RN AE THE “RING” CASES. What Is To Be Done with the Alleged Partici- pators in the Ring Thieveries ? The District Attorney’s Office Silent, but Active. The Arrest of Harry Genet and What He Has to Say About It. ‘The snccess of the District Attorney in the Tweea case has, it seems, given him new courage to push forward more energetically than ever his prepara+ tions for the prosecution of the other members of the “Ring,” who have been indicted for malefeas- ance in office, and, judging ‘rom the activity that prevails among his subordinates, there will be no compromise from this out for even the smaliest of the small fry who have already been placed under She ban. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S PLANNINGS, Various rumors were afloat yesterday as to what Mr. Phelps had made up iis mind to doin regard © the accused parties; but, jor some reason or other, nothing definite could be learned as to his imtentions, A reporter of the HersLD dur- ing the day called at the District Attorney's office, with the view of agcertaining what action he really intended to take in the cases of ail those under indictments based on accusations of having been concerned in the Ring frauds. The District Attorney himself could not be seen, but ene of his assistants, Mr. Russell, happened to be in the office at the time, and was therefore spoken ‘to on the subject. Mr. Russell was as curt in bis replies as he was polite in his manner. He was evidently under the impression that the reporter had struck a trail and that, if ne were not guarded im hie speech, the trail might become a high road for too much speculation among people outside of the District Attorney’s oftice, who were as anxious as Mr. Phelps can be to see ail the wrong-doers punished according to their deserts, Hence, doubtless, Mr. Russeil’s studied curtness; hence the exceedingly polite way in which he made his curtness ali the more relishable, “Mr. Russell,” said the reporter, on entering the office, “would you be kind enough to tell me what, Mf anything, is being done in the District Attorney’s office toward hurrying up the trials of the remain- ing ‘Ring’ robbers ?”” “What do you mean ?’ queried Mr. Phelps’ as- Bistant, as he threw himself back in bis chair in apparent astonishment, “I mean simply to ask this:—What is being cone in this office now in regard to the so-called ‘Ring’ cages?” THE CASES YET TO COME. “Ah! the Ring cases; 1 know wothing about ‘those cases.” “Do you speak for yourself or the office 1” “For myself just now.” “Then Mr. Phelps alone knows what is being done in the matter. Is that your inference ¥” “It is not. | infer nothing; but I will say that I @op’t think Mr. Phelps knows anything about them.” “You mean to say that can get no more infor- Mation from him on the subject than trom you for Publication—that is the idea?” Mr. Russell smiled, toyed gently with his mus- tache, looked very wise, but made no reply, The reporter then questioned Mr. Russell as to the cases of Norton, Coman, Walsb, Genet and the other parties who have been indicted, with the Rope of ascertaining whether the triais are to be ushed at once or not; but evidently acting under structions from his chief, Mr. Russell was as dumb as an oyster. It is almost unnecessary to state that under the circumstances Mr. Russell was soon afterwards left alone in his glory. The rumors that were afloat during the day Felative to the additional Ring cases were not b: any means devoid of foundation, for, notwithstand- the reticence of the District Attorney’s as- sistant, it can be stated as aiact, on the best of authority, that Mr. Phelps nas made every prepa- Yation necessary to BRING TO A SPEEDY TRIAL every one of the indicted parties. Not only this. Additional indictments have been found against the same parties, in which, while most of the old charges are reiterated, much that is new has been made apart of the bill. A gentleman connected with one of the courts states, moreover, that Mr. Phelps has had ever since the Tweed case was opened a number of special detectives engaged, not only to “shadow”? the parties indicted and who are under bail, but to take due note of every move made, and so far as possible ascertain every ‘word uttered by the witnesses in relation to the cases in which they are expected to appear for the prosecution or defence. KEEPING THE WITNESSES STRAIGHT. One gentleman who ts to be a witness in the In- gersoll case has, itis said, been shadowed ever since the accused ,furniture maker was indicted; im fact two detectives have quarters on the same block in which he lives, so that by day and night alike he is strictly under surveillance. It may be mentioned in connection with these additional cases that no criminal proceedings will be taken— for the very good reuson that they cannot legally be taken—against Connolly or Tom Fields, whiie they are wasting their sweetness beyond the juris- diction of the Court. Mr. Russell, the Assistant District Attorney, was kind enough to concede a hegative reply to the question put to him whether or not criminal proceedings could be taken against the absentees. Probably the best evidence possible that the rumors are true as to new indictinents being found against the same parties against whom indictments were found over a year ago, is THE ARREST OF HARRY GENET posrarday, on the strength of two new indictments rought against him by the Grand Jui It will be remembered that during the great week of indict- ments in 1872, when the Grand Jury indicted so many persons supposed to have been in some way connected with frauds against the city, Genet was one of the number, the charge against him betng that he had used lumber, &c., of the city in tne erection of his own house. The announcement of bis arrest on two other indictments yesterday, therefore, created quite a sensation. rT, Genet, however, found no difficulty in getting bail, espe- cially when it was learned that no new charges were made in the new indictments, A HERALD reporter met Mr. Genet late in the afternoon, after Uae given bail, and asked bim what it was all WHAT MF THINKS ABOUT IT. “Oh, it’s the same old story,” was his reply} “about that lumber business, and so on.’