operates with great se- || verity upon individuals whose has been so long locked up and rendered una }, and also adverse to the true interests of the city, which now imperatively demands thia im t at the earlisat possible day. The report of Commissioners was conoluded early in December last, and was immediately presented to the Supreme Court for confirmati who net aside the 15th of that month as the day on which » motion to that effect would be heard. Cae em bey until the 22d, and om the 224 to the 2th, ‘26ta, in to the 28th, whem the same ity interposed, and the year expired without action. The subject was then se: down for tho 7th January, but on that day was fi Gostponed until the Tle: January, and agala to the 2th january, and again to the 20th, when it was the Hon. Judge Harris, who ‘will give» mattor. It cennot be supposed that the people of this city will subset to the lows of this park, if such 1s the doen, after the repeated successful efforts they have made in renia' ita enemies. I cannot think that they will allow present opportunity to escape of securing « space (soon to be entirely surrounded with ulation) to be to healthfal recreation, pure air and pote beauty.
