MINUTES, MEETING OF THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE - AND APPORTIONMENT, CITY OF NEW

YORK, HELD IN ROOM 16, CITY HALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1905.

The Board met in pursuance of an adjournment.

Present—George B. McClellan, Mayor; Erward M. Grout, Comptroller; Charles V. Forties, President of the Board of Aldermen; John F. Ahearn, President of the Borough of Manhattan; Martin W. Littleton, President of the Borough of Brooklyn; Louis F. Haffen, President of the Borough of The Bronx; George Cromwell, President of the Borough of Richmond.

Hon. George B. McClellan, Mayor, presided.

The Secretary presented the following report of the Chief Examiner of Accounts of Institutions, Department of Finance, relative to the requisition of the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School for an increased appropriation, which was ordered printed in the minutes:

Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller: SIR—On September 15 the Board of Estimate and Apportionment referred to your-

self a requisition of the Finance Committee of the Board of Management of the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School for Boys for the sum of $6,000 in addition to the sum of $48,000 allowed for the year of 1905.

This paper is a report on the reference of the Board of Estimate and Apportion-ment.

In October, 1902, this division made an investigation of this institution at the request of Mayor Low. Some question of our conclusions was raised by the manage-ment of the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School and we made additional investiga-tions, and so on from time to time we have kept in touch with the institution itself and the Examiners of the State Board of Charities, who in a general way, it may be stated, always held the same view as to the value of the institution's work and the desirability of its continuance that we hold.

The general result of our several investigations and reports was summed up in a final report dated March 12, 1903. We advised during all those times that no additional appropriations be made this institution except to cover the period pending an appeal to the Legislature to close it up.

So much in harmony were the views of our Examiners and those of the State Board that in the reports at that time—lest it might be assumed that we had some personal bias—we quoted from the State Board in all those statements that were made concerning the officers and the management of the institution.

A few of the reasons why we urged that the institution be closed at the earliest moment were these:

I. Lack of interest and attendance on the part of the Board of Management. At the business office in Court square the record shows that the average attendance is six. That with the exception of the President and the Secretary the chief interest of the managers of the institution is confined to irregular visits at special city offices. That the institution proper at Fifty-eighth street and Eighteenth avenue receives little or none of their attention.

II. Lack of efficiency in the executive and professional staff, the State Board's expert saying:

"The officers in immediate charge of the boys, upon whom much of the duty of training devolves, are not at all conversant with modern reformatory methods, nor fitted either by education, training or temperament to educate boys of this class."

III. Persistent and continuous violation of the laws of the State Board of Chari-ties and the Board of Health.

IV. The unsuitable buildings in which the institution is maintained. V. Inadequate class rooms. VI. No Health Inspector's certificates in the dormitories. Less than 400 cubic

feet of air space to a person. The law requires boo. There should not be more than 140 boys in a dormitory; that has 220. No compliance with the primary and vitally necessary rule in institutions of this class for sufficient and lawful space between beds.

VII. Under the law this Division would refuse to pass a bill for any institution maintained as is this, and no private institution could collect one dollar if managed tinder conditions prevailing here.

VIll. The cost per capita is about double that in private institutions. IX. The pay-rolls disclose an extraordinary number of changes in the staff. X. A list in the institution will disclose that there have been nearly 5o runaway

boys under the administration of the present Superintendent. (I am informed that this condition of affairs continues right down until to-day.) XI. An examination of the records of the institution of the boys sent out will

not disclose that any number of boys have continued in the alleged trades alleged to be taught in the institution.

XII. There will be no difficulty in demonstrating that there are purchases of goods for the institution from personal friends of the Managers.

On June 26, 1905, at your request, I made another summary report of this insti-tution, and in this report I again called your attention to the fact that the cost per capita in this institution is out of all reason, when it is known that these same boys can be maintained in other institutions for $I to per annum each, and to the striking fact that about one-half the entire appropriation of this institution is used for sala-ries.

That the large number of runaways continues, and the administration seems unable or powerless to prevent the exodus.

That the existence of the institution is an anomaly, and is the only case in which the City is compelled to maintain, contrary to the spirit of all the laws relating to the support and education of dependent and disciplinary children, a public reformatory for young boys.

That this alleged Disciplinary Training School is beyond the reach of the State Board of Charities, ignores and defies its rules, and receives no supervision what-ever from the City authorities. It is a law to itself, and because of that alone, if nothing else could be said against it, this institution should be closed up.

The last June Grand Jury of Kings County sent representatives to this Division to ascertain the grounds for our opposition to the maintenance of this institution.

I presented such facts as have accumulated in this office, and arranged to have the members of the Grand Jury visit the State School on Randall's Island. Many of the members of the jury availed themselves of the opportunity and, in company with their wives, went through the House of Refuge and made a study of that school for purposes of comparison with the Disciplinary Training School.

At a later time Mr. Robert W. Hebberd, Secretary of the State Board of Chari-ties ; Mr. H. M. Lechtrecker, Inspector of the State Board, who, after repeated examinations of the institution is thoroughly familiar with its management and plant in every detail, and myself, appeared before the Grand Jury, where the entire sub-ject was gone into at length. Their findings and recommendations concerning this institution are attached.

A summary of these will show that the Grand Jury took extraordinary pains in looking into this subject. Indeed I do not think that any preceding Grand Jury visited other institutions for the care,of children in order to make a comparison.

The Grand Jury finds that the buildings are unsuited to their purposes; should never have been put to this use. The dormitories are overcrowded. The dining-room is too small. The basement is unsuited and unsanitary. The workshops are small. The hospital facilities are in a fire-trap, and a menace to the lives of the boys.

When it is remembered that this institution is wholly unnecessary; that it is the result of freak legislation; that it is the only institution that the City is compelled to maintain mandatorily; that each and every boy in this institution could be taken in either the House of Refuge and there maintained at the expense of the State with-out any direct cost to the City whatever, and that the institution on Randall's Island is under the care of experts; or the entire number of inmates in the Disciplinary School could be placed in the Catholic Protectory, there to have the advantages of those reformatory workers who devote their whole lives to the education of boys, and, if so placed, that the cost of the maintenance of the boys would be cut 6o per cent., and that either in the Randall's Island institution or in the Protectory the educa-tional and moral advantages are incomparably superior to those of the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School, it would seem as if enough were said to cause steps to be taken to close up this institution.

Still further. the State is already committed to the erection of a model institution for this class of boys on the cottage system plan within fifty miles of New York, and that within three or four years it will doubtless be in operation.

As to Requisition of the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School for Increased Appropriation.

10406 THE CITY RECORD , SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905.

---- -- --

The conclusions are' Salaries, February I to 28 ................................. 2,o61 a6

I. The recommendation of the Grand Jury that "the population be cut down to the dormitory and dining-room capacity until the new State institution is ready, when it could be abandoned; or else it should be gradually abandoned now as the boys can be absorbed by the other institutions mentioned."

II. " Something should be clone at once." But our recommendation is that a bill be presented to the Legislature asking for the abolition of this institution. Within forty-eight hours after the passage of such a bill every child in this institution could he transferred, then the institution closed up, and the property sold or made use of for some other purpose.

III. Not one additional dollar should be given this institution. If it is running upon a scale in excess of its appropriation, enough boys should be immediately transferred to other institutions (where they would be better off), so as to bring the cost of maintaining the remaining inmates within the appropriation.

IV. That no institution should be maintained solely for the purpose of providing offices and places for individuals. The best interests of the wards of the City should be considered, and only such interests should be prevailing in matters of this kind.

V. These best interests are sacrificed when thy are used as a pretext for the maintenance of an unnecessary institution, and any disinterested friend of those boys so unfortunate as to need public discipline who will examine this whole situa-tion, will be driven irresistibly to conclude (leaving the needless expenditure for salaries of more than half of the appropriation out of the question) that the boys would receive better care and better training and therefore be better off in the other disciplinary iii ntuti~,ns. all of which have had long experience in reformatory work.

Respectfully, D. C. POTTER,

Chief Examiner of Accounts of Institutions.

Extract frnrn tire Findings if tit,, Grand Jury of Kings County, Addressed to the I'residi o- Justice of the Country Court, Concerning the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School.

"Our examination on the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School for Boys has been quite exhaustive. We visited this institution on WVednesday, the 14th inst., and were extremely pleased with the work that was being done there, and the methods employed, and we can unqualifiedly indorse the praises given this institution by former grand jurors.

"We found. however, that the buildings were unsuited to their purposes in many ways ; in fact, should never have been put to this use. The dormitories are too crowded, the dining room is too small. is in the basement half below ground and poorly lighted; the old wooden building, in which are some of the work shops, and the small hospital facilities that are required, is a fire-trap, and a menace to the lives of the boys of the institution.

"We have gone to considerable pairs to find out the remedy for these evils, and in our endeavor to do full iustice to the subiect have interviewed Comptroller Grout and Mr. Morris Adler, the President of the Board of 'Managers of the institution, and have before us in the Grand Jury room Hon. Robert J. Wilkin, Judge of Special Sessions; Dr. Potter. of the Comptroller's office; Mr. Hebbard. Secretary of the State Board of Charities ; Mr. Lechtrecker, the Inspector for the State Board of Charities, who in the cause of his duties, has examined this institution often and is versed in conditions in other places used for similar purposes. and Mr. J. P. Farrell. Superintendent of the school. We have also visited the New York Training School for Boys on Randall's Island. and find it, under the present management of Mr. J. A. Byers, fully able to take care of delinquent boys up to 16 Years of age, with a capacity for 5o per cent. more boys than its present population of 65o. It is now being run on the military plan, and its dormitories and dining rooms have more than three times the space per boy that exists at the Brooklyn institution.

"In other words, the New York Training School for Boys could take care of the population of the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School, and in our opinion the result to the boys would be advantageous.

"We find that the Brooklyn Disciplinary Training School exists through a special act of the Legislature. and is in a different position from any of the other institutions in the State in this respect. We are also informed that it takes care of only about one-third of the class of boys for which it is intended, and that the other two-thirds of this class are committed to the New York institution on Randall's Island, the Catholic Protectnrv. and the Juvenile Asylum. We are also informed that the State will have an institution within a very few Years, say five at the utmost, on a large tract of land within 5o miles of New York, which will be organized on the cottage plan, with 30 or less boys to a cottage.

"Considering all the circumstances we feel it our duty to recommend that this Brooklyn institution should he made more sanitary. the population cut down to the dormitory and dining room capacity until the new State institution is ready, when it could be abandoned; or else it should be gradually abandoned now as the boys can be absorbed by the other institutions mentioned.

"Something should he done at once, and we sincerely hope that our earnest study and investinatinn of this subiect will in some measure improve the sanitary condition under which these particular boys are detained."

OFFICE OF THE BROOKLYN DISCIPLINARY TRAINING SCHOOL FOR Boys, EIGHTEENTH AFENL'E, BETWEEN FIFTY-SIXTH AND FIFTY-EIGHT!? STREETS,

BROOKLYN, September 9, 1905. J

To the Hon. EDW. M. GROUT, Comptroller. City of Nezo York: SIR—We respectfully submit the following resolution referring to the necessity

of applying to the Honorable Board of Estimate and Apportionment for the sum of $6.000 in addition to the sum of $48000 allowed for the year 2905, or a sum amounting to $i.600 in excess of the amount allowed for the year 1904, $52.400-

Whereas, The Special Finance Committee appointed at the last meeting of the Board of Management of this institution having carefully investigated the expendi-tures submitted by the Superintendent• finds that the sum left to our credit in the Finance Department is inadequate to discharge the financial obligations of this insti-tution up to January I. Igo6;

Resolved. That the Finance Committee of the Board of Management present the inclosed detailed statement of expenditures for the first six months of the present year at the first meeting of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and respect-fully impress his Honor the Mayor and the gentlemen of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment with the importance of taking immediate action in granting us an amount of not less than $6.000 over the sum of $48.000 appropriated for the support and maintenance of this institution during the year 2905.

This extra appropriation is made necessary by the large increase in the cost of supplies, a few of which are as follows: Bread. 40 per cent.; sugar, 20 per cent.; cloth-ing material. 25 per cent., and many other items over which we have no control.

We trust the foregoing facts will be accepted and supported by the accompanying financial statement, which explains conditions in detail, and that the Honorable Board of Estimate and Apportionment will furnish the necessary amount of $6,000 herewith applied for to liquidate necessary expenditures for the balance of the year 1905.

Respectfully submitted, EPHRAIM BYK,

Chairman of Finance Committee.

The Secretary presented the following report of Chief Examiner of Accounts of Institutions, Department of Finance, relative to appropriations to be granted to various institutions for the year t906, which was ordered printed in the minutes:

October 6, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR-On January I, 1905, in all the private charitable institutions supported by the City and carried in the private charitable institutions' Budget there were inmates as follows Dependent children ........................................................ 14,351 Delinquent children ........................................................ 1,940 Infants .... .. ..... ...... ............................. 1,761 Adult inmates in reformatories (chiefly women) .............................. 690 Crippled children ........................................................... 178 Maternity cases ............................................................ 2,044 Nursingmothers ........................................................... 257 Deafand dumb ............................................................. 846

In the private hospitals: 652 medical patients, days ................................................... 250,823 831 surgical patients, days ................................................... 294,584 264 chronic patients, days ................................................... 83,834 573 consumptive patients, days ............................................... 198,989

Total population ........................................................... 24,387

Total number of hospital days ............................................... 828,230

These figures show an increase of almost one-fifth over 1904 both in the numbers of patients and inmates and in the number of hospital days' treatment.

The following statement shows the total value of the private institutions property in the city very conservatively estimated if not considerably undervalued. The state-ment of indebtedness, both real and personal, is accurate and taken from sworn state-ments. In like manner the total sums paid to the private institutions are exact and taken from our books. The total expenditures of the institutions for the year are sworn satements.

From this table it is seen that the cost of the work of the private institutions is $9,271,234.14. Of this sum there was contributed by the city $3,271,593.38. A large part of the money raised by the institutions has gone into plant and betterment, or permanent improvements; but a very large part of this nine millions of dollars has been expended for care and maintenance.

It can be said, however, that the City has paid an average cost of $134.15 per capita per annum in the private institutions although the full expense of maintaining the inmates in private institutions is perhaps double this sum.

Reasons for Increase in the Institutions Population.

In March, 1905, I called the attention of the Commissioner of Charities to the fact that the numbers in the institutions were on the increase and requested him to urge his Examiners to extra diligence. He replied in a letter stating that he had issued orders in conformity to this request.

Again in July I reminded the Commissioner of Charities that the numbers had not fallen off as we had a right to expect they would during the summer months, but, on the contrary, they were still increasing. After an investigation he replied that his Examiners were doubly diligent, but in spite of all their efforts the high numbers

remained, though those cases which were proper charges on the City only were placed on the bills.

At my request, Mr, Frederick E. Bauer, Superintendent of the Bureau of Dependent Children, of long experience in this work in the city, made a careful investigation of the causes of commitments in his bureau, and in a letter to this Department lie states:

"The general situation among the poor of the city has never been so distressing as it is to-day."

He says that in all his experience he has never seen so many deserted and home-less women with children applying for relief and asking that their children be placed in institutions.

"That the only efficient agency in the city for assisting the Department privately in keeping families together is the St. Vincent de Paul Society; that other societies once engaged in this kind of work are not as active as heretofore."

"That the freedom with which men desert their wives and children is simply astounding."

You will remember that the last Legislature made desertion a felony; and it will be possible hereafter to follow and extradite deserting husbands. The law, how-ever, is not retroactive. Serious as it is, the desertion of families is but a single phase of the whole question.

The death of one or both parents is, after all, responsible for more applications for the commitment of children in private institutions than any other cause. No less than 44 per cent. of the commitments during 1905 were for this reason alone. Sickness of parents and their inability to work was responsible for 28 per cent. of the cases for commitment. Desertion of the family by the husband, 19 per cent. ; imprisonment, 3 per cent. ; intemperance, 3 per cent. ; miscellaneous reasons, 3 per cent.

During the first six months of 1905 there were offered for commitment as public charges 4,073 children ; but of this number only 1,251 were accepted, which shows that only 31 per cent. of those proposed have been placed in the institutions.

The city is increasing enormously in population. It is largely among the immigrant population that the desertions complained of take place.

Perhaps a way could be found to return the abandoned children of these immigrant parents to the countries from whence they came; or else, receiving them. insist that the remaining parent give a full surrender of the child and so take away the expectation of receiving the child back again after it has reached the wage-earning age.

The Cost of Maintenance to the Institutions.

As has been shown by the figures above, the City does not pay the full cost of the maintenance of its Wards in private institutions. Last year and the year before there was a growing feeling that owing to the increased cost of supplies the city should make an advance in the payments to children's institutions and hospitals; but no insti-tution has requested an advance except in the case of two hospitals.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF INTEREST IN THE CHILDREN'S INSTITUTIONS' WORK.

Permanent Exhibition of Charitable Institutions and Their Work.

The permanent establishment of the exhibits of the private institutions prepared for the World's Fair at St. Louis in the Charitable Institutions Division in our offices has proved its interest and value. It is continuously visited and studied by workers in the various institutions and from outside the city.

Exhibition of Attainments by Children in Institutions.

The public exhibition of the military bands of the private institutions given in the Twelfth Regiment Armory early in the summer has resulted in stimulated interest in the institutions' work and excited a friendly rivalry among the institutions themselves. Hon. Wm. R. Stewart, formerly and for many years President of the State Board of Charities was so impressed with the value of this demonstration that he has provided prizes to be competed for at similar public exhibitions. Arrangements are now being made for illustration of the musical work done in the institutions in competitive sing-ing by classes and in calisthenics and military drills.

Development of the Cottage System

The New York Juvenile Asylum is at very great expense demonstrating in its cottage village at Dobbs' Ferry the value of the so-called cottage system by a division of the institution into small communities, each occupying its own residence under its own household head. This work is experimental and costly, and the result will be of advantage to the entire institutional system of the city and country.

Education.

The stimulus to education in the institutions arising from payments of money secured by your successful endeavors in 1903 has produced results that may be fairly described as remarkable.

This Bureau has just sent its Examiners to every institution receiving money through the Board of Estimate, and they are enthusiastic in reporting the progress and betterment. The institutions are not only stimulated by the money received to assist them in the work, but are encouraged by the interest shown in what they are trying to do.

Classification of Institutions and Inmates.

Perhaps the most striking result of the work of this Bureau during the past year has arisen from the suggestion made by you some time ago as to the necessity for a classification of the inmates in institutions. His Grace, the Archbishop of New York, has not only taken kindly to the proposition, but, after a careful study was made of the entire subject, he has ordered that the institutions themselves be classified, so that the twenty-six institutions belonging to the diocese, tinder the direction of his Grace, will be merged into an institutional whole, each one bearing a part as in the separate schools of a university.

An Institution for Defectives.

Out from this study of this subject, there arose the necessity for a provision for defective children, so that they might be separated from all the institutions and placed in one of their own. No such step in advance has been taken in the case of the dependent children in this community. His Grace has already assigned the Fran-ciscan community to take-charge of this work. and by or before January I they will be prepared to receive defectives, mental and physical, and give them the best instruc-tion and accessories for improvement available. It is the intention of his Grace to throw the institution open unreservedly to all of suital le age who need this care and protection.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

Notice Affecting Inmates of Institutions.

It is respectfully recommended that the following resolution be passed by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and printed in the Budget for 1906 as a notice to the children's institutions:

The Board of Estimate and Apportionment does not intend to permit the mainte-nance of dependent and delinquent children in one :nstittltion after December 31, i906.

To give opportunity for the necessary changes the institutions caring for both classes must separate them as soon after January I, 3906, as is possible, and on such a basis as shall meet the approval of the Comptroller.

New Institutions for 1906.

It is respectfully recommended that there be added to the Bridget:

St. Joseph's Hospital, at Far Rockaway, with an apportionment of........ $7,500 00 Arrearages........ ........................................ 2,500 00 Temporary Home for Children, Queens County ......................... 500 00 Church Charity Foundation, St. John's Hospital .......................... 3,200 00 Arrearages for 19o5, St. John's Hospital ................................ i,000 00 International Sunshine Society for the care of Blind Babies, Brooklyn.... 3,000 00 Sydenham Hospital, Manhattan ........................................ 12,500 00 Institution for Defective Children ....................................... 25,000 00

Apportionment to the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil-dren be increased $Io,000.

10408 THE CITY

During last year the amounts of money collected by this institution for board from parents for children committed to the institution is given below.

The Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has also been compelled to extend its work by the increase of court cases committed to its care. Both of these institutions, in New York and Brooklyn, provide practically a house of detention for all children awaiting trial or held as witnesses in the different boroughs.

For 1904 the New York Society collected $21,830.15. Superintendent Jenkins says that the collection for 1905 will approximate $30,000.

The Brooklyn Society for the first six months of 1905 collected $2,810.25, and it is calculated that more than $5,000 will be collected during the year.

It is recommended that the apportionment to this society be increased $4,000. It might be fair to say that the Charity Department in 19o5 has collected during

six months $14,332.25, and the Brooklyn Charity Department has collected in six months $3,463.75.

General Hospitals. St. Francis Hospital, in East One Hundred and Forty-third street, has just com-

pleted a new thoroughly fireproof and up-to-date hospital, which will he opened soon with 400 beds, and with the possibility of adding 200 as they are needed.

St. Vincent's Hospital is just completing a large wing to its charity hospital, and will he able to add 200 beds to its equipment, probably within thirty days.

The Jewish Hospital, in Brooklyn, building during the last two years, is just ready for opening and will have 200 beds.

The addition of this thousand beds to the private hospital capacity is not in-cluded in the figures given above, but will relieve the strain for general hospital accommodation.

Tuberculosis. You are aware that prior to the present year the only tuberculosis hospitals were

a shall hospital in Brooklyn, 120 beds; the Seton Hospital, in Manhattan, 208 beds, and St. Joseph's Hospital, in Manhattan, 400 beds. The total bed capacity of the three institutions is 728.

So great is the strain for increased accommodation that during 1905 the St. Vincent's Hospital annex, on Staten Island, opened a sanitarium of about too beds, which has been crowded from the beginning.

Nc..+ Charity Department Hospital. Commissioner Tully proposes to erect an institution on Staten Island of about

Soo beds, with possibilities of extension on the outside in the form of temporary structures. This would not only be advantageous to tuberculosis patients in general, but would relieve the general public and private hospitals and keep from them a class of patients that should never be received therein.

It is earnestly recommended that the plans for this new tuberculosis institution of the Charity Department be accepted, and that the work there be pushed to com-pletion as soon as possible. It may be said that the plans are admirable in their con-ception, and they are leading in their adaptability in this specialty.

The Budget, 1906

In 1905. in conformity with your instructions, this Division computed the prob-able cost of work in the institutions upon the closest and most careful estimates of the business actually in hand at the time the figures were made.

You will recall that after our figures were presented to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment we were compelled to cut the estimate over $200,000, although we notified you at that time every dollar would be required asked for in the original estimate. The result of this work done in the institutions and the growth of the City, of which we did not take as much cognizance as we should, has left us with a deficit for the present year of $325,400.

It will therefore be seen that the Budget for 1906 must provide for this sum as arrearages, and that to prevent a similar deficit in i906 the Budget must be advanced by a corresponding amount.

The total amount necessary to cover the work for all institutions for 1906 is dis-ci oseci by the 6 iii an flu g table:

RECORD D . SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905.

The increases for 1905 are figured for the last few months of the year on the business already performed during the months that have been passed, and it is certain that the money proposed will be required.

The computations for ipo6 in like manner are estimated on the work actually performed in 1905. A table of the increases of 1905 in the various institutions to be provided for under the title of " Deficiencies for 1905," is attached herewith.

Recommendation. It is respectfully recommended that the sum of $3,965,83o.44 be apportioned to

the various institutions named for 1906. This stun includes the deficiencies for 1905 and the increases for 1906.

Very respectfully submitted, D. C. POTTER,

Chief Examiner of Accounts of Institutions. Which was ordered printed in the minutes.

The Secretary presented the following communication from the Comptroller, sub-mitting reports relative to the public school system

CITY OF NEW YORK—DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE,I COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, 11

October 31, 1905. To the Honorable Board of Estimate and Apportionment:

GENTLEMEN—In view of the growing importance of the public school system, as representing the largest single share of the Budget, I have deemed it advisable to carry forward the investigations of the Finance Department into school administration. Four reports are submitted herewith. The first presents an analysis of the estimate received from the Department of Education for the year i906, along with specific recommendations pointing out such economies as are thought to be practicable and the needs which must he regarded generously. The remaining three reports connect the inquiry with the facts contained in the reports of the Investigations Division, submitted to you by me in June, 1904. Proceeding further, they undertake to subject the entire management of the elementary schools to searching, yet friendly and impartial inquiry, with the aim of producing the best educational results.

Respectfully, EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller.

REPORTS OF AN INVESTIGATION CONCERNING THE COST OF MAIN-TAINING THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, TOGETHER WITH AN ANALYSIS OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION DEPARTMENTAL ESTIMATE FOR 1906, BY THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE (INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION) SUB-MITTED TO THE BOARD OF ESTIMATE AND APPORI'[ONMENT.

ANALYSIS OF DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ESTIMATE FOR 1906.

Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller: SIR—Pursuant to your instructions, an analysis has been made of the estimate of

the Department of Education for the year 1906, and as a result of such analysis the following report is hereby submitted:

The total estimate of the Board of Education for the year Igo6, including both the General and the Special School Funds, is $25,126,040.96. This is a net increase of $3,129,023.19 over the amount appropriated for school purposes for the year 1905, and a net increase of $894,188.14 over the estimate of the Board of Education for the said year.

As the result of this examination it is recommended that $18,739,422.97 be appropri-ated for the General School Fund for 1906 and $4,630,976.49 for the Special School Fund, making a total of $23,370,399.46, which amount represents an increase of $955,554.23 in the General School Fund and $417,827.46 in the Special School Fund over the appropriations for 1905. or a total net increase in both funds of $1,373,381.69 over the 1905 appropriations. The amount here recommended to be appropriated for the General School Fund for 1906, $18,739,422.97, exceeds the product of the three mill

Increase. tax provided by law for General School Fund purposes by $t,002,984.29. The General School Fund estimate for 1906, aggregating $19,403,9 6.47, consti-

tutes the proposed expenditures for the salaries of the teaching force, including Teachers, Supervisors, Superintendents, Lecturers and all persons engaged in the work of either instruction or supervision in the public schools of the City.

The Special School Fund estimate for 1906, aggregating $5,722,074-49, constitutes $683,100 o6 the proposed expenditures for books and other school supplies, general repairs, fur-

8,957 co niture and repairs of, Janitor service, salaries of Officers and Clerks, the general 1,440 00 expense account of the Board of Education and other similar items incidental to the

I 1 oo maintenance of the school system. Moneys for the construction of new buildings 630 0o and the purchase of sites therefor are provided by the issue of Corporate Stock.

A summary of the Board of Education estimates, General and Special School $3,965,830 44 $694,237 06 ' Funds, from 1903 to 1906, inclusive, is here given, together with the amounts appro-

The Three-Mill Tax and How It Operates. The Charter provides that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment shall appro-

priate for the General School Fund an amount equal to not less than three mills on every dollar of assessed valuation of the real and personal estate 'of The City of New York liable to taxation, but this three-mill product has not been deemed sufficient for the needs of the schools during the past three years and an extra allowance above the mill product has therefore been made. This extra allowance has been as follows:

A General Fund Analysis.

It has been found impracticable to institute a detailed comparison of the amounts estimated to be required for the several purposes of the General Fund for 1906, with the estimates, and appropriations and amounts made available by transfer for the three preceding years, and with the approximate corresponding expenditures for each item for the years i9o3 and Igo, for the reasons that the appropriation for the Gen-eral School Fund is made in bulk, and that a separate accounting has not been kept of all disbursements from this fund for each of the items mentioned in the estimate. As far as such a comparison can be made with the data at hand, it is set forth in the comparative table presented herewith and marked Schedule A.

• Appropriations for General School Fund are made in bulk for these accounts consolidated t Figures in this statement represent disbursements actually made to the end of the year for which the appropriations were authorized. The balances on June 30, 1905, were: 1903 account,

$127,904.44; 1904 account, $72,754.69.

The General Fund estimate for 1906 contains 37 separate items of proposed expenditure, three of which are new, namely: Playgrounds for Mothers and Babes (Item 25)• Baths (Item 27), and Salaries of the Principals and Teachers of the Jamaica State Normal School (Ltem 39). As a basis for considering the items separately in order to get at the nature of the proposed increases of expenditure for zgo6, the following schedule, comparing the estimates for 1905 and 1906, as presented by the Board of Education is herewith presented.

REGULAR DAY SCHOOLS.

(Items I to i8, Inclusive.) The bulk of the General School Fund is for the maintenance of the regular day

schools, the proposed expenditures for this purpose during the year 1906 being `1:7,704,186.97. This amount represents an increase of $599,954.83 over the estimate for the same purpose for 1905, and of $2,4o6,064.39 over the expenditures for these schools during the year 1904 The main part of this increase is to provide for new :eachers rendered necessary by the increase in the registration of pupils in the schools. Che regular day schools include the elementary schools, the high and training schools, ind the truant schools.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

(It,'nisI,2,3,4,5 and 6.)

Salaries of Persons Now Employed- Item I in the estimate for i906, aggregating $13,344,825, is for salaries of persons

employed May 31, 1905, in the elementary schools, computed at the rates which will be operative December 31, 1905, the figures being based upon an actual name by name computation. This includes principals, assistant principals or heads of departments, class teachers, kindergarten teachers and additional teachers or clerks.

Although the expenditures proposed in this item are composed of fixed charges with increases which are mandatory, and it would therefore appear that no reductions are practicable, still the tact is, as shown in the detailed report on "Economies in the Elementary Schools," herewith submitted, that expenditures for clerical services and for salaries of principals and assistants to principals are greater than need be, and that large economies are possible in this direction through transfers as hereinafter stated.

The clerical and supervisory work in the elementary schools is on a basis which admits of large economies Prior to your inquiry into the cost of maintaining the school system, the unbusinesslike policy had prevailed of paying $1,240, $1,3220, and even $1.440 a year for purely clerical services in these schools, with the result that such service was costing more than double the amount necessary, it having been customary to till the position of additional teacher or clerk with a regular teacher at schedule rates-usually one of long experience and therefore high salaried. The Special Com-niittee on Economy, appointed by the Board of Education in January, 1904, recom-:ieiidcd that the Board of Superintendents be instructed to transfer all regular teachers engaged in clerical work to class-room positions and to fill their places with ,ihstitutes who should receive $3 a day. As a result of this policy, expenditures for clerical services in the elementary schools have been reduced nearly $ioo.000 per year, but there is still room for a further reduction. There are 318 elementary schools entitled to an extra or additional teacher who is assigned to clerical work. One hun-dred and sixty-six of these positions have already been filled with substitutes, and this reform should be carried to the full during the coming year.

The average annual salary paid to regular teachers acting as clerks is $1,204. The amount paid to a substitute teacher, at the rate of $3 per day for every day of actual service, averages 5576 per year. If the remaining 152 clerical positions in the elementar_-, schools were filled with substitute teachers at $3 per day, it would effect a saving of $95.456 per year. The experience of the past 1S months has proved that the clerical service in the elementary schools can be performed with entire satisfaction by substitutes selected from the regular list, and it is therefore recommended that the estimate u'ai er c-i ideration be reduced this amount.