? sehr charges are the new indictments Pa in, the word of a feltow named Banker, whose statements two grand juries have already refused to give credence to, They don’t amount ip weight to that of the paper on which they are written,” “You feel unconcerned about the matter, then?” “No, I don’t say that. Concerned Iam, tor I tell you, whether 4 man is imnocent or not of charges made against him, it is by no means pleasant to hear yoursell talked of as an indicted party. ‘Therefore I do feei concerned about the thing; but T otherwise feel PERFECTLY INDIFFERENT TO THE CHARGES. ‘They are faise trom beginning to end, and I defy any body whose word is Worth the hearing to prove em. “I heard to-day that you were making prepara- tions to leave the city so as to avoid trial.” “You did, eh |’? and Mr. Genet indulged in a loud guffaw; “well what next? Jt is a wonder some aper hasn’t got me in Brazil since forenoon, Why have no more idea of leaving town than I have of making @ voyage to the moon, and the route that way I haven't learned yet. I have nothing to fear from the charges made against me, and know o! Mo good reason why I should run away.” GOING TO ALBANY. “will Te. to Albany ?”" “Will? Just as sure as [live next January and am well Ishall go and take my seat in the House. ‘The tact of the matter 1s, that these new indict ments bave been brought out against me by the machinations of a certain party tn the new Court House. He wants to prevent me irom going to Albany if he can, and he is going to do his level best to do it. He thinks to frighten me from go- pL bat 1 know where I stand, and go | will, come what may.” This ended the conversation with Mr. Genet, who | seemed to be in the best of spirits, Lively mes are certain to be the order of the day at the District Attorney's office in the matter of the Ring prosecutions during the coming month, TWEED, The Ex-Boss Still in } Cell in the Tombs—He Not to Go to Blackwell's Island for Some Days=His Visitors The New Stringent Kegalations at tne Tombs=The Bill of Exceptions and ‘What Will Be Done With It, It had been generally expected that yesterday Tweed would have been taken to the Penitentiary on Blackwell's Island to begin serving out the sen- tence of 12 years which Judge Davis tmposed on him Saturday, Animated with this thought and in the desire to see #0 distinguished @ convict there gathered in front of the Tombs, in spite of the gen- erally devestable weather, a choice and large num- Ler of persons. Who Wasted DeWenbly duiipg the NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. 5 morning, jost for the sake of having a momentary glance at the ex-Boss as he passed out from the prison to the carriage, which, of course, would have been in waiting for him to convey him to his island home, But the rain fell heavily, the clouds gathered threateuingly, the smoke came up and downb the streets disagreeably, the crowd waited patiently, the hours dragged slowly and the “Big Six”? came not, At an early hour Warden Johneon was on hand, but in answer to inquiries said that he had nothing further to do with the prisoner than to keep him in the Tombs until the Sherif’s officers should see fitto take bim out. It was not a case, he said, which coneerned the Commissioners of Chariues and Correction until the prisoner was delivered to them safe and sound on Blackweil’s isand, After that he was their responsibility solely. Warden Johnson did not know anything about the time for taking Tweed away—whether it would be that day or later—but he did not believe it would be during the day, as he should probably have been notitied, MEETING OF THE COMMISSIONERS. About half-past nine the Warden stated for the building of the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, where @ meeting of the Commissioners Wook place which lasted three hours. The purpose of the meeting was a general one, to enact measures for the better safe keeping of the prisoners in the Tombs, It was mentioned at the mecting that the Warden had a prisoner in his care whose loss would entail more trouble than than that of Sharkey, thougn probably as the Sheriff undertook the responsibility for Yweed he would keep somebody with him, ‘The meeting then went into consideration of the questions as to how the Tombs could be turther secured, and that escapes like that which hap- nenee last week ip future might be made impos- ie. It was suggested that the plan of admitting all persons who chose to ask for a pass to visit the prison, or who said that they had some triend or relative there, was @ very unsafe one, and one which was capable of much modification, It was suggested that instead of this visitors only see prisoners in the visitors’ room, and that in cases where a Visitor was admitted to see a prisoner in the prison itself, ander special permission by the Commissioners, it be done by a keeper accom- panying the visitor to the cell, and