RAPID TRANSIT. ‘WHO OWNS GREENWICH STREET?—A FIGHT BE- TWEEN THE WORKMEN OF THE ELEVATED RAILROAD AND THE PACIFIC HOTEL EM- PLOYES—INTERVIEW WITH ENGINEER SHREVE, | Tho Elevated Railroad Company is not regarded in | the light of a public benefit by the storekeepers and Property owners along the lino of Greenwich street, andthe trouble yesterday morning in front of the Pacific Hotel was only the breaking out of the hostile feeling which prevails generally. A gang of workmen came there early in the morning and at once began the work of excavating the walk in frontofthe hotel. Mr, John Patten, the proprietor, ordered the men to desist, out they continued and he called on some of his employés to drive them away as they were trespassing on his private property. A slight disturbance occurred, | during which an engineer and fireman in the employ of | Mr. Patten were injured, Michael O’Brien, a porter in the hotel, was arrested for interfering with the workmen. Judge Bixby discharged him on the ground that the case was one that should be carried to wcivil court, According to the statement of Captain Saunders the police were notified of the fight by tho patrolman on post, and he turned out the men on re- | serve to preserve order. He took no side in the- mat. ter, mercly insisting on the preservation of the pe: ‘The story does not agree with Mr, Patten’s statement, who says the workmen came there accompanied by (our or tive policemen, as if.they apticipatea trouble, Mr Patten hastened to consult his counsel, and mean- time the workmen continued digging away, while a few policemen stood by to preserve order. 'y broke Vbrough the vault under the sidewaik aud were laying a brick foundation ter the heavy iron pillars when word came to quit work. n learned that an injunction haa been served on the company restrainin them trom further action, The cause of ‘the trouble 1s &s follows The company’s charter provides that a board of three Commissioners, two appointed by the Governor and ove by the Croton Aqueduct Board of the city, may de- terinine where ‘turn outs” or switches may be erected, Under this provision they settled upon erecting a “turn out” that would pass in irout of the Pacitic Hotel, and Mr. Patton resisted their eflorts tv do #0 on the ground ed the property in front of his hotel out to In his affidavit petitioning ction Mr. Patten sets forth that about 100 property owners along the line now Freenwich street opened a road tor their own convenience and for public use, Which they called Greenwich road, That road is now known as Gieen- wich street, but their right to the property has never been ceded. He pays taxes on said prope! and the | | ovly right eeded Was one of easement for a public tion thoroughiare, He further states that the constru of such a “turn ont” or switeh would result in aser ie property and dam: ion was granted yesterday afternvon ore Judge Var Sound, 2nd the question of its perpe- | jutty will be argued at a special term ot tbe Court on Monday next, H INTERVIEW WITH THE ENGINEER. | Yesterday a Heap reporter had sion to talk with Mr. & MH. Shreve, the ervil engineer who has charge of the plans tor the Gilbert ated or Rapid Transit Railway, The gentleman was found in his ottice, No. 97 Drexei Building, corner of Wall and Broad streets, aud, although’ he was necessarily much engaged, he courtcously anwswered all questions im regard to the great pubhe improvement about to be maugurated, He suid in | It is @ mistake to engaging my services that the the Gilbert say is road, and yet it mightbe an error to say it is not that company Elevated corporation, The truth is, the company is a combina- tien of two organizations, Mr. George M Pullman bem the President of one, and Mr. Foster of tho other; I cannot speak more particularly of this at | preseptas some 4 details wre being arranged | by the parties interested. The facts set forth m the HERALD are tn the mam ce tract has been signed between the Gilbert Elevated toad and the Messrs, Seilers, of Philadelphia, repre- renting the Edgemoor Iren Company, who have their works on the old Harion estate, ear Wilmington, Del. As already stated, the contract 18 specific, In 50 luras the date of completion of the road—August 1 is concerned, and, doubtiess, the firm are able to tur. pish all the material nec 'y for that purpose on or before that time, There is ample capital to periect the undertaking, and among the corporators are to bo found the names ot New York. G the route already published—that is, beginning at Bowling running through the” following sircets:—Church, Chambers, West Broadway, South Fifth avenue, West Third street and Sixth avenue to Centrai Park. Mr. Shreve then showed the writer some of the plans of the work, which, although incomplete, still bore suilicient evidence of lightuess and beanty to at- truct admiration, The pillars supporting the super. structure will combine strength with ornament, and the protecting parapets of tron render the chances of ‘cident from running off the track very slight indeed. The doubie track contemplated will be over the centre Of the streets named, the stations to be constructed at the distance of about every twenty blocks apart. Mr. Shreve stated, in conclusion, that alter ali the details were arranged, probably this week, that he would be happy to give the Henatp readers all the information 4m bis possession in regard to the great work, / BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

