WISTORY OF THE SCHEME. | Yast Scene of Extravagance, Folly and Ruin. | | } | INGENUITY OF THE RING. ‘The Hempstead reservoir, the one stupendous job what stirs the indignation of the Brooklyn community its profoundest depths, promises to bring a consid- wabie share of trouble to its promoters, The details of 44s inception, construction and general management, as will appear in the course of this article, form the basis | of one of the complaints now in the hands of the | Attorney General, aud which is expected to be acted on before the end of the week. A visit was paid yester- day by a Herawp reporter to the reservoir at Hempstead, ‘which is about twenty-three miles from New York, and may be reached either by the Garden City or the South- side road.

Then Messrs. Kingsley and Keeney dropped their bid again to $1,187,000, which just ABSORBED THE ENTIKE AMOUNT to be appropriated by law, Prior to announeing the contract Mr. Wilham Beard, an old, competent and wealthy contractor, applied for copies of the specifica tions verbally aud by writing. He was refused them. procured a copy ‘of the specifications, and presented his bids upon them four days prior to their being letto Kingsley & Keeney. i? been a saving to the city of $456,000 and a profit to Mr. Beard of some $300,000, but it was refused by the Water Board. RIDING THEIR TIME. They had deferred putting this scheme into fruition the fall of 1871. Mr. 8. 8 Powell was inaugurated Mayor and Mr, F. A. Schroeder Comptroller January 1, 1872. The contract was made January 9, 1872. Work upon the reservoir was discontinued November 30, cember 31, 1874. The-whole of the disbursements were made during his administration in the Comptroller's ottice, QUITE A DIPFERENCE. Some of the differences in pag ard between Mr. Beard’s bid and those paid to Kingsley & Keenoy were as follows:— Kingsley William & Keeney. Beard. Excavating sand per yard. or 25 Excavating mud per yard $8 60 30 Rubble masonry per yard. 20 00 $10 00 Concrete per yard. 10 00 5 00 Piling per ton. . 100 00 35 00 Stone lining per ton. “ 8 00 3 00 Publicity of this outrage was immediately given. It ‘was the subject of inquiry, of remonstrance and pro- test by the Committee of Pilty and the Committee of One Hundred, and was denounced by the independent press, Novertholess, it went straight along, The sum of prairie land, flat and treeless, fhe reservoir on near approach gives the impression of a vast canal under- taking, begup at 4 time coeval with the pyramids and | Jeft in a stateot incompletion ever since, of dirty colored earth le around in confused heaps; rusty railroad tracks, where motionless and decay- mg stand trains of dirt wagons, give & painful impression of neglect and rai, and yet a million and a half of money have been consumed in this still unfin- ished enterprise, which, it seems, was never de- manded by the necessities of Brooklyn and was started ¢olely in the interests of an unprincipled “ring.” A more forsaken and desolate place it wou! be difficult to find mm all Long Island. It is in a wide, open plain, with here and there a sparse growth of scrub trees and patches of marsh !and, gradually slop- | lovel ing to a low line of hills, Down into this almo surface A GREAT EXCAVATION has been made extending away nearly two miles an ‘varying in width from 1,000 to 3,000 feet, From the dam to the distance of a mile the bottom is covered ‘with water to the depth of from six feetto nothing ‘The bottom slopes upward from the dam until it reache above the water mark, where the still unexcavate por tions appear as islands in the distance. The sides of the reservoir slope downward at a long and easy and in the vicinity of the dam are covered with a Sort of coarse rubble. Tho winds have free play on the waters and the result is seen in deep fissures along the Jine.of the embankments, which demonstrate as well the friable and porous nature of the soil. The appre- hension that fils one’s mind in viewing the loose knit character of the earth atoms is that the water may sink and disappear some fine day and store itself out of sight The reservoir takes in three ponds—Nichols’, Oliver's | and Demott’s—and all are fed from a little stream | called Parsonage Crock, which rises in the hills and | struggles down the valley until it is incorporated in the | reservoir. The soil of this valley is spongelike in the | of