pucermc oF Tux pounn oF SUPERTHORs. eee \rue New Court House Job—Report of the : Comgmittee—Charges of Collusion Not * gustained—Interesting Discussion Pead- img the Adoption of the Report, dc. ‘The Board of Supervisors me: yesterday, the President {inthe chair. A resolution was offered raising the salary sof Robert ©. Hutchings, Assistant District Attorney, ‘from $2,500 to $5,000 per annum. Adopted. Supervisors Fox, Bleakley and Hays, of the special wommittee of the Board of Supervisors to whom was re- ‘ferred for investigation the charge that grossly extrava- ‘want and improper contracts had been made by the per- Bons direeting the construction of the new Court House, An reference to the purchase of iron, marble and bricks, “and in the payment of sums for personal services, which Bnvolved the reputation of the Board of Supervisors, pre- «aented their report. ' This report states that a thorough investigation had been made, thirteen sessions having been held ; that ‘eho Superviser making the charge admitted he had no personal knewledge of any frauds, but based it upon the ‘communication made by Mayor Gunther (who also ad- amitted that he had no personal knowledge of them) to fhe Board of Supervisors in April, 1864. No evidence whatever was produced to sabstantiate the charge of col- @usion among the bidders, Tho bids for the irou work ‘were submitted to the Board of Supervisors for action, ‘who then authorized the Lenn committee to contract the lowest bidder, and who also approved of their ‘course on submitting a subsequent report, The first at- ‘tack on the contract was made six months after its ap- ral, when Mayor Gunther took measures to ascertain Four thive other aras what iron was worth at the time ‘the contract was made, The estimates of these firms ‘were not made in @ safe or correct way to make an esti- gate on, being based on tho prices of labor and materials Sn September, and not taking into consideration the ad- ‘vance im prices, One of those firms, of which Mr. Reed was treasurer, supplied the iron for the Kings couuty Court House, and has made a claim for an extra allowance of fifty per cent, and that there was a great uncertainty in the mar- Ket at the (ime the contract was made. ‘The advance in prices from 1861 to July, 1864, was 282); per cent, and ‘the parties who stated to Mayor Gunther that they would Ihave beon willing to have taken the contract from twelve fo thirty per cent under the price paid, were compelled fo admit t the committee that at such prices they ‘would haye lo-t heavily; and the committee also knew ‘that the asnal custom of claiming extra allowance would Ihave deiayed the work for years. The prosecution ‘not even attempt to show that th» prices paid under the contract were extravagant or above the ourrent market prices, aud the committee believe they were fully war- ranted in pronouncing that the contract for the iron work was ueviher extravagant nor improper, but, on the contrary, is the best that could have beew made with ufficlent foresight to require what was proved a fair price and of sufficient character not to come fn when the work is finished with a demand for extra ecompenration, The evidence of the one witness called y the prosecution, in reference to the price of marble, showed that the county was paying less then the market rate at the time the contract was mado, consider this request if Mr. Ely would ore iron, &c., had been paid for ban had been furnished; bu. as to ascertain by measure- meat the weight of the iron in the building would in- volve great expense and require a large portion of the ‘work to be taken down, as the request only Implied that fron had been paid for whch had not been furnished, the comuittee, in the absence of any direct charve, did not feei warranted in going out of the line of their duties to order so expensive an examination without the prose- eutors assuming any responsibility. It seemed a!so the sworn bilis of the contractors, who sustain a high reputa- tion as honorable business men, should be deemed sutti- cient on this point. The brick had been furnished from time to time, as required, at the usual market rates, The testiinony a3 to personal services was confined to ‘the suis paid the architect and builder, The architect's compensation ix the same as that paid by parties erecting other extensive batldings in the city. The builder is uly paid about one-! the compensation ordinarily paid by private parties. In conciusion, the committee state that they have been ‘enable to discover anything either in tho terms and cons ditions of «aid contracts or the furnishing of materials under them which can be deemed extravagant or im- pa ‘and the prosecution not only failed to substan- to the charges, but the witnesses proved directly that ‘the contract prices were favorabic and just, and that the eharges of Supervisor Ely are not only not sustained, ‘ut are wholly disproved. They asked to be relieved from the further cotalderation of the subject. After the report had been read Supervisor Exy asked ‘to have tt Im on the table aud he would submit at the ‘mOxt meeting a minority report—that is, a view of Mead case as understood by the opposition. The report be. fore the Bosra was signed by a committee of investign- 2. im whic nobody represented the Ho himself was placed in the position moved the report be laidon the table, ‘@hat he mizhi have the privilege of presenting at next ameeting his views of the investigation and its results. Supervisor Fox said pearly fo.r months had elapsed since the nvestigation, and that was sufficient time for Mr. Riy pares any report be desired to present to ‘the Board, and he therefore hoped the report would be Suporvisor Fiy replied he did not think at the begin- ming the oe ‘would make a unanimous report, and was not different from what he an- Alcipated ie wold be. But the committee having taken ‘three months already, one week's delay now would not make any practical “Uugerenne, Ho. thoaght. 