Ib,ii'is Lazo Incrennc air.

It in _ i l, na:r. : agregating $1 93,427.39 as compared with $202,708.28 in t,to . is i''r lo' t <r1levIenitures for automatic Davis Law increments in the salaries 0t. persons nicntio:ed in Item I. the calculation being based upon actual name by nanie crc putation. This Davis Law increase in Teachers' salaries is mandatory, but it would ;r,car that there is an available asset of some $too,000 which should lie set over

aLi-:inst this aniount which would, in effect, decrease it to that extent. Several hundred T ehers resign every year (436 during the school year ending July 30, 1904), the to:.i -rity of whom are experienced and therefore high-salaried, their places being filled by new Teachers, a large proportion of whom are Training School graduates, at a n:°mum salary. The Special Committee appointed by the Board of Education for the purpose of reducing expenditures so as to bring them within the appropriation for 1905, in a report made on February 23, estimated that $ioo,000 would be made a\. :liable for the General School Fund during the present year by the " difference in

tries of persons who have resigned from the system since June 30, 1904, whose posi-ticorns have been filled by new Teachers." It would appear that a similar available a=;ct will exist in i906, and that the estimate for Davis Law increments for that v or might be decreased to this extent. It is therefore recommended that a deduction ,f $ioo.000 be made in this item.

To Fill I'acancies.

Item 3 of said schedule, aggregating $336,450, is to provide a fund for paying the salaric of Teachers employed to fill vacancies existing in the elementary schools at the npeni: g of the session in September, 19o5, and consequently not included in the regular elementary school schedules covered in Item i. Prior to September, 1905, such classes were in charge of substitutes.

The Igo6 estimate to provide for vacancies in the elementary schools existing at the time the estimate was prepared, is as follows:

male Principals, I year, salary ........................................ $2,750 00

i female Principal, i year, salary ...................................... 1,750 00

;o male Teachers, I year, salary ........................................ 1,005 00

3 f; female Teachers, I year, salary ...................................... 68o oo

26 assistants to Principals, I year ...................................... I,600 oo

It is to be noted that this estimate is composed of two items

For Principals and assistants to Principals ............................ $51,600 00

Igor regular Teachers .................................................. 284,850 00

A corresponding item appeared for the first time in the estimate of the Department of Education for 1905, the amount asked to fill vacancies during that year being $556,450. In explanation of these two items it is to be stated that they are the result of a mistaken measure of economy resorted to by the Board of Education in order to keep school expenditures within the appropriations made for 1904 and 1905.

Early in the year 1904, and again in April, 1905, the Board of Education began to fill vacancies as they occurred in the classrooms by the employment of substitute teachers instead of by the appointment of regular teachers. As a result of this policy, at the close of the term ending last June, there were 395 teachers receiving substitute's pay, although theoretically entitled to full compensation because they were filling regular positions in the elementary schools. By this method the difference between the substitute's pay and a regular teacher's pay was saved during the time which elapsed between the date of their employment and the end of the term, and also the two months salary which regularly appointed teachers receive during the summer vacation. The compensation for substitutes allowed by the Department of Education is at the rate of $2.50 per diem for female teachers and $3 per diem for male teachers. The average regular compensation paid at the time of entering the school system is $1,005 per annum to male teachers and $68o per annum to female teachers. The amount saved in this way during the current year since January I, 1905, probably approximates Stoo,000.

It is to be deplored that this false measure of economy should have been adopted by the Department of Education, as it has worked injury to the schools and injustice to substitute teachers who are entitled to an appointment with the yearly salary as coon as vacancies occur. It is therefore recommended that the $284,850 asked for class-room teachers in this item be granted in full. The remainder of the estimate, $51,600, which is for principals and assistants to principals should be eliminated, because there is an excess of such supervisory officers in the schools at the present time, and existing vacancies may be filled by transfer.

To Provide for the Increase in Attcndance.

hems 4 and 5 in said schedule are to provide new teachers for the estimated irncrcaee in the attendance in the elementary schools. These items aggregate 5 g3,88i.25, a decrease of $52,372.08 from the 1904 estimate for the same purpose. in calculating the probable expenditures for teachers due to increased attendance, the Board of Education makes two separate estimates, the first, Item 4, $364.400, being to provide the cost of instruction for an estimated increase of 27,000 pupils from the time when the estimate was made up to December 31, 1905. The second estimate, Item 5, $229,481.21, is to provide for an estimated increase of 28,000 pupils during the year 1906. To provide for this increase in attendance it is estimated that the following addi-tions to the teaching force will be needed:

Salary. 4 male principals, one year .............................................$2,75o 00

4 female principals, one year ............................................ 1,750 00

72 male teachers, one year .............................................. I,005 00 363 female teachers, one year ........................................... 68o 00 17 assistants to principals, one year ...................................... I,600 00 4 male principals, 9 months ............................................. 2,750 00 3 female principals, 9 months ........................................... I,750 00 26 male teachers, jo months ........................................... 1,005 00 78 male teachers, 3l' months ........................................... I,005 00 129 female teachers, Io months ......................................... 68o oo 387 female teachers, 3½ months .. ..................................... 68o 00 19 assistants to principals, 9 months ..................................... i,600 no

Although the proposed expenditures during the year 1906 for increased registration in the schools are $52,372.08 less than the proposed expenditures for the same purpose during 1905, it would appear that the 1906 estimate is larger than the increases during the current year, upon which it is based, would justify. At this writing the figures for the month of September have not yet been reported by the City Superintendent of Schools, but the registration on the first day of school indicates that the increase in registration will not be so large as was anticipated. It is exceedingly difficult to make accurate predictions concerning the probable increase in the school register from year to year, inasmuch as the percentage of increase in each September has varied since consolidation from 4.06 per cent. in 1900 to 7.20 per cent. in 1903. The facts now show that the 1905 estimate for this purpose was excessive. Concerning that estimate Super-iiitcndeiit Maxwell says in his last annual report under date of December 31, 1904:

" For the year 1905 the Board of Estimate and Apportionment has granted an amount less by over a million of dollars than was deemed necessary by the Board of Education when it prepared its Budget. In many quarters there has been very genuine fear lest the appropriation should not be sufficient to meet the expenses of next year. My own judgment is that, owing to the fact that it was not necessary to appoint as many new Teachers in September and October, 1904, as it was thought at the time the Budget was prepared in June, 1904, would be necessary, the appropriation will, with strict economy, suffice for the needs of the schools, provided the influx of new children in 1905 is not greater than it was in 1904."

Concerning the same estimate, the Committee on Finance, Board of Education, in a report submitted to that Board on February 6, 1905, presenting a proposed bill to amend the Charter so that the appropriation for the General School Fund may be based upon a per capita allowance for each pupil of the certified average attendance and the probable increase, based upon that of the preceding year, commented as fol-lows

' The rates mentioned in the bill are calculated upon actual requirements of the present year, and, if in force when the appropriation for 1905 was asked for, would have called for $433,950.27 less than the amount estimated at that time to be necessary by this Board, the excess having come from varying estimates made at the time of the increases expected to occur. On the other hand the amount would have been just sufficient to permit the unimpaired continuance of the system during the present year, as we now realize the necessities to be."

It would thus appear that the City Superintendent of Schools and the Finance Committee of the Board of Education agree that the estimate made for proposed expenditures during the year 19o5, on account of increased attendance in the schools was too large. On February 23, 1905, the Special Committee appointed by the Board of Education to report a plan for apportioning the General School Fttnd for 1905, among the various objects of expenditure recommended that, in dividing the Gen-eral School Fund, the proposed expenditures " for new Teachers in all schools and

- to include substitutes employed in place of vacancies and for promotion, be fixed at $350,000, a reduction of $413,524.66." The report was adopted, and this policy was pursued in apportioning the General School Fund for the current year, but it now appears that the reduction made was too great and, as a result, the Board of Educa-tion was compelled to save money through the questionable method of employing substitutes to fill regular positions.

Aside from the fact that the estimate for increased registration in general is too large, it contains one item of proposed expenditure which might be eliminated in its entirety by an advance in the organization of the elementary schools. It is acknowl-edged that there is an excess of Principals and heads of departments in the elementary schools of the City. As a means of reducing this excess the Board of Education has adopted the policy of consolidating two or more elementary schools existing under the same roof and putting them under a single management in order to avoid a duplica-tion of supervisory services. In making such a consolidation it usually happens that the services of one Principal and one or more assistants or Clerks can be dispensed with. During the school year ending last July six schools were consolidated, with the result that expenditures for supervisory officers and clerical assistants were reduced $II,94c per year. It is admitted that this plan renders the organization of the schools more effective, and produces more satisfactory results in every way, but it has not been put into effect as rapidly as conditions would justify, because of opposition from the Principals and Teachers concerned. If the same methods of concentration or cen-tralization which are now eliminating waste in other lines of business were applied to the organization of the elementary schools, expenditures for Principals and assistants to Principals, including Clerks, could be reduced several hundred thousand dollars a year. While, of course, it is not possible to carry this work of consolidating schools to the full at once, because the services of Principals and assistants already in the employ of the Board of Education cannot be dispensed with without adequate cause, still it is practicable to reduce the excess of such supervisory officers to the extent of thnumber of new appointees needed for such positions during the coming year.

iS will be seen from the itemized statement given above, the proposed expendi-tures for Principals and assistants to Principals to provide for increased registration in all boroughs up to December 31, 1905, and during the year 1906 aggregates $8o,187.50, which amount might be eliminated.

Itt the light of the facts here stated concerning the i906 estimate for increased registration, it is recommended that a deduction of $80,187.50 be made from this item ou the score of Principals and heads of departments, and an additional $ioo,000 on the basis of the original estimate being too large, making a total of $180,187.50.

Additional Compensation for Boys' and Mixed Classes. Item 6 is for $376.464 to provide additional compensation for female Teachers of

boys' and mixed classes in the elementary schools at the rate of $6o per annum, as per statute. The by-law of the Board of Education relating to mixed classes pro-vides that in any class presided over by a female Teacher, in which the number of boys averages 40 per cent. of the total attendance, the 'Teacher is entitled to the same extra compensation as is received by a Teacher of a class composed entirely of boys. The pay-roll for May in 1905 shows that the number of female Teachers receiving additional compensation for teaching boys' and mixed classes was 2,421 in Manhattan, 523 in The Bronx, 1,974 in Brooklyn, 582 in Queens and 204 in Richmond, making a total of 5.704. In the estimate Io per cent. is allowed for the average increase of tgo6 over May, 1905.

Since the enactment of the Davis law entitling Teachers of mixed classes to addi-tional compensation, the practice has arisen of so organizing the elementary schools as to secure this additional compensation for the largest possible number of Teachers, and thus more mixed classes existed in the schools than were necessary. Following upon the investigation of possible economies in the elementary schools last year, an effort was made by the Board of Superintendents to reorganize the schools in such a way as to dispense with unnecessary mixed classes, and the fact that the proposed expenditures for this purpose during the year 1906 are $5,o26 less than the cor-responding estimate of last year shows that something has been accomplished in the way of effecting this reform, but, as stated in full in the detailed report on the admin-istration of the elementary schools submitted herewith, the matter has not been sys-tematically pursued. It is therefore recommended that $25,000 be deducted from the estimated expenditures for additional compensation for Teachers of boys' and mixed classes in order that such expenditures may be eventually reduced to a minimum.

HIGH AND TRAINING SCHOOLS.

(Items 7, 8, 9, Io, II and 12.)

The amount asked for High and Training schools for Igo6 aggregates $I,gg6,oso.62, as against an estimate of $1,894,344.31 for the same schools for the year 1905, a net in-crease of $1o1,7o6.31.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER g, 1905. THE CITY RECORD D. 1041 I

The increase or decrease in each case is as follows:

and to provide for increased registration in both High

and Training schools, and for promotions, .. , .. , . , ... , ....... 51,408 84

The net increase in the proposed expenditures for High and Training schools dur-ing i906 is only $101,706.31, as against a proposed increase of $566,228.94 in the estimate of 1905. The smaller increase is explained by the facts that the estimate for 1905 ex-ceeded the actual needs of the schools, and that the opening of the new City College buildings has gone to attract pupils to the academic department of that institution who would otherwise have registered in the regular High schools. The actual disbursements for Secondary schools during the year ending December 31, 1904, as per the Board of Education statement, were $1,598,829.96.

Although the 1906 estimate for these schools is in all probability too large, great caution should be exercised in reducing it. as the growth of the secondary schools in this City at the present time is unprecedented. The increased registration in these schools approximated 14 per cent, during the last school year, as against 5 per cent. in the Elementary schools.

Not having as yet made a detailed investigation of the High and Training schools, with a view to determining possible economies in their administration, your examiners are unable to make definite recommendations concerning the Igo6 estimate for these schools.

THE TRUANT SCHOOLS.

cents over that of the preceding yea?, and the per capita cost of the recreation cen-tres a reduction of ,39 cents over that of the preceding year. These calculations are inaccurate, because his per capita costs for the year 1903 were based upon the total expenditures for these schools, including both the expenditures for salaries, which come from the General School Funcl. and those for supplies, which come from the Special School Fund, while his per capita costs for 1904 were based upon expenditures for salaries alone.

Although the economies in the management of the vacation schools, playgrounds and recreation centres have not been so large as Superintendent Maxwell's figures would indicate, much has been accomplished. The financial statement for the Board of Education for the year ending December 31, 1904, shows that the amount expended for the vacation schools, playgrounds and recreation centres during that year was $147,468.()7, as against an estimate of $309,079 made by the Department of Education as the amount needed for that purpose during the said year. The economies were effected for the most part by dispensing with superfluous Teachers, closing recreation centres when the attendance no longer justified their being kept open, and checking waste in the use of the various materials provided for the summer schools.

The 1906 estimate in detail is as follows: Item 23-For vacation schools ........................................ $71,314 50 Item 24-For vacation playgrounds .................................... 50,020 00 Item 25-For playgrounds for mothers and babies ...................... 2,880 00 Item 26 --For evening recreation centres ........................... . .. . . 76,356 00 Item27-For baths ................................................... 5,648 oo

Two new items appear in this estimate. Item 25 is to provide salaries for 30 kindergartners and pianists to take charge of playgrounds to be established for mothert and babies. Item 27 is to provide salaries for 8 Swimming Teachers.

Inasmuch as the 1906 estimate for these schools is conservative, and considering the facts above stated, it is recommended that no deductions be made.

GENERAL SUPERVISION.

Items 13 and 14 of said schedule are to provide money for paying the salaries of the nine teachers in the Truant schools of the City-$2,76o.75 for the school in Manhattan and $7,595.50 for the one in Brooklyn, making a total of $10,356.25. This is an increase of $453..x.3 over the estimate for 1905.

Owing to recent legislation concerning compulsory education the demands on the Truant schools have been considerably increased, and it is therefore recommended that this estimate be granted in full.

SPECIAL BRANCHES.

Items 15, 16, 17 and 1S of the 1906 estimate are to provide salaries for special teachers of music, physical training, French, German and manual traiyiinur. including drawing and constructive work, shop work, cooking and sewing in the Elementary schools. The proposed expenditures for this purpose are $052,030.44, as against an es-timate of $147,022.07 for 19cc, an increase of $5.008.,37. The expenditures for special teachers during the year ending December 31, 1904, as per Board of Education annual statement. aggregated $368,o56.17.

The estimate for special teachers for I006 is composed of four items: Item i5-For salaries of persons now employed .......................... $379,530 00 Item t6-For Davis Law increments ..................................... 4,675 44 Item I7-To fill vacancies now existing in the corps of snecial teachers..... mono oo Item 18-To provide for increased registration in the schools ............. 47,925 00

There are 296 special Teachers now employed at salaries ranging from $goo to $2,16o per year. It is proposed to employ 87 additional special Teachers at salaries ranging from $goo to $1,200 per year, and one Assistant Director at $2,500 per year to fill vacancies now existing in the corps and to provide for increased registration in the schools.

The corps of special Teachers already exceeds the needs of the schools, or would exceed then if Teachers were classified on the basis of their ability to teach all the special studies and special supervision confined to such Teachers as actually need it. Now that the course of study in the special branches has been simplified to an extent there is less need for special Teachers than before.

As the outcome of a detailed investigation of the whole problem of special super-vision in the elementary schools, the results of which were submitted by you to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in June, 1904, and a subsequent inquiry relat-ing particularly to the school year ending June, 1905, the results of whichare embodied in a report on possible economies in the elementary schools submitted herewith, it is recommended that the 1906 estimate for special Teachers be reduced $150,000.

EVENING SCHOOLS.

(Items 19, 20, 21 and 22.)

For evening schools, both elementary and high, the estimate for 1906 is $694,261 as against $667,100 for 1905. an increase of $27,161, of which $15,000 is for paying the salaries of the Teachers in the new Evening High School for Men and Women, which has just been opened in the Morris High School Building.

The expenditures for evening schools during the year ending December 31, 1904, aggregated $450,948.15, but it should be noted that during the first term of that year certain reductions were made in the number of sessions to these schools and in the salaries paid to Teachers and Principals, on account of reduced appropriations for school purposes. Both the customary length of term and the former rates of com-pensation were restored in the fall of 1904 and have since been maintained.

The estimate for evening schools in detail is as follows: Item ig-For salaries for all persons employed and to be employed in the

elementary evening schools during the present session .............. $124,690 00

Item 20-For increased attendance in the elementary evening schools... 42,469 00

Item 21-For salaries for all persons employed and to be employed in the

evening high schools during the present session .................... 207,820 00

Item 22-For increased attendance in evening high schools ............. 19.2282 00

Item Ig, which constitutes the proposed expenditures for salaries of persons now employed or to be employed during the present session in the elementary schools. represents a decrease of 70 persons as compared with the total number actually employed during the session of 1904-1905. Item 21, which constitutes the pro-posed expenditures for salaries of persons now employed or to be employed in the high schools during the present session. represents an increase of only 73 persons over the high school corps employed for the 1904-1905 session.

The evening school estimate for increased attendance for 1905 was based upon an estimated increase of 20 per cent. in Manhattan and The Bronx and Brooklyn, and of 25 per cent. in Queens and Richmond, while the estimate for 1906 is based upon an estimated increase of only Io per cent. The original estimate for this purpose. as made by District Superintendent Matthew J. Elgas, who is in charge of these schools. was upon the basis of a 20 per cent. increase, but it was reduced to so per cent. by the Board of Superintendents before it was submitted to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment. Dr. Elgas states that the actual increase in attendance in the even-ing schools during the last session approximates 17 per cent.

In the light of the facts here stated it is recommended that the Igo6 estimate for evening schools be granted in full.

VACATION SCHOOLS, PLAYGROUNDS AND RECREATION CENTRES.

Items 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 of the 1906 estimate constitute the proposed expen-ditures for vacation schools, playgrounds and recreation centres during the year Igo6. The aggregate is $208,218.5o, as against an estimate of $217,772 for the same schools

for 1905. Your 1904 inquiry concerning the cost of maintaining the school system dis-

closed the fact that extravagance and waste obtained in the management of these schools to a greater degree, possibly, than in any other division of the school system. and it has since resulted in a radical reform in the administration of these schools.

In his last annual report, City Superintendent Maxwell states that the per capita cost of the vacation schools for 1904 shows a reduction of $2.22 from the cost of the

preceding year; the per capita cost of the summer playgrounds a reduction of 73

Items 28, 29, 3o and 31 of said schedule are to provide funds fir payino the sal-aries of the Board of Superintendents, the District Superinterroenty, the Board of Examiners and for Supervisors, Directors et al. There is no material change in the proposed expenditures for general supervision in the schools, the Igo6 estimate for this purpose being $267,800, as against $206,433.33 for 1905. The actual disbursements tor general supervision in the elementary schools for the year ending December 31, 1904, as shown by the Board of Education annual statement, aggregated $271,300.97-$7,187,43 of this amount having been expended for the purpose of hiring extra Ex-an nners.

There are eight Associate Superintendents and twenty-six District Superintendents, as provided in the Charter, whose salaries aggregate $182,500. The Board of Examiners is composed of four members, who receive $5,000 each. The remaining $65,300 is for the twenty-two Directors, Supervisors and Inspectors of special branches, kinder-gartens, playgrounds, etc., whose salaries range from $2,500 to $4,000 each. All sal-aries ilicludecl in this item are fixed and regulated by the Board of Education, but they do not appear excessive when viewed in the light of the repo usil:ilities involved. It is recommended that the estimate for general superu i>i n he granted in full.

ATTENDANCE OFFICERS.

Items 32 and 33 are to provide money for paying salaries of the Attendance Officers whose work is to enforce the Compulsory Education Law. The proposed expenditures for the salaries of the present corps are $83,700. Twelve additional officers for evening school purposes and work among newsboys are proposed at an estimated cost of $12,300, making a total estimate of $96.000, as against $gi,95o for this purpose in 1905. The expenditures for Attendance Officers for the year ending December 31, 1904, as per Board of Education annual statement. aggregated $81,iou.34.

The present corps consists of 30 officers at $5,200 each, 3 officers at $1,050 each and I officer at $goo, for Manhattan and The Bronx; Ig officers at $1,200 each, 3 officers at $1,050 each and I officer at $goo, for Brooklyn; 8 officers at $1,200 each, for Queer ; 3 officers at $1,200 each, and 4 officers at $goo each. for Richmond, making a total of g. officers for the five boroughs. It is recommended that $83.700. an amount geechxaue to pay the present corps, be allowed for the year i906, no appia printio,n for adclitiIInal officers being allowed.

CORPORATE SCHOOLS.

'there are 26 corporate schools-orphan asylums and inci;1steio! scho l wiicll receive a share of the General School Fund, item 34 of the 1906 estimate, aggregating $3oo,000, being to provide money for paying salaries of Teachers in these schools. This estimate is based upon an estimated average daily attendance of 15,800 pupils in Manhattan, and 4,200 pupils in Brooklyn, at $15 per pupil, and calls for the same amount as the corresponding estimate for last year.

The expenditures for corporate schools (luring the year ending December 31, 1904, as per Board of Education animal statement, were $2 o.95o. It is reconmc'ncleez that this estimate be granted in full.

LECTURERS' FEES.

Item 35, aggregating $Si,000, is for the payment f Ice, to t,enuns to be employed to deliver lectures in th evening lecture courses which are tiaiiufaineet by the Depart-ment of Education in the several boroughs of the City. The average price paid for such service is $15 per night, and the number of lecturesproposed in igo6 is 2,500 in Manhattan, 400 in The Bronx, I,400 in Brooklyn, 500 in Queens and 200 in Richmond, making a total of 5,400 lectures.

The estimate for this purpose has been the same for several years past, no increase being asked. The expenditures for Lecturers' fees, as per Board of Education annual statement. were $63,850.56 (luring the calendar year ending December 31, 1903, but during the year ending December 31, 1904, such expenditures were decreased to $55,422.12 on account of reduced appropriations for school purposes, and it is claimed that the evening lecture \cork suffered in consequence.

It is, of course, an open question whether adult education is a legitimate item of public school expenditure, but if the evening lecture centres are to be continued the appropriation asked for this purpose should be granted in full, as the estimate does not exceed the actual needs of this division of public school work.

SUBSTITUTES.

Item 36 of the 1906 estimate is to provide for the payment of substitutes aaA per diem Teachers. The proposed expenditures for this purpose are $400,702.02 as against an estimate of $299,884.23 for 1905, an increase of $I00,817.79.

The estimate is made up as follows: The cost of regular substitutes in place of absentees from

January I to June 20, 1905. 113 school days, or $133,-783.03; the cost on the same basis for entire 193 school days of 1905 will be ............. ... ....... ........ $228,496 56

The cast of special substitutes from the Teachers' training schools, from January I to June 30, 1905, 121 school day:, or $30,062.oi; cost on same basis for entire 193 school days of 1905 will be .............................. 47,948 92

$276,445 48 Add to per cent. for average increase of 1906...........................27,644 54

Making a total of ........................................... $304,090 OS

There are at present 166 substitute Teachers employed as Clerks. This will cost for 195 school days in 1906, at $3 per diem ..................96,6i2 00

$400.702 02

The increase in the i906 estimate is mainly due to the fact that about one-half of the Clerks in the elementary schools are now paid out of this fund, whereas such service was formerly performed by Teachers on the regular salary list which is pro-vided for in Item I of the schedule.

10412 THE CITY RECORD. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905.

Inasmuch as this estimate for substitutes a,d per diem Teachers is based upon actual expenditures for substitute services from January I, 1905. to June 20, 1905, during which time more substitutes than are ordinarily needed were employed, owing to the policy already described of hiring substitutes to fill vacancies instead of em-ploying regular teachers, it would seem to be excessive, and it is therefore recom-mended that it be reduced $50,000.

JAMAICA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

Item 37 of said schedule, aggregating $52,500, is for proposed expenditures for salaries of the Principal and thirty-one Teachers of the Jamaica State Normal School, which, under the provisions of chapter 524 of the Laws of 1905, "shall be transferred and conveyed to The City of New York for the use of the said City as a training school and public school on the first day of January, 1906."

This statute also provides that the Principal, Teachers, Janitor and other employees of the said school shall be transferred from the service of the State to the service of the City in the respective positions to which they have been appointed, and shall be entitled to such compensation as is now provided, or may hereafter be provided, for similar positions in the schools of The City of New York by the law-ful authority, and that provision for the maintenance of said school and the payment of salaries shall be made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in the Budget for 1906.

The proposed expenditures for this school appear to be mandatory, and it is therefore recommended that the estimate be granted in full.

36 workshops to be opened, at $goo each .............................. 32,400 00

Extra supplies for vacation schools and playgrounds .................... 11,000 00

Estimated probable increase in attendance, old schools, 2,800 pupils, at

$1.38 per pupil .................................................... 36,640 00

Total..................................................... $261,423 50

It is proposed to open 5 new school buildings in Manhattan, 3 in The Bronx, 7 in Brooklyn. 2 in Queens and I in Richmond, having a total seating capacity for 33,350 pupils, who are to be provided with books and other school supplies, including maps. globes, records and office supplies, at an estimated cost of $4.01 per pupil. It is stated that this estimate is based upon the minimum requirements for new schools during the year igo6, and that unless the $133,733.50 asked for this purpose is allowed, it will be impossible to provide new schools with the supplies needed.

The new Stuyvesant High School is to have a manual training course, and the proposed expenditure per pupil for that school is therefore $Io, as against $6 in regular high schools. The machinery, tools and other supplies needed for manual training work involve additional expense.

The expenditures for supplies for the vacation schools and playgrounds during the current year aggregate $34,000, which amount is included in the $I,i88,000. An additional $11,000 is asked for this purpose for 1906.

It is to be noted that the smaller increase in the estimate for school supplies for igo6, as compared with that for 1905, is due largely to the far-reaching economies which have been effected in the purchase and distribution of supplies by the Board of Education since January, 1904. The revision of the course of study also tends to lessen expenditures for supplies of various kinds, particuarly the various materials used in the several lines of manual training work.

The disbursements for school supplies from the Igo4 account aggregate $I,162,-694.43, as against $1015.465.89 from the 1903 account, an increase of $147,228.54•

On account of the large number of new schools to be opened during the coming rear it is recommended that an increase of $186,423.50 over the amount available for 1905 be allowed for the year 1906, making a total appropriation of $,,374,423.5o, this amount being a reduction of $75.000 in the amount asked for by the Board of Education.

Note-In view of the establishment of a central depository for the receipt and distribution of supplies for the entire City, it is no longer practicable to maintain a separate stock for each borough. The Board of Education has therefore requested the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to make the appropriation for supplies in one fund, for uniform use throughout the City, instead of apportioning it to the several boroughs. Your examiners concur in the opinion that it is necessary and expedient, on the score of economy and efficiency of administration, to consolidate the supply accounts of the several boroughs, but it would seem that such a change can-not be made without legislation at Albany. Section io6o of the Charter specifies that "it shall be the duty of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment and of the Board of Aldermen to indicate in the Budget in raising the Special School Fund, the respective amounts thereof which shall be available for use in the several boroughs."

GENERAL REPAIRS.

(Item 2.)

The largest item under the Special School Fund estimate is to provide money for repairing school buildings, including the sanitary fixtures and the heating and electric apparatus. As there is no contingent fund to provide for accidents to 'school fittings or other emergencies all such expenditures come under this account.

The igo6 estimate for general repairs aggregates $1,185,247.74• It is made up as follows:

General repairs ........................................................ $48,531 00

Sanitary ............................................................... I14,o65 00

Heating ............................................................... 185,176 00

Electric ............................................................... 74,774 00

Salaries ............................................................... 162,701 74

Total......................................................$1,185,247 74

The proposed expenditures for salaries are to pay Inspectors of Repairs, Inspectors of Masons' Materials, Sanitary Inspectors. Heating and Ventilating Inspectors, Machinists, Architectural and Mechanical Draughtsmen, Painters, Plumbers, Car-penters, etc., of whom there are ninety-three now employed at salaries ranging from $521.67 to $2,550. The salary list for July, 1905, aggregates $142,711.48. It is proposed to increase this list $19,900.26, the increase being mainly for Inspectors of Repairs, Sanitary Inspectors. Heating and Ventilating Inspectors, Architectural Draughtsmen, Machinists, etc., in Brooklyn and Queens.

The igo6 estimate represents a decrease of $5,878.66 from the Ions estimate for the same purpose and an increase of $544,121.34 over the appropriation and amounts made available by transfer for general repairs for the same year.

The expenditures from the 1904 account for general repairs, as per Department of Finance books June 30, 19o5, aggregate $668,615.11.

Expenditures for betterments usually come out of the General Repair Fund, but during the past two years some of the betterments have been paid for by the issue of Corporate Stock. It is recommended that a deduction of $Soo,000 be made in the Igo6 estimate for general repairs, this deduction to be provided for in Corporate Stock issue, and that a further deduction of $25,000 be made on the score that the proposed expenditures for salaries of Inspectors, Draughtsmen, etc., appear to be excessive.

Item 3 of the estimate for 1906 is to provide money for the purchase of new furniture for the schools and for the repair of furniture now in use. The amount asked for this purpose is $214,158, this amount being an increase of $11,797.50 over the corresponding estimate for 1905 and an increase of $86,797.50 over the amount available for this purpose during that year.

The 1906 estimate is made up of a proposed expenditure of $200,542.50 for furniture and $13,615.50 for salaries, the latter amount being an increase of $1,825.83 over the salary list for July, 1905.

The expenditures from the 1904 account for furniture and repairs, as per Depart-ment of Finance books June 30, 1905, aggregate $125,194.35. It is recommended that $164,158 be allowed for this purpose for 1906, this amount being a deduction of $50,000 in the original estimate.

PIANOS AND REPAIRS OF.

Item 4 of the schedule is to provide for the repair of pianos now in the schools and for the purchase of new instruments. The proposed expenditures for this purpose for the year 1g06 are $28,go0, as against $14,099, which is the amount made available for that purpose during the current year, an increase of $14,801.

