Commisstoner Coop o'Tered a resolution authorizing the trustees of the Thirteenth ward to advertise for proposals for a building for Grammar School No. 34, on Broome street, near Pitt. As this resolution implied the de- molition ofthe building at present on the site a very warm and lengthy discussion arose as to the feasi- bility or propriety of undertaking such a work, It was claiied that the building, although very fine looking on the outside, would require repairs and alterations to make it comfortable and healthy which would cost very nearly as much as an entirely new building. The resolution was amended so as to have the proposals put in after December 15, and was then adopted, Commissioner Vance offered a reso- lution directing the Committee on By-laws to report an amendment to the rules authorizing the Commit- tee on Supplies to furnish pianos as a portion of the school supplies.

A visit to the principal markets of the metropolis atany time during business hours would well repay f seeker after curiosities in the way of arcnitectural contrivances and peculiarities of human nature. In the latter respect it is safe to assert that the metro- politan market people are not different from market people generally, and it is equally safe to assert that the market buildings of the metropolis are entirely unlike thagnarket batldings, of any other city in the world. With abroad, clear river fowing on either side of the city and the chief market depots located on the river fronts, it might naturally be expected that the buildings would be kept clean and wholesome; but, unfortu- nately, such is not the case, This, however, is not a new subject. The people of the clty have long com- plained of the disgracefnl condition of the markets. ‘The subject has been taken up by the press, and the attention of the authorities has been called to the matter by petitions and appeals without number, In answer to these demands for reformation the market buildings have been tinkered and botched so much that what were intended to be improvements have only tended to increase the ungainiiness and disgraceful appearance of the places they were sup- posed to have improved. The constant agitating of the subject seems at last likely to be of some avatl and the Committees on Markets of the Boards of Aldermen and Councilmen have taken hold of the matter and commenced a personal investigation which, it is expected, will result in effecting the Jong needed and anxiously hoped for improvements, Yesterday morning the committees, comprising Aldermen O’Brien, Connor and Ward and Council- men Feitner, Kenney and O’Brien, in company with General Viele, visited the Washington and. Fulton markets and made an extensive and thorongite¢xam ination of the buildings and their surroundings and the causes which lead to their present unhealthy condition. They first repaired to WASHINGTON MARKE?, which, a3 18 well known, is nothing more than an accurnulation of sheds that have grown outwardly toward the river front from a miserable, dirty, dvap- idated old church-like edifice fronting on Washington street. ‘This market, be it known, affords the means of livelihood to at Jeast two hundred thousand per- sons in various capacities, is. the purchasing depot for perhaps a million of individuals, residing within a cireuit of from t] tq fifty miles, and covers an area of about fwo hundred acres, What is generally termed the main building is that portion of the mar- ket bounded by Washington, West, Vesey and Ful- {on streets, and on the westerly side of West street, out toward the plier line, has grovn what might be a wen, and what is styled the West market, it is de- voted almost exclusively to the wholesale trade, and is composed entirely of shanties built to suit the ideas of the trade of the occupants, The visitors found the main building in a most miserable condition; floors, walls, rafters and roofs all rotting rapidly. The roof, in paris covered with tin, iron, old canvass, shingles, slate or whatever else could be most readily obtained by the unforta- nate venders when the severity of the elements de- manded an immediate temporary remedy for exist- ing evils. ‘hey found, however, nothing new; nothing that the hundreds of thousands doing busi- ness in the market cannot find at any time, except a new accumulation of flich and fresh heaps of oyster shells on the West street pavement, between the rear clapboards of the sidewalk stands and the rail- road track. They found West Washington Market, of course, reeking with filth; the gangways a mix- ture of rotten wood and decayed vegetable matter, while the Lips at the back they conld scarcely find at all, as the stench from the dumping ground at one side was almost enough to make them “shut their eyes to hold their breath,” while the mounds of mud were auch as to almost obliterate any semblance of a pier that had ever existed.

Hence thetr New Year's Day, being the first day of the autumual month of Tisrl, corresponding this year with our 16th of Septeniber, commenced last evening and is celebrated in ail the synagogues or temples with great solemnity, by divine service in the evening as Well as on the following day, The festival of New Year is called Rosh Hashono. Those who stil! be- lieve fn the old established rittal, or the so-called orthodox Jews, extend their festival over two days, or over the first and second of Tisrl; the reformed or liberal Jews confine themselves to the first day.

The ceremony of a white laiab issuing from the temple with a white band was also per- formed, as a sign of God's forgiveness and of their mar pooented purity through repentance and atone- ment. On the tenth day (which this year will be Satur- day, the 25th of September) follows the feast of the day of reconciliation. called Jom Kippur, on which all Judaism feasts in exultation and glory.

