Contract Million of Dollars pony sone Unpaid—Work of the Different Bareaus—The Checks and Balances and Guards and Fences of the New System, dic. Ornce oF Srager ComMIssiowEn. New Yorx, Jan. $1, 1659. Qo sux Hovonasua THs Common Counciy:— In compliance with section 29 of the charter of 1857, I faave the honor te submit the following report in retation to the businees of this department, to include the Sst of December tast. ‘Te Btrect Department has charge of street improve- ments, wharves and slips, roads and avenues, public Jands snd places, lamps and gas, construction and re- pairs of public Dduildings, supplics to public offices, expenditures for fire apparatus, removal of obstructions ‘and encombrances from streets aici harbers, and the eoilection of sseeeements. In the principal office, besides the Street Commissioner and Deputy, there are ten clerks, five iwspectors and three messengers. There are nine separate bureaus im the department, im each of which there is a superixtendent, er officer in charge, and the mecessary clerks and inspectors. This immense and varied Duriness, involving sn annuel expenditure ef about three millions of doilers—affecting, as it does, nearly every futereet iv the city, and being intimately connected with other departments, and largely dependent upon prompt action of the Common Councit—requires to be conducted with method an@ syetom, as well as strict.adherence to law. On the S0th April last, at the time Mr. Edward Cooper took charge of the Department, the basinces was tm a state of confusion and disorder borderimg on chave— The result, im part, of defective laws, of ignorance nd neglect, and of designing fraud; and in part ewing no dowdt to dhe fact that for six months @r more there had been no recognized Street Com- missioner, and consequently very very little business ove regular!y by the department during that time. The amount of office room was entirely inadequate, and seve- val of the Superiptendents had no offices and no records ef their business. Notwithstanding the fact that there ‘were ten separate bureaus in this department, hyndreds ef applications in reference to details of unimportant rou- time business, properly beleoging to the diferent bureaus, were brought iy direct to the Street Commissioner. Amongst otber things wore a large number of bills for work done or supplies farnished during the time that the office was contested, nearly all of which were irregular, nod some fraudulent—the whole amounting to more than pe bundred and fifty thousand dollars. Most of these Giaimaots, as well as other persons having business with She department, insisted upon seeing the Street’ Commis- sloner, and discussing day after day their own especial grievances. There were something like one hundred and Bity contracts for street improvements, involving large . imerests to property holders, contractors and the city— the Corporation acting as Justice with limited powers e coutracts, with Ecurce an exception, were found to be irregular, very many of them illegal, and gome fraudu- Jens. The roubwe business bad been, i part, allowed to ie over, aud came crowding into the eflice. In this con- dition of things Mr. Edward Coopar st once recognized the necessi'y of a radicat change in the whole department. a cirou'ar gddress:d to heads of bureaus, Jane 10, J858, as to the future organization of business: appendix marked D, and transmit:ed herewith.) He.aionted a ays- tem of accvuuts for the transaction of all new business of fhe office, and at the same time commenced eniiecting wformetin trem every availavie source in reference to te existing condition Of work and accounts, by contract @r otherwise, which had been for years in progresa and was still lying unsetvied. New ordinances for the government of the oppartment were prepared (See pro- @ee'ivg of the Board of Counei'men, Dec. 22, 1858.) and every effort was made to establish the whole business pen a proper basia, Much bed beea done towards the acoomplishment of this purpose before Mr. Cooper re- tired from the office; but this object has not yet been fully @tained, nor can it be until certain important changes @re made in the city charter and laws. The system adopted for the trapsaction of business, (ogaiu see circu. lar 1) the keeping of accounts and making payments, is thie:—The Superintendent of the Bureau baving charge of & particular kind of work or the furnishing of suppties maker to the Street Commissioner a written report, sct- ting forth the facts in the case anf his recommendation Wereupon. If approved the Sirecet Commissioner or Deputy certifics to the necessity of the expenditure, as re- quired by the charter, and orders the work to be doae, or the supplies to be furnished. The Superinvendent, after the execution of the work or the deitvery of the arvicles, examines the bill rendered to him, and if it ie found correct he bas triplicate vouchers made out in Yegular printed form (see appendix marked C, transmit- ted herewith,) on