The estimate for 1905 for pianos and repairs of was $19,099, which amount is $9,801 less than the estimate for igo6. The 1906 estimate in detail is as follows:

Borough of Manhattan-

22 square pianos ........................................ $5,500 00

8 upright pianos ...................................... 2,000 00

Tuning, repairs, etc ..................................... I,000 no $8,500 00

Borough of The Bronx-

6 square pianos ........................................ $1,500 00

6 upright pianos ....................................... 1,500 00

Tuning, repairs, etc .................................... 500 00 3.500 00

Borough of Brooklyn-

i6 square pianos ....................................... $4.000 00

Io upright pianos ...................................... 2,500 00 Tuning, repairs, etc ................... ............... 2,000 00

Borough of 8,500 00

g Queens-

6 square pianos ....................................... $1,500 oo

i5 upright pianos ...................................... 3,750 00

Tuning, repairs, etc .................................... 65o 00 5,900 00

Borough of Richmond-

4 square pianos ........................................ $1,000 00

4 upright pianos ....................................... 1,000 00

Tuning, repairs, etc .................................... 500 00 2,500 00

Total ..................................................... $28,goo 00

As will be seen from the above, it is proposed to purchase 97 new instruments during the coming year, about one-fifth as many as there are school buildings in the entire city.

It is recommended that $18,900 be appropriated for this purpose, a deduction of $Io,000 from the estimate.

FIRE ALARM. Item 5 of this schedule, amounting to $2,500, is to provide for general repairs to the

present connections for fire alarms in the school buildings of four boroughs, no appro-priation being asked for Richmond. The estimate in detail is:

Manhattan ............................................................ $800 00

TheBronx ............................................................ 200 00

Brooklyn ............................................................. 1,000 00

Queens ............................................................... 500 00

The amount made available for fire alarms for the year 1905 was $1,300. The Department of Finance books show that $3,918.30 had been expended for fire alarms from the 1904 account on June 30 of this year.

It is recommended that the 1906 estimate for this purpose be granted in :ull.

FUEL. The amount asked for fuel for 1906 (Item 6 of the schedule) aggregates $451,863.35,

as against an estimate of $461,988 for 1905 and of $594,186.13 for 1904 for the same purpose. Notwithstanding the growth of the school system, the 1906 estimate for fuel is $60,251.35 less than the corresponding estimate for 1903.

The estimate for igo6 is for 81,720 tons of coal and 1,240 cords of wood at an aggregate cost of $451,863.35. This includes 8,,60 tons of coal and 166 cords of wood for the new schools to be opened during the year. The estimate for the several boroughs is as follows:

Manhattan ............................................................ $192,661 75

TheBronx ........................................................... 51,6oi 60

Brooklyn............................................................. 140,442 00

Queens............................................................... 46,308 00

Richmond............................................................. 20,850 00

The expenditures for fuel, as per Department of Finance books on June 30, 1905, aggregate $452,267.87 from 1903 account, and $499,253.56 from the 1904 account.

The appropriations and amounts made available for fuel in 1904 aggregate $525,-152.77 and for 1905, up to June 30, the amount made available is $453,387.

It is to be noted that the estimate for fuel for 1906 is $1,523.65 less than the amount made available for this purpose during the current year. This is to be ex-plained for the most part by the fact that large economies have been effected in the purchase, delivery and consumption of fuel in the schools of the City during the past two years by the Committee on Supplies (Board of Education), in conjunction with Mr. Patrick Jones, the Superintendent of Supplies.

It is recommended that the original estimate, $451,863.35, be granted.

RENTS.

Item 7 of said schedule is to provide money for paying rents for buildings used for school purposes during ,906. The estimate aggregates $112,539, as against a corre-sponding estimate and amount made available of $133,266 for the same purpose last year, a decrease of $20,727. The estimate is made up as follows:

Manhattan ............................................................ $49,301 00

The Bronx ............................................................ 12,650 00

Brooklyn ............................................................. 25,750 00

Queens............................................................... 12,948 00

Richmond............................................................ 3,550 00

Board of Education ................................................... 8,340 00

10414 THE CITY R E C O R D. SATURDAY, DECEMBER g, rgo5.

The expenditures for rents from the rgo4 account, as per Department of Finance looks June 3o, r9o5, aggregated $Ir7,752.67. It is recommended that the estimate be granted in frill.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Item 8 of the i906 estimate aggregating $83,500, as against an estimate of $33.750 for the year 1905, is for compulsory education. It is to provide money for the main-tenance of truants in the two truant schools under the jurisdiction of the Board of Education and in other institutions to which truants are committed because they cannot be accommodated in these schools. The estimate includes expenditures for food, clothing, bedding, medicine and physicians' fees, laundry, etc., for truants, to-gether with car-fare for Truant Officers and the cost of such printed matter as is needed by the District Superintendents in enforcing the compulsory education law.

The appropriation made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for cotn-1 ulsory education in 1905 was $25,750, which appropriation proved inadequate to meet the needs of this department of school work during the current year. A transfer of $12.000 has already been made to this account. and Superintendent Jones states that bills and requisitions are now being held awaiting another transfer of $12,000, making known liabilities at the present time for the year 1905 aggregate $49,750. As will be seen from Schedule "C" the expenditures for compulsory education from the 1904 account, as per Department of Finance hooks June 3o, 1905, aggregate $34,130.75.

The ipo6 estimate includes an item of $25,000 for the support and maintenance of the new parental school for which plans have been made, but as vet no contract let. Although expenditures for compulsory education have increased greatly during the last two rears owing to the larger responsibilities of the Board of Education under the new compulsory education law. the child labor statutes and the newsboy law, still it would appear that the estimate for this purpose for the year 1906 is excessive, and it i; the' efnrc reconmlended that a deduction of $25,000 be made, the amount allowed being $S.clo.

T e. XSPORTATIOX.

Instead of ct:ll:ldnc hrarnch schools in outlying districts, where the population does not seem to iustify such outlay, the Department of Education has adopted the policy of conveying pupils to schools already established by means of stages and trolley cars. The proposed expenditures for transportation (Item 9 of the schedule) for the year 1906 are $45.504. as against an estimate and an amount available of $30,330.85 for the year 1905, an increase of $15,173.15.

In explanation of this increase the Department of Education states that a stage ill he required for crippled children in the Borough of Manhattan, the number of

%%hich is unknown. This stage requires an additional trained man to carry the chil-~Iren. In the Borough of The Bronx the average cost per day per stage for 1905 was $4.48, while the 1906 calculations are based upon an average price of $5 per day, which is the average price of all bids received for this borough for the year 1905. In the Borough of Brooklyn there will be an increased number of pupils to be carried during 1906, and two additional stages will be required for each of the boroughs of Queens and Richmond. The expenditures for transportation during the year 1904, as per Department of Finance books June 30. 1905, aggregated $2;,54;.42.

The liabilities for transportation to June 3o, 19o5. show that the amount appro-priated for this purpose for the current year will not be sufficient, and that a transfer of $2,983.90 will have to be made to the Transportation Account to meet the estimated liabilities for the balance of the year, making the amount expended and estimated liabilities for 190; aggregate $33.3T475. In the light of these facts it is recom-mended that the appr,priatir,n for tr,un~pnrtation for the year rgo6 he fixed at $40,000, this amoi:nt bei:,z a '.tot. fl e..cnt in the original estimate.

W',1TER

The proposed u tturus ft \c:.tc r during the year 1906 (Item Io), are $500 for The Bronx, $too for Brooklyn. $1,200 for Queens and $500 for Richmond, a total of $2,400. This estimate is the same as the estimate for 1905, and the amount made available for that year. The expenditures for water from the 1904 account, as per Department of Finance hooks June 30. 1905, aggregated $1,276.89, as against an expenditure of (3.397.92 from the 1903 account for the same purpose. It is recom-mended that the estimate for 1906 be granted.

'.'\LARIES OF OFFICERS, CLERKS AND OTHER EMPLOYEES.

Item ii if the schedule is to provide money for paying the salaries of officers, perks and other employees in the different offices of the Board of Education. The

•.o mate for 1906, aggregating $353,350 is glade up as follows:

Number of Proposed Salaries Employees. Bureau. for 1906. Increase.

30 Secretary's Office ...................................... $4o,6io oo $4,550 00

88 Bureau of Supplies .................................... 96,060 00 6,350 00

58 City Superintendent's Office ............................ 68,980 00 4,740 00 4o Building Bureau ...................................... 68,750 00 3,480 00

34 Bureau of Audit and Accounts .......................... 44,020 00 3,940 00

6 Lecture Bureau ....................................... 6,330 00 600 oo

24 Clerks to District Superintendents ...................... 17,550 00 3,150 00

29 Employees in Truant Schools .......................... Tr,o5o 00 ........

309 $353,350 00 $26,810 00

The increase is mainly due to the fact that it is proposed to add thirteen addi-tional employees-four in the Secretary's office, four in the City Superintendent's Bureau, two in the Building Bureau and three in the Bureau of Audit and Accounts.

The expenditures for salaries of officers and Clerks and other employees from the 1904 account, aggregate $298,634.82. It is recommended that $333,350 be allowed for this purpose for Igo6, a deduction of $20,000 in the estimate.

NAUTICAL SCHOOL.

The i906 estimate for the support of the Nautical School (Item 12 of the sched-ule), aggregates $45,567, as against an appropriation of $52,000 for the year 1905, a decrease of $6,433. The appropriation for 1905 was an increase of $t5.72o.15 over the appropriation for the previous year, the major part of the increase being allowed for the purpose of overhauling the schoolship " St. Mary's."

The estimate in detail is as follows:

For Superintendent, Executive Officer, Instructors and Surgeon........ $9,400 00

For wages of the crew .............................................. 12,480 00 For provisions-

Officers' cabin, $2 per day ........................................ 730 00

Officers' ward-room, $I per day .................................. 1,460 00 Crew, 26 men and loo boys, at 3o cents per day.......... 3 797 00

Sundry expenses, ship chandlery .................................... 3,000 00 Summer cruise ....................................................... 3000 00 Contingencies ........... ........ . 00 00

General repairs for boat ............................................. 1,200 00

$45,567 00

It is recommended that $43,000 be appropriated for the support of the Nautical School during the year 1906.

INCIDENTAL AND GENERAL EXPENSE FUND.

Total ..................................................... $112,127 00

By analyzing the foregoing it will be found that the Printing and Supplies which includes the Manuals of the Board of Education and Superintendents, Directories and Blanks of all kinds necessary for use in the Department of Edu- cation, that it will cost ................................. $66,361 38

The estimated cost of Telephones amount to ................. 14,722 24

Showing that, of the amount asked, there will be required for Printing, Printed Supplies, Stamped Envelopes and Tele- phones alone .......................................... $81,083 62

Postage Stamps will cost .................................. 6,435 98

87,519 6o

Leaving only, to meet the other incidentals in connection with the Depart-

ment of Education ................................................ $24,607 40

It is stated that the amount asked for Igo6 is very conservative and that the amount allowed for the year 1905, namely, $75,000, will not meet the requirements of the Department of Education during the current year.

It is recommended that an appropriation of $roo,000 be made for this account for the year 1906, a reduction of $12,127 in the original estimate.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES AND APPARATI'S.

(Items r5 and 16.)

In order to take advantage of the State distribution of the Public School Library Fund, it is necessary for the City to appropriate and expend an equal sum. The estimate asked for this purpose for 1906 (Item 15) is $26,824, an increase of $5,293.85 over the estimate for 1905 and the amount appropriated for that year. The figures submitted for the rgo6 estimate represent the maximum amount which the State can allow the City tinder the statute.

As previously stated in the reports relating to the schools, submitted by you to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in 1904, the class library system now main-tained in the elementary schools of the City should be incorporated with the public libraries, in order to avoid the duplication of expense and to enhance educational results. Such a plan is now in operation in Buffalo and is practicable in this City. It is recommended that the library appropriation asked for 1906 be granted in full to the Department of Education, but with the suggestion that a plan be worked out and adopted whereby, hereafter, the funds so expended shall, in effect, be transferred to the Public Library authorities to purchase books for school use.

The proposed expenditures for 1906 for libraries and apparatus, Regents' schools (Item 16 of the schedule), amounting to $8,750, are similar in character and principle to expenditures for libraries in the elementary schools, mentioned in the preceding paragraph. Appropriations for this purpose are used to purchase books and apparatus for the high schools. It is recommended that the estimate be granted in full.

SALARIES OF JANITORS.

Item 17 of said schedule, aggregating $1,497,870.90, is to provide money for paying the salaries of Janitors in all schools. This estimate is an increase of $145,628.35 over the estimate for 1905, and of $461,711.77 over the amount made available for this purpose during that year.

The estimate is made up as follows: For day schools now in operation ..................................... $1,367,943 92 For new buildings and additions ..................................... 47,983 48 For evening schools ................................................. 37,942 50 For evening play centres, vacation schools, etc ........................ 44,001 00

Total .................................................... $1,497,870 90

The expenditures for Janitors' salaries from the 5904 account, as per Depart-ment of Finance hooks June 30, 1905, aggregated $926,582.42.

The large increase in this account over the amount made available for the current year is mainly due to the proposed change in the method of employing Janitors for the public schools. At present the Janitor of a building is allowed compensation according to the size of the building. He employs his own helpers and is directly responsible to the Committee on Care of Buildings for the keeping of the premises in proper condition. It is proposed to substitute the direct employment system under conditions which are already familiar to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, a similar proposition having been made by the Department of Education in present-ing its estimate in 1904 and again in 1905. Inasmuch as the direct employment system has been given a trial by the Board of Education and has proved to be more expensive and not so satisfactory as the plan now in operation, and, considering the fact that said Board is practically unanimous in not indorsing the proposed change, it is recom-mended that no provision be made in the rgo6 appropriation for the cost of introducing the direct-employment system into the schools.

The amount of money that will be required for the year i906 to pay the salaries of Janitors of day schools now in operation at the present rate of compensation is $1,040,-824.68. In addition to this it is estimated that $129,926.98 will be needed for Janitors in new buildings and additions, for evening schools, and for vacation schools, recreation centres and playgrounds, making a total of $1,170,751.66. It is recommended that $1,147,870.90 be granted.

LECruREs

Item r8 of the i906 estimate, amounting to $82,700, is to equip the evening lecture centres with stereopticons and other apparatus used in illustrating the lectures, to pro-vide salaries for Janitors and local Superintendents, and to pay advertising bills and rental for halls.

Item 13 of the Igo6 estimate deals with the general expense account of the Board of Education. The amount asked for this purpose is $112,127, as against $75,000, which is the amount made available for this account during the current year, an increase of $37,127. The expenditures froirt this fund for 1904, as per Department of Finance books, aggregate $97,649.97.

The proposed expenditures for 1906 are as follows: Printing, Binding and indexing Minutes of the Board of

Education and its Committees and Board of Superin- tendents .............................................. $16,81I 40

Manual and Directories for use of the Board of Education, Principals, etc.......... 3,875 00

Annual Report of the Board of Education ................... g8o 00 Special Manila Stamped Envelopes for use of Board of Health

purposes .............................................. Special Envelopes, addressed to each school .................

4,500 00 2, o0 00

Telephones ................................................ 14,722 24 Messenger Service, Telegrams, suppers, carfares, etc., etc.... 15,646 69 General Stationery and Supplies .......................... 26,443 r6 Postage Stamps ........................................... 6,435 98 Syllabi and Question Papers and other Papers for Board of

Superintendents ....................................... 2,875 o8 Stamped Envelopes for use in City Superintendent's Office 3,681 24 Proposals for Supplies, etc., etc ............................. 4,695 50 Repairs to Depositories, Salaries of Temporary Employees,

etc., etc ................................................ 8,960 71

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905. THE CITY RECORD D. 10415

The estimate for this purpose is the same as last year, no increase being asked. The appropriation for 1905 was $67,700, and it is now claimed that as a result of the reduction made the Supervisor of Lectures has been handicapped in carrying out his plans during the current year. It is recommended that $77,700 be appropriated for lectures during the coming year.

SUPPORT OF THR JAMAICA NORMAL SCHOOL.

Item 19 is for the support of the Jamaica Normal School, which is to be transferred to the City on January I, Igo6. The proposed expenditures are for books, janitor service, fuel and all other purposes exclusive of Teachers' salaries. It is recommended that this estimate be eliminated, inasmuch as the regular appropriations for such pur-poses for the school system as a whole would seem to be ample to cover the needs of this school.

AUTOMOBILES

Item 20 of the estimate for the Special School Fund is to provide money for the purchase of four automobiles, at $750 each, for the use of the Deputy Superintendents of School Buildings. While, of course, such an innovation may be desirable, it is a dangerous precedent to establish, because there is no apparent reason why Inspectors of Buildings should be provided with such means of transit any more than Inspectors of Instruction, including School Superintendents, Directors, and the whole corps of Special Supervisors, who travel about from school to school. It is therefore recom-mended that no appropriation be made for this purpose.

COST OF MAINTAINING THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM OF NEW YORK CITY.

Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR-In compliance with your instructions I have prepared the following reports in relation to the cost of maintaining the elementary schools of the City as supplemental to the reports made to you by the Investigations Division of the Department of Finance in June, 1904.

The reports of 1904 suggested economies in the administration of the elementary school system. The plan of the present inquiry has been to ascertain what progress has been made since the date of the 1904 reports in the way of effecting a more economical administration of school affairs, and where possible to suggest further economies which may be introduced without injury to the work of the schools.

A Summary of the Findings of the Reports of 1904, and Subsequent Action by the Department of Education.

The document entitled "Reports of an Investigation Concerning the Cost of Main-taining the Public School System of The City of New York, by the Department of Finance (Investigations Division)," was submitted by you to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in June, 1904. That inquiry disclosed that the course of study for the elementary schools was unduly expensive because it was overloaded; that an extravagant system of special supervision obtained in the elementary schools ; that there was waste in the management of the recreation centres, vacation schools and playgrounds; that an expensive class library system was needlessly maintained; that expenditures for printing and stationery for the Board of Education were on an extrava-gant basis; that the delays on the part of the Board of Education in improving school sites which were available and subject to its orders were adding to the burden of taxation, and that the business of purchasing supplies for the schools had been -con-ducted in a loose and extravagant manner.

It will be recalled that the immediate occasion of your investigation concerning the conduct of the schools was the public announcement by the Board of Education that, owing to alleged insufficiencies in the appropriations made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for 1904, it was decided to curtail or abandon certain special divisions of school work, the particular reference being to the evening schools, the recreation centres, vacation schools and playgrounds.

It is a matter of record that your investigation prompted the Board of Education to inquire specially into the conduct of the schools in order to determine "where and how economies might be made." The official inquiries of the School Board disclosed that waste and extravagance had obtained in the use of fuel; that the text-book list might be curtailed to advantage and expenditures in this direction thereby reduced; that a considerable reduction might be made in the cost of the vacation schools and playgrounds; that economies might be effected in the purchase and distribution of books, stationery and other school supplies; that unnecessary mixed classes were a source of needless expense ; that the clerical force in the elementary schools was on an extravagant basis, along with other findings of a similar nature.

In consequence of the investigations made by the Department of Finance, and of other inquiries apparently prompted thereby, reforms have been introduced into the school system of the City which have resulted in large economies in school expendi-ture as well as increased efficiency in school work. The course of study has been put upon a more practical basis through the elimination of extraneous and superfluous demands which made for waste of time and material, and defects in the organization of the schools have been corrected. All this has been brought about mainly through the efforts of the Board of Education to discover waste in the operation of the school system and to eliminate it in order to keep expenditures within the appropriations made for school purposes. The school system is growing so rapidly that even an increase of a million and a half dollars per year ($I,168,845.oi for 1905) in the appro-priations made for its maintenance calls for the strictest economy on the part of the

I0416 THE CITY RECORD . SATURDAY, DECEMBER g, igog.

Board of Education and great wisdom in apportioning school funds among the various divisions of school work, if the natural expansion and development of the school system, as a whole, is to be provided for and no legitimate demands denied.

After the revision of the course of study, which is the most important reform accomplished, and the curtailment of waste in the management of the summer schools and playgrounds, which was the most glaring defect disclosed during your investiga-tion, comes the reorganization of the Bureau of Supplies, which Bureau has charge of the business of purchasing books and other school supplies, including fuel. The disbursements of this Bureau from the 1904 account aggregate $1,919,631.15. In the one item of fuel alone the Committee on Supplies of the Board of Education has effected savings amounting to thousands of dollars per year. This is disclosed by the fact that, notwithstanding the growth of the school system, the proposed expenditures for fuel during the year i906, as given in the Departmental Estimate now under con-sideration, are less than the corresponding estimate for 1903 and $1,523.65 less than the amount made available for the purchase of fuel during the current year. That more economical methods obtain in the administration of this Bureau is further evi-denced in the proposed expenditures for books and other educational supplies during the year i906, this estimate being $158,493.39 less than the amount asked for the same purpose for 1904, and in the fact that disbursements from the incidental expense account of the Board of Education were reduced from $99,156.85 in 1903 to $72,163.40 in 1904. In the item of contract printing alone expenditures were reduced to $30,659.07 in 1904 as against $4,712.89 in 1903, a decrease of $15,053.82, while for non-contract printing disbursements fell from $5,4t7.93 in 1903 to $.}94.15 in 1904.

In the 1906 estimate of the Board of Education twenty-one items out of a total of fifty-eight represent a decrease below the corresponding estimate for 1905. Most of these decreased estimates constitute proposed expenditures for some phase of school work, from which unnecessary expense has been eliminated during the past two years. The economies already introduced into the elementary schools alone will aggregate at least half a million dollars yearly, if carried to the full, not to speak of savings in the secondary schools, and in the various special schools which constitute the later departures in public school work in this City.

Cost of the Public School Syst,cm for the Fear Ending Di conlb,-r 31, 1904

The entire school plant of the City, including sites and buildings, valued at $6o,000,000, having over i6,000 teachers and other employees, enrolling 625,00o pupils, called for an aggregate expenditure last year of $29,38o,152.65. In addition to the appropriations made by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, and the funds resulting from the sale of bonds, which are used for erecting school buildings and for the purchase of sites, the Department of Education has certain special or trust accounts which aggregate several hundred thousand dollars yearly. The following official statement of the Department of Education is for the calendar year ending December 31, 1904, and shows that its available resources for that period were over $40,000,000.

CHANGES IN THE COURSE OF STUDY FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS

lion. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller: SiR—Relative to economies already made through modifications in the course

r,f study for the elementary schools, and concerning the wisdom 9f further changes in that course, I beg to report as follows:

In order to inquire into the conduct of the public schools as means to judging the wisdom displayed by the Board of Education in spending the very large and grow-ing appropriations which are made for school purposes. it has been necessary for the Department of Finance to examine critically the course of study which obtains because the greater part of the school money is expended for instruction. In fact the school system is maintained for the sole purpose of teaching, so that its organiza-tion and equipment at all points are determined primarily by the educational ideas which shape the curriculum.

The course of study is the pivot about which the school system revolves. It lays out the work to be accomplished, fixes the order in which it shall be taken up, and apportions the time to be given to each branch of instruction during all terms from the kindergarten to the City College. Out of a total appropriation by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of $21,997,017.77 for school purposes during the calendar year 5905, $17,783.868.74 (the General School Fund) was for instruction alone (salaries of the teaching force), the remainder, or $4,213,149.03 (the Special School Fund) being appropriated for educational supplies of various kinds, janitors' salaries, fuel, repairs, furniture and other items incidental to the work of the schools.

The elementary (day) schools cover the eight years' work between the kinder-garten and the high school. They contain ninety-four per cent. of all the children enrolled in the regular schools and ninety per cent. of all the teachers employed, and therefore constitute the great bulk of the school system and the main source of school expenditures. Following upon the consolidation of the boroughs which now constitute the Greater City, the most important problem which the Department of Education had to face was the formulation of a course of study for these schools which would harmonize the work throughout the entire City and at the same time meet the widely divergent needs of our vast polyglot population. Owing to the magnitude and astonishing growth of its school population, and the number of pupils speaking strange tongues, the metropolis has the most complex and difficult school problem which ever confronted an .American municipality.

Under the provisions of the Charter the Board of Education has the power, upon the recommendation of the Board of Superintendents, to adopt and modify courses for all the schools. When the school interests of the Greater City had been centralized, a course of study for the elementary schools was formulated by the Board of Superintendents and adopted by the Board of Education. It took effect in the schools in September, 1903.

The new course was framed on "modern and progressive lines." It represented the so-called new education in its latest stage of development, and was the most

elaborate and ornate plan of work ever put upon any system of public schools, but, as tested by time, it was more ambitious than practical. It was hailed from near and far by a certain order of enthusiasts as a beautiful ideal in elementary education, while it raised a storm of protest from the Teachers of New York who were com-pelled to view it as something to be achieved in practice. Starting in the schools, adverse criticism of the new curriculum extended to parents and the press, and finally culminated in organized opposition which would not down until it had compelled a revision of the course. The opposition centred about the so-called "fads" and the special or extra Teachers employed to supervise them. The "fads" included drawing, construction or making, sewing, cooking, music, physical training, nature study and other lines of work which are comparatively new, the common branches being called the "essentials."

The New Course of Study as Revised.

Following upon the widespread and increasing demand for modification, the course of study was revised during the spring of 5905. Amendments to this effect were adopted by the Board of Education on June 21, to take effect in the schools the coming September. In this revision the amount of work prescribed for the several grades of the elementary schools was reduced and the course as a whole put upon a more practical working basis. It now promises to be more effective and at the same time less expensive. In education, as in other lines of business, true economy always makes for greater efficiency. In effect, science is economy, and its application to the world's business is gradually eliminating waste in all directions. The movement was certain to overtake extravagances in the educational system, and in the end it will put all school expenditures on a true basis.

The greatest source of waste in the operation of New York's school system is not the unjust prices which have sometimes been paid for supplies; the waste of materials furnished for summer schools; the excess of high salaried supervision, nor that certain expenditures are unnecessary, as already pointed out. These are indeed important matters, but they are small when compared to the prodigious waste, both of time and money, which is directly traceable to defective methods of teaching. The school buildings of this City are coming to be marvels of comfort and convenience, while the merely scholastic equipment of the teaching force is unparalleled, but the whole scheme of instruction is crude, and not well adapted to the ends in view, and this because the Superintendents who regulate it do not possess the science which would enable them to remedy its defects. Here is the fundamental cause of waste in school expenditures.

It is important for the public to recognize at this critical period in the development of popular education in the metropolis that there is, as yet, no science of education. The truth is that the vast industry of teaching children is everywhere carried on without clear and adequate knowledge of the principles which underlie and control it. The ancients worked out the science of mathematics, and the modern world has achieved astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology, but it remains for the twentieth century to formulate psychology and sociology, the twin sciences which directly pertain to and miderlie the business of education, and which alone can put it upon a sound basis. Modern science is now building skyscrapers and subways, magical electrical machines and marvellous industrial combinations, but her crowning achievement will be the edu-cation of the child.

Not until science has co-ordinated the movement of the human mind, and has determined the form and functions of society, will it be possible to make scientific judgments concerning the education which children should have in order to insure their fullest development as individuals, and their highest usefulness as members of society. Until this be done, educators will continue to drift about on an unknown sea, without adequate chart or compass to direct their course. No amount of loose talking about education, however charged with pedantry, can take the place of a determined science.

Present Educational Results Overestimated.

In the face of so much talk and argument concerning education, it is a matter of practical business to bring certain realities to the fore as the only means of checking the claims of the school superintendents who direct the educational work of the City, and thereby lessening the imposition which half-formed, and therefore questionable methods of instruction now make upon taxpayers and the general public,

While true education is of course priceless, there is need to recognize that, in very great part, the present output of the schools is perhaps the most overestimated product of the time. The plain fact is that to a great degree "going to school" has become the modern superstition; it is a wearisome routine which usurps the time and depletes the physical forces of the youth of the country with practical results which are far below the customary estimates. Too often, the traditional routine goes to destroy originality and initiative, and makes for stupidity and superficiality.

The schools are lacking owing to their failure to prepare boys and girls for the duties of life. To educate an individual is not only to give him an all-round develop-ment, but it is also to find the peculiarities of temperament and character which go to determine his vocation in life. and to train his powers to that specific end. A diploma should be a certificate of power to do the thing for which one is by nature fitted, instead of a mere smattering of book learning concerning all manner of things, soon to be forgotten. Measured by this supreme test, the schools of to-day are largely a failure.

At first glance, it might appear that these considerations are away from the prac-tical, but the very opposite is true as the first need in getting at the real state of the school system is to recognize that it is under the heel of a half-formed science. Because psychology has not been fully formulated or unified, pedagogy, which is the application of psychology to the art of teaching, is potential only rather than actual. The professional pedagogue of to-day is too much like the alchemist of ancient times who dreamed of converting baser metals into gold. Science had to verify and organize the facts of chemistry before the various chemical industries could be organized. The professors of a half-science are always extreme in the arrogance of self-assertion, and it is just because of this that fault-finding with the present methods of education should be encouraged; were true science in possession of the field it would provide its own standards of criticism. The excesses in various directions which now mark the man-agement of the schools justify the critical attitude of the officials whose duty is to stand guard at the City Treasury. When the science of education is fully worked out, that science will of itself fix accurately the limit to the demand for money.

Defects in the Course of Study.

In the reports submitted by you to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in June, 1904, the following conclusions relating to the curriculum for the elementary schools were set out.

First—That the new course of study adopted in 1903 exceeded the legitimate bounds of the elementary schools. It included instruction which properly belonged in the secondary schools, or in special schools, particularly in music, manual training and physical training.

Second—That the new course contained certain features of manual training work which should he eliminated because of their having no intrinsic value as education.

Third—That the course as a whole was too heavy, particularly in the special branches, more work being required than could possibly be done.

Fourth—That the school time was not properly apportioned among the different subjects, too much time being given to the special studies and not enough to the common branches.

Fifth—That the subject matter of the elementary course as a whole was not well organized ; this lack of proper co-ordination and correlation between the several branches of study being the chief source of its ineffectiveness.

Changes Made in the Work Prescribed in the Special Studies.

In revising the curriculum of the elementary schools, the Board of Superin. tendents treated the course in music in a radical way. Most of the technical and scientific work which had made this course so burdensome and unpopular was en-tirely eliminated. In addition, the work prescribed for the several grades was sim-plified throughout by moving the work laid out for each class one step forward into the next higher grade. This modification of the course in music constituted a much needed reform and, like most of the changes made in the special studies, was directly in line with the suggestions made by your Department.

As to manual training, your investigation pointed out that the manual and domestic arts have been introduced into the public schools of this City more rapidly than they could be co-ordinated and put upon a practical working basis, and that as a result

SATURDAY, DECEMBER g, egos. THE CITY RECORD . I0417

the teaching of these branches has been crude and unsatisfactory, and has not yielded an adequate result for the large amount of time consumed. The manual training instruction as a whole has been disorganic or out of relation, and because it failed to connect with the other work of the schools and with the home life of the children, it has lacked interest and motive.

In line with these criticisms, Dr. William H. Maxwell, City Superintendent of Schools, gave the defects above mentioned critical attention in his last annual report, issued some months later. He emphasized the need of a closer correlation between all subjects of study, and especially recommended that the constructive work be re-lated to the other branches and to the home environment. When the curriculum was revised, the course in drawing and constructive work was changed in accordance with these ideas. It was also simplified and made somewhat more practical, but the excesses in the other lines of manual training work, for the most part, remain. In-struction in sewing was eliminated from the first two years and confined to girls in all grades, but the specialized instruction in dressmaking and design now given during the seventh and eighth years was allowed to remain in the elementary course, in place of being relegated to the secondary and special schools. The course in cooking re-mains as before, but an effort is making to improve the teaching of this branch by fitting up all new kitchens for individual work so that girls may participate in the cooking lessons instead of merely looking on. This plan is more expensive, but it stands for true economy.