standing near while the conversation went on, so that if he could not hear (which was not deemed necessary) he could in any case see all that went on between the Visitor and the prisoner. sf Warden Johnson, it is said, also complained that e was NOT GIVEN ENOUGH POWER over his subordinates; that they were appointed by the Commissioners, and not by him, and that they, as it were, felt an irresponsibility which was disastrous to the discipline of the prison. It is be- lieved that some action will be taken in this mat- ter, and that the under keepers will be made re- sponsible to the Commissioners through the Warden, but giving the latter more direct power than he has heretofore possessed. Regarding the rumored removal of the Warden it is certain that there has been some talk upon the matter by the Commissioners, but that a strong pressure has been brought to bear upon them on both sides— some in favor of the present Warden and some against. A Commissioner told the HERALD re- i porter yesterday that they had not considered the matter in the Board yet, but that it would probably come up in a few days. A resolution was also passed making it obhgatory upon all persons wisbing to visit prisoners In the Tombs to bave a pass signed by one of the commis- sioners, besides @ certificate of character from somebody else. It is believed that this, if it has no other eitect, will make the number of persons visit- ing the prison infinitely less than it has been. it was also resolved to put new locks on the doors leading to the celis and do away with the old ones, The locks will also be renewed on the doors of ingress and egress. This change will cost a goodly sum of money. The rst effect of the new and stringent rule re- regaranng visitors was seen in the matter of the prisoner Tweed. When W. M. Tweed, Jr., arrived at the prison to see his father he was refused ad- mission, and so was Mr. Richard Tweed, the pris- oner’s brother. They were obliged to walt a long time before they succeeded im obtaining admis- a and then it was by means of the new passes, ne, y REMAINED A LONG TIME with the prisoner and talked over business mat- ters with him. Foster Dewey, Tweed’s secretary, was also on hand, but was not admitted. Tweed had slept soundly the night before, and did not refuse eating a breakfast which was sup- plied py Mrs. Foster, the matron oi the Tombs, trom outside, he of course pays for the privilege. The cell in wnich he has been confined has not been renovated or improved in any way, and ‘Tweed has not asked for any bettering of his con- dition, It is evident he expects a stay of proceed- ings from some Of the judges of the Supreme Court belore he goes to the Penitentiary. voyage to Biackwell’s Island he stili hopes to avoid. Shortly aiter rising he wrote @ letter to his wile, and seemed to feei in better spirits thereafter, and read the papers. Shortly after Sheriff Brennan and Deputy Sheriff Shields visited him. Mr. Shields still has supervision, as it were, over the prisoner, and will have until either a stay of pro- ceedings arrives or that the prisoner goes to the Penitentiary. SHERIFF BRENNAN STATED to @ reporter of the HEHALD that it was usual to allow prisoners a few days in the Tombs after their sentence to settle up their worldly affairs and see .their relatives, &c, The shock of asen- tence was sufficiently strong on a man without hustling him immediately off to undergo it. There was no probability that Mr. Tweed would go over in the usual Belicvue and Black- well's Island boat, nor was there any necessity of taking him there in the ‘Black Maria.” When a prisoner was abie and willing to pay for a special carriage and a special boat, there was no reason why he should not ve conveyed by them instead of the ordinary and more humiliaying means. No other prisoner would accompany Mr. Tweed. A deputy sheriff told the reporter that Tweed would probably remain in the tombs for two or three days yet, beiore going to the Penitentiary. During the interview Mr. Brennan and Tweed had together the iormer said he thought it was as well to prepare for tle worst, as the chances of a stay of proceeding were yathey small. A statement is also made that, pehding the presenting of THE BILL OF EXCEPTIONS to the Court, Tweed will not be taken to the Peni- tentiary. This bill of exceptions 1s being prepared with all possible haste, and a number of copyists are at work upon it day and night. The excep- | tions taken relate mainly to the authority o: tue Court to pronounce sentence upon the counts sep- arately and as to the jurisdiction of the Court, The | point that was made that the jury was frightened by the action that was taken with the Stokes’ jury by the Court, and thonght they would be punished ifthey disagreed, ana were thus unrighteous in their verdict is aiso ia in at length, It is probable the bill of exceptions will be ready by Wednesday and will be A ne over by Judge Davis. It is thought by the defence that alter that ; It wil not be hard to get a Supreme Court Judge to grant a stay. On the exceptions the writ of error Will go on appeal first to the General Term o! the Supreme Court sitting im January, and if the de- cision is adverse to a new trial it wili then go before the Court of Appeals in Albany, GREEN AND TWEED. — - Resolutions Passed by the Reform Associ- ation=—The Comptroller Denounced as Repeating the Ring Tactics—Judge Davis Lauded, A well attended meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the above association was held at their rooms in the Everett House lastevening.