each of which Sho accouat is copied. The origival bill is fled in his office, and the triphcate vouchers, certified by bim, are transmitted to this office. If approved they are certified by the Street Commis. Wover or Deputy, entered in the books of this office, and @ Leqaisition upon the Comptroiier i# then drawa by tie ‘Street Commissioner for the amount of the voucher. The requisition, with triplicate vouchers app:nded, Is then sent, with iether of franeaittal to the Comptroiie by whom « warrant upon the treasury is dra 4Q feyor of the party to whom the money is | sod this warravt ig given to the party this office, one of which is filed here aud the other is Awanemiticd to the office of the bureau under which the expenditure was incurred. Toese triplicate vouchers form the basis of the whole system Pa reg and accounts, and in themse!ves are a record of atl the money transac: tions of the department, of which there is a complete file of origival papers in the office of the Comptruiler, ia this office and in that of the bureau under which the work waa done. (Tn appen*ix marked C, transmitted herewith, this Whole system of accounia, with triplicate vouchers, &., Will be found fully discuetet, and its advantages, as a safegna'c to the city, explaine'l, ina report mate by m ‘when Deputy Street Commissioner, to Mr. Edward Coope: od by him Jaid before Mesers. A.C. Flagg and ff. R. De- rest, in wh pacity 48 a Committee on Accounts.) It Will be'seen by this that no payments are mate dy this department. Neither the Street Commiesioaer nor o! officer of the department handles any of the pnblic money, ether than their own sataries—with the exception of the chief clerk, who has a mall account for postage, &., amnounting last year to $89 68 At the time Mr. Cooper came into possession of this office the contracts were made in a book ¢f printed forms, the bianss loft for prices being filed in with figures only, instead of being writen oat in werds. These figures, ip very many cases, ba? evideotly Dern altered; and in no case, for several years back, were any of the contracts signed by the Street Commissioner. The coutractors, it is understood, were not furnished with copies of their contracts, and im some cases, as Tam in- formed, they rigued the nook: as they were told to do, withut knowing what instrument they were signing Under the system as amended, since tae 2th of April last ali couuacts are now male in triplicate, all prices aud amounts are written ont in fall, and each of the triplicates is signed both by se Street Commissioner and ¢-siractor. One of thesd original contracts ts then transmitted to the Vomptrolier, to form & check upon his cae one is filed im this offte, and the third 1s gtven to the cdatractor ‘po that he may always have before him the terms an’ specifications for his work, A o»rtified coy is also filed fp the office of the bureau having immediate superinten dence of the work, ths charter of 1857 requires that the terms of contracts shall be settled by tue Corporation Counse}, as an act of liminary specification to the bid or proposal. The es of contracts are prepared in this office and sub- m tted to the Corporation Counsel, and bis approval being opdorsed thereon, Broposare are calied for. This exam: Ration on the part of the ton Counsel is sometimes ‘the cause of great, but, perhaps, unavoidable delay. The ewards of coutracts oftea He a long time before the Com- mon Council, awaiting their action The result is that in very many cases work done by coutract ie materially de- Tayed by causes entirely beyond the coatrol of this de- ‘trent. (See appendix marked B for Jist of a!) con 18 awarded by this department from 20th April to Siat December, 1858.) I would respectfully call attention to the suggestions made ty the Superintendents of the Ba- reaus of Wharves, Roads, and Repairs and Supplies, in their rerorts to this department, alreaty transmitte{ to the Common Coonei!, rlative to the difficulty of making correct specifications and contracts for the numerons and frequently unforesen repairs which may be nesded on the old and dilapidated piers, roads and buildings under their respective charge. Monthly reports are required of all the Superintendents, stating the amount and kind of work done or supplies fa nished and the cost thereof, tne amount of the appropriations in each case, what has been expended, and the balance on hand, together with a return showing all the pubtic property in their possession. It is ipten‘ied that the books in the varioug offices shail be kept wp sueb manner as to show plainly the condition of all the business of the t. (On his point again eircular marked D. Ny x4 cat difficalties which have eo far prevented the establishment of this system on an entirely satisfactory basis, The more prominent ones way be enamorated as follows:— J. The propored ordinances were not passed by the Cocmon Council unui the 20th day of December, 1863. 