At the present time New York City is devoting more time and attention to manual training in the elementary schools than any other city in the country. The Depart-ment of Education has not only given drawing, construction or making, decorative design, plain sewing and dressmaking, cooking, housekeeping, laundry work and nurs-ing place in the regular elementary schools, but it has established special vacation or summer schools which give all their time to manual training (including the domestic arts) and physical culture. It has also introduced cooking and sewing into the evening schools, and established a Manual Training High School and a Girls' Technical High School, and the rising demand for special trade or industrial schools has prompted the evening trade schools which have just been opened in Brooklyn and Long Island City, and which constitute a new departure in this field.

The Department of Education can only justify its action in introducing so many different lines of manual training by putting the instruction in them upon a productive basis. This is an industrial age, and the schools are struggling to meet the needs of the people. The United States is to-day the centre of the most wonderful indus-trial development which the world has ever seen, and the public school curriculum is expanding to meet the new conditions. It is but natural that New York City should lead in the movement. All the forces of the age are centering in America and coming to a head in this City, and consequently in education, as in other lines of business, things are moving more rapidly in the metropolis than anywhere else in the world.

The Teaching of English.

The course of study in English includes reading, spelling, penmanship, composi-tion and grammar. In revising the curriculum few changes were made in this course except to simplify the work prescribed in the study of masterpieces of prose and poetry. The course in English was officially reported to be " quite 'satisfactory," not-withstanding the well known fact that the average child, on graduating from the elementary schools, can neither read ordinary matter with ease and rapidity nor write good English. Inquiry on this point covering a period of many years has convinced the writer that the majority of people never acquire sufficient skill to read a news-paper or a popular novel without undue effort; they go through life handicapped be-cause they have not mastered the chief instrument in acquiring knowledge. The blame for this fact lies at the doors of the schools. The printed page has become the main channel of intelligence; it is the leading source of information on all sub-jects, and the chief business of the common school is to teach the masses to use it. Whatever else may be 'said, learning to read and acquiring a liking for good reading remain the first essentials in elementary education.

The main reason why the children in the schools do not learn to read is because they do not have sufficient practice to acquire facility in getting thought from a printed page. Reading is only now in the way of becoming a universal achievement, and it takes an enormous deal of practice to develop skill in this new and difficult art. The child who is learning to read must read and read and continue to read, just as he learned to talk through constant talking. If success in the teaching of reading is to be achieved, reading must become an integral part of every lesson in which thought is developed, and this is true for all the forms of language work. The doctrine of correlation, or concentration, of which so much is heard, must come to be practiced as well as preached. Language training should be made the dominating feature of primary education, and all other branches of instruction should be tributary to it. Lessons about plants and animals, stories of mythology and history, poems and pictures have been introduced into the primary schools mainly to provide children with something interesting to read and write about, and, if properly used, such lessons will greatly enhance results along these two main lines.

The Schools Need the Public Libraries.

Although the children in the City schools are now provided with more reading matter than was formerly supplied, they have not enough at the present time. The greatest need of the elementary schools in this City to-day is more reading matter of the right sort. If the average child could be provided with enough good books and his interest aroused concerning their contents, he would fairly teach himself to read, with such assistance as he would naturally seek from those about him. It is a suggestive and startling fact to those engaged in the business of education that about the only children who now acquire great skill in reading are those who learn before going to school in homes supplied with an abundance of attractive reading matter.

To repeat a very important conclusion previously made in a report to you, it is not possible to supply the ordinary school room with as many books as children need, nor is it necessary to do so, as the City maintains a vast system of circulating libraries which provide children's books of the choicest kind in great abundance. The very material which the children need is already at hand, but they are not trained to use it. In place of using the splendid public libraries of the City, the Board of Education maintains an absurdly inadequate miniature plant of its own, consisting of ten thousand branches and costing approximately $5o,000 a year, about $22,000 of which comes from the State and the remainder from the municipal budget. Were the expenditures for class libraries to be cut out, reference books, of course, excepted, and the public libraries fully used, the work of the schools on the side of reading would be greatly improved.

The narrow and erroneous notion that the school is an institution complete and sufficient within itself still obtains in the Department of Education and goes to vitiate its action. The Department of Education is only one organ in the municipal system, and it must co-operate freely with other departments if duplication of expense is to be avoided and the highest practical results attained. The school has been held apart from life until its isolation has come to be its greatest defect. All educational progress lies along the line of closer co-operation between the school, the home, the library and the workshops of the world.

Spelling. Regarding the frequent complaints that children in the City schools do not learn

to spell, the conclusion is that they do not acquire skill in spelling for the same reason that they are deficient in reading, namely, a lack of practice. In the mistaken endeavor to teach so many unrelated and disconnected things, teachers become hurried and con-fused and so neglect to drill pupils in the spelling of all new words as they occur in the various lessons.

Penmanship.

It is generally recognized that the teaching of penmanship does not produce satis-factory results, no method having as yet been enforced in the schools whereby children can be trained into the habit of writing well in an easy, natural manner. Enough time and attention are given to teaching writing during the first three years to produce rcE.ults, and the children write fairly well in these grades, but after the sixth year not enough attention is given to the subject to maintain discipline, and the tendency is for children to drop into careless habits of scribbling, and they too frequently graduate from the schools without the ability to write a legible hand.

Revision of the Course in Mathematics.

In revising the course of study the Board of Superintendents simplified to an extent the work prescribed in mathematics in all grades above the third, most of the work in

algebra and geometry prescribed for the seventh year being entirely eliminated. The amount of work in arithmetic required in the several grades was reduced in order to give more time for drill, as there has been widespread complaint that children trained in the public schools do not learn to figure quickly and correctly.

While it is true that poor results are obtai',cd in the teaching of arithmetic and that the course of study in that subject needed to b2 curtailed, the School Superintend-ents have not as yet gotten at the real source of the difficulty. It lies in the fact that the arithmetic lessons do not interest the children and therefore fail to develop power and skill, interest being the key to all success in teaching.

As a whole the recitations in this branch are stupid. They consist for the most part of mechanical solutions and listless explanations of imaginary problems, having no relation to actuality. They are manufactured mainly out of mere suppositions, there being no reason for their solution, unless it be to waste the precious hours of youth. Acres are still reduced to inches, and children continue to puzzle their brains over nonsensical and useless calculations which are so far removed from practical life that they fail to arouse interest.

In contrast with this, it should be an easy matter to gather from the actual busi-ness life of the City, and the world of business in general, a sufficient number of real problems to displace the rubbish indicated. The making of practical and inter-esting number calculations, such as underlie the movement of business, would develop power, because it would give meaning to the work in the class room. The world is teeming with practical problems in arithmetic which present themselves for solution every hour in the day. If this constant stream of living matter could be let into the public schools to displace the dead-work which now oppresses children and benumbs their faculties, it would transfigure the arithmetic instruction. Nothing is so inter-esting as life, and the school should be connected with it at every possible point.

In revising the course of study it is to be regretted that the language of per-centage. which is simple and easily taught in connection with the elementary work in fractions prescribed for the 4B and $A classes, was not introduced before the $B grade. The majority of boys and girls now leave the schools without any knowl-edge of this common need of business life. Under the compulsory education law a child is entitled to leave the school when he has completed the 5A work or its equivalent.

A Step Backward in the Teaching of History.

In revising the course of study for the elementary schools a radical change was made in the plan of teaching history, The former efforts of the Board of Superin-tendents to frame a course in this subject for the elementary schools "along modern and progressive lines" resulted in failure, and they have been obliged to retreat from the advanced position which they sought to occupy.

The vast progress in historical knowledge during recent decades, and particularly in the method of handling or relating historical fact, has opened up new possibilities in the teaching of history to children. The Superintendents sought to take advan-tage of this in the course adopted in 1903, but the crude results proved that they were not equal to the problem. The history of the world can now be grasped in its unity, and the present struggle in education is to present historical events in their organic relations. Under the customary teaching, the history of the United States has been torn apart from its vital connection with that of other nations and the movement of life as a whole, and put before children as a meaningless mass of unorganized and often unimportant matter, which, because of its lack of interest, has to be mechani-cally memorized to be retained long enough to pass the conventional examination. This method, which, as experience has shown, produces neither a knowledge of his-tory nor a love for its study, is now seen to be unscientific, and when the new course of study was made out for the elementary schools the Board of Superintendents attempted to overcome its defects. English history was introduced into the seventh year, and an effort was made to give the children a general view of the history of the world in the $A grade before the detailed study of the history of the United States is taken up. The theory acted upon is a correct one, and it would have worked a much needed reform in the teaching of history in the City schools had it been skil- fully applied.

It is now recognized that by using a limited number of wisely selected and highly organized historical and biographical stories, arranged in proper sequence and aptly illustrated. it is possible to present to children during the first four or five years of school life connected pictures of those great epoch-making events which have con-stituted the successive steps in man's progress from savagery to civilization. Such a course of work is designed to lay the foundation for a more intelligent study of American history in the grammar grades.

In attempting to apply this sound and attractive theory the Board of Superin-tendents met with failure, and it is not to be wondered at. In the 1903 course of study sixty-three biographical narratives and historical events, spreading over a period of forty centuries and embracing all the countries of the world, were thrown together, without any clearly defined purpose or definite organization of matter, and unloaded upon the defenseless children of the $A grade. Work enough for five years was prescribed for five months. This ridiculous 5A course in history was so unanimously condemned that when the course of study was revised it was eliminated in its entirety and American history alone substituted in its place.

A Needed Reform.

The present method of teaching history is defective, not only because the story of our own country is taught apart from those broader relations which give it inter-est and meaning, but also because the past as a whole, in whatever aspect it may be considered, is not presented in relation to the present. The leading motive in study-ing the history of the past is to throw light upon the present, the chief value of a knowledge of the ancient and medieval worlds, and the development of modern civilization being that it helps its possessor to understand the great realities which confront him, Severed from its vital connection with the world of to-day, which is but the farther unfolding of yesterday, history becomes dead matter, too much memorizing of which produces that mental indigestion or stupidity so common among over-schooled, book-fed people.

The teaching of current events should have a large place in the public schools. If the daily movement of news were intelligently used by the teacher it would vitalize every phase of school work. The newspaper is the great educational force of the age—greater, in fact, than the school itself. It is the daily book of the people and teaching children how to use it aright should be an important feature of elementary education. The children are already reading the newspaper, and they must inevitably continue to do so more and more. It is therefore supremely important that they be intelligently guided and directed in its use. The problem of teaching children to read will never be fully solved until the public schools utilize both the public libraries and the daily newspaper.

Commercial Education.

The same forces which are adding manual and industrial training to the curriculum are compelling the public school system to branch out into so-called commercial educa-tion. Some years ago, both in Europe and America, men of affairs began to complain that the schools failed to meet the needs of this commercial age, and the complaint has now become wide-spread.

Armed with science, modern commerce has become mistress of the world and she is already laying her hands on popular education to shape it to her needs. The scepter of power has passed to the masters of commerce, and the educational system is there-fore beginning to provide special training for a business career. The colleges and universities of the country are adding a study of modern commerce in all its phases to their curriculums, and so-called commercial courses are being established in the sec-ondary schools. New York City is in line with this development. A High School of Commerce was established in Igoe, which was designated to be "the foremost institution of its kind in the United States." A magnificent new building was erected, and the school now enrolls about t,400 pupils. An elaborate course of study has since been laid out for this school, but the Board of Education seems not to be aware that it is facing an unsolved problem in the field of commercial education.

An examination of the course of study outlined for the High School of Commerce discloses its inadequacy to meet the demands of the vastly complex and highly special-ized commercial organizations which machinery, rapid transportation and electric com-munication, together with chemistry and the other physical sciences. have built up. The fact is that no scientific plan has yet been formulated for commercial education, the great difficulty in the way of such an effort being that the facts of modern commerce have not been classified. There is as yet no body of organized knowledge concerning this most complex product of all the ages. The so-called text-books on commerce are

I04 I 8 THE CITY RECORD D . SATURDAY, DECEMBER g, igo5.

hardly more than crude memoranda of undigested and unrelated facts. The history of commerce will have to be written and a scientific treatment of the subject worked out for the schools before substantial progress can be made in commercial education.

Couuucrcial Geography in the Eh,mentary Course.

The above recital of fact is necessary to throw light on the changes made in the course in geography for the elementary schools under its recent revision. This course was curtailed and readjusted all along the line, but the greatest change consisted in the elimination of the greater part of the physical geography prescribed for the seventh year, and the substitution of commercial geography in its place. A study of the indus-trial and commercial development of the leading countries of the world was introduced, special attention being given to the commerce of the United States. This is a part of the general scheme for teaching commerce in the schools. But the attempt to teach commercial geography is surrounded by the same difficulties which beset commercial education as a whole. For some years the Royal Geographical Society of England has been struggling to promote the teaching of commercial geography, but without success, owing to the want of a literature of the subject. The treatment of commerce in the geographies now in use in the elementary schools of this country is a mass of unrelated facts which cannot possibly be taught with satisfactory results, and it is therefore im-portant that the Board of Education recognize the nature of the difficulties they are seeking to overcome.

Nature Study.

A leading cause of the current agitation over what should be taught in the elementary schools is the fact that the physical sciences have been forcing their way into the curriculum. The new course of study adopted in 19o3 prescribed a study of plants, animals, metals. minerals. and familiar natural phenomena during the first five years, and simple work in elementary science, including a study of mechanical powers, gravity, heat, light, and electricity during the seventh and eighth years, work of this nature being omitted during the sixth year. The time allotted to such instruction was ninety minutes per week during the first four years, seventy-five minutes per week during the fifth year, and eighty minutes per week during the seventh and eighth years, making an average of one and one-quarter hours per week during the entire eight years of elementary- school work. When the course of study was revised the amount of work prescribed in elementary science was considerably reduced in all grades above the 3A.

This particular part of the course of study for the elementary schools has been the cause of much adverse criticism, owing to its lack of success in the schools, and a general absence of knowledge as to the real object in view in teaching nature to chil-ken. Teachers have taken up the work prescribed with so much unwillingness, and the facilities for handling it have been so inadequate, that little has been accomplished in the way of teaching elementary science. For the most part, the work in the upper grades has consisted of a mere memorizing of book stuff, rather than a direct stud}- of natural phenomena through observation and experiment; while in the lower grades the so-called nature study, where it existed at all. has been mostly a device for killing time while seeming to conform to the requirements of the Board of Superintendents.

This state of affairs is to be deplored because the observation and study of natural objects is a logical part of primary education. It trains the child to see and thereby furnishes him with something to read and write and cipher about. It puts him in direct contact with real things which he can look at, and feel, and describe, and draw and even attempt to make. The greatest defect in education at the present time is the fact that children continue to be fed on second-hand matter from books. This accounts for their failure to develop power. It is important that the intrinsic value of nature study be recognized and that everything practicable be done to further such instruction in the school. especially in this City. where children are denied the natural environment of trees and tiowrers and other objects in nature.

If all the class-rooms of the Citywere abundantly supplied with specimens of plants and animals and minerals, and if they were used for observation and study under the direction of enthusiastic Teachers skilled in handling such objects, the teaching of the three R's would be tremendously enhanced. In fact, the teaching of reading, writing and arithmetic cannot become highly effective until it is made scientific by giving children something which interests them to read and write and cipher about.

At present the schools fall short in cultivating observation. The study of environ-ment, including nature and the products of men's hands, is the pivot about which the new education revolves. and the failure to develop these central subjects and properly organize the other branches about them, so that the whole curriculum would work as a unity, is the main cause of the present dissatisfaction with the so-called " fads " in the public schools.

Just as, on the side of the child. progress in education is awaiting the develop-ment of the science of psychology, so. on the side of environment. it has awaited the development of physical science and other fields of truth. The common school curri-culom has been a natural growth. It started with the three R's only because, when the invention of the printing press gave birth to popular education, reading, writing and arithmetic stood for the entire scope of learning. \Vhen political geography and Ameri-can history were formulated, the curriculum expanded to embrace these subjects, and now that physical science has enlarged the field of knowledge and created new sub-iects of learning, these inevitably find their way into the schools. The elements of physiology and physical geography are already established in the elementary curriculum. and such simple applications of botany, zoology. mineralogy, metrology, physics and chemistry as children can comprehend are following. Modern science has transformed the world through its magical inventions and it must necessarily enter into the scheme of popular education.

The Schools Need Publicity.

Facts abound to show that the widespread publicity which has been given to school affairs during the past two years has had a profound and beneficial effect upon the schools. Many defects in the school system can only be corrected through a com-plete exposure to public view. Publicity is the corrective force of the age and it should be intelligently applied to all branches of municipal business.

The Department of Education is the largest and most expensive division in the municipal system, its appropriations for maintenance alone last year aggregating nearly one-fifth of the entire running expenses of the City, while the disbursements for the purchase of school sites and the erection of new school houses has increased that amount by several million dollars more. The school system has become so gigantic, and the demands of the Board of Education for money so enormous. that it is no longer possible to keep school affairs veiled in secrecy. and, besides• it is contrary to good public policy to attempt to do so. The experience of the Board of Education, since the new course of study was adopted in 1903, clearly shows that it is not possi-ble to free the schools from the weight of the past and carry education into the new fields which are now opening before it without instructing public opinion and thereby enlisting the sympathy of the people. Happily, the notion that the school system can be separated from the general movement of the municipality, and a sacred circle drawn about it to protect it from legitimate inquiry and criticism. has been proved to be false. Scientific inquiry from an independent source is vital to the welfare of the schools. The school system of this City is moving out into so many new fields of ex-periment, involving such enormous expenditures of money that unless unprejudiced criticism can be used to temper the feverish enthusiasm which has come to dominate school affairs and thereby check extravagance and waste, the demand for money threatens to outrun all limits. Moreover, there is danger that the essentials in educa-tion may be neglected. The scheme of education has become so elaborate and so much looseness has come in that it is quite as easy to devise ways and means of spending a hundred millions annually on the schools as to spend thirty millions, unless some guiding principles can be found which will determine the limits of the system and fix its legitimate expenditures.

Conclusions.

To summarize the conclusions of this report, it appears that: I. The methods of instruction as a whole which now obtain in the schools make

for waste of time and material because they are largely tentative or experimental, the science of education not having been fully determined and formulated as yet. This waste is naturally greater in the special studies and other later developments in school work.

2. Owing to the lack of a true science of education it proved difficult to determine the proper limits of a course of study for the elementary schools. The course framed by the Beard of S+ perintendent, in toot exceeded the true scope of elementary education and prcrcr:hc,l in~tru~ti hi'li !.g1om;,d in the we0ild,u} schools or in special schools.

3. That course has now been curtailed to an extent which makes it better adapted to the needs of the elementary schools, and it should therefore be possible to achieve more satisfactory results during the coming year. The changes made in the curriculum should go to lessen expenditures for books and other school supplies and to check somewhat the demand for teachers' and school accommodations.

4. The results attained in the teaching of reading, arithmetic, history and geog-raphy continue to be unsatisfactory, though the outcome is better than in the special studies. The failure to develop skill in reading is due primarily to the lack of sufficient practice, the need being to provide a greater supply of reading matter and to devote more time and care to the teaching of this subject. 'l'he greater supply of reading mat-ter can be provided, and a duplication of expense avoided, through direct co-operation with the City's library system.

5. It is found that the failure to develop skill in arithmetic is due primarily to the uninteresting character of the problems given rather than to overloading the course of study or to a lack of time given to this subject.

6. In revising the course in history a backward step was taken owing to the unsuccessful attempt of the Board of Superintendents to apply a sound and progressive theory. There is need of a radical reform in the teaching of history in the City schools.

7. In revising the curriculum commercial geography has been made prominent in the elementary course. There is need to recognize that the attempt to teach this subject is beset with peculiar difficulties owing to the absence of a scientific treatment of com-merce in the text-books of the day.

8. The elements of the physical sciences, tinder the name of Nature Study, have been forcing their way into the elementary schools. There is a growing conviction that the value of such instruction, when given with proper materials and skill, should be recognized.

9. The facts are cumulative that the schools have derived benefit through the pub-licity which has been thrown upon them during the past two years. Because of it, the course of study has been revised, not to speak of other good results in the line of various economies.

ECONOMIES IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.

Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller: SIR—Relative to economies which have been introduced into the elementary schools

of the City by the Department of Education since the reports of the Department of Finance, urging the necessity of the same, were issued in June, 1904, and concerning the possibility of further economies in the administration of these schools, I beg to report as follows:

Before proceeding to an analysis of the economies already made or under way. and concerning those which are still possible, it appears necessary to outline in brief the organization of the elementary schools as a basis for the proposed analysis.

The public school system of The City of New York, as administered by the Department of Education, consists of the following branches:

I. Elementary Schools. 2. Secondary or High Schools. 3. Special Schools: (a) Evening Schools (Elementary and High). (b) Vacation Schools. (c) Vacation Playgrounds. (d) Evening Recreation Centres. (e) Truant Schools. (f) Training Schools. (g) Nautical Schools. (h) Evening Lecture Centres. Note—In addition to the public schools administered by the Department of Educa-

tion there are 26 corporate schools, including industrial schools and orphan asylums, which share in the General School Fund.

Exclusive of the evening schoo!s, the vacation schools and playgrounds, the recrea-tion centres and the lecture centres, which are not included in the official statistics of the school system proper, compiled by the Department of Education, the whole number of schools tinder the jurisdiction of the Board of Education at the close of the school year ending July 31, 1904, was 5oi. They were distributed and classified as follows

The total number of pupils enrolled in these schools during the year ending July 31, 1904, was 622,201, this number being an increase of 46,633 over the enrollment of the previous year. The average daily attendance was 466,571. The teaching force, exclusive of special Teachers, Directors and Superintendents, was 12,958.

Organization of the Elementary Schools. As appears in the above table, the elementary day schools constitute the greater

part of the public school system. The average daily attendance in these schools for the school year ending July 31, 1904, was 448,950. The average number of pupils on register in these schools for the same year was 510,560, this number being an increase of 43,830 over the average register for the preceding year.

An elementary school is divided into classes, the number of classes in such schools ranging from I to 87. Technically a class is understood to mean the number of pupils placed under the care of one Teacher, regardless of whether they are all in the same grade or not. The average number of pupils to a Teacher in the elementary schools, based on the average register, during the year ending July 31, 1904, was 46.

For purposes of organization and supervision, the elementary schools of the City are divided into five orders, as follows:

First Order—Schools having 48 or more classes. Second Order—Schools having from 28 to 47 classes. Third Order—Schools having from 12 to 27 classes. Fourth Order—Schools having from 6 to It classes. Fifth Order—Schools having les'. than 6 classes. The number of Teachers assigned to an elementary school is the same as the

number of classes, except in schools of the First, Second and Third Orders, an addi-tional Teacher being appointed to such schools whose duty it is to perform such clerical work as the Principal shall determine, and to teach a class in the absence of a class Teacher if a substitute is not called in.

In addition to class-room Teachers and so-called additional Teachers, each ele-mentary school has a Principal in charge. In schools of the First, Second and Third Orders the Principal is not required to teach a class. In schools of the Fourth Order the Principal may be required, at the discretion of the Board of Superintendents, to teach a elms. Schools of the Fifth Order are under the administration of a class Teacher, who is designated as the se tour Te rher of the school.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, r9o5. THE CITY RECORD. 10419

In schools of the First Order Principals may have two Assistants, and in schools of the Second Order one Assistant, who shall perform such supervisory teaching and clerical work as the Principal may direct. In schools of over 67 classes the Principal may have a third Assistant. Assistants to Principals are called heads of departments.

Over and above Principals and heads of departments, each of whom is assigned to one particular school, the elementary schools of the City have a corps of general supervisors, including Teachers of special branches, Directors and Assistant Directors of special branches, District Superintendents, Associate Superintendents and the City Superintendent. A Special Teacher has charge of the instruction in one special branch of study in a group of schools varying in number according to the size of the schools. A Director or Assistant Director of a special branch has the general supervision of that branch in one or more boroughs. A District Superintendent is directly respon-sible for all the schools in two of the forty-six local districts into which the City is divided for school purposes. The Associate Superintendents, together with the City Superintendent, constitute the Board of Superintendents, which has the general direc-tion of the educational work of the school system as a whole, subject to the approval of the Board of Education.

E.rpcnditures for Teaching Force.

The entire teaching force in the elementary schools during the school year ending July 31, 1904, was constituted as follows: Teachers, including Kindergartners and Clerical Assistants ................ 11,400 Principals and heads of departments ...................................... 685 Special Teachers ... ... ... .. .. .......................... 319 Directors and Assistant Directors of special branches ........................ 55 District Superintendents ................................................... 26 Associate Superintendents ................................................. 8 City Superintendent ...........................................I........... I

The proposed expenditures for salaries for the teaching force in the elementary schools of the City for the year 1905, as given in the estimate of the Department of Education submitted to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment September 22, 1904, were as follows:

Elementary Schools

r. For salaries of all persons now employed in elementary schools, corn puted at the rates which will be operative December 31, 1904 (figures based upon actual name by name computation)...... $12,836,187 00

2. For annual automatic Davis Law increments for persons mentioned in paragraph i (figures based upon actual name by name computation) ................................................... 202.708 28

3. To fill vacancies existing in elementary schools at the time of preparation of this estimate; persons commencing service at opening of schools in September, 1904, and consequently not in- eluded in the regular school schedules covered in paragraph t above ....................................................... 386,450 00

4. To provide for increase of 25,000 in attendance at elementary schools upon opening. September I, 1904 .............................. 400,500 00

5. To provide for increase in attendance at elementary schools during the year 1905 ................................................ 245,753 33

6. For additional compensation for female Teachers of boys' and mixed classes in elementary schools, $6o per annum, as per statute.... 381,480 00

$14,453,078 6t

Special Teachers.

13. For salaries of all persons now employed as special Teachers in elementary schools, confuted at the rates which will be oper-

December based ative 31, 1 4 (figures upon actual name byname computation) ........................................ $364,585 00

14. For annual automatic Davis Law increments for persons mentioned in paragraph 13 (figures based upon actual name by name computation) ................................................... 5,637 07

i5. To fill vacancies existing in the corps of special Teachers at the time of preparation of this estimate; persons commencing service in September, 1904, and consequently not included in the schedules covered in paragraph 13 .................................... 32,700 00

t6. To provide for increase in attendance during the year 1905 ........ 44,500 00

$447,022 07


Board of Superintendents ............................................ $52,500 00 District Superintendents ............................................. 130,000 00 Directors, Assistant Directors and Teachers of special branches........ 41,000 00

$223,500 00

It should he noted that three of the District Superintendents have special assign-ments of work outside the regular elementary day schools, one being assigned to even-ing schools, one to high and training schools, and one to recreation centres and vaca-tion centres, and that the Board of Superintendents has other responsibilities besides the elementary schools.

It would appear from the above that out of a total estimate of $18,728,487.48 as the amount needed for the General School Fund for 1905, $55,123,600.68 was for the elementary schools alone.

An analysis of the economies which have been introduced into the elementary schools of the City, since you began to investigate the cost of maintaining them in 1904, goes to show that the administration of these schools was unduly expensive at that time. Reforms have been introduced which, if carried to the ft.11, will effect a saving of at least half a million dollars annually in these schools alone, and there are further practical economies which should be immediately enforced. -

School Accommodations.

Next to the maintenance of the teaching force, the purchase of school sites and the construction and equipment of school buildings constitute the largest item of expense in connection with elementary education in this City. To provide school accommoda-tions for a rapidly augmenting population, which now aggregates about four millions, is one of the largest problems with which the municipality has to deal.

The total registration of pupils in the elementary schools of the City in May, 1905, was 525,431, as against 509,969 in May, 1904, an increase of 55,462. In spite of the efforts of the present administration, which has appropriated more money for the schools than has ever before been devoted to that purpose during the same time, to keep pace with the growing demand for school accommodations. the seating capacity of the elementary schools is still so inadequate that thousands of children are enrolled under a part-time system of instruction, the work being so arranged that two classes use the same schoolroom. The number of pupils in part-time classes in May, 1905, was 66,394, as against 75,084 in May of the preceding year, a decrease of 8,6go.

According to the report of the Superintendent of School Buildings, submitted to the Board of Education on July ro, 1905, seventy-two new elementary school buildings are under construction or contracted for, designed to furnish 86,55o additional school sit-tings, distributed throughout the several boroughs as follows: Borough of Manhattan, sittings .......................................... 33.900 Borough of The Bronx, sittings ........................................ 14,750 Borough of Brooklyn, sittings .......................................... 29,450 Borough of Queens, sittings ........................................... 6,5oo Borough of Richmond, sittings .......................................... 5,950

Plans are also ready for advertising, or in the draughting room, for new buildings and additions which, when completed, will afford accommodations for 28,250 elementary pupils.

The problem of furnishing school accommodations for the children of the City is directly related to the course of study which obtains. This fact has not been generally recognized. If the course of study is too heavy, or if it is not adapted to conditions as they actually exist, it retards the movement of pupilsfrom grade to grade, and thereby congests the lower grades of the schools.

The course of study adopted in 5903 prescribed more work than the average child could do, and consequently must have resulted in the retention of an undue proportion of children in the lower grades. The Department of Education has no summary of facts which shows the percentage of pupils promoted in all grades of the elementary schools during the last two years. Were such statistics collected, it may be regarded as certain that the showing would prove that an undue proportion of pupils fail to be promoted from term to term.

In the course of the Department of Finance inquiry concerning the cost of main-taining the public school system of this City, submitted to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment in June, 5904, it was disclosed that the third year classes in the ele-mentary schools, in which sewing was taught to boys, contained a large percentage of pupils thirteen, fourteen and even fifteen years of age. This disclosure prompted the Department of Education to collect official statistics showing the ages of children between five and twenty-one years in all the schools from kindergarten to high school. A deplorable situation was revealed.

In the elementary schools alone 192,143 children, or 39 per cent. of all the pupils in these schools at the time the inquiry was made, were found to be from one to seven years above the normal age for the grades in which they were classified. The percentage of older pupils was greatest in the intermediate grades, the third year classes having 45 per cent. of such children, the fourth year classes 49.2 per cent. and the fifth year classes 49 per cent. In the 5B classes these older pupils begin to drop out rapidly and go to work, as they are entitled to do under the compulsory school law when they have completed the 5A grade or its equivalent.

These facts show that when the inquiry was made 39 per cent. of all the pupilc in the elementary schools were not receiving instruction suited to their years because they were too old for the grades in which they were working. This being true, it follows that the remaining 6i per cent. of the children were being retarded in their progress through the schools by the presence of children in the classes who monopolized the teacher's time and attention and lowered the standard of the work because they did not belong there.

Several causes contribute to this state of affairs, but undoubtedly the main one is the course of study. Not only has the elementary course been too heavy for the average American child for the past two years, but it has not at any time met directly the peculiar needs of the multitude of non-English speaking children attending the schools. Non-English speaking children are so handicapped by not using the English language that they cannot possibly meet, in the time allotted, the requirements of a course of study designed for American-born children, and so they lag behind and congest the lower grades. All this goes to necessitate more part-time classes.

The Problem of the Immigrant Child.

The stream of immigration, which deposited 821,169 aliens at the port of New York during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905, has swollen so rapidly during the last decade that the assimilation of non-English speaking children has now become the most perplexing single problem in the management of the elementary schools. The failure to handle these children in a satisfactory manner not only retards pro-motion in the primary grades and so creates an abnormal demand for school sittings, but the practical results obtained in the teaching of non-English speaking children under the present methods have been so poor that they have become a matter of serious concern to the educational authorities.