Tweed in the councils of this the extraordinary exertions made in b y the eminent counsel ehgaged in bis detence at ent trial, and his great infiience among a large mass of his fellow citizens in (his community, the thanks ofall honest men are due to the Impartial ‘and upright Judge who tried him, the incorruptible jury which con- vietd him and the’ zealourx and undaunted District At torney (Phelps) and his able assistants (Moser.

EVACUATION DAY. Seem Ninetieth Anniversary—The Ve’ the War of i812 to “Dine Ou! Parade of the Seventh. To-day is Evacuation Day, the ninetieth anniver- gary of an event which should be as religiously ob- served as the annual celebration of the Declara- tion of Independence. That which, in years gone by, has distinguished the 25th of November from its ephemeral sirters is and has, for some few years, been wanting. Prosperity has ever been the mother of indifference, but never was the truth of the maxim more clearly demonstrated than in the case of the American people, Year by year the healthy and vigorous enthusiasm which anoiver- saries of revolutionary deeds inspired har grown feeble and weak, until now there is nothing but an automatic militia parade and a cold, formal, official review left to remind one Of the stirring deeds of old, It may be the in- troduction of an anomalous foreign element into the community, and the consequent displacement of the natives, that have caused this lukewarmness of sentiment and unhealthy apathy regarding revo- tionary memories; but, be the cause what it may, the truth of the statement is unaltered. Ina few years, when the last of the few surviving veterans of the war of 1812 have gone to receive the warrior- patriot’s reward of eternal peace, the day will alone be remembered by those who happen to be reading an American history at the time, Taking into consideration the POPULAR LOVE FOR NOISE AND BLUSTER, setting aside the manifest propriety of per- petuating the celebration of the evacuation, would it not be well to vest the anniversary with a little scent of powder and firecracker giee? Or, better still, perhaps, to erect a permanent liberty pole in the Battery Park, and on each recurring 2th of November lubricate said pole and offer & “square” meai to any of the myriad loungers who would climb its slippery heignt, If something of this kind is not done the how leeble manifestat.ons will dwindie into eating turkeys, staying at home and thanking our revolutionary fore- fathers for having done something to give the worker a@ holiday. The late war has cured the populace oi their love for military dis- play, and now nothing but the presence o! @ veri- table general and powder-pertumed soldiers will cause an excitement. The parade of a few militia reziments will do but little vo perpetuate the potions memories of the day; for the parading lelegates from Hibernia Hall could call together any day—the 17th of March not especially—a bigger and more enthusiastic crowd than any “crack” regiment in the State. It may not be amiss to here recount the story of the EVACUATION OF NEW YORK CITY by the British troops, for many* must nave for- gotten it since it Was told last year. This is the story which should never become Wearisome to the American ear, On the 25th of November, 1783, the British troops, who had occupied the city almost without inter- ruption throughout the war, prepared to take their leave, Not willingly; for, apart from the humiliation of defeat was @ natural feeling on the pare of both officers and men at leaving what had een exceedingly pleasant quarters—for New York, though not the largest, was then, as now, the me- tropolttan city of the Union, Noon was the hour which had been fixed for the departure of the British troops, and they obstin- ately refused to move a moment sooner or to allow the American flag to be hoisted. One enthusiastic shopkeeper on Chambers street hoisted the Stare and Stripes over his store, indeed, early in the morning; bat Provost Cunningham, whose name will always be hated on Manhatian Island, ordered it taken down, and so frightened Pend storekeeper that he