Mr. JOHN II .Mr50NEV,II . Secre/r ry, Board of Prthl.1c Imuprovements: SIR -In reply to the action taken by the Board of Public Improvements, referring for report a

communication of the President of the Borough of The Bronx, that proceedings be initiated to acquire title to Nineteenth avenue, from the Bronx river to the Hutchinson river, Borough of The Bronx. I wish to state that the map, showing Nineteenth avenue, with all the necessary data to locate the same on the ground, is not filed as yet, and that proceedings to acquire title cannot be commenced.

The order to prepare the maps was given, as I stated in my report on the saute subject on October 29, Igoo, and a report and recommendation for opening will be made as soon as the maps are filed.

REDUCTION OF ASSESSMENT FOR OPINING LAFAYETTE AVENUE, BRONX

The following report from the Chief Topographical Engineer was read, and a hearing was fixed for January 30

TOPOGRAPHICAL BUREAU, NEW YORK, January 3, 1901,

Mr. JOHN 11. AIOONEY, Secretary, Board of Public Intprovcvtertls SIR—In reply to the action taken by the Board of Public Improvements, referring for report a

petition of Catherine M. Andrews, by John H. Judge, attorney, for reduction of assessment in the matter of acquiring title to Lafayette avenue, from the Southern Boulevard to Bronx river, Borough of The Bronx, I wish to state as follows :

The statements in paragraph I and paragraph 2 of the petition are correct, that of paragraph 3 is not, as regards to Lafayette avenue, being the only means of access from the Southern Boule-vard ; while a 6o-foot street would serve the property for a long time, yet the loo-loot street is necessary for the future development of the district.

In regard to the reduction of the assessment, it might be assumed that the City pay 40 per cent. of the total cost, which would be the same cost as if the street were 6o feet in width, and this suggestion is made since, in a number of cases, the Board of Public Improvements decided in favor of reducing assessments where the width of the street is graded at 6o feet.

I recommend that a public hearing be given in the matter, at which the Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment in this proceeding are requested to be present.

Papers in the matter are herewith returned. Respectfully,

LOUIS A. RISSE, Chief Topographical Engineer and Engineer of Concourse.

OPENING Two HUNDRED AND NINETEENTH AND Two HUNDRED AND TWENTIETH STREETS, MANHATTAN.

The following protests were referred to the President-ot the Borough of Manhattan and to the Engineer of Street Openings :

To the Board of Public Improvements, lion. MAURICE F. HOLAHAN, President:

The petition of the undersigned executor of the estate of Isaac M. Dyckman, deceased, respectfully shows to your Honorable Body that the land lying between the centre line of Two Hundred and Eighteenth street on the south and the centre line of Ishant street on the north, the westerly line of Broadway on the east and the Harlem Ship Canal on the west is the property of said estate ; that there are no other owners within said boundaries ; that within said boundaries lie the proposed streets, Two I-Iundred and Eighteenth, Two Hundred and Nineteenth and Two Hundred and Twentieth streets.

That ordinances have been passed for opening and acquiring title to Two Hundred and Eighteenth, Two Hundred and Nineteenth and Two Hundred and Twentieth streets through said land.

That Two Hundred and Eighteenth street being a boundary between this and adjoining prop-erty, the opening thereof is not objected to by your petitioners.

And your petitioners further show that there is no necessity to be accommodated by the open-ing of Two Hundred and Nineteenth or Two Hundred and Twentieth streets, as your petitioners are the sole owners of the land through which said streets are laid out west of Broadway.

Wherefore the undersigned respectfully petition your Honorable Board to rescind the resolu-tion directing the Corporation Counsel to take proceedings for the appointment of Commissioners of Appraisal in the matter of opening said Two Hundred and Nineteenth and Two Hundred and Twentieth streets.

(Copy.) LAW DEPARTMENT,

OFFICE OF THE CORPOeATION COUNSEL, NEW YORK, December 3, 1900.