2. Proper office accommodations bave not yet boen ob- twined. It will not be long, however, before this difficulty is removed. %. Ib is necessary that appropriations for this depart- ment be made in ‘such manner that the money can be drawn on the reguisition of the Street Commissioner only. ‘This is of vital Imporiauce; and until it is done thore can be neither regularity or certainty ta the business of tho department, Lor ca any one be hell rexponsible for ap- iations against which more than oue person Is ul- eve to make requisitions. As the charter now stan ‘a and in this respect :t is perhaps corre-t—no expenditares can be legally incurred for any purpose beyond tho amount included in the tax ig heed the year, without egisiatare ast that particular kind of expenditure murt cease, or if incurred must be done in direct violation of law. {Bee on this subject letter to the Comptroller, dated No. vember 16, 1868 (Appondix marked E), ia reference to iations reported exhausted other wise than on roqui- otha the Street Commissioner, together with Comp. toller’s answer to the same (Apponiiix marked F), in which a concestion is made for the Uma being, without adm the principle for which this Jepartmont con pe geo, remedy for this evil of appropriations exhauat ad before the termination of the year h they are tended t cover will be found in a chango of the Ascal : i ui 3 f i ee 2 i i | : | & Ey | il ii a7! 58 & £ ts =e 5 5 ii il mnended by 4 r i H EE 2 jis be dene if it is desired to improve the present syetem, which only tremmels and fetters weil intentioned and law abiting mez, whiist ethers break ‘through inevory direction, wad set all contre! at dedauce. What can be + x, when the laws are such that even often redeced to the -elternative of jolativg and overriding them, of putting & stop to the whole public business and exposing the pro- ‘perty of the city to destruction? Estimates from this de- partment for the year 1859 were called for by the Comp- dtrober in October last, and were submited ou the 30th of November. For want of rcliavle data in refecence w sup- Plies of every kind to the various public offoes, they were ‘Oot, in this reepect, entirely setisfactory. tm view of the fact that no-expenditure cap be legally wearred unless in- cluded ip the taxJevy, it is very important that ali should be srked for which may be necessary during the year. T respectfully beg leave, in calling your attention to this subject, to add that the coustat applications enade to your bovorab'e body during the current year for, expenditures for various purposes not included in the tax fewy, are irre- guar, and the action of the Common Couacil in grant. ing euch requests is often embarrassing to -this depart. meut. As the charter stands, theee applications should be made before the tax levy for the year is passed, and Prevision to meet them should be inserted therein. Again: It i irreguiar, to say the least, for the Common Council to accept work, audit accounts, and pass resolu- tions directing the Comptroiler to pay a specific amount for work done for the Corporation, aud charge the ame t a specific appropriaten which should be under the control of one .of the heads of department. Very large payments are made, too, out of specific appropriations upon judgments obtain- ed against the city, often for work doue or euppiies fur- vished years since. These and other paymeuts of a simi- lar chardeter would seem Properly to forma part of tae arrea: ages for the year, if there nO special provision made for their payment, rather than to charge them aga nét appropriations made for particular purposes, whica were intended to be exended under the control of one ot the executive departments. There is one other point to which I desire to refer in general terma, before speakin; of the business of the Superintendents of the Bureaas, an that isthe necessity of conferring more power on the Street Commissioner in regard to details of exocntive bu- siness. At present he is not entrusted with authority aut: ficient for the prompt aud eificient trangaction of the ita- mense public busiaess with which this department is charged, : THR BUREAU OF STREBT IMPROVEMENTS. Io this bureau (for full particalars.seo report to this De- nt of the Superintendent, transinitted to tne Com- mou Covneil on the 24th inst) the expenditaree are not only Dearly equal to those of ‘all the other bureans com- bined, but almost the whole amount ls paid from the Trust Fund moneys advanced by the city. To enable the Corpo- ration to colect nesesaments upan the property benefited by these improvements, authority is given ultimately to fell the property, and give title without the conseat of the Owner, This is well understood to be a right that should be exercised from urgent public necessity only; and must in every step of the process be carried out m exact ac- cordance with the prescribed letter of the law, the slight. eet irregulurity very properly vitiating the whole pro- ceedings. This buriners @ of a very delicate and com- plicated nature, requiring to executed = with extreme caution avd correctness. 