The Department of Education has been compelled to devise new schemes for making the teaching of immigrant children more effective. The experiment has recently been made of forming special classes for such children, these classes having a much simplified course of study, consisting for the most part of the three R's only. It is fair to say that this experiment is a departure in the right direction. It should be carried to the point of determining whether it is wise to establish the general policy of having a special course of study for non-English speaking children. It may no longer be expedient to compel all the elementary schools of the City to con-form to one cast-iron course of study.

In any event it has become imperative that some way be found to free the immi-grant child from the burden of a curriculum which does not take sufficient account of his peculiar difficulties, and to facilitate his efforts to acquire such a knowledge of the common branches as is obligatory under the compulsory education law. It appears plain that different standards as to classification and promotion should be established in order that these immigrant children may be advanced more rapidly through the several grades. An absurd custom has continued of putting immigrant children of ten and twelve years of age, who cannot speak English, in with American children just out of the kindergarten and holding them there to learn the language regardless of their prior schooling.

This lack of a proper adjustment between the course of study and the conditions which actually exist in the schools has contributed largely to the overcrowding of the primary grades, and in this way has added to the number of pupils on part time. If the course of study for the elementary schools can be adapted to the peculiar needs of non-English speaking children, and if a better system of classification for such children can be attained, as appears probable, it would go to reduce materially the number of children in part-time classes and so affect directly school expendi-tures.

.A Defective System of Promotion.

In general, the extraordinary demand for school accommodations which now exists in this City is caused to a degree by a defective system of promotion, and this without reference to a poorly adjusted course of study. The entire system of promotion which continues to hold in the schools is oil an unscientific basis. It is too mechanical for practical use in dealing with the minds of children. A whole class of boys and girls is held back until the end of a term so that all but the very dullards may catch up. Bright pupils spend a large part of their school life marking time. Half a million children are swallowed up in New York's elementary schools, put through the same mechanical routine according to the same time schedule, and are turned out after the same pattern, regardless, for the most part, of the wide differences between individual boys and girls. This large fact brings to view the essential crudity of our present system of primary education. While, of course, it is not possible for a Teacher to individuate instruction fully in handling fifty children, it remains true that far mare can be done in this direction than is now accomplished With a flexible system of promotion worked out and applied, and unnecessary delays in promotion thereby eliminated, the fiscal problem of providing seating' accommoda-tions would be simplified.

Unnecessary Expenditures for Clerical Il'ork.

Prior to the Comptroller's investigation the clerical work in the elementary schools was costing more than double the amount necessary to secure efficient ser-vice in this division of school work, and, although expenditures for such services have been reduced nearly $ioo,000 since the Special Committee on Economy was appointed by the Board of Education in January, 1904, there is still room to save almost as much more.

It has been customary to fill the position of additional Teacher (Clerk) with a regular Teacher at schedule rates, such Clerical Assistants being assigned or sent back to class-room work as occasion might demand. The position of Clerical Assistant, which is regarded by Teachers as desirable, cane to be used as a reward of merit, and thus it happened that a considerable number of the ablest and highest salaried Teachers in the schools were spending their time in mere routine work which any competent clerk could perform, the schools being deprived, meanwhile, of the valuable services of these experienced Teachers in the class-room, Of course, as claimed by those who oppose the policy of filling clerical positions with substitutes, it is true that additional Teachers or Clerks sometimes do substitute work in the class-rooms in the absence of regular Teachers. This, however, is a minor consideration, since regular substitutes are provided for such duties, the expenditures for "substitutes

It is estimated that at the opening of the school year in September, there will be 20,000 new sittings ready in Manhattan, i t,000 in The Bronx, 7,000 in Brooklyn, i,65o in Queens and 400 in Richmond, making a total of over 40,000 in the entire City.

More Pupils on Part-Time Than Necessary.

et al.," as given in the estimate of the Department of Education for 1905, being $299,884.23 ; and besides, the substitutes who are put into the schools as Clerks are usually either Teachers of some experience, or girls fresh from the Teachers' Training School.

After mature consideration of the whole question of Clerical Assistants, the Special Committee on Economy recommended to the Board of Education that the Board of Su-perinfendents he instructed to transfer all regular Teachers engaged in clerical work to class-room positions, and to fill their places with persons who should receive a sub-stitute's pay. This policy was adopted by the Board and, although it has been the sub-;ect of not h conti•ovarsy, it still obtains, and the Board of Superintendents is gradually proceeding to fill all clerical positions with substitutes who receive three dollars per lay. But this change is not being effected as rapidly as it should because of the oppo-sition which has been raised by Principals and Teachers cojupxned in such transfers, and the consequent reluctance on the part of the Committee on Elementary Schools to carry such action to the full, ever, though it has the approval of the Board of Superin-tendents. The policy of filling the clerical positions in the elementary schools with sub-stitutes is an economy which is not only practical but also desirable on all accounts.

In February, t9o5, the Special Committee on the Revision of the Budget reported to the Board of Education that the amount paid for the services of additional Teachers had been reduced $75,000 during the year Igo. They also stated that expenditures for such services at that time amounted to over $300,000 a year. Official statistics show that 38 transfers of additional Teachers were made during the year ending July 31, 1905. According to a report made by the Board of Superintendents to the Board of Education on March 22, 1905, after which date no transfers were made to take effect during that school year, there were 318 elementary schools entitled to an extra or additional Teacher, only about one-half of which had been filled by the assignment of substitutes. If the policy which now obtains were carried to the full, present expenditures for clerical services could still he reduced nearly $ioo,000. The average annual salary now paid to regular Teachers acting as Clerks is $1,204. The amount paid to a substitute Teacher is $3 per day for every day of actual service, or $576 per year. If all the schools entitled to additional Teachers were supplied with regular Teachers at the rate now paid, the cost would be $1,204 X 318, or $382.872. If supplied with substitute Clerks, the cost would be $576 X 318, or $183,168, a difference of about $200,000 per year.

U,inecessary Expenditures for Bonuses.

Another source of unnecessary expense in the administration of the elementary schools lies in the fact that expenditures for bonuses given to Teachers of mixed classes have been larger than need he. For long it has been customary in New York City to give female Teachers of boys' classes extra pay, and gradually women who taught mixed classes demanded extra compensation.

The Davis Law, which took effect in May, igoo, not only provided that female Teachers of boys' classes should receive a bonus of $6o per year in addition to their schedule rate of pay, but also that female Teachers of mixed classes should receive such additional pay. The following item, which appears in the estimate of the Board of Education for 1905, specifies the amount required for such additional compensation to Teachers of boys' and mixed classes

A mixed class is one composed of both boys and girls, but according to the By-Laws of the Board of Education " the term mixed class, as used in chapter 751 of the Laws of igoo, shall be understood to mean a class composed of both boys and girls in which the aggregate number of days' attendance of the boys in such class for any given term shall have been not less than 40 per cent. of the aggregate number of days of attendance of all the pupils in such class during the same term."

After the passage of the Davis Law the possibility of an extra five dollars per month for the Teacher of a mixed class led to the practice of manipulating the classes in the elementary schools in such a way as to secure this extra compensation for the largest number of Teachers possible. In the reorganization of the schools from term to term more mixed classes were formed than were necessary, and so expenditurs for i bonuses were swelled beyond legitimate bounds. Moreover, the Davis Law was so construed that even Kindergarten Teachers, who had on an average only 28 pupils to a class, received the extra sixty dollars per year.

In January, 1904, during the discussion of ways and means of effecting economies in the administration of the school system, City Superintendent Maxwell deplored the fact that under the operation of the Davis Law influences had been directed toward principals which had resulted in an undue increase of the number of mixed classes in the schools. In a report to the Special Committee on Economy (Board of Education), the City Superintendent estimated that $225,00o could be saved on this score during the year 1904 by a rearrangement of classes.

In a personal investigation of Public School Ito and the primary departments of Public Schools 49, 53, 7o and 82, in the Borough of Manhattan, in January, 1904. the writer found the number of mixed classes to be 37 greater than need be; that is, in these five schools, 37 teachers out of a total of 129 were receiving $6o per year more than the proper organization of the schools demanded.

One of the district superintendents in upper Manhattan made an estimate that in each of his two districts needless mixed classes were costing $2,000 per year. In January, 1904, the Board of Superintendents issued instructions to principals to reorgan-ize their schools so as to save the sixty dollars bonus whenever possible. In a circular letter to the Principals of the Eighth and Twelfth Districts, Superintendent Edward W. Stitt said:

"I have been making careful study of the monthly reports and submit herewith an arrangement showing the registers in each of the lower grades, the classes having been selected from the various schools of our two districts. You will note that the first two columns show that 19 teachers now draw the bonus in these various grades. By the new arrangement suggested in the second columns only 7 teachers need draw the bonus, thus saving $720. You will also notice that by consolidation one teacher's salary could be saved, which would save $600 in addition, or a grand total of $t,32o.

"When you remember that the plan offered for your consideration only takes note of one grade in a school, and that there are i8 principals in our two districts, it is evident that the adoption of some such plan will save thousands of dollars."

This letter, together with the facts cited above, goes to show what large economies were possible along this line.

It is impossible to make an accurate statement concerning the amount of money wasted through the payment of unnecessary bonuses during the past year, or during the school year ending in June, 1904, because the determination of the facts necessary for such a judgment would involve a personal investigation of the conditions existing in all the elementary schools throughout the entire system. The facts could, however, be easily gathered by the Department of Education, working through the school principals and school superintendents, but strange to say, although school officials agreed more than a year ago that the payment of unnecessary bonuses was an extravagance, nobody connected with the Department of Education appears to have any definite knowledge as to how far such a reform was really effected. During the excitement of a heated controversy over waste and extravagance in the school system, the fiat went forth to dispense with unnecessary mixed classes, but neither the Board of Education nor the Board of Superintendents appears ever to have taken the trouble to ascertain to what extent such classes exi~terl at the time when school officials were guessing that anywhere from $25,000 to $loo,000 a rear might be saved by the correction of this evil.

The necessity is to lift the whole school problem out of the region of mere opinion and guess work and put it upon a scientific basis.

Possible Economies Through Consolidation of Schools.

It is now a recognized fact that the schools are suffering from over-supervision. One of the policies adopted by the Board of Education on its own initiative for the correc-tion of this evil was the consolidation of two or more separate departments into one school under a single management. In the organization of the elementary schools in the Boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx, it has been customary to put a Primary Department for girls or boys, or for both, and a Girls' Department for boys or for girls into one school building. In some instances three such departments were put into the same building, and thus it came about that several distinct schools under as many independent principals are found under one roof. The City Superintendent of Schools maintains that the results of this system are not so satisfactory as those obtained in schools in which the work of all grades is under the general supervision of one principal. He also asserts that the one-principal plan makes it possible to utilize the sittings in a school building to better advantage. Besides, it reduces expenditures for supervisory officers and clerical assistants. For these reasons the City Superin-tendent has instituted the policy.

In consolidating schools it usually happens that the services of one principal and one or more heads of departments and clerical assistants can be dispensed with. According to the report of the Special Committee on Economy (February 24, 1904), $27,000 was saved by such consolidation during the year ending July 31, 1903. No statistics have been compiled by the Department of Education for the year ending July 31, 1904, but at the request of the Department of Finance, such statistics have been set up for the year ending July 31, i9o5. During that year six schools were consolidated or organized, with results which appear in the following table:

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905. T H E'' C I T Y

It appears from the above that expenditures for supervisory officers and clerical assistants in these six schools were reduced $ii,94o per year by consolidations. If, at the same time, as is probably true, the administration of the schools consolidated was made more effective, it is clear that the policy of putting schools housed in the same building under a single management should prevail, even though it continues to arous' bitter opposition on the part of the women principals, most of whom oppose it because men are usually put in charge of consolidated schools. Centralization or high organization is the tendency of the time, and it is obtaining in education as in other lines of business.

Too Many Principals and Assistant Principals.

It has been obvious for some time that there are too many Pincipals and heads of departments or Assistant Principals in the elementary schools of the City in proportion to the number of Teachers, especially in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens.

Official statistics for the school year ending July 31, 1902, show that the elementary schools of the entire City had 634 Principals and heads of departments, and 10,407 regular Teachers-an average of one supervisory officer of this class for every 16 4-10 Teachers. In Manhattan and The Bronx there was one Principal or head of department for every 25 8-io Teachers. In Brooklyn, one for every II 7-IO'Teachers; in Queens one for every 14 Teachers, and in Richmond one for every ig Teachers. In his annual report for that year the Superintendent of Schools commented on these facts, as follows

"On the recommendation of the Board of Superintendents, your Board has adopted new rules, limiting the number of Principals' Assistants who are given supervisory duties. These rules were most necessary, not merely as a measure of economy, but to preserve the teaching force from the evils of over-supervision."

Official statistics for the school year ending July 31, 1903, show that the elementary schools had 670 Principals and heads of departments, and 10,884 Teachers for a year-an average of one supervisory officer of this class for every 16 2-10 Teachers. In spite of the special legislation of the Board of Education concerning the excess of such supervisory officers and the expressed solicitude of the City Superintendent that this excess be reduced, the relative number of supervisory officers in the elementary schools had increased during that school year so that each Principal or head of department now had only 16 2-JO Teachers to look after, as against 16 4-10 Teachers during the previous year. Notwithstanding this fact, the City Superintendent repeated, in precisely the same words, his observation of the previous year in his annual report for 1903.

For the school year ending July 31, 1904, official statistics show that there were 685 Principals and heads of departments in the elementary schools and II,400 Teachers -an average of one supervisory officer of this class for every 16 6-so Teachers. Three years' effort "to preserve the teaching force from the evils of over-supervision" had only increased the average number of Teachers to a Supervisor from 16 4-Jo to i66-io!

If the number of general supervisory officers directly attached to, or devoting most of their time to, the elementary schools, including. Teachers and directors of special branches, District Superintendents and Associate Superintendents, be added to the number of Principals and heads of departments, it will appear that during the school year ending July 31, 1904, New York City provided i,o5o supervisory officers for 11,400 regular Teachers in the elementary schools, or an average of one high-salaried Super- visor for every io 9-Jo Teachers. This fact lays bare the situation in regard to over- supervision. It helps to explain why the school system is unduly expensive.

Unnecessary Expenditures for Special Teachers.

The corps of Special Teachers for the school year ending July 31, 1904, was con-stituted as follows:

Directors and Assistant Directors. Music-

i Director for Manhattan and The Bronx. I Director for Brooklyn. I Director for Queens and Richmond.

As a means of determining just'what has been done by the Board of Education in the way of reducing or increasing the corps of Special Supervisors, the Civil Lists have been used. The Civil List for January, 5905, shows:

That five new Teachers of Sewing entered into the services of the Department of Education during the year i9o4, and one Teacher of Sewing terminated her services with that Department.

That twenty-two Teachers of Cooking entered into the services of the Department of Education.

That three Teachers of Music entered into the services of the Department of Edu-cation, and three Teachers of Music terminated their services with that Department.

That fifteen Teachers of Drawing and Constructive Work entered into the services of the Department of Education and seven Teachers of Drawing and Constructive Work terminated their services with that Department.

That three Teachers of Physical Training entered into the services of the Board of Education and four Teachers of Physical Training terminated their services with that Department.

The Civil lists do not disclose the facts concerning the Teachers of Shop-work, but an official letter from the Hon. Frank D. Wilsey, Chairman of the Committee on

Dated October 31, 1905. GEORGE B. McCLELLAN, Mayor, EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller, C. V. FORNES, President of the Board of Aldermen, JOHN F. AHEARN, President of the Borough of Manhattan, MARTIN W. LITTLETON, President of the Borough of Brooklyn, LOUIS F. HAFFEN, President of the Borough of The Bronx. JOS. CASSIDY, President of the Borough of Queens, GEORGE CROMWELL, President of the Borough of Richmond,

Board of Estimate and Apportionment. The Comptroller presented the following statement, which was ordered printed in

the minutes: The increase in the Budget for igo6 over the one made a year ago for 1905 is

slightly less than $7,000,000. In considering the requests of the various departments, which amounted to very much more than this sum, this Board first determined this as the limit of increase, fixing it by estimating the increase in the City's resources from the General Fund and the Sinking Fund, and from the income which the normal increase of assessments next year will produce. We believe that, except under extraordinary conditions, expenses of government should not be permitted to increase faster than income, and we have applied that rule. It is therefore to he noted that the increase in the Budget just made will not increase the tax rate next year.

Especial pains have been taken to provide for the payment of the prevailing rates of wages, as required by law, and also to provide for Sunday pay for the Street Sweepers and increased pay for the Drivers in the Street Clear:,ig Department. These changes in the Street Cleaning Department are the changes which it was sought to have the Legislature of the State make and which are now made by the local authorities.

The greatest possible care has been taken in the consideration of the Budget of the Board of Education, and a thorough analysis by trained experts, especially employed for the purpose, has been made of the requisition of that Board. The result is that the Board of Education receives in this Budget the largest increase given to any department, and the largest increase for its general administrative purpose which that Board has had since consolidation, an increase of $1,361,170.92. We have also stated in detail the various purposes to which we believe that the Board of Education should apply its appropriation, so that no doubt can be raised as to the purpose of this Board to meet the proper demands for night schools, playgrounds, recreation centres, etc. The detailed analysis and reports upon which this particular item of the Budget is found will be published in a separate pamphlet for the information of those interested.

It will be noted that the demands of the City debt for interest, installments on principal and redemption, have required an increase of $1,849,512.48. This was man-datory, and is due to the increased amount of bonds which the City's activity in public improvements has required. The State taxes are $186,608.20 larger than the previous year. The Police Department requires an increase. of $626,236.72, because of the increase in the force and the deficiency in the pension fund. The President of the Borough of Manhattan has had to have an increase of $234,356, most of which is due to extensive street repairs in streets where the repair guarantees of the asphalt com-panies have expired. The extension of the paid Fire Department into the boroughs of Richmond and Queens has required an increase of $337,ogo.68. The public libraries have required, by the opening of additional Carnegie branches, an increase of $138,037.20.

From an examination of these items it will be seen that the increase in the Budget, while it is kept within the increase of revenues for next year and will not increase the tax rate, is demanded by the enlarged activities of municipal government and the increase of population.

The Board adjourned to meet Friday, Noveniber 3, 1905, at 10.30 o'clock a. in. J. W. STEVENSON, Secretary.

COMMISSIONERS OF THE SINKING FUND OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK.

t

Proceedings of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, at a Meeting Held in the Mayor's Office, City Hall, at II o'clock a. fit., on Tuesday, November 28, 1905.

Present—George B. McClellan, Mayor; Edward M. Grout, Comptroller; John T. Campbell, Deputy Chamberlain; Charles V. Fornes, President of the Board of Alder-men, and John T. McCall, Chairman Finance Committee, Board of Aldermen.

The minutes of the meeting held November 15, 1905, were approved as printed.

The following communication was received from the Comptroller relative to tl:e improvement and development of Jamaica Bay and the water front of The City of New York other than that of Manhattan Island:

November 17, 1905. To the Cof;tntissiouers of the Sinking furic:

GENTLaN—I desire to call to your attention a proposition which 1 have had in mind for several years and which, from time to time, I have referred to in public utterances, receiving in many instances hearty support. I had intended early in my term of office to have made this report, but pressure of other business has prevented. But I should not feel that I had properly completed my work if I left this subject untouched.

The matter of which I speak is the intproveitient and future development of Jamaica Bay and its environs. There is here a vast territory of unimproved land, of land under water, and of bordering marsh lands, lying partly within the Borough of Brooklyn and partly within the Borough of Queens, connected with the Atlantic Ocean at present by a shallow and tortuous channel. The City of New York, as the successor of the former towns of Gravesend, Flatlands, New Lots and Jamaica, has come into possession of this property, formerly a part of the Common Lands of the said towns, acquired by them under the early Dutch and English patents and charters. Little or nothing has been done to reclaim what is practically waste land and water, and in consequence its present value is insignificant. The small parts of it which are claimed to be in private ownership are held by such misty titles that they are hardly salable. The vastly greater part of it is City property.

My proposition is that the City should at once take up, formulate and execute a comprehensive scheme for the full development of this property, (I) by perfecting its title to all of the property to which it has a claim; (2) by condemning at once the un-inlproved shore lands; - and (3) by reclaiming the salt marshes, filling in the shallow parts and hummocks of the bay, bulkheadiug the islands and shore: throughout their entire extent, and opening up such channels between the filled-in lands as may best develop the locality for its future needs and opportunities. It is possible I believe this to furnish here a centering point for great manufacturing interests, which will subse-quently produce a large and ever increasing revenue to The City of New York.

I conceive that it is the duty of the City officials, and especially of the Comnti.;-sioners of the Sinking Fund, upon whom very broad powers are bestowed by the charter, to conserve all the City's resources and particularly those dormant resources which have hitherto received little or no attention, and so to plan for the future devel-ooment of the City's property that no private interests can secure rights which the City itself should own. It is increasingly necessary that the income of the City should be developed from sources other than direct taxation, for the need ofall available revenues was never more strikingly emphasized than at the present time, when the demands for improvements of every nature, including the immense sums necessary for proper transit extensions and greater water supply, are daily receiving consideration. No more promising field in which to search for such returns can be found than in and around Jamaica Bay, where any land in private ownership can now be acquired under condemnation proceedings at very slight cost, largely owing to the fact that an indi-vidual owner of a small plot could ill afford to undertake an improvement of this char-

acter, which alone can give value to his holdings, while the City may easily undertake the work on a large scale and carry it gradually and successfully to completion.

Various causes have arisen of late, tending to a shifting of population, not the least of which are the tenement house laws, rapid transit development, and the building of new bridges between Manhattan and Long Island, with the consequent destruction of an enormous number of houses along the lines of their approaches, extending as they do through the most densely populated sections of Manhattan, and which have driven the tenants to seek quarters elsewhere. In many instances they have taken up their abode in the easterly part of Brooklyn in close proximity to the shores of Jamaica Bay. Real estate values in such sections, where the population has thus been rapidly increased, have risen phenomenally, and indicate what can be done on and about Jamaica Bay itself.

'I hese sections are extremely remote from the water front of the New York Bay and the East river, and the importance of making this side of Brooklyn easily accessible ci, nnot be overestimated. ' lie great markets are located in Manhattan and Brooklyn, at points furthest away and most inaccessible for the cheap and rapid transportation of building materials and food products. The question of the necessity of a large market in the vicinity of the Twenty-sixth Ward in Brooklyn and the dredging of proper channels in Jamaica Bay has been up for consideration for some time before the Boards of Trade in that vicinity, and, I am informed, has received enthusiastic support front the residents and business men generally.

Aside from the market question, it would seem that the greatest effort should be made by The City of New York to retain its manufactories and to do all in its power to provide such suitable locations as will offset the strong inducements offered by land syndicates in New Jersey, where a number of our largest concerns has been induced to build, thereby removing from the taxable list of the City valuable plants, carrying with them an army of operators and their families, who otherwise would have remained within the City limits. This, I am informed, has been the history of the South Brook-lyn shore where, until recently, little or no water-front improvements or rail trans-portation facilities were afforded. A further necessity for the immediate improvement of some new section lies in the absolute need of increased water front and dockage facilities in the port of New York at cheap rates, all of which, for light draught vessels, could be secured in and around Jamaica Bay. •

The lease by the former Town of Jamaica to one Dunton, of a large tract of :curd and land under water in Jamaica Bay, was taken to the courts by the Corporation Counsel, and a settlement was effected by the City authorities, which placed the City in possession of the property, avoiding the lease. A portion of the same, known as Big igg Marsh, upon which were locat: d a few houses and a number of fishing huts, was .ubsequently turned over to the Department of Docks and Ferries by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. Little or no improvement has been made to the premises, but I am now informed that the Dock Department is receiving an annual rental of $3,000, which will be materially increased when existing leases, which have been recognized by the City, expire in 1907.

An action brought by the City at my suggestion against the Manhattan Beach Hotel and Land Company, for the recovery of certain lands and lands under water, fronting on Sheepshead Bay, was settled in July, i904. by the acknowledgment by the defendant of the C;ty's title to a large tract of land under water, theretofore claimed by the corn-Irany. Under the terms of the settlement, the defendant agreed to improve and bulk-head, at its own c9st, a water front of 12,000 feet, to build a boulevard with .a macad-amized pavement loo feet in width along said bulkhead, the same to be turned over to the City within five years in a completed state, and under certain conditions to convey to the City a plot of land not less than eleven acres in extent, reaching from the Atlantic Ocean to the bay, to be used for park purposes. With such a precdent it would seem more than desirable that the City should continue its activities along the same lines in other directions, and should in every instance assert and maintain its title, under the old charters, to such waters and lands under water.

As the State, through its Commissioners of the Land Office, claims generally the right to make grants and leases of land under water, it has seemed desirable that test cases as to this property should be brought to determine the jurisdiction of the State and City before condemnation proceedings are instituted. With this end in view, 1 communicated with the Corporation Counsel in December of last year, and he advised me early in January, 1905, that in his opinion it would be desirable to make a search of the City's title to all the land in question in order properly to prepare an agreed case, when the submission of the controversy to the courts could be arranged with the Attor-ney General of the State, so as to determine the relative claims of the State and the City.

The Corporation Counsel recommended that the stun of $25,000 be provided for such purpose, and at a meeting of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, held March 16, i9o5, the Board adopted resolutions recommending that the Board of Alder-men request the Bo. rd of Estimate and Apportionment to authorize the Comptroller to issue Special Revenue B,,nds in such sum. The Board of Aldermen, however, has failed to take any action upon this request, and the matter is still held in abeyance be the said Board, but the Corporation Counsel has included in his Budget for next year the sum of $25,000 for such expenses, and $io,000 has been allowed. This will enable him to make at least a beginning, and I am informed that the Attorney Gen-eral of the State is willing to submit an agreed case to the court as soon as the City is ready to proceed.

I believe that the Citv's chances of success are excellent, for in a decision in the case of Lownes vs. Huntington. 153 U. S. Reports, I. the ruling is so broad that it wnnlrl seem to practically settle the present cases almost without argument. However, the City's title to much of the lands is undisputed. and it should at the earliest oppor-tur.ity initiate the improvement, which. of course, wil consume many years in its completion.

Private individuals and realty companies have already seen the advantages which will be derived from a policy such as I have outlined above, and to-day the low lands surrounding Gravesend Bay are being bulkheaded and filled in by the waste material taken from the Borough of Brooklyn under a contract with the City, to which I will refer more particularly hereafter. Even in this case, where the physical improvement has been commenced, the title to the land as against the City is evidently far from clear. for applications have already been made for releases of the City's interests. At various places along Rockaway Beach new bulkheads have recently been made front-ing on Beach channel and quite a large amount of land has been reclaimed, so it is evident that private interests have not been slow to realize what the development of this property will be on account of the facilities which it will eventually afford both by water and rail.

In New Jersey there has recently been organized a company with $6,000,000 of capital to improve the Hackensack Meadows, and inducements will probably be offered manufacturers sufficient to win them away from New York, as has been so frequently the case in the past, unless New York can offer equal advantages.

Railroad corporations have been especially active of late in securing large addi-tions to their present water front holdings for the purpose of building freight terminal yards for the ever increasing freight traffic. These terminal properties in most instances were made by reclaiming land formerly salt marsh and inaccessible from both the water and the land side. The excavated material from the passenger terminal of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Manhattan is now being used for filling purposes at its proposed freight terminal in Greenville, N. J.

I have caused a map to be prepared of the Greater City which is attached to this communication• from which it will readily be seen that the area of Jamaica Bay and of the low lands surrounding the same, comprising more than twenty square miles, bears no inconsiderable proportion to the total area of Brooklyn and Queens. If properly developed, this area would produce i2o.000 feet of bulkhead around the main-land, and depending upon the channels to be laid out. would have in addition from two to three times that number of feet of bulkhead around the land to be filled in within the limits of the bay.

That the proposition is easily feasible is clearly demonstrated by the work under-taken by realty and railroad corporations before mentioned, and the City's own expe-rience in utilizing its waste product for enlarging Riker's Island in the East river is evidence of what can be accomplished by the municipality. To Riker's Island the City's waste has in the past four years added about sixty-three and a half acres of good land. It is the intention of the City when the above area is filled immediately to commence improvements to the east of the island which will increase it still further by about one hundred and forty-seven acres.

In the Borough of Brooklyn the City now has a contract with the American Rail-way Traffic Company for the removal of ashes and refuse under which it has already paid the sum of $320.000. which is at the rate of about $26,000 per month, and which sum will be increased as the population becomes greater. This contract will expire

in the year 1908, and it would seem that before that time the City should institute a system whereby all such waste material will be transported and used for filling in lands owned by the City, as it seems the veriest folly to continue the policy of paying large sums annually for the removal of such material to be used for the benefit of private individuals, as before referred to, when, as a matter of fact, it is much more valuable to the City for its own purposes. It may be that the filling cannot be done by the City at the same cost that it is now paying simply for the removal of the material, but even if the cost is greater, the amount so spent would go to the making of a lasting improvement, whereas the money now expended under the contract produces no return and must necessarily be increased from year to year.

The report of the New York City Improvement Commission, dated December 14, 1904, contains a brief recommendation almost identical with the views I had hitherto expressed, and which are enlarged upon in this communication.

The City of New York, located as it is with an unrivaled harbor, into which flow two magnificent navigable rivers, and with its marvelous resources, has not hitherto been obliged to search for means of revenue in the same manner as cities less for-tunately situated, but the time has now arrived when, in order to keep pace with the ever increasing demand for public improvements, many of which were formerly con-sidered luxuries, but now absolute necessities, the City must look to the future and plan so far in advance that no aggregation of private capital will be enabled to secure rights as against the City, to be subsequently exploited at the expense of the people at large.

Some foreign cities, not so fortunately located, are examples of what may be accomplished by prevision and by engineering skill. The City of Amsterdam, the largest in Holland, with half a million inhabitants, was originally a small fishing village located on flat, soft lands, where high tides were a constant menace to the population. It is now one of the most remarkable cities of the world, in that it has reclaimed the land and constructed channels and canals, including a direct canal to the North Sea, so that a large proportion of its buildings not only front on streets, but likewise on waterways, where traffic is rapidly increasing. The streets in many instances have a width of 22o feet, the centre of which is an open waterway, with ample roadways on either side, and rows of trees along the water's edge, a development which is not only useful, but beautiful as well.

The City of Bremen, in Germany, located forty-six miles from the North Sea, on the river Weser, where formerly ships could only anchor in the channel, has expended large sums of money for the deepening and straightening of the river and for carrying out to the navigable channels, docks and quays, at which the largest ships in the transatlantic trade now receive accommodation, while the smaller traffic is cared for in basins and canals running direct to the warehouses.

Hamburg and Rotterdam have likewise so developed their water front along lines similar to that now proposed for Jamaica Bay, that their tonnage has increased enor-mously year after year.

What these other places lacked, Jamaica Bay possesses in no small degree; and whereas existing conditions had to be contended with and business carried on while improvements were made, Jamaica Bay offers a virgin territory, where the ideal development may be secured without hindrance. Short and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean from a harbor amply protected, and full railroad facilities to the north, to the east and to the west and south, would seem to make this location especially attractive to manufacturers, both large and small, who could receive raw material by water and be able to ship the finished product to any part of the United States by means of connection with trunk line railroads.