would have yielded bad not his wile come to the rescue and defied the Pro- vost and the whole British army. The Te- mained where it was—the first and for several hours the only American flag fying in the city, Very sullen were the British in their Jeave-tak- ing, and not a little mean, too, as was shown by their nailing their flag to the flagstaff on the Bat- tery, removing the halyards and greasing the pole, 80 as to prevent or delay the hoisting of the Ameri- can colors. When the trick was discovered, how- ever, the rage of the populace scarcely exceeded the energy with which they set out to outwit the foe, A raid was at once made on Goelet’s hard- ware store in Hanover square, where nails, ham- mers and all needed tools were procured, and a man was soon found who climbed the pole, nailing cleats as he went until he was able to fling out the Stars and Stripes from the top. As the British left, Washington, at the head of the patriot troops, entered the city, their whole march being like a royal progrese until they reacbed Fraunce’s Tavern (still standing), corner of Pearl and Broad streets, where Washington made his headquarters until the memoravie day when he took leave of his officers and departed to surrender his sword to tue Congress at Annapolis. THE PARADE. In obedience to General Order No. 13, the Seventh regiment will parade to-d: in full uniform and overcoats for review by His Honor the Mayor and the Common Council. The members are to as- semble at the armory at a quarter to two P. M., sharp, and then proceed to march, HOISTING THE FLAG, Adjutant J. Gouid Warner, the adopted son of the veterans of the war of 1812, will hoist the Stars and Stripes on the old block fort in Central Park at sunrise. The veterans are to be the eee of the Sixth regiment, N. G. 5. N. Y., to-day. hey will assembie at the armory of their hosts, No. 130 East Fifteenth street, at twelve o'clock noon, in uniform, and proceed en masse to the attack on turkeys, sandwiches and champagne, THE HARLEM BOILER EXPLOSION. SSeS Fourth Day’s Procecdings Before Coroner Kessler—The Evidence of Experts and of Residents in the Neighborhood of the Scene of the Di iter. The proceedings of the fourth day’s inquiry into the cause of the Harlem boller explosion continued at the Coroners’ Office yesterday, before Coroner Kessler and the jury. ‘The evidence was mainly that of “experts” and had reference to the quality of the boiler, William Johnson, of No, 108 Fast 126th street, testified that he was an engiveer in the employ of the Hariem Market Company; he was at one time in charge of the exploded boiler, in the employ of Coyne & Beemer; he took charge of it on the Zlst of October and ran it 2 hours; it Was then stationed at 126th street and Fourth avenue; Witness gave up the job because he thought it was too much labor to atiend to tne boiler and hoist. ing machine at the same time; : little Jeak in the back part of oiler and one in the firebox; he had no apprehension that it was unsafe, but believed it was.a strong boiler; he had stood behind it with & pounds of steam on; the safety gauge Was set at 80 pounds, it required at least 60 pounds of steam to hoist the bucket; when It blew open It abways stood at S0 pounds: after witness left he saw the boy Daggett attending to the boiler alone; when the furnace door was opeied the boiler would not make 3 »pened the furnace previous to its removal; he should always be taken in removing was very slow y Dotiers with in making steam ob; the boiler steam at ‘first; he caw Mr. Balmore, the owner of the boiler, stop the crack.

The first witness recalled after recess was Mr. Kenny, the clerk of the Messrs, Cameron, who was asked by the Coroner whether @ man of | the name of James Fitzpatrick Was in the employ of the firm six months ago and was present at the ume the negotiations for the sale of this boiler to Mr. Balmore took place. “ Mr. James Anderson, residing at No. 50 East 124th strect, said he was an engineer and that he pad ex. amined the boiler the morning after the explosion, and he did not believe that it had been caused vy a want of | water.

