10 “THE STATE CAPITA ‘Report of the Street Clean- ing Investigation. ame and Impotent Conclusion of the Committee. 4A BILL TO REOPEN BLOOMINGDALE ROAD. | ALBANY, April 10, 1874 ‘Whe report of the street cleaning investigation | twas presented to the Assembly this morning by j éMr. Eastman, chairman of the Committee on the Afmirs of Cities. The conclusion reached by the *eommittee will not be satisfactory to the peopie of New York. ‘Though convinced there bas been ‘waste, inefficiency and extravagance in the man- agement of the bureau, they say the cleaning of ‘he streets must be left in the hands of the | present Police Board, There are some | terms of censure in the report not likely to | ‘tmpair the appetite of Commissioner Char- | Mck or his fellow members of the Board, | The investigation tnvolvea considerable e@x- | pense to the taxpayers, and it turns out to be no more iruitiul than the varren fig-tree. Before hep- tng for clean streets and an honest expenditare of ‘the taxpayers’ money it seems you must wait for a reorganization o/ the Police Board. If the “rec- ommendawons” which the committee so gener- eusly ofer had been thrown into the form of a | -Dilland made a law the public would be apt to eredit them with more sincerity, What they have made a most searching investiga- tion into the whole subject the committee submit the jollowing a8 the results of their investiga- tion :-— THE GREAT RESULTS, The Street C.eaning Bureau expended $1,095,000 in | anliness of tite street cleaning in 1573. The lack ot the whole vear and up to most part of the city duri the present time, as shown by the testimony taken, snd By personal ouservation. proves conciusively that this large sum has not been wisely or economically expended. ‘That we Board of Police, in the manageient of this Dusiness, has shown a cuipable want ot etheiency and k ol that skull, system und economy which the city ‘@ right to expect trom public officers, to whom such + extended powers, grave auties and large amounts of money are in‘rusied, and that the entire ‘stem oF street cleaning as conducted by them has beea an imposition ‘WpoN the people. We believe that the heads of the Street Cleaning Bureau and many of their subordinates have been negligent and Agmorant of their duties and of the details of ‘this imbor- tani business, and indifferent to the obligations imposed upon them by law in this respect. Sources of revenue improved by former conductors of | ‘Mis business have Leen neglected, and more or less of the proceeds applied to private profit, and in one case at Yeast the refuse from the city Was used in the improve- Ment of privace property at a loss to the city. ‘There ulso appears to have been, on the part of many ef he minor employes of the bureau, a system of levying | private emolument, pou | contributions, for their own ‘the citizeus, Who were already largely taxed, to procure the pertoruiance of work which was too often negiected. That the Street Cleaning Bureau has been crippled in its operations and the efficiency of the departiment seri- ‘ously affected by the interierence of influential persons im demanding the employment of incompetent laborers ‘and minor officers on the torce, and thus men have been | Pressed! into the service without any regard to their com- ‘petency or their physical condition. The Police Bourd and police torce have failea and elaim to be unable to enforce the ordinances relating to | ‘the throwing of garbage in the street, and the other or- | e3 the enforcement of which would relieve the Board of Health in the discharge of its duties and im- Peove the sanitary condition o: the city. Taking the above tacts, which are fully supported by | + the iestimony, into consideration, the committee was | forced to the conclusion :— LAME AND IMPOTENT CONCLUSION. ‘That the work of street-cieaning should no longer be continued in the Police Department, and that in uo other of the existing departments of the city could it be as | efficien: +3 Uy anc as economically pertormed as it should It was the opinion of your committee that so important @ public work, involving an expenditure of $1,000,000 an- ually and necessitating the employing of a force nearly large asthe Police Department proper, should be dis- ti its arganization and workings and an the hands Gistinct board of competent managers. whose whole ‘should be to attend to the requirements of the work | ‘to whom the people could look tor responsibility. | Your committee was therefore prepared to recommend | M@eeparate board of three persons, to be appointed by the Governor, to be known as the Street Cleaning Board, | ‘and bad prepared @ bill in support of such recommenda- | tions, when they tound tha! in bo manner that could be »- @evieed could ihe constitutional objections to such a ~ course be overcome. . It was then urged that the Health Department would be the proper one to exercise this power, and there were many theoretical considerations in favor of such a stem. But the Board of Health has no adequate Machinery ior undertakin: ef that board deprecate the imposition of those duties . Seen Deueving that it will cripple their powers and : mce in the performance of the duties already im- esed upon them. We are, theretore. left to the conctnsion that the clean- fag of the streets must, tor the present at least, be leit in athe hands of the Board of Police. "What the control and execution of this important work be in the hands oi an efficient Pouce Board is the epinion of gentlemen who have had great experience in | @onnection with the strect cleaning of New York, and ‘who, at the same time, expressed very strong opinions to the detects which have characterized the recent management of the Police Department. That body mecessarily bas its patroimen and officers passing through every street several tines a day, and is, there- Jore, in a position to know the condition ot ‘the streets and ix Bow the work of cleaning them is progressing trom time to time much better than any other organization or body vould do. Moreover. it rests with that body w eniorce the jaws and ordinances with reference to its of substances in the streets. L your committee are convinced that the cleaning ~of the Dublic streets in the city of New York can only be iy and economically accomplished by a board - Soeomposed of men Who recognize their frst duty to be to | ‘the great mass of the people, who look at it in # sanitary and economical point of view, which position your com- a are jorced to the conviction the present Police Beard does not occupy,and any permanent improve- pmacnt can only be expecied from & reconsiruction of the oar’ ot Police. ‘~ #ino, that the most satisfactory results in cleaning the 8 cannot be reached until ‘the celective pavements + Se scany of tne sivcets, expecially in the lower parts of + abe city, are. remedied ; and also, not until a sufficient Water supply is provided to flu the prmeel streets jonever such @ cleansing 1s demanded. | EASTMAN, Dutchess; Mr. BIGLIN, New York; . ¥ioH, Putnam: air.