I think it is hardly appreciated as yet what a great impetus will be given to the easterly part of the Borough of Brooklyn and to the southerly part of the Borough of Queens by the plans now being carried out by the combined interests of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Long Island Railroad and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. To secure a through line, these companies have joined issues, and the final link is to be furnished by the New York Connecting Railroad Company, whose route extends from the existing line on Long Island, over the railroad bridge to Ward's and Randall's Islands, and thence to the mainland in the Borough of The Bronx, connecting there with the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad. The terms for the franchise to the New York Connecting Railroad Company have already been framed by the Board of Rapid Transit Railroad Commission-ers. The New York, Brooklyn and Manhattan Beach Railway Company, a subsidiary company of the Long Island Railroad, extending from Bay Ridge through the Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thirty-second and Twenty-sixth Wards of Brooklyn, is now being im-proved, partly with the City's money, under the so-called Bay Ridge Improvement Act, by which the present grade crossings will all be removed, and this link in the trunk line will be readily accessible to all manufactories located in the vicinity of Jamaica Bay. In view of the large amount, upwards of $3,000,000, being expended by the City as its share of the cost of this track depression in South Brooklyn, I am of the opinion that it should not fail to take advantage of the benefits which will inevitably accrue to its own property.

In anticipation of the increased business to be done, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company has already commenced work on a six-track road, four of which tracks are to be used exclusively for freight traffic between the city line and the Harlem river. The Long Island Railroad Company is engaged at present in developing most extensively its freight terminal at the foot of Sixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth streets, South Brooklyn, where direct water connection, and perhaps before many years direct rail connection, will be made with Greenville, New Jersey.

It will be remembered that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company does not intend to do any freight business through Manhattan at its new terminal at Thirty-second street, via its Hudson river and East river tunnels, but only passenger traffic. The comple-tion of these railroad improvements means, therefore, that the entire freight business interchanged between the great Pennsylvania Railroad system west of the Hudson river, the Long Island Railroad system for Long Island, and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad system for the territory east of the Hudson river, will cross New York in floats in a straight line from Greenville, New Jersey, to the terminal at Sixty-fourth and Sixty-fifth streets, Brooklyn, and will thence proceed by the depressed tracks through East New York, skirting Jamaica Bay through Queens Borough, over the railroad bridge at Ward's and Randall's Island to Port Morris on the mainland, and by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad eastward. Jamaica Bay and its environs are thus to be given direct railroad connections with the rest of the United States.

A glance at the present condition of our water front will show that of late years the City's efforts towards its improvement have been largely devoted to Manhattan Island, where the demands of commerce have necessitated the development of the water front at a greater speed than private capital has been found to embark in such ventures. Again, the knowledge that it was the intention of the City to eventually acquire all of the Manhattan water front may in a measure have deterred individual owners from making improvements. The City has undertaken this work in Manhattan on a large scale, and now owns about twenty-five miles out of a total of thirty-nine and nine-tenths miles of water front. Along the water front it has constructed a bulkhead wall and modern piers of a size suitable for the commerce of the port. In making these improvements, particularly on the lower part of the East river, it has been necessary to destroy three of the old piers to every two of the new ones constructed, on account of the increased width of the piers and of the basins between piers, required for large ships, and thus further to restrict the number of vessels which the port can accommo-date.

The relative lengths of water front in the respective boroughs, with number of piers owned by the City, are as follows:

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905. THE CITY RECORD. I0453 As will be readily seen from the above table, City ownership is almost exclusively

confined to Manhattan, in consequence of which the receipts of the Department of Docks and Ferries for the year 1904 show that out of a total of $3,299,077 only $42,346 was derived from all the boroughs other than Manhattan. These figures illustrate perfectly the relative conditions in Manhattan as against the other boroughs. Although there is little question that Manhattan water front property will always be more valuable than that of the other boroughs, still the ratio of 8o to i in regard to receipts should not be maintained a moment longer than is absolutely necessary.

I believe that one of the most necessary and advantageous cases in which the principles of municipal ownership and operation of public utilities can be applied, is this of the City's water front, to which the City has devoted itself, as shown on Man-hattan •Island since 187r, and to the extension of which in its more newly acquired territory there is a growing need, to be attended, if conservatively managed, by great profit.

The President of the Borough of Brooklyn, in a communication to the Commis-sioners of the Sinking Fund of April 19, 1905, presented to you herewith, sets forth the situation in that borough very fully, and while he does not urge that the entire policy be adopted in regard to Brooklyn which has been pursued in Manhattan, he calls attention to the neglect on the part of the authorities to furnish access to the water front even in the opening of streets at the end of which public piers could be built, which, while being revenue producers for the City, would materially increase the value of surrounding property for manufacturing and other purposes, and that delay in secur-ing such right of access to the water front will result in the building of a wall of warehouses and storage houses around the Borough of Brooklyn, which, if subsequently pierced by streets, will cost the City many millions of dollars, whereas such access could now be furnished for almost as many thousands.

Petitions and memorials have also been presented by the owners of land in the vicinity of Newtown creek requesting the City to take early action in acquiring certain lands adjoining the present waterway and to lay out a basin surrounded by bulkheads, which it was fairly claimed would open up a district in the vicinity of Greenpoint avenue, where no dockage facilities whatsoever can now be obtained, the City being the owner of but a single dock in the neighborhood. Nor in any general consideration of the subject should the undeveloped water fronts of Richmond and The Bronx be overlooked.

It would, therefore, seem necessary for the City to consider this question of public docks in Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Richmond from a broad standpoint, and to acquire under a general plan so many as may he necessary. The improvement, how-ever, of a large district cannot he undertaken on any of these water fronts in so economical a manner, or with the certainty of producing such great results, as at Jamaica Bay.

The physical improvement, consisting largely of the building of bulkheads and filling in of low land, can be in part easily accomplished from the waste products col-lected by the Department of Street Cleaning of the Borough of Brooklyn, and perhaps by the use of the excavated material from future rapid transit subways to be constructed in Brooklyn and Queens.

The question of securing governmental aid in dredging channels to the sea has already been seriously considered. and the Congressman of the district concerned is I:repared to introduce at the next session a bill appropriating sufficient moneys to dredge a channel for light draught vessels as far as Canarsie Landing. This in itself will be a great boon to the Twenty-sixth Ward population, in that it will enable the people to secure building material at prices appreciably less than it is now possible to have the same,-delivered on the ground, which will act as a great stimulus to building operations. It is, however, only a small part of what is needed. An appropriation by Congress would materially assist the work proposed, but it would seem more desirable that the plan for the general improvement should first he determined upon and bulk-heads constructed, in order that the excavated sand may he utilized for filling in behind the City's bulkheads rather than to be used by the contractor for reclaiming private land. Congress will more certainly act at the request of The City of New York then if asked only by the individual or local interests. When the City shall have projected complete plans, I have no doubt that its representatives in Congress will be able to secure governmental aid toward the improvement on a large scale of the necessary channels and harbor, which will very materially take the burden from the taxpayers of the City.

I believe, therefore, that the best results would be obtained if this Board should secure the services of a Commission of Engineers who would devote their time exclu-sively to this work and formulate a plan to be presented to the Board for consideration. :A large amount of data is already in the possession of the Dock Department, compiled from surveys from which definite plans could no doubt be made after an exhaustive study of the conditions. The questions of additional water supply and of a mcnicipal electric lighting plant were solved in quicker !ime by the employment of men who devoted their time almost exclusively to the sabject than they would have been had the proposition been placed in the hands of one of the City Departments, for each Depart-ment has to-day administrative business sufficient to engross the time of its officials without taking tip a line of investi,tat;on and research. I do not mean by this that it would necessitate a special commission to carry out the plans, but merely to view the subject from a broad and impartial standpoint and present a report on its findings. When it is considered that the Boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens have together nearly 2~o miles of water front, upon which there are but nineteen piers owned by the City, it can readily he seen that a problem is presented which is too large to he planned for adequately, exc^pt by men 'ho can give their whole attention to it.

What T have said in regard to the City's title to lands in Jamaica Bay applies equally to Sheepshead Bay and Gravesend Bay in Brooklyn, and to Flushing Bay and Little Neck Bay in Queens, and it is the intention of the Corporation Counsel, I am informed, to submit test cases in each instance. Greatly increased population, how-ever, in the Borough of Brooklyn adjoining Jamaica Bay and immediate extension of its railroad facilities now under way have led me to believe that the physical im-provement might well be commenced at this point on account of the peculiar advan-tages it offers.

The matter should not, however, be taken up in any fragmentary way, but should be carefully considered. I have no doubt a plan can be evolved which will produce a commercial city in and around Jamaica Bay, offering unequalled advantages, includ-ing open space for parks and other public purposes, which will ultimately have a value of hundreds of millions of dollars, and providing also for the development of the other bays where the ancient charters give the City especial rights, and also a general scheme for municipalizing so much as may be needed of the water front of The Bronx, Queens and Richmond and of the older parts of Brooklyn.

I feel that I have all too inadequately presented to you a subject of much moment. Here is a bay and marsh, such as in other countries have been developed into great ports. The City now owns the greater part of it, and can quickly settle any dispute raised by the State. The shore lands surrounding are marsh, of little present value, and should be immediately acquired by the City. Railroad connections with the rest of the country are now building. The bay and marsh are of such kind that pumping and dredging can easily make navigable channels and good land, and in the course of the work the City can here advantageously dispose of its ashes and other waste. A navigable channel to the sea and Sandy Hook, usable by light draught vessels, is possible. Thereupon the City will have a new - subsidiary port, owning the entire water front, consisting, with the islands in the port, of several thousand acres, of which may be made either a commercial and manufacturing Venice, or a Venice of homes, or both. It is difficult to overestimate the profit which, at comparatively slight cost, the City may here reap.

A study of the map which accompanies this communication will be helpful. The extent of Jamaica Bay and its shores, its relation to the rest of the city and to the Lower Bay and Sandy Hook, and its railroad connections, are there shown.

I therefore request your consideration of the appointment of a commission to recommend plans for the development of the water front of the city, outside of Man-hattan Island, and especially of the development of Jamaica Bay.

Respectfully, EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller.

BROOKLYN, April Ig, 1905. To the Honorable the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund:

GENTi.FMiN—Because of the difficulty experienced by my office in dealing with numerous petitions relative to the opening and closing of streets while ignorant as to what the City's policy regarding the development of the Brooklyn water front is to be, I am compelled to address your Honorable Board on the subject of public docks in this borough. I consider the matter extremely important, not only in its obvious rela-

tion to the Sinking Fund revenues, but in its relation as well to the commercial pros-perity of Brooklyn. Considering it first in its former relation, I need hardly call attention to the large part our municipal docks now play and the larger part they are undoubtedly destined to play, in the accumulation in the City treasury of those funds which are to redeem the City bonds. It will not be out of place, however, to indicate briefly how the utter lack of a general plan with regard to the water front has resulted in vast expenditure, which would not have been necessary had there been some atten-tion paid to this matter years ago. It was utter heedlessness which allowed the arbitrary riparian rights around Manhattan Island, secured to the commonalty by the arbitrary decree of Governor Dongan, to slip back into private hands. Only in years corn-paratively recent has it been realized how grave was the blunder and how valuable as a revenue-producing asset of the City were the privileges so long disregarded, given away or sold for a song.Then began the policy of re-acquisition, tinder which the City sought by the expenditure of millions to regain that which it had valued so lightly.

I do not mean to urge with regard to Brooklyn exactly the same policy which has been recently adopted in Manhattan. It has not gone undisputed that the wholesale municipalization of the water front is the wisest course for a City which owes its primacy among the cities of our continent in so large a degree to the importance of its maritime interests. Those interests have asserted that trade is departing from this port to an extent which is alarming, and they have not hesitated to lay the blame upon our system of mttiticipal docks. It may be significant that within a few months, at least two large transatlantic steamship corporations have withdrawn from the City and propose to establish themselves on the New Jersey shore of the North river. It is urged by these maritime interests that the requirements of over-sea commerce cannot be met by mere docks, that the trade demands not only wide and commodious piers, but warehouse shelter for the broken-out cargoes, and cheap, speedy and modern transporta-tion facilities. These things private interests have provided for it on the Brooklyn shore, and unless the City shall go into the warehouse and transportation business, it is obvious that municipal competition with the private interests of which I speak is out of the question. It is for this reason that I would not urge the acquisition by the City of the great stretch of water front with which, I believe, this borough would be able to care for the commerce of all the world.

If, however, I am not in favor of a wholesale municipalization of the (locks of this borough, I am more strongly opposed to that policy of neglect which cannot but result in the loss to the City of access to the water at any point along its shore line. While a great part of the commerce of our port must have those accommodations which the City cannot furnish, another great part of it does not need them at all, but requires only dock accommodations, and with this the City, for its own sake and for the sake of building and manufacturing interests in Brooklyn, should deal. It ought not to 1, difficult to so plan out the water front of the borough as to provide public docks convenient points, where the character of the sections back of the water front has bee n fixed, and to indicate in unsettled sections proper sites for future public clocks. If this he not done now, street after street leading to the water front will be closed, private interests will build along the shore railroad and warehouse barriers, and when in the future it shall be realized in Brooklyn, as recently it has been realized in the old City of New York, that public docks are not only necessary to trade, but extremely valuable as revenue producers to the City, the cost of condemnation proceedings will be counted in millions where it might now he counted in thousands.

That is one phase of the question. There is another. From the standpoint of the great army of consumers in Brooklyn, it is inexcusable that private interests should be allowed to build a wall around the borough and dam tip the stream of domestic trade. To permit private ownership exclusively will mean nothing else. If the old City of New York suffers from over-municipalization with respect to its docks, the old City of Brooklyn has suffered more from the utter lack of municipalization. As I pointed out in a communication to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment on this subject last summer, interests naturally selfish and with a twentieth century trend toward combination controlled and now practically control the gates through which continental products flow into this borough. Warehouse and lighterage interests take toll ou in-coming supplies, so that freight may be as cheaply transported half way across the continent as from New Jersey to Brooklyn. The waterways which seem intended by Providence as a means of easy commerce between the mainland and our islands, become a hindrance instead of an accommodation.

There is a spirit of revolt against all this in Brooklyn. It takes the direction of petitions for the opening of streets which would raze costly improvements and damage beyond measure the value of great water front plants. It will grow more active and more resentful every year if the City shall not take the step which the public interests in a commercial sense, and the interests of the City as a chartered corporation having a large indebtedness to meet, require alike. Each year that goes by will make that step more difficult and more costly. The plan which I would respectfully suggest to your Board is this: That at intervals along the water front certain points be designated as sites for public docks ; that these locations he indicated upon the City map, and that each site so mapped be wide enough to provide for very broad docks (in order that the docks may be sufficiently large and that there be no interference with the riparian rights of abutting owners, I would suggest that the area mapped in each instance he a full block plus the width of both boundary streets).

Were this done, the City authorities could act with intelligence in opening streets leading to the water front, while private interests, with a full knowledge of the City's plans, could proceed with their own water front development schemes without fear of future interference. Meanwhile, the sites selected and mapped should be acquired rapidly in order that the charge against the City's credit which their acquisition will entail may be as light as possible.

What I have said herein applies, of course, to the stretch of water from between Newtown creek and Sixtieth street, which is now covered by docks and warehouses. It applies also, and in so far as economy is concerned. with even greater force probably to the shores of the lower bay, from the southerly end of Dyker Beach Park to Coney Island. and to the shores of Jamaica Bay, back of the Twenty-sixth and Thirty-second Wards. This shore property, not yet developed in the sense that the shore of the East river and the upper bay has been developed by private interests, could he cheaply acquired by the City now, and its dock building could proceed under the direction and in accordance with a system to which its growing commerce would accommodate itself in the coming years.

Yours very respectfully, MARTIN W. LITTLETON,

President, Borough of Brooklyn.

BRooKLYN, N. Y., November 27. 1905. To the Honorable Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, City of New York, New York:

GENTLEMEN—I beg leave to address you on behalf of the Allied Boards of Trade and Taxpayers' Association of Brooklyn, comprising the Broadway Board of Trade, the Twenty-eighth Ward Board of Trade, the Ridgewood Board of Trade, the Twenty-sixth Ward Board of Trade, the Twenty-eighth Ward Taxpayers' Protective Asso-ciation, the Brownsville Board of Trade and the Ocean Hill Board of Trade re the address to be delivered to you November 28 by the Hon. Comptroller Grout, in respect to the "Improvement and Development of Jamaica Bay and the Water Front of The City of New York," and to say that the subject is one which has for many months been receiving the very close attention of this organization, and that the propo-sition of the Comptroller that a commission be appointed to recommend comprehen-sive plans for the development of Jamaica Bay receives our very heartiest indorsement.

The memorial or address which the Comptroller will deliver to you does not in the slightest exaggerate the importance of this undertaking, but to the contrary is most conservative in its representations. It is almost impossible for one who has not witnessed the growth of the section bordering on Jamaica Bay, and carefully studied the situation, to appreciate the possibilities for future development along the lines indicated in 'the address, but if The City of New York takes advantage of the opportunity which is offered in the development of the lands and the waters in question, it will redound to our benefit for centuries, and if it neglects the opportunity we now have, those responsible will earn the reproach of future generations.

It is very seldom, indeed, that any city corporation or government ever regrets any effort at improvement made in the past, and if you take now the action you are petitioned to take, you will have instituted a work that will mark an epoch in our civic history as important as the undertaking of the subway development of rapid transit.

How often and how forcibly is it borne home to us that if our forefathers in their administration of their city governments had exercised a little better foresight, they could, at slight expense to themselves, have saved millions of treasure to the people of to-day; have safeguarded the rights of the people to their common property; have

10454 THE CITY RECORD . SATURDAY, DECEMBER g, 1905.

enabled municipalities to have achieved great proportions, symmetrical development and economical means of communication, with desirable breathing spaces for the multitudes without the expenditure of vast sums to-day in the demolition of buildings, and in wresting back from private hands rights and privileges which the representa-tives of the people should never have relinquished.

Just such an opportunity to exercise wise foresight and to provide for the future welfare of the City it is your privilege to have presented to you by this proposition, and we have very great confidence that you will not neglect it.

The notice that the proposition would come before you did not reach me until late this evening, or a large delegation would have attended the meeting to express Our approval of the Comptroller's recommendations.

Very respectfully, A. FIRMIN, Secretary.

the Comptroller offered the following resolution: Resolved, That a Commission to be composed of Engineers be appointed by the

Mayor for the purpose of preparing and submitting to this Board, at the earliest date possible, a report:

First-Upon the general improvement and development of Jamaica Bay, in the boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, along the lines indicated in the ,communication of the Comptroller to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, presented this day together with plans for the physical improvement and an estimate of the cost of same; and

Second-Upon the general condition of the water front of the boroughs of The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, with recommendations as to the points at which the City should acquire land for the purpose of building public docks, together with such plans as may be necessary for the development of the interior waterways; and be it further

Resolved, That, for the purpose of providing the necessary means for the payment of the expenses of such Commission, including the cost of preparation of plans and estimates, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment be and is hereby requested to approve of an issue of Corporate Stock of The City of New York, pursuant to the provisions of section 47 of the Charter, to an amount not exceeding $25,000, the proceeds whereof to be applied to the purposes aforesaid.

On motion, the resolution considered as pending was laid over.

The Comptroller presented the following report, relative to premises to be leased at Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Borough of Manhattan, for the use of the Fourteenth District Municipal Court (see page 1087):

November 24, 5905. 110,1. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

Six-By chapter 730 of the Laws of 1905 the Legislature of the State of New York created an additional Municipal Court District in the Borough of Manhattan, to be known as the Fourteenth District, the said act providing that: "The Commission-ers of the Sinking Fund shall secure by renting or by the purchase of a plot of ground and erecting a building thereon for the use of said court."

The new district is located approximately between Fortieth and Ninety-sixth streets and between Lexington and Eighth avenues. The centre of business and the population of the district is in the neighborhood of Fifty-ninth street and Madison avenue.

The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund at a meeting held November i5, 1905, authorized a lease of premises 33, 34 and 35. in the building known as the "Emmet Arcade," on the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Bor-ough of Manhattan, owned by John D. Crimmins, at an annual rental of $4,250, pay-able quarterly.

The premises authorized to be taken are on the corner where the car tracks cross, and it was thought advisable to take inside rooms, where there would be less noise, and the owner has offered to lease rooms 64 to 68, both inclusive, and room 50 on the same floor for the same amount of rent. He has also agreed to take out all partitions in rooms 65 to 68, both inclusive, and make one large court room of the same, and in view of the fact that each room now contains a skylight, the height of the room will be sufficient and there will be plenty of light and air. Room 5o could be used for the Clerk's office, and room 64 could be used for the Judge's private office. A floor plan is attached hereto.

Since that time another proposition has been made by the owner of the building on the northeast corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street to lease certain rooms for court-room purposes in that building. Actual occupation of the rooms to be taken could not be given by the owner, Mr. Leo Schlesinger, until May i, i906, as the rooms to be taken are now under lease for lodge purposes. He has agreed to give the Judge's private room immediately and also a room temporarily for the Clerk on the third floor. In regard to the court room, he desires to make arrangements for the use of the same in the day time for court purposes. The rooms which he has agreed to lease from May I, 5906, have a total area of 3.740 square feet, and the rental asked is at the rate of $5,100 per annum from May s, 1906, and at the rate of $2,750 per annum until May r, igo6. The City of New York to make arrangements as to the court room and the Clerk's room, which are now leased for other purposes. A diagram of the premises is hereto attached. Both parties furnish janitor service, steam heat and elevator service.

I would respectfully recommend that the matter be laid before the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund as to the advisability of the selection of one of the above places to be used for court purposes. If the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund are of the opinion that the building on the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street is suitable, I would respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorize a lease of the premises, consisting of rooms 64 to 68, both inclusive, and room 50 in the building on the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Borough of Manhattan, known as the "Emmet Arcade," for a period of five years, from January r, igo6, at an annual rental of $4,250, payable quar-terly, the lessor to supply heat and janitor service and to place the premises in tenant-able condition, and to give possession to the City as soon as alterations are com-pleted. Lessor, John D. Crimmins.

If the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund are of the opinion that the building on the northeast corner of Fifty-ninth street and Madison avenue is more suitable for court purposes. I would respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sink-ing Fund authorize a lease of two rooms on the fourth floor in the northwest corner of the building, containing an area of 3,132 square feet, and also one room on the third floor containing an area of 608 square feet, for a period of five years, from May i, igo6, at an annual rental of $5,100, payable quarterly, and also a lease of the same rooms for a period from January i, i906, to May I, rgo6, at an annual rental of $2,750, payable quarterly, the lessor to supply heat and janitor service, to place the premises in tenantable condition and to make arrangements for the rooms to be used for court purposes between January r, i906, and May r, i906, for court purposes. Lessor, Leo Schlesinger.

The rental asked by both the owners is in my opinion reasonable, and the atten-tion of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund is called to the fact that a large court room in this locality would not be necessary, as the district is not one which contains a large number of litigants.

I would further respectfully recommend that at the time of the adoption of the resolution authorizing a lease, that the Commissioners of the Sicking Fund adopt a resolution designating the premises for the holding of the Fourteenth District Municipal Court after January r, i906, and also rescind the resolution adopted Novem-ber 55, 1905, authorizing a lease of the premises consisting of rooms 33. 34 and 35 in the building on the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Bor-ough of Manhattan.

Respectfully submitted for approval, MORTIMER J. BROWN,

Appraiser of Real Estate in Charge of Bureau. Mr. Leo Schlesinger, the owner of the building on the northeast corner of Madi-

un avenue and Fifty-ninth street, was heard in regard to his proposition. Discussion followed, after which Mr. Schlesinger withdrew his offer.

The President of the Board of Aldermen then offered the following resolutions: Resolved, That the resolution adopted by this Board at meeting held November

15, 19o5, authorizing a lease to the City of premises consisting of Rooms Nos. 33, 34 and 35, in the building on the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Borough of Manhattan, known as the Emmet Arcade, for the use of the Four-teenth District Municipal Court, and also the resolution adopted on the same date designating said rooms as the place where the Fourteenth District Municipal Court shall be held on and after January i, igo6, be and the same are hereby rescinded.

Resolved, That the Corporation Counsel be and is hereby requested to prepare a lease to the City, from John D. Crimmins, of premises consisting of Rooms Nos. 64 to 68, both inclusive, and Room No. 5o, in the building on the southwest corner of Madi-son avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Borough of Manhattan, known as the Emmet Arcade, for the use of the Fourteenth District Municipal Court, for a period of five years from January 1, 5906, at an annual rental of four thousand two. hundred and fifty dollars ($4,250), payable quarterly; the lessor to supply heat, janitor service, place the premises in tenantable condition and to give possession of the premises to the City as soon as alterations are completed; and the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund deeming the said rent fair and reasonable and that it would be for the interests of the City that such lease be made, the Comptroller be and is hereby authorized and directed to execute the same when prepared and approved by the Corporation Counsel, as pro-vided by sections 149 and 217 of the Greater New York Charter.

Resolved, That, pursuant to the provisions of section 205 of the Greater New York Charter, the Comtnisioners of the Sinking Fund hereby designate Rooms Nos. 64 to 68, inclusive, and Room No. 50, in the building on the southwest corner of Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street, Borough of Manhattan, known as the Emmet Arcade, as the place where the Fourteenth District Municipal Court shall be held on and after January I, i906.

Which were severally unanimously adopted.

The Comptroller presented the following report relative to premises to be leased for the new Seventh District Municipal Court, in the Borough of Brooklyn:

November 25, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR-The Legislature of the State of New York passed an act known as chapter 758 of the Laws of 1905, which act amended the Greater New York Charter relating to that part of said Charter relating to the Municipal Court of The City of New York. Borough of Brooklyn. Section I. of said act, in part, reads as follows :

"At the general election to be held in the year tgo5 two additional justices shall be elected ; one in the Sixth District and one in the Seventh District of the Borough of Brooklyn; their terms shall commence on the first day of January, 1906."

Section 1361 of the Charter was amended to read, in part, as follows : ,,'rh,- Seventh District embraces the Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth and Thirty-

second Wards." The Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth and Thirty-second Wards of the Borough of

Brooklyn are contiguous territories. Three propositions have been presented to this office looking to the location of a proper court room, one known as the Penn-Fulton flail, located on Felton street, near Pennsylvania avenue, with an entrance on Fulton street, in the Twenty-sixth Ward. The property on which the hall is situated occupies a. plot 53 by iio feet, and is reached within three blocks, either directly or by transfer, by every car line in the City, elevated and surface. The public hall has an i8-foot ceiling, and from the diagram submitted, is 53 by 87 feet, and an additional room 23 by 55 feet, with toilet rooms and a large room which can be subdivided into smaller rooms for the Justice's room, Clerk's room and document room. There is an entrance on Pennsylvania avenue as well as on Fulton street.

The owner of the building, A. Stewart Walsh, in a communication tinder date of July 7, which is hereto annexed, offers this property to the City, and in an additional communication under date of September 30 states that it contains 5,875 square feet, not including the gallery space at the rear of the hall. He states that the hall has fifteen windows and he will make more if necessary; that it has electric and gas light fixtures that he proposes to provide, at his own expense, steam heat and outside janitor service. and will make any reasonable changes in the building to accommodate the court; that his price for the premises is $2,500 per annum.

The City of New York leased from the owner of the same premises part of the ground floor as a Brooklyn Public Library, and, in accordance with the last lease we have on record, the owner pays light, heat and janitor service. If the owner will fur-nish light. heat and janitor service, and make such alterations in the court rooms in the way of partitions and additional rooms, it seems to me that the rent is not unreasonable. such plans and specifications to be submitted to the Engineers of the Department of Finance, in order that the alterations when completed may be approved by them.

I desire to call the attention of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to the fact that this property is near Fulton street, where the elevated railroad is continually rttnn''Q, althoueh the City has located other court rooms on elevated railroad streets.

There has also been submitted to this office a proposition from Robert Craig of a building located on the north side of Fulton street, 5o feet west of Bradford street, known as Elysium Hall, and being a plot 50 by ioo feet in depth. The plans and a pho-tograph of the building are herewith submitted. The rent asked for this property is $2,500 per annum. There is no communication with the plans and specifications, al-though the owner promised to send one to show what the owner intends to furnish.

The main building is 30 feet wide by 6o feet long. The stage part, or what would be intended to be used for the bench, is 19 feet io inches by t8 feet 6 inches. This building not being as large as the Penn-Fulton Hall, even furnishing light, heat and janitor service, the rent would not be reasonable at $2,500 per annum. This is nearly as well located in regard to transit facilities as. Penn-Fulton Hall.

The third proposition submitted for a courtroom is a building known as the Flatiron Building, located at the junction of East New York avenue, Stone avenue, Bergen street and Watkins. The owner of the property, Mr. Levy, of No. TO6 East Eighty-first street, Manhattan, offers to let the entire second floor and half of the third floor of the new building at the rate of $2,500 per floor. This building is not as well located in regard to transit facilities as the two others above mentioned, but if the larger amount of litigation is furnished from the section known as Brownsville, in the Twenty-sixth Ward, then it is better located than the other two.

Each floor contains 4,215 square feet of clear floor space, and can be readily adapted for court purposes, the owner agreeing to make such division of the floor space as to in-clude a Judge's room, Clerk's room, document room and toilet facilities. One floor space is sufficient. The building is so situated as to have light on all sides.

The rent asked is $2,500 per annum, the same as the others, and if the owner furnishes light, heat and janitor service, it seems to me to be reasonable. The diagram of the floor space and the photograph of the building are attached to these papers, and show that the building will have plenty of light on both sides.

The selection of the location of a courtroom lies entirely with the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. After the same is selected the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund must adopt a resolution authorizing the holding of the court in the building selected on and after January i, igo6, for the use of the Seventh District Municipal Cw.irt of the Borough of Brooklyn.

The owners of the property are to appear before the Commssioners of the Sinking Fund and state their reasons why, in their opinion, their particular site should be selected by the Board.

As stated herein, if the owners will make the necessary alterations suitable for a Municipal Court, will furnish light, heat and janitor service, and will rent the same for $2,500 per annum, either the first or the third proposition selected by the Commis-sioners of the Sinking Fund will be at a reasonable rental, the term to be a five years' lease from January i, 1906, the rent to be payable quarterly.

As to the second proposition, it would not be reasonable as to rent. Respectfully submitted for approval.

MORTIMER J. BROWN, Appraiser of Real Estate in Charge of Bureau.

Approved: EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905. THE CITY

Mr. Ridgway, representing the owner of the Penn-Fulton Hall, Mr. Robert Craig, owner of the Elysium Hall, and Mr. M. Levy, owner of the Flatiron Building, were heard in regard to their properties. Discussion follbwed.

On motion of the Deputy Chamberlain, the matter was laid over until the next meeting.

The Comptroller presented the following statement and offered the following resolution relative to a renewal of the lease of premises at the corner of Clinton street and Atlantic avenue, Borough of Brooklyn, occupied by the Court of Special Sessions:

The following communication was received from the Commissioner of Docks requesting that the resolution authorizing a lease of bulkhead at Wallabout basin, Borough of Brooklyn, to O'Brien Brothers, be rescinded (see page Io22) :

NEW YORK, November 16, i9o5. N. TAYLOR PHILLIPS, Esq., Secretary, Commissioners of the Sinking Fund:

Sus-Referring to the resolution adopted by the Commissioners of the Sinking land October 24, 1905, authorizing a lease of a portion of the Clinton avenue extension bulkhead at Wallabout basin, in the Borough of Brooklyn, to O'Brien Brothers, I beg to advise you that in connection with the examination of plans submitted for the erection of the proposed dumping board it is found that the conveyance from the Unite& States Government under which the City obtained title to the bulkhead and land in rear thereof prohibits, among other things, the use of the premises for other than market purposes. This was not noted at the time the proposed lease was sub-mitted for approval.