water cowid have been obtained. It was nover | his | claimed that the present reservoir would be able to de- readiness with which it yields and absorbs water. | ‘Wherever a bore is made the water bubbles up. The | dam of the reservoir is 24 feet wide at the top and 112 at | the bottom, but is still far from being*finished. The | purpose, ostensibly, of this incomplete enterprise at Hempstead was to make ita storage reservoir, capable of holding’ 1,000,000,000 gallous of water, and ample enough to meet all the exigencies of a dry summer, An engineer, who bas been over the ground repeatedly, | maintains that a scheme of such proportions wus this questionable method of placing Brooklyn beyond | the danger of a water famine, it was only necessary | wo properly dam some few well known streams whose supply of water is inexhaustible. It is held that the | waters of Parsonage Creek (\o capture which, it wouid | seem, this immense excavation was contemplated) must fiow into the Hempstead Reservoir or Smith's Pond, | because their natural channel lies in that direction. Therefore the only thing needed was to improve the thannel of the stream aud enlarge the Hempstead Res- | ervoir and Smith's Pond, which have been doing good | work for years. | After one takes a leisurely survey of the new reser- voir he cannot help thinking what A MONSTROUS IMPOSITION Mt is on the taxpayers. The embankments at the upper end look less like the work of human hands than of | fome great mountain Jood that cane down into the | valley and tore the ground recklessiy before it. The Beene is very depressing, the more so as one reflects | ‘upon the immense sums of money that are supposed | Wo have been applied to the purpose of building here a | nd and permanent basin, to which the citizens of rooklyn might ever look’ for a limitiess supply of water. Here and there along the banks of the yawn- | dng excavation are some Wweather-beaten houses Where | workmen lived, and there are some old mill buildings | within the reservoir on the unexcavated ground. On | the ‘muck” land, which the contractors pretended ‘was terribly hard to excavate, though it consisted of | only a few inches deep of sticky soll, overlying a sub- | Biratum of gravel, engine® and machinery stand all | silent and decaying. Not far off is Hempstead vilinge, | through which the stream that supplies the new reser- | voir flows. It is feeble {n volume and dirty in color, and its character is not improved by being made to curry off the wast of the village. HISTORY OF THE SCHEMR. The scheme for increasing the supply of water for | the city of Brooklyn was commenced in 1869, when William A. Fowler, Archibald M. Bliss and Thomas Kin- sella were Water Board Commissioners. A Mr. McDonald was in 1869 Superintendent of Ponds and Conduits. He | made affidavit before tue Committee of Fifty that William i Kingsley told him the previous year that a new | reservoir was to be built, that he (Kingsley) would | ave the contract and would give him (McDonald) a | ece of the work, He testified that Moses Lane would | removed as engineer and Colonel Adams appointed jm bis place. Both of those exeuts occurred. | He further swears that in 1869 water was al- | towed to + purposely, and that a brother-in-law | of Kingsiey’s told bim that he was instructed to let the water flow away and lower the ponds, because the Mayor and Cominon Council were coming out to make a0 inspection with reference to the necessity of a fur- ther supply. McDouaid related the cirenmstances of the deception, and was discharged for so doing, This exposure stopped the scheme {or another year. In 1870 Ur. E. J. Lowber became a member of the Water Board, | d the water famine scare was cecommenced. Kings: | ey & Keeney, the subsequent contractors, bad also be- | tome principal proprietors of the Brooklyn Eagle, of which Kinsella, a former Water Commissioner, was made editor. Between the would-be contractors and sheir associate editor a regular campaign was gotten up to ularm the people with reference to the scarcity of | water. Day after day inflammatory appea!s were made throogh the columns of that paper warning the peopie sgainst the extra use of water, and property owners and insurance compunies ag to the possibilities of con Sagrations. Orders were issued from the Water Board | Department like the following -— GETTING UP A SCARE.