He founded this on his observation oj the care of the boiler being entrusted to Daggett and his son, whom he regarded as incompetent. The inquiry was adjourned at five o’ciock until to-day at twelve o'clock. THE REWARD FOR KELSEY'S BODY, John Franklin and William Ludiam, the two boatmen who discovered the remains deciared by the Coroner's jury to be those of Charles G. Kelsey, in Oyster Bay Harbor, last week made iormal ap- plication to the Suffolk Connty Board of Super- visors for the reward offered by the Board, for the recovery of Kelsey's body, The Board refused to pay only one-half of the reward on the ground that only one-half of the bedy was recovered, and it “is understood that Kelsey's brothers withhold the reware thus offered by them until the point thus raised can ‘be decided by competent authority, The matter bes consequently been sub> mitted to the arbitration of County Judge Reid, before whom Messrs. Franklin and Ludiam will be represented by Thomas Young, Esq., who assisted the District Attorney in the investigation before Coroner Baylis. As Judge Reid has already granted letters of administration upon Kelsey's estate to his brother Henry, this would seem to place him in rather an awkward predicament, as there is as yet Do poally legal testimony WAL Kolmor is sans, CITY BUDGET FOR 1874. The Board of Aldermen Passing on the Appropriations. oe “ul WAR ON THE CONTINGENT FUDD. BES ly Wholesale Slaughter of Some Expenditures and Advance in Others, Favoritism in the Comp- troller’s Office. In anticipation of action to be taken by the Board of Aldermen on the budget for 1874, as passed by the Board of Estimate and Apportion- ment October 31, an unusually large crowd congre- gated yesterday afternoon in the chamber of the Aldermen. Among them were Mr, Henry Smith, President of the Police Commission; Colonel Charles S. Spencer and Mr. Bernard Biglin, mem- bers elect to the Assembly, and many other om- cials. After the reading of the minutes and transaction of roucne business the subject for which the ses- sion was held was called up, Mr. Henry Smith rose and stated to the Board that as far back as Septem- ber 4 his commission had been cailed upon to hand in the estimate for the expenditures of 1874, and the statement presented to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment was reduced to the very towest figure and the sum asked for duly ap- propriated. Since then the annexation of the jower Westchester towns, which in September was only @ mooted question, has now become a reality, adding two new wards to the city, comprising as much territory as New York itself. The bill for the provision of annexation now completed by the vote in November, the police force must be en- larged, 80 as to cover the newly created precincts. The men now on duty there are by law created policemen of the city of New York. To meet this expense his commission will require $120,000, and for the purpose of cleaning streets in the new wards, $70,000. Thus the new Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth wards will cost the Po- lice Department $190,000. Furthermore, Mr. Smith stated that the appropriation made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of $1,000,000 for street cleaning will be found to be inadequate, and that the committee’s recommendation to in- crease the amount $131,704 50 wae proper, and would meet the requirements, On motion of Alderman CooPER the subject of the extra appropriation was referred to the com- mittee having the subject in charge. The Committee on Public Works reported the fol- lowing additions to the appropriation for the Le- partment of Public Works :— For maintenance of three additional floating baths, instead of $9,000... z $12,000 For lamps and gas, instead of $750,000. siect BOU;000 Removing obstructions in streets and avenues, in- stead of eS -. 8,000 Sirceta, repaying ana nts, instead of $100.00)... se-2 900,000 After considerable debate pro and con, & motion to adopt the committee’s report was adopted, Al- derman Ottendorfer voting in the negative, The Committee on Salaries and Onices reported in lavor of a reduetion in the appropriation for the Mayor’s office and Legislative Department, the former $11,000 and the latter $5,000, As the last named would reduce the salaries of the clerks of the Board only the Mayor’s portion of saving was adopted. “GOING FOR” THE COMPTROLLER’S OFFICE. Alderman JENKINS VAN SCHAICK, Chairman of the Committee on Finance, hereupon handed the Clerk the following report, bearing on the appropria- tion for the Finance Department :— New York, Nov. %, 1873. The Committee on Finance of the Board of Aldermen respeatfully report that they have carefully considered and investigated the provisional estimate of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the require- ments of the Finance Department for the next ensuing financial year, and have arrived at the opinion that the aforesaid estimate should be reduced $40,000. ‘The Comptrolier claims a net decrease in his depart- ment tor 1874 of $2,010 69, although he says the Bureau for the Collection of Assessments has been added to It this year and the volume of business generally largely in- creased by the charter.