In view of the above, I would respectfully request that the resolution of October 24, 1905. be rescinded.

Yours respectfully, MAURICE FEATHERSON, Commissioner.

Approved HRkv I'. NICHOLS,

Principal Assistant Engineer, Department of Finance. November 2o, igog. In connection therewith the Comptroller offered the following resolution: Resolved, That the resolution adopted by this Board at meeting held October 24,

The following was received from the Board of Education relative to a lease of premises on Church street, Kreischerville, Borough of Richmond: To the Board of Education:

The Committee on Buildings respectfully reports that the City Superintendent of Schools has recommended that an additional room be leased in St. Peter's German Evangelical Church, Church street, Kreischerville, Borough of Richmond, a portion of which is now occupied as an annex to Public School 4; that the Department of-Health has certified that the premises are in good sanitary condition; that the Department of Buildings has also certified that the structural condition is satisfactory with the excep-tion of some slight repairs to the wainscoting, which the owner agrees to make; and that the said owner has submitted an offer to lease this additional room, to furnish heat, janitor's service and janitor's supplies, and make repairs in consideration of being paid an annual rental of $3oo.

In connection with this matter, your committee would state that on October so, 1904, an opinion was received from the Corporation Counsel to the effect that in cases of leases it would be well for the Board of Education to insist that the offer made by a landlord should name a certain definite period within which the option might be accepted by the City, thus giving the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund time to act on the proposition and preventing the landlord from withdrawing his offer during the meantime. In accordance with this opinion and in view of the urgent need of the premises to eliminate the congested conditions prevailing at Public School 4, your committee has fixed November I, Igo5, as the date from which the lease should commence.

The following resolution is submitted for adoption: Resolved, That the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund be and they are hereby

requested to authorize a lease of the room adjoining the southerly room on the ground floor of St. Peter's German Evangelical Church, Church street, Kreischerville, Borough of Richmond, said southerly room being at present occupied as an annex to Public School 4, for a period of one year from November I, 1905, at an annual rental of $300, payable quarterly; the lessor to furnish heat, janitor's service and janitor's supplies, and make repairs; the Board of Education to furnish a stove.

SIR—The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, at a meeting held September 27, 1905, authorized a lease of the premises formerly occupied by the Sam Meyers Hook and Ladder Company, on Washington avenue, Rockaway Park, Long Island, Borough of Queens, for a period of one year from the date of occupation, at an annual rental of

It appears that the title to the property has changed hands since the adoption of the resolution, and, consequently, neither of the persons mentioned as lessors could sign the lease, and the present owner, Margaret E. Baldwin, requests that a lease be made for a term of two years in view of the expenses which she will incur in properly fitting up the premises for the use of the Fire Department.

I would therefore respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund amend the resolution of September 27, 1905, in regard to the above matter by inserting as the name of the lessor, -Margaret E. Baldwin," instead of "Frank Sanuer, President of the Rockaway Park Athletic Association, or Frank Baldwin," and also in-sert the term of the lease 'for a period of two years" instead of "for a period of one _~rar

DEAR SIR—Replying to your communication of the 31st ult. to the Borough Presi-dent, stating that the rent for the Fifty-eighth street covered berth for the season 190; cannot be paid until the lease has been authorized by the Sinking Fund Commission, the Superintendent of Public Buildings and Offices states that so far as he can learn nu copy of this resolution was until now received by said Bureau and, in ignorance of th-~ Sinking Fund Commission's action in the premises, he followed the usual custom and c:rrangecl the lease at his own responsibility.

The attention of the President of the Borough of Brooklyn should be called to the fact that a lease made by any of his subordinates, without the consent of the Commis-sioners of the Sinking Fund, is illegal, but in view of the fact that The City of New York has been in occupation of the premises, the only conclusion is to pay the rent. The rent being reasonable, I would respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund approve the hiring of the premises and authorize the Comptroller to lay the sum of $500 to Charles W. Bouton, as Manager of the Bay Ridge Yacht Basin, being the rent for the period from June i5, 1905, to October I, 1905, of the space at the end of the southerly pier at the foot of Fifty-seventh and Fifty-eighth streets, in the Borough of Brooklyn. occupied for the purpose of a berth for a public bath under the jurisdiction of the President of the Borough of Brooklyn, without the necessity of entering into a lease.

NEW BRIGHTON, N. Y., November 9, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller, No. 28o Broadway, New York City:

DEAR SIR—As it will still be a number of months before the Borough Hall will be ready for occupancy, it is absolutely essential that we have additional space for the Construction Division of our Engineer Corps. Every available room in the Richmond Building is now occupied to its fullest extent, as also the two field offices, which are rented for engineering purposes.

We have made inquiries and find that the store and basement floor of a structure opposite the Richmond Building, known as No. 365 Richmond terrace, can be put at our disposal at once, on either one of two schemes:

First—The use of the store floor and basement, with privilege of use of furnace, light and water furnished free, at $q.5 per month

Second—Rent, light, water, heat and janitor service for $65 per month; —the basis of agreement being, lease by the month with privilege of canceling same on thirty days' notice, by either tenant or owner. The owner will put in such toilet facilities as we desire without additional charge.

The rooms are suitable for our use, the building is of brick, 25 feet front and 61 feet in depth, and owned by Isaac Ellis, Richmond terace, Port Richmond, S. I.

I would ask that the use of the building be secured at once through the proper action by your office, or through the Sinking Fund Commission, upon the basis of rent, light, water, heat and janitor service being furnished. Possession to be secured for our work at the earliest possible date.

Yours respectfully, GEORGE CROMWELL, President of the Borough.

I have had an examination made of the premises, and find that the same is a three-story brick building, 25 feet by 61 feet, and is located on the northerly side of Richmond terrace, directly opposite the Richmond Building, where the present engineer-ing force of the borough is located.

I am informed that the new Borough Hall will probably be ready for occupancy about May i, igo6, and as the rental asked, $65 a month, while full value, is not excessive, the owner to furnish water, heat, light, Janitor service and to put in the requisite toilet facilities, I would respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorize a lease of the store and basement floor of the building known as No. 365 Richmond terrace, New Brighton, Borough of Richmond, for a period from month to month, from the date of occupation, but that such term shall not exceed a period of six months, with the privilege of cancelling the lease on thirty days' notice from either party, at a rental of $65 a month, the lessor to furnish light, water, heat, janitor service, and to put in toilet facilities without charge. Lessor, Isaac Ellis.

Pruden, his wife, dated May 8, 1903, and recorded in the office of the Register of the County of Kings, in Liber 20 of Conveyances, page 236, Section 12, and that she became owner of the second and third parcels heretofore described by two deeds of convey-ance from Aaron Kayfetz and Annie Kayfetz, his wife, dated June 27, 1905, and duly recorded in the office of the Register of the County of Kings, in Section 12 of Con-veyances, on June 29, 1905.

The petitioner further states that she is informed that an ancient road, commonly called the Hunterfly road, formerly passed through the said property heretofore described.

From an examination of the tax maps it appears that the Hunterfly road passes diagonally through the property. The Hunterfly road is an ancient highway which has been in use from the time "when the memory of man runneth not to the con-trary," and is universally considered as a road in use during the Dutch proprietorship of New York, and therefore known as a Dutch road, the title to which would be vested in The City of New York.

The use of said Hunterfly road was discontinued after the new streets were opened in the locality where the old road was situated, and is now obliterated for street purposes.

The Corporation Counsel has many times written opinions upon the status of the old Hunterfly road, and more particulatly tinder date of April II, 1904, the Cor-poration Counsel, in an opinion upon the application of Edmund H. Wright (see Sinking Fund Minutes, 1904, page 348) for a release of a portion of the old Hunterfly road, in the Borough of Brooklyn, stated:

"I hereby certify that whatever interest the City may have in the property form-ing a part of the Hunterfly road, in the former City of Brooklyn, which is included in the premises covered by the petition of Edmund H. Wright, is a mere cloud upon the title of such owner."

I would respectfully recommend that this application be transmitted to the Cor-poration Counsel for his opinion as to whether the City's interest in the old Hunter-fly road crossing the petitioner's property, more particularly described as follows:

Beginning at the corner formed by the intersection of the southerly side of Blake avenue with the easterly side of Bristol street, and running thence easterly along the southerly side of Blake avenue loo feet to the centre line of the block, between Bristol and Chester streets, and running thence southerly parallel with Bristol street 400 feet 5h inches; thence westerly and parallel with Blake avenue loo feet to the easterly side of Bristol street, and thence northerly along the easterly side of Bristol street 400 feet 5% inches to the point or place of beginning; excepting and reserving there-from any portion of the above described property that may lie in the bed of either Bristol street or Blake avenue as legally opened, —is material or simply nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner. If he should certify that the interest of the City is nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, pursuant to section 205 of the Amended Greater New York Charter, may properly authorize a release or quit claim, for a nominal consideration, to the said Emma Rockmore of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to all that portion of the old Hun-terfly road included within the lines of the premises heretofore described, upon the condition that the petitioner shall produce evidence that all taxes, assessments and water rates now a lien upon said premises, or any portion thereof, or any sale for the non-payment of taxes, assessments and water rates upon said property, or any por-tion thereof, shall have been paid before receiving such release from the City.

I would also recommend that if the Corporation Counsel shall decide that the interest of the City is not material and purely a cloud upon the title of the private owner, that the interest of the City he appraised at the nominal sum of $I, and that the expense of such release, examination, etc., be fixed at $2oo, to be paid by said petitioner before the delivery of such release.

If the latter, I am asked to so certify, that the matter may be presented to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, pursuant to section 205 of the amended Greater New York Charter; and you request that I prepare the proper releases in triplicate, approve them as to form and transmit same to your office.

In reply thereto I would say that this application is similar to many others it, which opinions have been rendered by the Corporation Counsel in relation to this old road.

In accordance with the opinions heretofore given, I hereby certify that the interest of the City in so much of the old Hunterfiy road in the Borough of Brooklyn as is located within the area of the property owned by Emma Rockmore, which property is more particularly described hereinafter, is a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner.

Excepting and reserving

"Beginning at the corner formed by the intersection of the southerly side of Blake avenue with the easterly side of Bristol street, and running thence easterly along the southerly side of Blake avenue too feet to the center line of the block between Bristol street and Chestnut street; and running thence southerly parallel with Bristol street 400 feet 5/ inches; thence westerly and parallel with Blake avenue too feet to the easterly side of Bristol street; and thence northerly along the easterly side of Bristol street

400 feet 53/2 inches to the point or place of beginning. Excepting and reserving there-from any portion of the above described property that may lie in the bed of either Bristol street or Blake avenue as legally opened."

—the Corporation Counsel having certified under date of November 18, 1905, that whatever interest the City may have in the property is a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner.

Resolved, That the interests of The City of New York in and to the same be and is hereby appraised at the nominal sum of $i, and the expense of such release, examina-tion, etc., be and is hereby fixed at $too, to be paid by the petitioner, and evidence pro-duced that all taxes, assessments and water rates, now a lien upon said premises, or any portion thereof, or any sale for the non-payment of taxes, assessments and water rates upon said property or any portion thereof have been paid before the execution

In connection therewith the Comptroller presented the following report, with opinion of the Corporation Counsel, and offered the following resolution:

SIR—The Joseph 1st. Cohn House Wrecking Company, a domestic corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of New York, in a verified petition, under date of November 4, 1905, which is hereto annexed and forms part of this report, requests the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to authorize <t release or quit-claim of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to a portion of the old Hunterfly road, in the Borough of Brooklyn. The petitioner states that it is the owner of the following-described property:

All that plot of land lying in the County of Kings, Borough of Brooklyn, City and State of New York, and bounded and described as follows:

Beginning at a point on the boundary line between the land formerly of Harriet Ann Miller and land formerly of Thatford where the said boundary line is intersected by a line drawn parallel with Sackett street, as laid down on a map of two hundred and sixty-two lots of Sarah A., wife of William H. Suydam, which line is nine hun-dred (goo) feet southerly therefrom; running thence southerly along the westerly side of Rockaway avenue one hundred and seventy-nine (179) feet two and five-eighths (25%) inches; thence northwesterly and parallel with the northerly line of the Hunterfly road to the easterly line of the Hunterfly road; thence along said easterly line of Hunterfly road to the northerly line of said Hunterfly road; thence again northwesterly along said northerly line of Hunterfly road two hundred and thirteen (213) feet one and one-half (i/) inches to the easterly side of Chester Street; running thence northerly along the easterly side of Chester street ninety-six (96) feet one and three-quarter (I34) inches; thence easterly at right angles to Chester street one hundred (too) feet; thence southerly at right angles to Blake avenue twenty-five (25) feet; thence westerly at right angles to Rockaway avenue six (6) feet ten and three-quarter (Io3) inches; thence southeasterly twenty-nine (29) feet five and one-half (5/) inches ; thence easterly at right angles to Rockaway avenue ninety-one (gt) feet three and one-half (33) inches to the point or place of beginning; —and that it verily believes that the title to the whole of the said Hunterfly road lying adjacent to and bounded by said property is vested in The City of New York, and that it is desirous of purchasing from the said City of New York such portions of said Hunterfly road as Will complement the parcel of land belonging to it, without any prejudice to the interest of any adjoining owners, and without prejudice to the interest of The City of New York.

The matter of the release of the interest of the City to the Hunterfly road has been heretofore passed upon by the Corporation Counsel in several opinions and printed in the minutes of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, one being under date of December 16, 1903, authorizing a release of the City's interest to a piece of property on Ralph avenue and Degraw street (see Minutes, Sinking Fund, 1903, pages 1185 to 1193), and more particularly the Corporation Counsel, in an - opinion under date of July 29, 1904, in regard to the status of the old Hunterfly road, in the matter of the petition of Cecil Wagner (see Minutes, Sinking Fund, 1904, page 689), stated:

"This application is precisely similar to many others heretofore passed upon by the Corporation Counsel, in which the status of the Hunterfly road has been con-sidered, and in each case the interest of the City therein has been certified to be a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner.”

I would respectfully recommend that the matter be referred to the Corporation Counsel for his opinion as to whether the interest of the City in the premises herein-after described is material or nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner. If he should certify that the interest of the City is nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner, pursuant to section 205 of the amended Greater New York Charter the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund may properly authorize a release or quit-claim for a nominal consideration to the Joseph M. Cohn House Wrecking Company, a domestic corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of New York, in and to that portion of the old Hunterfly road, bounded as follows:

Beginning at a point on the southerly side of the petitioner's property distant about eight (8) feet eleven (Ii) inches westerly from Rockaway avenue; running thence southerly at right angles to the centre line of the Hunterfly road thirty-three (33) feet to a point where the line of the Hunterfly road meets with the centre line of the Hunterfly road and distant one hundred and ninety-seven (197) feet one and one-half (t'%) inches from the easterly side of Chester street; running thence southeasterly

I would also recommend that if the Corporation Counsel shall decide that the interest of the City is not material and purely a cloud upon the title, the interest of the City he appraised at the nominal sum of $i, and that the expense of such release, examination, etc., be fixed at $ioo, to be paid by the said petitioner before the delivery of such release.

The petitioner states that the premises owned by him prior to 1834 formed part of the \Vallabout Bridge road to Newtown and Flushing, which said road was owned by the \Vallabout and Brooklyn Toll Bridge Company, a domestic corporation created by ,i ecial charter of the Laws of 18o5, and that. pursuant to chapter 188 of the Laws of 13; of the State of New York, the City of Brooklyn purchased all the land owned by the \Vallabout and Brooklyn Toll Bridge Company, which included the premises ,ncned by the petitioner, the conveyance to said City of Brooklyn being dated Sep-tetnber 29, 1835• and recorded in the Register's office of Kings County on May 28, 1870, in Liber 950 of Conveyances. page 455. The petitioner further states that the Town of Flushing was consolidated with and formed part of the City of Brooklyn, and that the City of Brooklyn was consolidated with the present City of New York, and that taxes have been continually levied and collected upon said premises since the year 1835 by The City of New York and its predecessors, and that the said City of New York nor its predecessors have not been in possession of the property since that time. That• in the year 1846, by acts of the Legislature of the State of New York, Flushing avenue was opened as a thoroughfare of the City of Brooklyn, and the abutting owners authorized to resume possession of the premises not included in the opening of said street, as shown by the Commissioner's map of the opening of Flushing avenue, filed with the Department of Highways of The City of New York, and the premises, of which the petitioner or his predecessors resumed possession, formed part of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road.

The Corporation Counsel. in an opinion under date of May 14, 1902, in regard to the status of this old road. states in the matter of the application of John J. Moran <ee minutes. Sinking Fund. 1902, page 522), as follows

"This old road was established as a turnpike road known as the Wallabout Bridge rand. and running from the East river through the City of Brooklyn. In September,

the City, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 188 of the Laws of 1835, p o.liased this turnpike to be used as a public street, ad the expense of the purchase ' assessed upon the adjoining land. Under chapter 132 of the Laws of 1835, Com- ntioners were appointed to lay out streets and avenues in the City of Brooklyn, and these Commissioners, as part of their plan, determined to close the Wallabout road. This again was confirmed and declared valid and effectual by chapter 41 of the Laws of 1839. Ever since that time this land has been occupied by private owners."

I would therefore respectfully recommend that the matter be referred to the Cor-poration Counsel for his opinion as to whether the interest of the City in the premises is material or nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a privateowner. If he should certify that the interest of the City is nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of the private owner, pursuant to section 205 of the Amended Greater New York Charter, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund may properly authorize a release or quit-claim for a nominal consideration to said Samuel Greenstein of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to all that portion of the old Wall-about Toll Bridge road included within the lines of the following-described property:

Beginning• at a point on the southerly side of Flushing avenue, distant 50 feet easterly from the corner formed by the intersection of the said southerly side of Flush-ing avenue with the easterly side of Spencer street; running thence southerly and parallel with Spencer street 142 feet 3 inches ; thence easterly parallel with Flushing avenue 50 feet; thence southerly and parallel with Spencer street 5o feet; thence east-erly parallel with Flushing avenue 5o feet ; thence northerly and parallel with Spencer street 19.s feet 3 inches to the southerly side of Flushing avenue, and thence westerly along the southerly side of Flushing avenue too feet to the point or place of beginning. -upon the condition that the petitioner shall produce evidence that all the taxes, assessments and water rates now a lien upon said premises or any portion thereof, or any sale for the non-payment of taxes, assessments and water rates upon said property shall have been paid before receiving such release from the City.

I would also recommend that if the Corporation Counsel shall decide that the interest of the City is not material and purely a cloud upon the title of a private owner, that the interest of the City be appraised at the nominal sum of $t and that the expense of such release, examination. etc.. be fixed at $too, to be paid by said petitioner before the delivery of such release.

Re,pectfully submitted for approval. MORTIMER J. BROWN,


NEw YORK, November 22, 1905. Ifon. ED\v'.\RD M. GROrT, Coniptro(lir:

SIR-I have received your communication of November ii, 1905, transmitting for my consideration an application made to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund by Samuel Greenstein for a release of 'a portion of the old Wallabont Toll Bridge road in the Borough of Brooklyn, together with a report in relation thereto made to you on the subject by the Bureau of Real Estate of the Finance Department, and I am asked to advise you whether the interest of the City in this piece of property is material or simply nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner.

The status of this old road has been the subject of communications heretofore addressed to you, cspccialfy one tinder date May 14, 1902, relating to the application of John J. Moran.

I therefore, in pursuance of the provisions of section 205 of the Greater New York Charter as revised, hereby certify that whatever interest The City of New York may have in the premises heretofore described is a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner, to wit:

All that portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road in the Borough of Brooklyn included within the lines of the following described property:

thence westerly along the southerly side of Flushing avenue one hundred (too) feet to the point or place of beginning. -

I have prepared a proper deed of conveyance of said interest which I transmit herewith approved by me as to form, together with two copies thereof.

Respectfully yours, G. L. STERLING, Acting Corporation Counsel.

Resolved, That, pursuant to the provisions of section 2o5 of the amended Greater New York Charter, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, by unanimous vote, hereby authorize a release or quit-claim to Samuel Greenstein of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to all that portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road included within the lines of the following described property • "

"Beginning at a point on the southerly side of Flushing avenue distant fifty (50) feet easterly from the corner formed by the intersection of the said southerly side of

Flushing avenue with the easterly side of Spencer street; running thence southerly and parallel with Spencer street one hundred and forty-two (142) feet three (3) inches; thence easterly parallel with Flushing avenue fifty (so) feet ; thence southerly and parallel with Spencer street fifty ($o) feet; thence easterly parallel with Flushing ave-nue fifty (5o) feet; thence northerly and parallel with Spencer street one hundred and ninety-two (192) feet three (3) inches to the southerly side of Flushing avenue; and thence westerly along the southerly side of Flushing avenue one hundred ( too) feet to the point or place of beginning,"

-the Corporation Counsel having certified tinder date of November 22, 1905, that whatever interest the City may have in the property is a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner.

Resolved, That the interest of The City of New York in and to the same be and is hereby appraised at the nominal sum of $1 and the expense of such release, examina-tion, etc., be and is hereby fixed at $too, to be paid by the petitioner and evidence produced that all taxes, assessments and water rates now a lien upon said premises or any portion thereof, or any sale for the non-payment of taxes, assessments and water rates upon said property have been paid before the execution and delivery of such release.


The following communication was received from the Corporation Counsel relative to a release or quit-claim to Fannie Baum and others of the City's interest in premises No. 43 -Eldridge street, Borough of Manhattan:

NEW YORK, November 22, 1905. Coninrissioncrs of the Sinking Fund:

GENTLEMEN-The Board of Education selected as a site for school purposes a plot of land situated oft Eldridge street running through to Forsyth street, and including the premises known as No. 45 Eldridge street, in the Borough of Manhattan.

The Board of Estimate and Apportionment authorized the Corporation Counsel to institute proceedings to acquire the fee of said property. Commissioners were appointed, and when the damage map was prepared it was ascertained that the premises selected by the Board of Education by metes and bounds took a portion of the wall of No. 43 Eldridge street.

The attention of the Board of Education was called to this matter, as the taking of these few inches of the wall of No. 43 Eldridge street would entail large expense upon the City and injury to the property owner without any commensurate advantage to the City. The Board of Education thereupon passed a resolution stating that the premises were to be taken subject to the rights of the owner of No. 43 Eldridge street in the party wall dividing No. 43 and No. 45. Upon the presentation to the Commissioners of this resolution, counsel for the property owner agreed that no damages would be claimed to the building No. 43 Eldridge street, and the case was tried before the Commissioners on that theory. It was assumed that this resolution of the Board of Education would be sufficient, as it appears in the testimony taken and as the report of the Commissioners would refer to the change made by the resolution. It appears, however, that the Lawyers' Title Insurance Company, upon examining the title to the premises No. 43 Eldridge street, has raised an objection to the title on the ground that by a resolution of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment title to the property shown on the map as prepared by the Board of Education, vested in The City of New York on the first day of March, 1905, prior to the adoption by the Board of Educa- tion of the resolution that the property should be taken subject to the rights of the owner of No. 43 in the party wall, and that therefore the resolution of the Board of Education was ineffectual.

The company has requested that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund release "all right, title and interest of The City of New York in premises No. 43 Eldridge street" in order to cure the defect in the title.

In view of the resolution of the Board of Education and the fact that the case was tried before the Commissioners on the theory that the City had no claim to any portion of No. 43 Eldridge street, such a release should, in my opinion, be given in order to remove the cloud upon the title of the owners of said premises, who are Fannie Baum, Manuel Baum, Samuel Baum, David Baum, Albert Baum, Alexander Baum, Daisy Rothschild, Irving Baum and Mortimer Baum.

Respectfully yours, JOHN J. DELANY, Corporation Counsel.

In connection therewith the Comptroller presented the following report and offered the following resolution :

November 24, 1g05. Hopi. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR-The Board of Estimate and Apportionment at a meeting held March 31, 1904, adopted a resolution authorizing the institution of condemnation proceedings for the acquisition of certain premises on Eldridge and Forsyth streets, between Hester and Canal streets, in the Borough of Manhattan, for school purposes, and at its meeting held December 30, 1904, adopted a resolution vesting the title to said property in the City of New York on March t, 1905. Commissioners of Estimate and Appraisal were appointed and their oaths were duly filed in the office of the Clerk of the County of New York on November 15, 1g04.

The Corporation Counsel in an opinion under date of November 22, 1905, states

"When the damage map was prepared, it was ascertained that the premises selected by the Board of Education by metes and bounds took a portion of the wall of No. 43 Eldridge street."

And the Board of Education afterwards adopted a resolution stating that the premises were to be taken subject to the rights of the owner of No. 43 Eldridge street in the party wall dividing Nos. 43 and 45 Eldridge street. The Corporation Counsel in the opinion heretofore referred to states:

"Upon the presentation to the Commissioners of this resolution, counsel for the property owner agreed that no damage would be claimed to the building No. 43 Eldridge street, and the case was tried before the Commissioners on that theory."

It appears however that the Lawyers' Title Insurance Company, upon examination of title to premises No. 43 Eldridge street, has raised an objection to the title on the ground that by the resolution of the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, title to the property shown on the map prepared by the Board of Education, vested in The City of New York on March t, 1905, prior to the adoption by the Board of Education of the resolution that the property should be taken subject to the rights of the owner of No. 43 Eldridge street in the party wall, and therefore the resolution of the Board of Education was ineffectual.

I would therefore respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorize a release for and in consideration of the sum of $i to Fannie Baum, Manuel Baum, Samuel Baum, David Baum, Albert Baum, Alexander Baum, Daisy Rothschild. Irving Baum and Mortimer Baum, of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to the premises No. 43 Eldridge street, in the Borough of Manhattan, known as Lot No. 29 in Block Sot, subject, however, to all the taxes,

assessments, water rates or sales against the property which may be due and unpaid, or any other liens against the property which the City may have.




Resolved, That, pursuant to the provisions of section 205 of the Amended Greater New York Charter, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, by unanimous vote, hereby authorize a release to Fannie Baum, Manuel Baum, Samuel Baum, David Baum, Albert Baum, Alexander Baum, Daisy Rothschild, Irving Baum, and Mortimer Baum of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to the prem-ises No. 43 Eldridge street, Borough of Manhattan, known as Lot No. 2g in Block 301,

-the Corporation Counsel having advised the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, tinder date of November 22, 1905, that such release should, in his opinion, be given in order to remove the cloud upon the title of the owners of said premises.

Resolved, That the interests of The City of New York in and to the same be and is hereby appraised at the nominal sum of $I, subject, however, to all the taxes, assessments and water rates or sales against the property which may be due and unpaid or any other liens against the property which the City may have.


The following application was received from the Trustees of the College of The City of New York for the assignment of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, from Convent to Amsterdam avenue, discontinued and closed by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, for use as a campus for said College:

NEW YORK, November 22, 1905.

To the Honorable the Board of Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of The City of New York:

GENTLEMEN-The undersigned are a Special Committee, duly appointed by the Board of Trustees of the College of The City of New York, with authority to take the necessary steps to secure the closing of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street. from Convent to Amsterdam avenue, and to have the property included in the college grounds. The portion of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, the closing of which was contemplated by the Board of Trustees, lies between two portions of the prop-erty on which the new buildings of the college have been erected. It was desired, by closing the street, to consolidate the two blocks on which these buildings are into a single block, extending from One Hundred and Thirty-eighth to One Hundred and Fortieth street, and bounded on either side by Convent and Amsterdam avenues. By so doing the new buildings of the college would become grouped around an open central space, which could be used for a campus, to the advantage of the students who attend the college and to the great improvement of the appearance of the college buildings. We have attached to this letter a sketch or plan of the college property showing the relation to the college property of the portion of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street referred to.

In order to carry out the design of the Board of Trustees this Committee peti-tioned the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of The City of New York to change the map or plan of The City of New York so as to close the said portion of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, between Convent and Amsterdam avenues, and the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, on the 22d day of September, 1905, after due notice and a public hearing, adopted a resolution (a certified copy of which is attached hereto) changing the map or plan of The City of New York so as to close said por-tion of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, and the said street is therefore now closed.

In view of what is said above, as to the great advantage which will come to the college from the consolidation of the two blocks above referred to into one block, by giving the use of the land formerly a part of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street lying between those blocks to the college, we respectfully suggest and represent to you that the said land formerly a part of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, and lying between Convent and Amsterdam avenues, is needed for public use by the College of The City of New York.

We therefore respectfully request and petition that the said land be assigned for the uses of the college, under the provisions of section 205 of the Greater New York Charter as amended.

We have attached hereto a form of resolution which will accomplish the purpose which we desire, if your Honorable Board should deem it proper to adopt the same; and reference is hereby made to this resolution as showing the purposes for which the College of The City of New York desires to use the said lands.

JAMES BYRNE, M. WARLEY PLATZEK,

The above is a true copy of the resolution adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment on September 22, 1905, and approved by the Mayor on October 26, 1905.

: JOHN H., MOONEY, Assistant Secretary.

In connection therewith the Comptroller presented the following report and offered the following resolution:

Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller: • SiR-James Byrne, Esq., and M. Warley Platzek, Esq., a !special committee

appointed by the Board of Trustees of the College of The City of New York, with authority to take the necessary steps to secure the closing of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, from Convent to Amsterdam avenue, and have the property included in the college grounds, in a communication under date of November 22, 1905, addressed to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, request that the land in question be assigned for the uses of the college, under the provisions of section 205 of the Greater New York Charter as amended.

The Board of Estimate and Apportionment at a meeting held July 14, 1905, adopted a resolution proposing to change the map or plan of The City of New York so as to close and discontinue West One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, between Convent avenue and Amsterdam avenue, in the Borough of Manhattan.

RECORD. 10461

A public hearing was set for September 22, 1905, and after due advertisement in the corporation newspaper, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment on that day adopted a resolution that, in pursuance to the provisions of section 442 of the Greater New York Charter as amended, deeming it for the public interest to change the map or plan of The City of New York, did close and discontinue the aforesaid street. The said resolution was approved by his Honor the Mayor on October 26, 1905. The City of New York owns both sides of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, between Con-vent and Amsterdam avenues, upon which is erected the new buildings of the College of The City of New York.

In the communication referred to, the committee states "It was desired by closing the street to consolidate the two blocks on which these

buildings are into a single block, extending from One Hundred and Thirty-eighth to One Hundred and Fortieth street, and bounded on either side by Convent and Amster-dam avenues. By so doing the new buildings of the college would become grouped arount an open central space, which could be used for a campus, to the advantage of the students who attend the college and to the great improvement of the appearance of the college buildings."

I am of the opinion that it would subserve the best interest of the City if the two blocks were consolidated into one block, by giving the use of the land formerly a part of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, lying between City property, and I would respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund adopt a resolu-tion assigning the property formerly a part of West One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, lying between Convent avenue and Amsterdam avenue, for the public purposes or use of the College of The City of New York for a campus of said college, or for such other proper corporate purposes or use of said college as the Board of Trustees of said college may from time to time deem fit and proper.