The committee adjourned, wed te kk Kingsley ay, «OR Pe r- Great masses | | sub-committee was appot Of $77,000 was paid for surveying the ground for which’ a few hundred or a few thousand doi- | Jars, at the most, would be a liberal — price. | Several hundred thousand dollars of bonds were imm: ned and placed in the hands of the Water rd without any restrictions on them whatever. Until the law was changed by the charter of 1873 neither the Mayor nor the Comptroller was responsible for auditing the bills or paying the money. Up to the time when the law was ebanged making ‘those ofticials responsible it 18 believed that about $700,000 were paid out on this contract. j THE CONTRACT * provided that the contractors should “furnish at their own cost and expense all the necessary materials and labor to excavate and build in a good, firm und sub- | stantial manner the storage reservoir according | specitications with all its appliances aud appurte of every kind complete,” and the same was to pleted on or before November 80, 1874. | On June 17, 1875, Kingsley & Keeney sent a commu. nication to the Common Council that there was yet ces | work to be dpne within the original specifications amounting to “$268,260. In the sane communication they claim that they have been paid for work done outside of the specifications about $270,000, The contract further provided that | eighty per cent of the money due on the work | Should be paid monthly as it. progressed, and that the | remaining twenty per cent thereof should only be pad | as follows:—'Ten per cent when the contruct is cc pleted und duly certitied to, and the remaining ten pe | cent at the expiration of six months from the final ceptance of the whole werk.” ‘Tho twenty. per cent | reserved on the contract would have amounted to about $287,000, yet all but $57,000 of this money has | been paid.’ Of this, about $80,000 was paid under Mr. | Séhrocder’s -admumistration ‘as Comptroller, and | $100,000 have been paid since his —succes- for came into office It will thus ap pear that Brooklyn has expended $1,400,000 | for an increase of her water supply; that there is great | uncertainty whether the expenditure will result in any increase of wat that half a million more are asked for to complete the present designs, and that it is be- lieved an additional expenditure of $2,000,000 will be requisite to make the reservoir hold water when it is completed, It is also asserted by the most compe- tent civil engineers acquainted with the matter that by a different pian of tapping the various streams and running ap open conduit for a few miles at the foot @f ‘the hills, tor an expenditure of a few hundred thousand dollars, an inexhaustible supply liver more than 10,000,000 gallons per day for 100 days year. At this rate of supply and cost the expenditure Wili be at least ten times as rach in proportion as tho original cost waa of bringing to the city 20,000,000 gallons per day, THE PARTICULAR FRAUDS charged in this reservoir matter are summed up in the | exorbitant prices paid, in the decreased depth of the ervoir, in its extension beyond the specified limita, the allowance for extra haulage, and paying out of money before it was earned. In regard to the prices paid they fully explained above. are : | In regard to the decreased depth, the specifications | wholly extravagant, and that in place of resorting to | call for the excavating of 231 acres to a depth of | twenty-two fect. In violation of this agreement the digging bas been seattered over a larger area, nowhere | atugreater depth than nineteon feet, and some of it but a few feet in depth. In regard to the exteusion, the contract specified that no change from the specification should be made, excepting when rendered necessary by “‘cireumstances developed during the progress of the work.” It would appear that the enlarged area of tho reservoir bad been agreed upon prior to the commence. ment of the wprk ; $268,000 paid for work done outside the speciicatns is in excess of the appropriation anthorized by law, aud without authority in the con- tract. In the matter of extra haulage the contract specifles that “ior every 100 fect of haul beyond 2,000 feet three cents per cubic yard shall be paid.” ‘The reservoir is a long, natrow pond, not unlike a section of acanal. From jts centre to the’ bank on either side is for the greater part of the distance not | over 600 fect, and at the widest place not over 1,500 feet. Every foot of earth has been charged for hauling 200 feet over 2,000 feet. This charge, at six cents per yard, amounts to $101,000, The