Babcock presided, The following resolutions were offered by Mr, Samuel B. Ruggles, from the Executive Committee, seconded by Mr. F. A. Conkling, and on motion were adopted :— Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York continues strongly to entertain the opinion, which it has repeatedly expressed in former communieations to the State Legislature, that the highest commercial interests of the State, as well ag its character and just renown, imperatively demand an amendment to the State constitution committing the sole management of the repairs and navigation of | the canals toa single superiatendent, to be appoimted by the Governor, with the assentof the Senate, The thercfore, deems the fact, now becomo Distorical, os a matter of profound con- gratulation for all our commercial bodies and classes, tor all our business men of every description and tor all the holders of real estate throughout the whole metropolis, that the State Legislavure, durin; the present session, has finally passed tor the ond time, by a vote nearly unanimous in beth hous: the necessary legislative resolution tor submitting th proposed amendment aflecting -the vital reform in our canal system and policy to the vote of the people of the State in their primary and organic capacity, to whose experience and intelligence it may well be communicated, and by whom, as soon as the Logisla- ture shail Mx the time for the election, tho Chamber contidently believe it will be adopted by av overwheltn- ing majority, | Resolved, That the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York perceive and reevgnize with the | highest satistaction the substantial accord in respect to | the canal policy of the State which now ex. ists between the two’ great, political parties which for many years held opinions so widely differing as to the propriety and the necessity of enlarging the capacity of the Eric Canal and its kindred wank lines: at the expense of the Stato, and are now so fully agreed in respect to the vital necessity of. completing withoct | delay cach enlargement by giving to the canals their Jultiegal depth of seven feet water in a channel wholly free irom obstructions, The Chamber, therefore, re- Specttully begs leave to express its full concurrence with the opinions recently communicated by the ato in his Message to the Leg) March of the urgent. importanc th of | pleting such enlargement of the Erte Canal to a depth of fect of water before the opening of tion in the present spring. ‘The Chamber 1s particularly gratified with tho portion of | the Message which expressed the opinion in which the Chamber fi the depth of seven fect, now pre . y advantageously be increased from time to time, and as the donvenicnco and exigencies of the State may permit, to seven and a j that this additional depth may a readily be obtaine or ottior structure present bottom; (hat such increased depth will greatly without altering the culverts, locks of the canal or its walls below the facilitate the movement of boats and quicken their speed and thereby ierease the amount of their ser- vice rendered in a given time and diminish every ele- ment ol the cost of transportation; that the low price of materials at present and the soanty employment of labor, and the vital interests bot andeonsumers in cheapening the cos demund attention to this subject b Legislature without delay and make the present a fit | geous time in which to the work. urge in addition the depressed condition of the eom- merce and business of the city, ant especrally the con- Ftantly inereasing dangers with which they aro menaced by the superior diligence, intelligence and ac- tivity of the governments and corporate bodies of tho boring States and of the Canadian Domnion, ing through the great improvements in their c nels of intercourse, now im rapid progress, to divert from the State even ‘the diminished commerce with tho interior which it yeu retains, Resolved, That in view of the considerations above presented, the representatives of the metropolis in the Legislature, in common with its other members, will spare no eflort and submit to no neediess delay in adopting such measures of Jegislation as the exigencies of the State now so plainly require, Resolved, That copies of these resolutions bo trans- mitted to the presiding oflicers and to each member