Provision is made 1m the esti x ary of a Deputy Comptroller, as required by law. This place having been vacant for some two years, your com- mitiee are of the opinion that this amount’coutd be saved in future. The office of Collector of Assessments, salary $6,000 per annum, has been vacant for some time, There appears to be vacancies in the department (sal- aries for which are provided in the estimate) amounting to some $20,000 per annum. It appears there are not far from 200 appointments in the personal gift of the Comptroller, at salaries ranging from $8,000 down to $600 per annum, each of which can be removed at his pleasure and the salaries increased or diminished at his will. ‘The estimate provides $15,000 for contangencies in the Comptrolier’s office, and $20,000 tor examiners, assist- ants, experts, &c., ininvestigating work, claims and ac- counts. It seems to your committee that this amount of $5,000 is more than ainple for the purposes named. J. VAN SCHAIOK, JOHN J. MORRIS. PETER KEHR, When the Clerk had finished reading the above report Alderman VAN SCHAICK rose and made an analysis of the Comptrolier’s office. He said that jor nearly two years the office of Deputy Comptrol- ler had been vacant, and in case any mishap befell the head of the Finance Bureau there would be no one legally authorized to administer its affairs. Mr. Storrs, the Acting Deputy Comptroller, bad been employed by Mr. Connolly at a salary of $15,000 per annum, and at present he receives only $5,000, Why does the Comptroller not appoint him to the vacancy, if the man is competent to adminis- ter the affairs ‘The speaker knew of one instance where Com- missioner Van Nort dismissed a man from his employ for gross incompetency, and this very man Was DOW an attaché of the Comptroller, at a salary of $2,500 per annum, and does not perform three hours’ labor per diem. There are many other em- joyés out of the 200 men engaged here, drawing andsome salaries, a majority of whom do not ‘ 749 ate of $£,000 for the sal- know how to cross a t or dot an i, and he (tne | Alderman) thinks that the reduction of $40,000, recommended by his committee, in the expenses | of the Comptrolier’s office to be extremely lenient. The report was received and the recommenda- tions were adopted, The appropriation for the office of Taxes and | see ea ianeey e tine wenag $3,000, aoe ee printing ) an C I—Ylz., $3,000, Tae HRs amount—rig, $8 fiRALTH DEPAR! A report was made by the Committee on Laws and places, to whom had been referred the appro- priation for the Board of Health, reducing the same from $217,500 to $123,250, ‘This recommenda- tion caused consideraple debate, which was parti- cipated in by Aldermen Van Schaick, Billings and Ottendorier, all of whom opposed the same, on the ground that this bureau was composed of most intelligent S$ well as skilled gentlemen, who per- form an immense amount of labor, The motion to adopt the report was lost on a tie vote, reconsid- ered and recommitted to the committee. The Fire Department, Charities and Correction and Department of Buildings were lett untouched. REDUCING GREEN'S “CONTINGENT FUND.” The Committee on Repairs and Supplies reported favor of reducing the “contingency” for the Comptroller—appropriated at $500,000—to $200,000, “ending up’? with the mandate that none of the money shail be used for the purpose of legislation and without @ concurrent vote of the Common council. Alderman VAN SCHAICK remarked that this would stop the use of funds for paying lawyers engaged in lobbying, &c, Alderman OTTrENDORFER opposed the reduction on the ground that, owing to the annexation of new territory, extra expenses unforseen Will arise which required new appropriations. ‘ Alderman VAN Sonaick wanted to explode the idea that the Board of Estimate and Appointment consisted of five members. It is virtually composed of one, and that is the Comptroller. The Mayor and Mr. Wheeler take no responsibility; the only independent man in the Board is the President (Mr. Vance), Alderman BILLInGs was woata to the Comp- troller having power to nandie such an amount of money, but there are contingencies constantly occurring, and as the money cannot be used unless by an Unanimous vote of all the members, he could see no danger of its being misappropriated, Alderman Coorer favored the amount to be placed at $260,000, Alderman Jomn J. Morris hoped that the Comp- troller would be allowed a large contingent fund, and facetiously remarked that in the case of a Cuban war the Mayor and the Comptroller may want to raise @regiment, The motion of Alderman Otten- dorfer to amend the report making the amount $600,000 was adopted, and the amended report was lost, a8 also the original motion, which was reconsidered; and, Gpaily an amendment by AF derman Fianagen to snbstitate $195,000 for the $500,000 adopted by a vote of 7 tod a Some other important business was transacted, after whfch the Board adjourned to meet to- morrow afternoon at three o'clock. Under the charter, pursuant to section 11 ter 385, Laws 0! 1873, the provisional est! .ate 1874, the Board of Aldermen are required to ‘give thetr reasons” in detail thereon, but whetaer they have aright to alter the figures named by the | Board of Batimate and Apportionment is another question. President Vance was respectfully re- | quested Pr the Board of Aldermen to press the r views of the body he presided over in the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, of which he is a member, consequently there will be a lively time when the last mentioned body holds its next session. .