last Legislature was solicited to appropriate $500,000 to be expended on the reservoir, but there was nothing in the law compelling the contractors to guarantee the sapply of a singie gal- lon of water or do anything. It was looked upon by the citizens as such an unmitigated outrage that indig- nation meetings were held and a discussion ensued be- tween the citizens and the Water Board before a com- mittee of the Common Council. At those meetings Mr. William Burdon, President of the New York Hydraulic and Draining Company, submitted a Proposition to furnish Brooklyn any amount of water which the Common Council might at any time require for seven per cent interest upow $500,000, or fora total cost of $35,000 a year. Mr. Burdon's company agreed to superintend their line of canal, keep it free from impediments and pay all the expenses of deliver- ing the water to the present clevating works at Eust New York. It is believed that the present cost of superintendence, pumping, &c., is over $100,000 a year. The appropri- ation of $500,000 authorized by the Legislature has not yet been accepied by the Common Council. One thing which has been omitted in the foregoing is the fact of the enormous quantities of earth saia to have been excavated. No Jess a quantity than 1,635,320 cubic yards have been charged for. opinion that it will be difficult to show where more than haif this quantity of earth bas been taken from the ex- cavation. THE TAXPAYERS’ COMMITTEE TO CONFER WITH GOVERNOR TILDEN TO-DAY. ‘The prospective proceedings looking to the prosecn- tion upon civil process of certain officiais and con- | tractors of the Brooklyn ‘Ring’ was the subject of much comment in that city yesterday, though nothing definite was agcertained. The members of the Tax- payers’ Independent Association claim to have col- lected a fund amounting to about $25,000, and they contemplate enlarging that sum_ to defray the expense of the proposed prosecutions, It 1s said that must of the money has been raised among themselves, M Farrington having subscribed $1,000.

A meeting of the Intermational Free Trade Alliance was held last evening in the rooms of the society, at No, 43 Washington square, at eight o'clock P.M. The | President, Mr. Frederick H. Harrison, called the meet ing to order, and said that it was the first meeting of the Alliance, which had been formed to abolish the collection of duties on imports by the governmout. Knowing the strength of the opponcnis of free trade, he did not despise them, but hoped that the Alliance would meet them on fair grounds and with strong argn- ents, He then introduced the Seoretary, Mr. Fs who read letters from Professor Sumner, of Haven: C, R. Agnew, M. D., Parker Godwin ana others, | regretting their tbability to attend, Mr. A. i, Barle then addressed the meeting, saying that he considered this meeting for absolute frei to be the first of the kind ever held in America or Europe. Speeches were then made by Messrs, Oswald Ouendorfet, Thomas Holland, William B, Scott, R. R. Bowker aud others, The meeting then adjourned, MASONIC EXCURSION.

The heaviest depositors of the Third Avenue Savings Bank, numbering 200, beld a meeting last night in the directors’ room of the bank. George Smith acted as chairman and Mr. F. J. Maynard as secretary. The | Chairman then stated that the object of the meeting was 1 elect eight committeemen | to serve with the five elected at a@ pre- | vious meeting for tho purpose of selecting proper counsel) to represent the depositors in court. He hoped | that the Chair would be sustained, and that order would be proserved. But order was not preserved, for the depositors crowded around the table at which the Chairman and Secretary sat, each appearing to have | something to say immediately. The result was much | noise and confusion, and it'was not until Mr, Edward | Mallon was recognized by the Chair and requested to make some remarks that quiet was gained, Mr. Mallon said that Mr.- Fitch, the gentlo- | man who had offered his services as counsel for the | depositors, gratuitously, at the last meeting of the committee, was not a man tobe trusted; that Mr. Fitch | had assured him that the case would come up before a | Judge of the Supreme Court, in the city of New York, whereas he knew that it would be tried in Kingston, N.Y. Mr, Fitch had promised to have Mr, Carman | removed from the receivership inside of four days, yet | two weeks have passed without his having taken a step | nthe matter. “I could see,” continued Mr, Mallon, | “at the last meeting of the committee that there was a clique at work, and determined to | be on my guard, IT nave since learned that Mr. Fitch had told Mr. Riger, another of our | committee, that he (Mr. Riger) was the man for the | receivership. Mr. Riger replied that he was totally unfit for the position, not knowing anything about its duties; but Pitch urged him, saying, ‘I will be behind | You, ab attorney, and fix things.’ At the last meeting | of the committee a Mr. G. A. Josephs, a dealer m no- tions, in Chatham street, was decided upon as the can- didate to supersede Mr. Carman as receiver; but that | man has nota penny tn the bank. I ask you is such a man a fit one to be receiver?” At this point Mr. Jo- sephs, who was present, tried to interrupt Mr. Mallon, | but was bustled out of the room by a number of the } excited depositors. | After order was once more restored a ballot for the election of the wanting eight committeemen was taken, which resulted in the election of the following gentle- . | men:—Patrick Meteigue, of No, 400 Third avenue ; | Julius Borren, No. 4 Henry Schruitt- man, No, 413 Kast Twenty-fourth § lips,'No. 949 Third avenue; Thomas Coleman, No. 403 Twenty-fourth street tieth str William € at Forty-first | street, The®five gentlomen who were previously elected are Edward Mallon, Eugene Ward, Jacob Riger, George Smith and Thomas Rooney. ‘After the election Mr, B, A. McDonald, an expert in accounts, was granted the floor, and he made the fol- lowing spe ich was listened to with the greatest | attention by ail presen } MR. M’DO ‘An objection having been urged that lam not a de- | positor, I would state I am here representing de- positors, a fact well known to many present, I will now proceed to briefly state my conn- | ection with the movement of the depositors, At the first meeting at Hitchcock Hall, a com- | mittee of six was appointed, which, at a bubsoquent meeting was increased to eleven, At the same meet- ing Mr. Ashbel P. Fitch volunteered his services aa | counsel. On the following day I called upon’Mr, Fitch | with such documentary evidence as Thad in my posses- sion, and he then stated that he would have to havo | certified copies of the semi-annual reports of the bank. Shortly thereafter the committee met, andI | was authorized to proceed to Albany and procure tho certified copies which were duly piaced in Mr. Fitch’s hands, together with the necessary affidavits which | were drawn, but not sworn to, I then left Mr. Fitch | with the impression that proceedings would be at once | instituted. Ata called meeting of the committee at ALD'S EXPOSE, residence 1 earned, to my surprise, that no proceedings had as yet been instituted, for the reason, as assigned by him, that it would be necessary to apply for a change of venue, in order that the motion for the removal of the | geceiver should be made in the city of New York. The following day I asked the opinion of a prominent law- yer as to the necessity of a change of venue and was advised of its absurdity. I then, having my suspicious | aroused, mentioned to several prominent members of the committee my doubts as to Mr. Fitch’s integrity as to their interests, and warned them to be careful and see that be performed his duty. Facts hav- jing come to the knowledge of those gen- tlemen of a preconcerted plan on the part of Mr. Fitch to have a receryer of his own selection appointed, with whom evidently he had a perfect un- derstanding. They deemed it proper and in the interest | of the depositors to take some measures to checkmate | this movement, With that view they called upon Mr. | Carman, ascertained the utter falsity of Mr, Fitch’s statement, resigned from the committee and inaugurated the present movement, During the whole of this period I have been watchful’ for the interests confided to me and determined if I found any of the committee or the counsel derelict in the performance | of his duty that I would take every measure and every precaution to prevent the interests of the de- | posifors being sacrificed, and I“now say to you thatI willact with the present constituted commiitee, keep- ing a watchful eye upon them and sec that they | pursue the guilty ones. And when the counsel ap- pointed by cur committee appears in court I will be | behind him with the damning evidence which will con- fine the guilty ones to a felon’s cell. When Mr. McDonald finished speaking he was ap- plauded vocifereusly and shaken hands with and patted on the back ina manner which proved that his hearers were in complete sympathy with him. ‘The meeting then adjourned until to-night at No, 203 Third avenue, at eight o*elock.