1 venture to say that no business of such impnrtunce was ever before con- ducted upon such ‘ooze principles, and with euch entire disregard of all law and order, as prevailed in thia bureau for several years before Mr. Edward Cooper was appointed Street Commissiouer. The irregularities in the past have ‘deen £0 gross that retroactive legislation appears to be ab- fojutely beceseary before present entangiements can be upravelied. Tue late Street Commissioner and present Deputy Street Cemmissioner (tben Superintendent of the Bureau of Street Improvements) were occupied much of their time oe the otitstanding contracts, accounts and assessment lists for work in tuis bureau, during the pe- tod ip which they held those offices Mr. Cooper, in councetion with the present Superintendent of £t eet Improvemen: g:Ven great attention to the intricate questions involved in these matters since he re- tired from the office of Street Commissioner. A report on these contracts, prepared mostly by the three gentiemen Above named, was Lanemitted, with the report of the Su- Pees, on the 24th inst. , This subject requires, and hope will receive thorough consideration on your part, and such action og may be necessary for the protection of the large intercats inve!te4. WHAKVES, PIERS AND SLIPS, Tam satisfied a pian should be adopted for making the wharves of this city of duruble materials, which would admit of their being kept copstantly ip Berviceable condi- tion, and be better adapted to the commercial necessities of the city. Iwou'd recommend that stops be taken by your honorable body to determine the best mavurr of ac- complighivg this object. For the present condition of the wharves, and the business connected therewith, refereuge is made to the report of the Superiutendent, transmitted to the Common Council bis cay. RoAba as acd g Little hes been dune towards repeiring the roads, for the reason that the appropriation was pearly exhausted be- fore the appointment of the present Superintendent. For inforanation with regard to this bureau you are referred to the report of the Superinten tent, transmitted to the Com- mon Council this LANDS AND PLACES, The Superintendeat of this bureaa reports upon the state of tue public parks uuder his charge, to which, and previons reports from this department, you are referred for full particulars.

Rives wil not Alend—~The Intended Reception of Governor Wise at Wathington—He arrest of Senator George E. Deneale at Rockingham on a Charge of Swindling—Pather and Sen in Jail upon Charges of Felony—Preparations for the Spring Trade, de., de. ‘Tho Whig State Convention to nominate enndidaten for Governor, Licutevaut Governor and Attorbey Geversl, meets in this city on this day week. Tho commitice of arrangements has already engaged the African church for its accommodation, and is proceeding with other prepara- Uone crsential to the comfort and convenience of the dele gites. Judging by the number of preliminary meetings held throughout the State, the attendance will be very large, apd the diepiay of taleut considerable. ‘This con- vention promises to be far more harmonious than that of the democracy, for the reason that the certainty of defeat checks that spirit of rivalry whieh, from au opposite cavee, prevails 60 generally in the democratic ranks. In ‘the latter iustance a nomination is tauiamount to clection, in the former, defeat. A bad omen of this whiz revival is the ovitout unwil- lipgness of the Hon. Wm. C, Rives to take any part in ite proceedings. By an unforezeen accident, of course, he is called off to Boston at this particular period, aud bis business, as it is said, will keep him thore until about the 13th inat., the day, unfortunately, when the convention is likely to adjourn, This unexpected cali is exceedingly inauspicious at this partioular time, when there is iced of the best available display of mem hers ond intellect to secure a good stuart, Sach an ill- timed abancexment of the good old cauee by the ablest abd most iufivential slatesman of the whig parly bodes no prosperous results for this movement. If it involved ev remote prospect of a favmoble issue, the tact and stateemancbip of Rives would not fail to discover it; and ‘ar from meking it couveniont Ww slay away at this ume, he would be glad to unite in aay movement ot thie hina’ giving Lope of future good. Some soy, but I don’t snow how true it js, that he would not be identified with ony orgavization in which Botts is likely to play a con fp-cucus pait, This oljcotion is andesstood to proceed froma an idea that Botts’ name, boing generally held as the synonyme of defeat aud political bankruptcy, would destioy the force and prestige of any movement, however fumiy and wieely waugureted. A Fg many attribute Rives’ abeance colely to thie cause; for why would he sttit held to the tenets and ee plee of the whig party, and The Baltimore “Babes” and “Biood Tubs” Diac! d.