A NIGHT OF FARCE—BERGH'S BILL, The proceedings in the Assembly last evening ended in a roaring farce. Mr, Sherwood was called to the chair by Mr. Spencer, acting Speaker. He is the camp-meeting preacher who speaks in a high falsetto through the nerves cf his nose. Melvin’s bill ‘for the protection of lite’ was up. It has been already published inthe HERALD. The first section, on being read, set the whole house crazy. Mr. Lincoln, though ponderous a8 an ele- phant, got as playful as a kitten and said a Dill of this character shonid receive the careful con- sideration of the Assembly, as it was for the pres- ervation of lile. Thereupon Mr. Sherwood, in his in- imutable falsetto, exclaimed, here attempting to save.” Roars of laughter followed the manner of this remark. The read- ing proceeded, and when Bergh’s extraordinary ne for eating live oysters on the half shell, for killing bedbugs and the like were announced the tumult was tremendous. Spittoons, law books, ink bottles and everything hapdy were knocke about to sweil the coniusion, The Chairman was‘ out of breath calling order and broke his gavel hammering on the desk, In the miast of the babel ) Mr. Alvord moved to report progress, and the mo- tion was declared amid a terrific storm of ‘-Noes’’ and yells of laughter. sherwood then came down | and said :—“Mr. Soeaker, the House has been in Commiitee of the Whole on the bill for the preser- vation of life, has gove through with it beautifully, and I leave the rest to you.’’ (Shouts of laughter.) | The bili created such incomparable tun that it will | before the session 1s over. PRIVATE ACCOMMODATION AT PUBLIC EXPENSE. There isa bili before the Committee on Cities of the Assembly to alter the map or plan of New | York ctty, which @ certain Mr. Lew Puillips and a few of his iriends in Bloomingdale would hike to at the expense of the city, 80 a8 to secure for them- selves a more extensive street front jor their sey- eral residences. While it appears impossibie for such an outrageous bill to pass, there 18 always danger that it may when the committee insists upon keeping it to the last few busy days of the session. The committees are responsible for half } the evils of legislation. TOM MURPHY A RAPID TRANSITER. Ex-Collectom Murphy 1s here to look aiter the | passage of the bill extendi the cbarter of the Gilbert Elevated Railroac | to be president of the company. He 1s full | rapid transit notions, and wtends to unload ail his | @Vallabie assets into this enterprise. THE MOTT HAVEN CANAL. Judge Flanagan, o! Westchester, protests against | the bill of Mr. Murray for the closing up of the | Mott Haven Cana!, and intends to contest it in committee, with tie sanction of the people who | nave property ajong the line of the canal, which, in | the event of this bili becoming law, would be heavily taxed to pay for the s0-cailed improve- ment. | THE HONEST BAROMETER OF THE ASSEMBLY. | The fact that Griftin, commonly called Honesty,” member from Delaware, has spoken | ouly three times this session is said to be evidence | that the current jobs are lew. Old Honesty, pre: tending to be deaf as a lainppost, secured a seat near the Speaker's desk, out of whicn he cheated Mr. James Hayes. Hayes says, “The sucker aiat | deaf very much, He can hear @ ten-cent stamp fail on a pile of feathers forty feet away.” DEATH OF AN ASSEMBLYMAN The death of William R. Knapp, Member of | Assembly trom Rockland county, was announced by the Speaker, and a committee of five appointed to draw up resoiutions, These were presented | adopted. As provided in the resolutions, five | Members were designated by the speaker to at- | tend his funeral as a@ tribute of respect to his | Memory. NEXT WEEK FOR RAPID TRANSIT. Colonel Spencer has at jast succeeded in secur- ing a day Jor the discussion of the Rapid Transit bili of Eastman. Next Tuesday is positively set apart for this purpose. The Colonel intends to | Ibake 1t the great event of his legislative career. it is to be feared Eastman will be thrown in the | shade. Spencer claims more of beauty, youth and macy with the wants and wishes of the people of New York. His maxim is that honey catches more fies than vinegar, and he relies upon the sweet- | voice to melt and mould the rugged Weea and the Truggeder Lincoln. DR. SWINBURNE’S CLAIM, At the evening session of the Senate President | Robinson presebted a memorial from Dr. Swin- burne regarding his $90,000 claim tor running a | steamboat, which wi ; ferred to the Finance Committee. The Doc: | insists that the money is legitimately bis du that similar services by other health office: | apa ig and saccessors—have been paid for yy the State, JERSEY POLKS POISONED BY NEW YORK HAM. | Mrs. Dennis Kearney, of East Orange bought a | ham in Washington Market, New York, several | Gays ago. On Tuesday the family ate liberally, of | It, sickened dreadfully soon after, and for a time | it was feared several members would die. All have recovered except a little girl and she is mend- ing.