of the Senate and Assembly. NOXIOUS ODORS ‘TRACED. Every resident of the eastern section of the city, between Houston street and Yorkville, has otven had his olfactories shocked with nauseating smells wafted | upon the east wind trom Long Island, With the pecul, | jar odor of petroleum they combined all the sickening | properties of putrescent fish and decaying flesh, forin- | ing a compound of unequalled offensiveness, They cause the strongest stomachs to retch, and to delicate children, the sick and convalescent, they are the occa- sion of indescribable suffering. It has been the popu- lar belief that this nuisance emanates from the exten- sive petroleum retner!es about Hunter's Point. dent Chandler, of ‘oard of Health, being ques- tioned on this point,ex, us that the petroleum itself, | thongh possessing an acrid and unpleasant scent, ix not nauseous, Dut that tn preparing it for domes- uc use’ it is washed with suiphuric acid | and subsequently with caustic soda or ammonia, | These produce, besides the purified oil, atarry sedi- ment Known as sludge acid, an excced'ngly disagrec- able compound. This, combined with animal refuse, ata large establishment on the East River front, in the | neighborhood of the retineries, becomes an article of | commerce wuder the name of phosphate or fertilizer, and ts ssed by farmers as manure for their crops. To tis siudge acid at the retineries and its vile products at the fertilizer manufactory President Chandler charges the intolerable smell and its sickening and deadly consequences. He says that chemistry bas means to remove the odor. Ail that ts lacked is power in our authorities to compel their use, For this a dill is now pending in the Legislature empowering boards of health to prosecute the persons wao are re- sponsible for the nuisance. HARLEM FLATS. INSPECTION OF THE PESTILENTIAL DISTRICT BY THE HEALTH BOARD YESTERDAY. Yosterday Professor Chandler, Dr. Day and the Health Inspector of the Harlem district made a tour of inspection through the region known as ‘‘the flats,’” jor the purpose of ascertaiming what could be done to improve the condition of the pestilential district. The inspection began at the corner of Ninety-eighth street | and Third avenue, and ended at the same street, at the East River, all the newly filled lots having been visited mn the meantime, At the starting point, on the west side of Third ave- nue, it was found that all the water from the shed of high ground whieh extends in a diagonal di on to Ninety-tiird street and Fourth avenne gathers hi axmall stream, whieh works its way through t Hiling of Third avenue and tinaliy linds a Jod ton the flats. The stream runs ail sucmer, being fed by the sprigs abounding on the rocks West of Third avenne, pr ordinary circumstances this water is ageable, and is conduct by a drain into the | head of the sewereon the flats which marks the line of Ninety eighth street, but when the drainage or this Jarge territory is added to the natural volumes of the Stream the dram is insufficrent and the water floods the flats and remains there iu pools, But little in Venience or nursance is exp hvod wt this season of the year from the overtlow, but itis anticipated that in the summer, when the rains | are more trequent, these pools will be a frequent source of disease, ‘The fact of water being exposed in a stag nant condition to the action of the sun, apon a cle: and solid bed, iS gu itself a source of alarm, but when stagnant water Is exposed to boil ma basin, formed of festering animal and vegetable matter the alari danger increase a huudredtold. is added the augray: water thrown upon the up into the sewers throngh the bole intenaed to of the running brook, The salt upon the foul matter mothe fats y the water of 18 ha Lon fats tho very untavorable, as 1t decomposes the phosphate in tou, and thus sulpharetted hydrogen 1s generated great quautities, It ts proposed by the Board of Health if the Board of Apportionment will furnish the requi- | site amount of tnoney to consiruct a capacious drain on which will convey ali the water from the west of Third avenue into a sewer and thus carry itom, Last year the Board of Health spent several thousand dollars on carbolic actd to distniect the flats, which they say they will be unable to do again tuis year, as their appro: priation is barely suMfment to carry the depariment through the year, ‘ OLD M'GOWAN CREEK.

This decision makes it ngces- sary for the city to Mil up tho street to the proposed lovel before it can compel the adjoining property own- ers to fill their lots If the Board of Apportionment make no allowance to the Health Board this nuisance will continue during the coming summer, and spread, as it dil last year, Yorkviite, malaria throughout Harlem an improvements will bout $15,000. be perfected, and withou will have been wasted, THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT.