Whereas, The Board of Estimate and Apportionment of The City of New York, in pursuance of the provisions of .section 442 of the Greater New York Charter as amended, has duly changed the map or plan of The City of New York so as to close and discontinue West One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, between Convent and Amsterdam avenues, by resolution of said Board adopted on the 22d day of Septem- her, 1905, and approved by the Mayor on October 26, 1905; and

Whereas, The lands theretofore a part of West One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street and lying between Convent avenue and Amsterdam avenue, are needed for public use by the College of The City of New York; now therefore be it

Resolved, That the lands formerly a part of West One Hundred and Thirty-ninth street, and lying between Convent avenue and Amsterdam avenue, in the Borough of Manhattan, be and the same hereby are assigned for the public purpose or use by the College of The City of New York, for a campus for said college for such other proper corporate purposes or uses of said college as the Board of Trustees of said college may from time to time deem fit and proper.


The following communication was received from the Commissioner of Parks, Bor-ough of The Bronx, turning over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund the property bounded by One Hundred and Eightieth and One Hundred and Eighty-first streets, Bronx street and Boston road:

NEW YORK, November 21, 1905.

Hon. N. TAYLOR PHILLIPS, Secretary, Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, No. 28a

Broadway, New York City: DEAR SIR-In reply to your communication of the 31st ult. in regard to the

property bounded by One Hundred and Eightieth and One Hundred and Eighty-first streets, Bronx street and Boston road, in the Borough of The Bronx, which was requested by this department to be turned over to the New York Zoological Society, I would state that in pursuance of section 205 of the amended Greater New York Charter the said property is herewith turned 'over to the Commissioners of the Sink-ing Fund, as no longer required for the use of this department, in order that the proper assignment may be made by the Commissioners of Sinking Fund.

Respectfully, HENRY C. SCHRADER,

Commissioner of Parks, Borough of The Bronx. Filed.

The Comptroller presented the following report and offered the following resolution relative to the assignment of the property acquired for park purposes, bounded by One Hundred and Eightieth and One Hundred and Eighty-first streets, Bronx street

and Boston road, to the New York Zoological Society: October 30, 1905.

I-Ion. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller: SIR-The Hon. Henry C. Schrader, Commissioner of the Department of Parks,

Borough of The Bronx, in a communication under date of October 25, 1905, requests that the property acquired for park purposes bounded by One Hundred and Eightieth and One Hundred and Eighty-first streets, Bronx street and Boston road, be set aside for the use of the New York Zoological Society. The property within the area of the streets above mentioned was acquired from the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company on October 3, 1904, for park purposes. The Commissioner states that the New York Zoological Society has requested his assignment of the property to their use, as was done for the use of the said society when South Bronx Park was allotted in March, 1897, under the authority of chapter 435 of the Laws of 1895 (see Minutes of the Sinking Fund Commission, May 21, 1896; December 24, 1896; March 19, 1899, and March 24, 1897).

Under date of March 24, 1897, the Corporation Counsel, in a communication dated March 22, when he was requested to approve of a proposed agreement between the Park Commissioner and the Zoological Society, stated that, in his opinion, there was no provision in the incorporating of the Zoological Society for a contract with the Park Department and the Society, such as that which obtains in the case of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Natural History, and suggests that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, by chapter 435 of the Laws of 1895, are vested with discretion to set apart for the use of the corporation any of the lands of the City north of One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street; and further, that, in his opinion, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund have power to impose such reasonable restrictions and conditions upon their allotment of land for this purpose as may seem to them to be proper. He therefore took the liberty of recasting the memorandum submitted to him into a form of resolution for the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, and transmitted it to the Board, and the Sinking Fund Commissioners at a meeting held March 24, 1897 (see Minutes, Sinking Fund, page 831), adopted the preamble and resolutions, setting aside and appropriating for the use of the New York Zoological Society a tract of land in the southern portion of the Bronx Park, embracing an area of about 261 acres and consisting of so much of said tract as lies south of Pelham avenue. I am of the opinion, in order to clearly bring before the present Com-missioners of the Sinking Fund what was done at that meeting, that the resolution adopted at that time be given in full and which is as follows:

Whereas, By chapter 435 of the Laws of 1895, entitled "An act to incorporate the New York Zoological Society, and to provide for the establishment of a zoological garden in The City of New York," it is provided that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of The City of New York are authorized in their discretion to allot, set apart and appropriate, for the use of said corporation, any of the lands belonging to said city north of One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, but not in Central Park;

Resolved, That the said Commissioners of the Sinking Fund do hereby allot, set apart and appropriate, for the use of said corporation, a tract of land in the southern portion of Bronx Park, embracing an area of about 261 acres, and consisting of so much of said park as lies south of Pelham avenue, upon the following terms and conditions, to wit:

10462 THE CITY RECORD , SATURDAY, DECEMBER g, igo5.

First—That said grounds thus set apart and appropriated shall be used for no other purpose whatsoever, except for the purposes of said zoological garden, as the same are specified in the act aforesaid, and that said appropriation of said lands hereby made shall be revoked if, after the expiration of three years from thedate of the commencement of the work by the Park Department for the necessary improvement of the grounds as referred to and described in the sixth paragraph of this resolution, a zoological garden is not established upon said tract of land.

Second—That the original equipment of buildings and animals for said zoological garden shall be paid for from funds contributed by the New York Zoological Society, and that said society shall, before it enters into occupation of the allotted land, and within one year from the date of this resolution, raise one hundred thousand dollars by subscription, and within three years from the date of the commencement of the work by the Park Department, for the necessary improvement of the grounds, as referred to and described in the sixth paragraph of this resolution, the further sum of at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. If the said society shall fail or neglect to raise said funds within the periods respectively fixed therefor, it shall, on demand of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, surrender to The City of New York the land allotted to it as a site for said garden, and all improvements made thereon. The said society shall not mortgage its buildings or animals, or any of its property within said garden, which is directly or indirectly maintained by The City of New York.

Third—The said Zoological Society shall have the power to establish an endow-ment fund from the donations and bequests, which fund shall be used solely, unless (;therwise specified by the donors thereof, for the general uses and purposes of said society.

Fifth-So long as the said society is intrusted with the control and management of the said zoological garden, and the City provides for the proper maintenance and care of the animals and collections therein, the said society shall not remove any of its animals or collections for exhibition elsewhere, without the consent of the Board of Parks. but if the City shall ever cease to provide for the proper maintenance and care of the said animals and collections, the said Zoological Society shall have the right, upon giving three months' notice in writing to the Board of Parks, to remove said animals and collections owned by it. The said society shall have the right to improve its collections by the exchange of animals, and also by the sale of animals not needed for exhibition ; but all moneys derived from such sale or exchange of animals shall he used only for the purpose of increasing said collections.

Prior to the commencement of any work on said garden the general plan therefor shall be submitted to and approved by the Park Board, and all subsequent plans for buildings, roadways and paths shall also be submitted and approved. No living tree shall he cut down or removed, except by the express authority of said Park Department, but the said Zoological Society shall have the right to remove dead trees and such bushes as it may be necessary to remove in the preparation of inclosures for animals or in making other improvements. The said Department of Parks shall plant such and so many shade trees, aquatic plants, shrubs and flowers as may be necessary to enhance and secure the seclusion, beauty and usefulness of the park, and shall do and perform all the work of gardening necessary to carry out the general plan of improvement and the subsequent plans as may be agreed upon between the said Zoological Society and the said Department of Parks.

The property mentioned in the letter of the Commissioner of the Department of Parks, and requested by the New York Zoological Society, is directly south and adjoin-ing the zoological park, and I see no reason why, if the Commissioner of the Depart-ment of Parks of the Borough of The Bronx shall turn the property over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, in accordance with section 205 of the Greater New York Charter, that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund should not adopt an appropriate resolution, assigning to the Zoological Society of New York City, during the pleasure of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, the property heretofore acquired for park purposes.

The Comptroller presented the following statement and offered the following resolution, relative to a sale at public auction of tax sale certificates Nos. 5655 and 5656 on lots fronting on Atlantic avenue, between Troy and Schnectady avenues, in the Borough of Brooklyn:

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905. THE CITY RECORD . 10463

November 25, 1905. Hon. EDWARD \1. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR—The City of New York, as successor to the City of Brooklyn, holds two tax sale certificates on lots fronting on Atlantic avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, between Troy and Schnectady avenues. These lots are known as Lots Nos. 15 and 16, in Block 157 of the Twenty-fourth Ward, and the certificates are registered in the office of the Collector of Assessments and Arrears by the certificate numbers 5655 and 5656.

Certificate No. 5655 was sold July 21, 1886, for........ .... $465 59 The City has paid subsequent taxes thereon from 1882 to

1896, amounting in the aggregate to .................... 525 52 $991 II

Certificate No. 5656 was sold July 2I, 1886, for .............. $116 II The City has paid subsequent taxes thereon from 1882 to

1896, amounting to ..................................... 84 28 200 39

Total ...................................................... $I,191 50

The City has never acquired a deed to these two parcels of land. One of them is an interior plot, as shown on the diagram hereto annexed, and the other has a frontage on Atlantic avenue.

Messrs. Wichert & Gardiner, in a communication, have offered the sum of $I,5oo for the sale of the City's interest in these two certificates. If the City had a good title to this property the lots would be worth about $3,000, but this is simply a tax sale certificate, and the City must, in order to perfect its title, serve proper notices and acquire a deed thereunder from the Collector of Assessments and Arrears in said borough.

The amount of taxes due and unpaid which Mr. Wichert will have to pay when he straightens out the title amount, without interest, to about $330. I am of the opinion that the interests of the City will be served in this matter if the Commission-ers of the Sinking Fund authorize a sale of these certificates in accordance with the provisions of section 221 of the amended Greater New York Charter, and I respect-fully recommend that the offer of Mr. Wichert be accepted and the sale be made at the_ upset price of $1,500.




Resolved, That, pursuant to the provisions of section 221 of the Greater New York Charter, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund hereby authorize the Comptroller to sell at public auction, after due advertisement, for cash, to the highest bidder, all the right, title and interest of The City of New York, in certain tax sale certificates regis-tered in the office of the Collector of Assessments and Arrears in the Borough of Brooklyn, known by the certificate Not. 5655 and 5656, being for the sale of the non-payment of taxes on lots fronting on Atlantic avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, between Troy and Schenectady avenues, and known as Lots Nos. 15 and 16, in Block 157 of the Twenty-fourth Ward, Borough of Brooklyn. The minimum or upset price at which the said certificates are to be sold is hereby appraised and fixed at one thousand live hundred dollars for the two certificates, and the Comptroller is hereby authorized to take the necessary steps for making such resale upon the following terms and conditions

The highest bidder will be required to pay the full amount of his bid or purchase money at the time of the sale. The assignment of the certificates of sale for taxes duly executed will be delivered to the purchaser at the time of sale and shall be taken by the said purchaser without recourse.

The Comptroller may, at his option, resell the certificates if the successful bidder shall fail to comply with the terms of sale, and the person failing to comply therewith ;hall be held liable for any deficiency which may result from any such resale.

The right to reject any bid is reserved. The report was accepted and the resolution unanimously adopted.

the following was received from the Corporation Counsel relative to chapter 718 of the Laws of i9o:}, as amended by chapter 133 of the Laws of 1905, relative to an exchange of property on Randall's Island, now under the control and management of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, for so much of the lands and buildings situated north of Clarkson street and extending from Albany avenue to Utica avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, as may be desired, or as are now used for state hospital purposes:

NEW YORK, June 2, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR—Chapter 718 of the Laws of 1904, entitled "An Act authorizing the selection of lands on a site for the New York State Training School for Boys, and establishing the said school," in relation to report and exchange of lands, as amended by chapter 133 of the Laws of 1905, authorizes a commission appointed under said act to enter into negotiations with The City of New York, acting by and through the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of said City, for the purpose of agreeing on terms and conditions in consideration of which the State and managers of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents in The City of New York shall abandon the land and build-ing on Randall's Island, in said City, and shall relinquish all their right and interest therein and permit the same to revert to The City of New York. The act also author-izes the City to convey to the State lands and buildings situated north of Clarkson street, extending from Albany avenue to Utica avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn.

At the request of the Mayor, I have had an interview with Mr. Alexander E. Orr, who is authorized to negotiate on behalf of the Commission and also on behalf of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, as to the terms of the exchange. The act prescribes that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund of the City shall con-duct the negotiations on behalf of the City.

November to, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller, Brooklyn, N. Y.:

DEAR SIR—As one of the Managers of the Long Island State Hospital for the Insane, situated at Flatbush, and speaking for the Board, I beg to call your attention to a matter which I am sure you already have investigated, namely: The situation arising under chapter 133, Laws of 1905, being an act authorizing the selection of lands for the New York State Training School for Boys. Under said act, certain negotiations between the City authorities and the Lunacy Commission are authorized, which would eventually permit the City to acquire certain lands in the Borough of Brooklyn, at Clarkson street, now used for the State Hospital purposes, in exchange for certain Randall's Island property.

This bill authorizes negotiations between the City authorities and the Lunacy Commission. It is important that this should be done before the Ist of January, and I beg that you will take the necessary steps to authorize the Corporation Counsel to open negotiations with the Lunacy Commission or those who will act in the matter.

Your early action on this matter will greatly oblige, Yours respectfully,

NORMAN S. DIKE.

In connection -therewith the Comptroller presented the following report and offered the following resolution:

November 27, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR—The Corporation Counsel, in a communication under date of June 2, 1905, transmits to this office copy of an act known as chapter 133 of the Laws of 1905 of the Legislature of the State of New York, which act contemplates, among other things, an exchange of properties on Clarkson street, extending from Albany avenue to Utica avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, for the lands and buildings now under the management of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents at Ran-dall's Island, Borough of Manhattan, and concludes by saying:

"I therefore call your attention to the matter in order that your Department may make appraisals of the properties to be exchanged."

Chapter 133 of the Laws of r9o5 was an act amending chapter 718 of the Laws of i9o4, by simply amending sections 4 and 7 of said original act.

The land on Randall's Island, upon which are erected the buildings now used by the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, comprises 36.36 acres, and is leased to the society for "the yearly rent of $I, payable when legally demanded by the Comptroller of said City, and only in such event," and the buildings on said land revert to the City of New York with the land in case the property now used by the society should be abandoned.

The Clarkson street property, in the Borough of Brooklyn, described in the act, is now used for State hospital purposes under a lease from the City, and as a potter's field.

The buildings on the Clarkson street property consist of a three and four story and basement, non-fireproof, brick building, the main building being 65o feet in length, with several wings. In the rear there are about a dozen smaller buildings, brick and frame, such as amusement hall, workshop, engine house, boiler house, laundry, carpenter shop, meat house, plumbing shop, ice house, fire house and green house, and, in my opinion, the value of the property, including the land and buildings, is approxi-mately $900,000.

As to the Randall's Island property, the buildings are greater in extent and of considerably larger value than the Clarkson Street Hospital buildings in Brooklyn. The main building is of much the same character as the hospital building in Brooklyn; is a note-fireproof brick structure, three and four stories in height, with a basement, and about 85o feet in length. The outbuildings are much more numerous and larger than those on the Brooklyn property, a large part of them being three-story structures and nearly all of brick.

As the City is the owner of the land on the Randall's Island property, I think it is only fair to consider the value of the buildings, as against the proposition of the Clark-son street property.


There is one thing that should be considered in this matter, and that is the work done by the society on the Randall's Island property and by the State on the Clarkson street property, which is of such material benefit to Tile City of New York that the mere value of one appraisal as an offset against the value of the other should not be strictly construed.

I was tinder the impression, from section 7 of the act, that the City, in addition to giving the Clarkson street property, would be expected to contribute money for the acquisition of the new property of the society, to be hereinafter located, and for the erection of buildings thereon, but I have been assured by Mr. Alexander E. Orr that such is not the case. and that the City will not be asked to contribute any part of the funds, the State furnishing the entire amount, and I respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, in accordance with such act, and its amendment, adopt a resolution authorizing an even exchange of the right, title and interest of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents of Randall's Island in the Borough of Manhattan, for the right, title and interest of The City of New York for the prop-erty desired in said act, known as the Clarkson street property, in the Borough of Brooklyn, now used by the State of New York for State hospital purposes, and that the contract, when so authorized, shall contain a clause which will provide for the use and occupation of the society of the lands on Randall's Island until the other lands mentioned and described in chapter 718 of the Laws of 1904, as amended, shall be ready for occupancy, sufficient to accommodate the inmates confined in the House of Refuge on Randall's Island, and also that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, in accordance with said act and amendment, authorize a lease of the property on Clarkson street, in said Borough of Brooklyn, for a period of five years, unless sooner terminated at the option of the said State of New York, on the same terms and conditions as were contained in the existing lease and renewals thereof, which expired on October I, rgo5.




Resolved, That, in accordance with section 7 of chapter 133 of the Laws of 1905, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, by unanimous vote, hereby authorize the Comp-troller to enter into the agreement as provided for in said section, for the exchange of the property on Randall's Island, now under the control and management of the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, for as much of the lands and buildings situated north of Clarkson street and extending from Albany avenue to Utica avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, City of New York, as may be desired or as are now used for State hospital purposes, under an expired lease from The City of New York, or as a potter's field by The City of New York, and that the contract when so entered into should provide for the use and occupation of the lands on Randall's Island until the other lands mentioned and described in chapter 718 of the Laws of 1904 and chapter 133 of the Laws of igo shall be ready for occupancy sufficient to accommodate the inmates confined in the House of Refuge on Randall's Island, or until they are removed to the new site to be selected in accordance with the provisions of said acts; and

Resolved, That the Corporation Counsel be and is hereby requested to prepare a proper deed of conveyance to the State of New York of the above mentioned property located north of Clarkson street, in the Borough of Brooklyn, so to be exchanged, and when so prepared and approved by the Comptroller of The City of New York, it shall be the duty of the Mayor of The City of New York and the City Clerk to execute and deliver the same to the State of New York; and be it further

Resolved, That until such time as the deeds shall be delivered, making and ratifying the exchange as provided in said acts, the Comptroller be and is hereby authorized to execute a lease to the State of New York of the Clarkson street property for the pur-

se for which it is now used, for a period not exceeding five years, unless sooner it rm;nated at the option of the State of New York, for the annual rental of $I, payable oolien legally demanded by the Comptroller of said City, and only in such event.

'I he report was accepted and the resolution unanimously adopted.

November 6, 1905. lieu. EDWARD N. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR-Peter J. McAvoy, Abraham P. McAvoy, Sarah Loretto Heilmeicr and Mary I. McAvoy. in a verified petition under date of October 9, 1905, make application for a release from The City of New York of all the right, title and interest of said City in and to a portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road, included within the lines of property owned by them, in the Borough of Brooklyn, which was acquired by one Sarah M. McAvoy, by deed to her from Leopold Michel and Simon Kronheim, dated April t5, 1901, and recorded in the office of the Register of Kings County in Liber 49, page t8, section r6, Block 1716, on April i5, 59o5.

'The petitioners state that all the taxes on said property have been paid and that the same is free and clear of all liens for taxes, water rates, etc., and that the petition-ers' testatrix had been in continuance of occupation of said property since acquiring the same, and that the lot for which a quit-claim deed is requested is an interior lot and has no frontage upon any street, and that they are willing to pay a nominal sum for a quit-claim deed, and the expense of the preparation of the papers necessary to effect a transfer to them of any right that the City may have in the premises requested to be released.

The Corporation Counsel, in an opinion under date of May 14, r9o2, in regard to the status of this old road, states in the matter of the application of John J. Moran (see Sinking Fund minutes, 1902, page 522) :

"This old road was established as a turnpike road known as the Wallabout Bridge road and running from the East river through the city of Brooklyn. In September, 1835, the city, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 188 of the Laws of 1835, purchased this turnpike to be used as a public street, and the expense of the purchase was assessed upon the adjoining land. Under chapter 132 of the Laws of 1835, Com-missioners were appointed to lay out streets and avenues in the city of Brooklyn, and these Commissioners, as part of their plan, determined to close the Wallabout road. This again was confirmed and declared valid and effectual by chapter 45 of the Laws of 1839. Ever since that time this land has been occupied by private owners."

I would therefore respectfully recommend that the matter be referred to the Cor-poration Counsel for his opinion as to whether the interest of the City in the premises is material or nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner. If he should certify that the interest of the City is nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner, pursuant to section 205 of the amended Greater New York Charter, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund may properly authorize a release or quit-claim for a nominal consideration to the said Peter J. McAvoy, Abraham P. McAvoy, Sarah Loretto Heilmeier and Mary E. McAvoy of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to all that portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road in front of the following-described property:

All that certain lot, piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in that part of The City of New York formerly known as the city of Brooklyn, County of Kings and State of. New York, known and distinguished on a certain map of property in the late Seventh (now Twenty-first) Ward, formerly belonging to Garrett Nostrand, made by Daniel Ewen, City Surveyor, and filed in the office of the Register of Kings County by the number itg, and bounded as follows: On the north by the Wallabout road on the said map twenty-six (26) feet five (5) inches; on the east by Lot No. i2o on said map ninety-seven (97) feet six (6) inches; on the south by Lot No. 124 on said map twenty-five (as) feet; and on the west by Lot No. ii8 on said map one hundred and six (to6) feet; -upott the condition that the petitioner shall produce evidence that all the taxes, assess-ments and water rates now a lien upon said premises, or any portion thereof, or any sale for non-payment of taxes, assessments and water rates upon said property, or any portion thereof, shall be paid before receiving such release from the City.

I would also recommend that if the Corporation Counsel shall decide that the interest of the City is not material and purely a cloud upon the title, that in view of the Circumstances involved in the petition as to the value of the parcel of land requested to be released, that the matter be presented to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund as to how much shall be charged for the quit-claim deed, for the expense of the release, examination, etc.



NEw YORK, November 22, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR-I have received your communication of November 4, 1905, transmitting for my consideration an application made to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund by Peter J. McAvoy, Abraham P. McAvoy, Sarah Loretto Heilmeier and Mary E. McAvoy, for a release of a portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road, in the Borough of Brooklyn, together with a report on the subject made to you by the Bureau of Real Estate of the Finance Department, and I am asked to advise you whether the interest of The City of New York in this piece of property is material or simply nominal and a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner. If the latter, you ask me to so certify, that the matter may be presented to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, pursuant to section 205 of the amended Greater New York Charter.

The status of this old road has been the subject of communications heretofore addressed to you, especially one under date May 14, 1902, relating to the application of John J. Moran. In that communication the Corporation Counsel held that the interest of the City in such road was merely nominal, and I respectfully refer you thereto for the reasons of such determination.

I therefore, in pursuance of the provisions of section 205 of the Greater New York Charter as revised, hereby certify that whatever interest The City of New York may have in and to that portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road in front of the following-described property is a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner, to wit:

All that certain lot, piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in that part of The City of New York formerly known as the city of Brooklyn, County of Kings and State of New York, known and distinguished on a certain map of property in the late Seventh (now Twenty-first) Ward, formerly belonging to Garrett Nostrand. made by Daniel Ewen, City Surveyor, and filed in the office of the Register of Kings County by the number jig, and bounded as follows: On the north by the Wallabout road on the said map twenty-six (26) feet five (5) inches; on the east by Lot No. 120 on said map ninety-seven (97) feet six (6) inches; on the south by Lot No. 124 on said man twenty-five (25) feet; and on the west by Lot No. Ii8 on said map one hundred and six (to6) feet.

I have prepared a proper deed of conveyance of said interest, which I transmit here-with, approved by me as to form, together with two copies thereof.

Respectfully yours, G. L. STERLING, Acting Corporation Counsel.

November_7, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

Stn-Peter J. McAvoy, Abraham P. McAvoy, Sarah Loretto Heilmeier and Mary•

E. McAvoy in a verified petition under date of October g, 19o5, made application for a

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1905. THE CITY RECORD . 10465

release from The City of New York in and to a portion of the old Wallahout 'Toll Bridge road included within the lines of property owned by them in the Borough or Brooklyn.

Under date of November 4, 1903. the matter was referred to the Corporation Ccimsel for an opinion as to whether the interest of the City in the premises was mnate-rial or nominal and a mere cloud on the title of a private owner, and the Corporation Counsel, in an opinion under date of November 22, 1905, states:

"In pursuance of the provisions of section 2os of the Greater New York Charter, as revised, hereby certify that whatever interest The City of New York may have in and to that portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road in front of the following

* * property is a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner." The question arose as to what charge the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund

should make for a release in this instance, and Mr. John O. Farrell, attorney for the petitioners, in a communication under date of October 30, 19o5, states:

"The value of this piece of land for which a deed is asked is hard to determine, but in proportion to the value of the balance of the lot, the value of this piece is about $30 * * * The lot is an interior one, shut in on all sides, and is therefore inacces-sible, so that any value that may be placed on it is really problematical."

The usual charge made by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund for a release of portions of old roads in the Borough of Brooklyn is $ioi, being an appraisal at the nominal sum of $I and the expense of such release, examination, etc., fixed at $ioo.

In this instance it is true that the strip requested to be released is a small interior parcel which is practically valueless, except to the petitioners. I would therefore respectfully recommend that the entire matter be referred to the Commissioners of the Sirking Fund as to the charge to be made for the release. If the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund are of the opinion that the regular charge be made, I herewith make that recommendation, and if the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund are of the opinion that the peculiar circumstances of this petition warrant a less price, I would respectfully recommend that a release be authorized to Abraham P. McAvoy, Sarah Loretto Heil-meier and Mary E. McAvoy, as executor and executrices, respectively, of Sarah M. McAvoy and Peter J. McAvoy individually of all the right, title and interest of The City of New Yolk in and to the portion of the old Wallabout Toll Bridge road in front of the premises in question, and that the interest of The City of New York in and to the same be appraised at the nominal sum of $i, and that the expense of such release, ex-amination, etc., be fixed at $io, to be paid by the petitioners upon the condition that the petitioner shall produce evidence that all the taxes, assessments and water rates now a lien upon said premises or any portion thereof, or any sale for non-payment of taxes, assessments and water rates upon said property or any portion thereof shall be paid before receiving such release from the City.



Resolved, That, pursuant to the provisions of section 205 of the Amended Greater New York Charter, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund by unanimous vote hereby authorize a release or quit-claim to Abraham P. McAvoy, Sarah Loretta Heil-ineier and Mary E. McAvoy, as executor and executrices, respectively, of Sarah M. McAvoy and Peter J. McAvoy, individually, of all the right, title and interest of The City of New York in and to that portion of the old Wallabout Tollbridge road in front of the following-described property:

"All that certain lot, piece or parcel of land situate, lying and being in that part of The City of New York formerly known as the City of Brooklyn, County of Kings and State of New York, known and distinguished on a certain map of prop-erty in the late Seventh, now Twenty-first, Ward, formerly belonging to Garret Nostrand, made by Daniel Ewen, City Surveyor, and filed in the office of the Register of Kings County by the No. 119 and bounded as follows:

"On the north by the Wallabout road on the said map, twenty-six (26) feet five L) inches; on the east by Lot No. Ito on said map, ninety-seven (97) feet six (6) inches; on the south by Lot No. 124 on said map, twenty five (25) feet, and on the vest by Lot No. 118 on said map, one hundred and six (Io6) feet,"

-the Corporation Counsel having certified under date of November 22, 1905, that what-evcr interest the City may have in the property is a mere cloud upon the title of a private owner.

Resolved, That the interest of The City of New York in and to the same be and is hereby appraised at the nominal sum of $I and the expense of such release, examina-tion, etc., be and is hereby fixed at $to, to be paid by the petitioners, and evidence produced that all taxes, assessments and water rates now a lien upon said premises, or any portion thereof, or any sale for the non-payment of taxes, assessments and water rates upon said property, or any portion thereof, have been paid before the execution

and delivery of such release. The report was accepted and the resolution unanimously adopted.

The Comptroller presented the following statement and offered the following reso-lution relative to the rental of premises No. 140 Amity street, Flushing, Borough of Queens, occupied by the Seventeenth Separate Company-Armory Board:

October 27, 1905. Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

SIR-The Board of Armory Commissioners at a meeting held July 31, 1905, adopted the following resolution:

"Resolved, That the Armory Board recommends the leasing of the premises now occupied as all armory by the Seventeenth Separate Company, Flushing, in the Bor-ough of Queens, known as No. 140 Amity street, being about 95 by 179 feet in size, from James V. Graham, the owner, at a rental of fifty dollars ($5o) per month for June, July and August, and two hundred and fifty dollars ($250) monthly thereafter, at the option of the Armory Board; lighting and heating the buildings upon said prem-ises during the term of occupancy by the said Seventeenth Separate Company, as well as the water charges (but not for the use of the other tenants), to be provided for by the City, and that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund be requested to concur in the same and the Comptroller be authorized to execute the lease."

An examination was made of the above premises and a report was made to the Board of Armory Commissioners in regard to the rental of the same.

There is no doubt that the rental of $50 per month for June, July and August is below the rental value of the premises, but that $250 per month thereafter is above a fair rental value.

This office is informed by General James McLeer that the premises will not be needed after January i, i906, and in view of the fact that the same is adaptable for its present use, and the cost of moving and fitting up new quarters for a short period would be considerable, pending the removal to the new armory at Flushing, the entire rental from June i, 1905, to January i, r906, considered as a whole, is reasonable.

The question has arisen as to what parties will pay for the expense of lighting~

heating and water charges of the building at such times when the armory is not used by the Seventeenth Separate Company, as this office has been informed, and the resolu-tion of the Armory Board so intimates, that the armory is used for other purposes.

This office received a communication from the captain commanding the company, in which the cost of lighting and heating is given. This matter was referred to the ~ Bureau of Lamps and Gas of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, and they were requested to furnish this office with an opinion as to the best method that could be adopted in order to definitely determine what would be the cost of light, heat and water as having accrued or to accrue. The answer, under date of November 27, is hereto annexed.

I would respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund approve of the hiring by the Board of Armory Commissioners of the premises No. 140 Amity street, Flushing, in the Borough of Queens, for the Seventeenth Separate Company, and authorize the Comptroller to pay the sum of $1,150 to James V. Graham, being the rent of said premises from June I, 1905, to January I, i906, without the necessity of entering into a lease, provided that the lighting and heating and water

charges of the building upon said premises, during the term of the occupancy by the said Seventeenth Separate Company, should be paid by The City of New York, but not while the said premises are used for other purposes, and that before the rent is paid computation should be made between the owners and the Chief Engineer of Light and Power of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity as to the amount of the bills which accrued while The City of New York was in actual occupation, and the amount of the bills when the premises were used for other than City purposes.

In regard to the coal used in the premises, I would recommend that before the rent is paid allowance should be made for the coal used while the City was not in actual occupation of the premises, and for the cost of labor in supplying the heat.




Resolved, That the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund hereby approve of the hiring by the Board of Armory Commissioners of premises No. 14o Amity street, Flushing, Borough of Queens, for the use of the Seventeenth Separate Company, and that the Comptroller be and is hereby authorized to pay to James V. Graham the sum of eleven hundred and fifty dollars ($I,ISo), less such sums as shall be determined by the Chief Engineer of Light and Power of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, as the amount which should be deducted for providing light, heat and water to said premises when the same is used for other than City purposes during the term of the occupancy by the Seventeenth Separate Company, from June 1, 19o5, to January i, 1906, without the necessity of entering into a lease.