A meeting of the six divisions of the Laborers’ Union Benevolent Society was called for last evening at the Nineteenth Ward Hall, in Fifty-third street, near Lexington avenue, There was only a sinall attend- ance. Mr. Patrick Welch was chosen to preside. On calling the meeting to order the Chairman stated that the meeting had been called for the spe- cial purpose of arranging for sending delegates to the forthcoming Labor Congreas, It was probable that the congreaa might continue in session two weeks, 80 that whoever was appolaied dele- tes would have to lose their time from heir work. None of thelr members could afford to lose this time, and the intention was that the delegates would be paid for their time. The ques- tion was whether they should send one delegate fom each division or one as representing all of them, Mr. JAMES FARRELL suggested that they had in their legitimate expenses—durial of deceased mem- bers and care of the sick—pretty heavy expenses, and that they ought to make the expenses as light as possible. 1. Martin Goop said that he had understood that the societies sending delegates would pay the expenses of their respective delegates, He believed wise Ks would cost only about teu dollars for each society. Mr. ConNOLLY urged that as the President of the meeting had been appointed a delegate to ihe Con- gress from the First division that it would accom- plish all that was necessary to empower him to act as the representative of this society in that body, He made a motion to this effect. ‘The CHAIRMAN explained that in appointing him deiegate from the First division the supposition was that each division would select a delegate. ‘The motion of Mr. Connolly was put and carried, Tt was stated by the Chairman that the trial in the bricklayers’ case was exciting the (typi attention of the working men throughout the country. He had no doubt that measures would be taken through the State Legislature and Congress have been covered over and booths or stalls | to have effaced from tie statute books the laid out, where vegetables and fruit are | laws hostile to the interestaJof workingmen.

It was @ fact that The streets tn the neighborhood are fully as fithy as the gangways in the market, The bed of the streets and ihe ground under the building 18 soft, biack mud, aml the drainage of that portion of the city being totally ineficient to afford proper relict, the tide water rises up, dissolves this black mud and decayed vegetable matter and oozes through be- tween the cobble stones, leaving numberiess stag- nant poois of flithy water to evaporatn and fill the surrounding atmosphere with poison. A pleasant ramble (°) of one hour's duration through this delectable locality seemed to impress the Clty Fathers with the idea that something should be done, and done immediately, to give relief to arties having business to transact in the market and insure additional means to avoid the generating and propagating of disease from the miasma which arises from the streets and slips in the neighborhood, Leaving this quarter the committee crossed over to FULTON MARKET, which, althongh not qnite so blessed in the wav of dirt, was found to be in a@ miserable condition. The roof ia rotten in many places and affords little shel- ter from the effects of severe weather. In the rainy season the weather finds easy ingress and is siftcd through the roof on the meats and produce exposed for sale, oftentimes so completely damaging the venders’ prospects for traffic as to cause them to close their stalls. In very warm weather the tar with which the roof has been in some places coated is melted and streains down into the building, caus- log almost o8 much annoyance and inconvenience as the rain. The gangways which formerly existed, opening on to South street, have been closed up by somebody and leased ont as statis for the sale of frult or hard botied eggs, rye coffee, leathery dough nuts aud ochre pies. On the Fulton and South street walks are numbers of these stalls, from which hot, sickening smeils are constantly emanating, an which, by closing im the side entrances to the market, render the Interior as unwholesome as Washington market from the same causes. There are now but two main entrances for the dealers inside the market to carry in and out their wares—viz., at the janctions of South street, with Fuiton and Beekman streets. In the basement of the market are bookstores, !iquor stores and saloons, while in the market proper—or what should be such—almost one-tiird of the space is occupied by fancy oyster houses, constructed for the accommo- dation of Brooklyn pleasure seekers, and for which the proprictors Pay to the city treasury not more than one-tenth of the amount they would be obliged to Ray for similar establishments in any other of the city. It Is av indeed, that one of these establishments driving atrade of from $150 to $200 per day pays for leasehold not more than ten or twelve dollars per week, On the opposite or river side of South street ts the fish market, which found to be in food con: dition a4 could be expected. Being built directly over the water the refuse finds iy means of escape, aud the inside of the structure berg pienti- fully supplied with water is kept as cleap as the nature of the business transacted tn it will permit. The drainage on this side of the city is fully as bad as that on the west side, and the stench arising at times from the offal of fish and meat and decayed vegetable matter, which is forced to accumulate in the water near the market, {9 almost intolerable and must nudoubiedly prove to be @ fruitful means of disease. THE REMEDY for the existing evils at Washington Market pro- posed by General Viele appears to de quite feastoie and i@ certainly worthy of earnest consideration. ‘There has been a great deal of agitation of the sub- ject of moving the market up town, but the amount of business now transacted Washington Market forbids such an undertaking. An entirely new building is absolttely needed, but the great pre- ventive to anew butiding las been the piea that the business sof the market would be materially inter- fered with during (he process of erection, It is pro- nsed by Generar Viele to erect rou columns on the esey and Fuiton street sides, and on there columns, by means of derricks, place well braced truss forming an arch compietely ene hay | present ‘his Pou Miseramie collection of sheds, ld be done without disturbing to any great extent the businese of the market, and would when competed give @ structure like th sey Rallroud depot at Jersey City.