1 was im: it, = so as public justice was concerned, that beste ace oboe be allowed an opportunity of seesuing the whpersr and be should have an opportunity of being ard and controverting we Soy wade te eee ‘the report. He supposed the matier would be review: et a future ime before a different tribanal, and it would ‘tbe better noi to have the matter on record entirely in a one-sided way. ‘Supervisor Twxep said Mr. Ely had stated that he was sPlaced in the position of prosecutor; but, in elpen ‘ment, he hart placed himself in that position. Ap; making charges could not expect to be placed fm the postion of judge in that case, It "was entirely a novel ida that a person’ who was @ilowed to cali witnesses and be represented by a coun- ‘go!, and who had received every consideration a prove- cutor was entilied to receive, should be allowed to place @ny communication on the report of the committoe who fook the evidence, It seemed to him a novel way of ‘eonducting levisiative proceedings. It was well known that during the entire affair the gentleman had one of the city newspapers under his control, which was in the habit of attacking the members of the Board and the Members of the commitice who were trying the cose. and he presamed he could give the public, through its columns, whic were entirely at bis disposal, any ev - dence or other matters he wished. And now the idea of laying it avor for another weok seemed to him some the Heard could not grant, and which the gentie- man's own modesty should prevent him from asking. Sapertiver Kay replied that he bad the privilege of calling witnemes, but in this roport Gere were some ‘Uings whiels te could not produce in evidence, especi ‘eily io the matter of the brick work. He was promised ae inruished b+ the nie & A briek in the Duilding, nx when Mr. Kollum was od how many Cubic feet of brick were in ay) butition he would not be allowed bot Now, he wanted to see what wo: per- mitied to he wade public after three mouths that would not be allowed at that time. Supervisor Fox explained that in regard to entering Ato Unat mai ver it would have entailed unnecessary ex- pense. Thrve architects should have been employed by the cowmittee aad three by the other mde; but till if Me. pectin had made the charge that there was more money iu the iron and brick than wes furnished tho in Serncion woukl have been made. He reviewed Mr. Bily’s coudert ia this matter, who, he raid, bad sat at ‘that Board and received at the bands of his associates every gentlewaniy respect and consideration, and vot Le Dad charged fis colleagues with dishonesty and with Doing a party to fraud. A that the report comimitice was wade, he desired to make a min port. He (Mc Fox) saw no necessity why the report should be lad over. Supervisor £ux remarked that the committee, at the ime of the imvetigation, refused to enter into the details of the Weick work; yot since then it seems they Gia go into it.

AN OFFAL BOILING FACTORY. Policeman P. H. Miller, of the Thirty-first preeimet, sent in a communication to the Board stating that he had carefully inspected the promises situated between Eleventh and Twel(th avenues, in Sixty.sixth and Sixty-seventh streets, used as an‘offal bolting factory, and found them to be exceedingly filthy and the continued stench very obnoxious, The communication was for- warded to Dr. F. C. Martindale, Sanitary Inspector of the Seventh district. A TALLOW FacToRY. A complaint was received against the tallow factory 59 pronged street, on account of the bad smell arising from the basement.

On ‘Thursday a meeting of the standholdcrsffwill be held for the purpose of discussing the question. A CASE OF CHOLERA IN BROOKLYN. The Brooklyn people have been very happy for some time past to think that from the commencement of. the cholera excitement not one case had been reported in that city. The spell has been broken, however, as the following statement will show:—Last Sunday night a Frenchman residing at No. 40 Myrtle avenue experienced a painless diarrhcea, with rice water evacuations frequent and plentiful. On’ Wonday morning the patient was visited by Drs. Palmedo and Norris, who found the patient in @ state of collapse, The diagnosis of the case, as described by the physicians, was:— “The face presented a sunken and bdlnish appearance; the integument of the hands shrivelled and bluish; cold perspiration covered the face and hands, cramps were frequent and severe in the legs, feet, thighs and arms; great distress in the hypogastric region, with thirst and vomiting, cold extremities, cold tongue, pulse scarcely perceptible, great restlessness, and a sense of choking; he complained of ringing in the ears.’ The physicians preseribed for the patient, and at noon yes- terday he was in a fair way of recovery. The physiclans in their report to the Heaith Board say:—“We are no ists, and would prefer to conceal the true features of this cave; but as physicians itis our duty to tell the trath when a report is’ required of us. We say, then, that this case is one of cholera, and of a most vio- lent type. It cannot be questioned. We have seen too poet cases in former times to be mistaken. It differs re ether from cholera morbus in the absence of bilioas Fon iting and purging and the great distress accompany- ing this comparatively trifling complaint.” NO NEW CASES OF CHOLERA AT QUARANTINE AND ONLY ONE DEATH--SEGUINE’S POINT IN STATU goo—nucxorion TO BE DECIDED TO-DAY. lattera on Staten Island wore yesterday in a quiescent state, the excitement among the inhabitanta having cou. siderably subsided.