//on. \\'n.C.Csxf D.ALTON, Commissioner of Il'ah-r Supb/,j- : DEAR Ste-I have received your communication of -November 2t, 1900, which reads as

follows : '• In my Departmental Estimate, dated September 8, 190x, of the amounts required to con-

duct the put,lic hu inrss under the charge of the Department for the year 1901, 1 ask for the sum of $42,015 fur • Rentals of Fire-hrdrats,' to l-e paid to private %vat r comp flies in the Borough of (,oueens fur hydrant service, in accordance wRIt the terms of existing contracts with such couo- pan its.

" My Departmental Estimate for this appropriation for Igoo was $37,350, and the amount allowed .n the Final E-tima e for Ii oo was $35.x)0. The mcrea-e of $7,018 asked for in the Departmental Estimate for 19,1 pruvided for au,utional hydrants to be placed in the extension of boater-n am, and i% ater .er,ice by the sever.,l companies Suomi, the ensuing year, as follows

•' The Queens Cumt , y Vs at r Supply Company, 4o additional hydrants. '• The Jut, a \\ ater Supply- Co pany, 6o addfiti anal h)drant,. •• The ( itizcns' Rater Supply to mpa y, Ioo adrtitioaaI lr dr,,nts.

1 he \V rr-dhaven \1 ater mupp'y Cowpany, 60 additrnnal hydrants. tin the P ,visional Estimate for 19 1, the Board of 1•srimare and Apportionment made

allow.tnce only for the ,.,me apfrr pnation as for 1900, viz., 535,0 ,0, Laving out any allowance for addottanal hvn,r.0 ts, and this Pruvtaional Estimate was approved by the '\Iumiicipsl Assembly in meeting on the 20th ins ant.

"The question thus arises whether the Board of Public Improvements and this Department have the power to create any liai ,ilities against the City for additional hydrant service beyond the appropriation thus fixed, in connection with necessary extensions of the water-mains and water service of these companies, or whether the Board and this Department should withhold author-ization and permits for Crater-main extensions which involcc additional tire-hydrant service and expenditure beyond the limits of the appropriation.

" dly advise me on this question at your early convenience." In reply thereto I would say that by section 226 of the Greater New York Charter it is pro-

vided that the Board of Estimate and Apportionment shall meet annually between the 1st day of October and the 1st day of November to make a budget of the amounts estimated to be required to pay the expenses of conducting the public business of The City of New York for the then next ensuin;; year, and that such budget sit ill be prepared in such detail as to the aggregate strut and the items thereof allowed to each department, bureau, office, board or commission as the said Poatrl of L{stitiate and Apportionment shall deem advisable. It is also provided that, in Order to enable the said Board to. make up such budget, the heath of departmnents, bureaus, offices, boards and commissioars shall send to the said Board an estimate in writing of the amount of expenditures, specifying in detail the objects thereof, required in their respective departments, bureaus, offices, boards and coutntissions.

iiy section 235 it is provided that the said Board of Estimate and Apportionment stay, from time to time, on the application of the head of any department, authorize the transfer, from one bureau or purpo-c to anulh:-r in the same department, of any sum theretofore appropriated fur the purpose of such department.

These provisions clearly call for an appropriation for each particular purpose or item required for the respective purpose of which the head of a department, bureau, etc., has cog-nizance and control ; and the fact that the Board of Estimate anti Apportionment is authorized by the latter section to tr nsfer an appropriation made for one purpuse to be used in the carne department would show Ihat unless ,o transferred any appropriation must be used for llte specific object for tthich it was niar!e.

By section 1541 of the Charter it is provided that : '' No expense shad be iucttrred by any of the departments, boards or officers thereof unless

an appropriation shall have hecu previously made covering such expense, nor any expense in excess of the suur appropriated in accordance with law."

By section 1542 it is provided that : " It shall he the duty of the heads of all departments of said city-, and of all boards and.

officers charged with the duty of expending or incurring obligations payable out of the monei s raised by tax in said city, so to regulate such expenditures for any purpose or object that ti e same shall not in any one year exceed the amount appropriated by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment for such pure xc• or object ; and no charge, claim or liability shall exist or arise against said city for any sum in excess of the amount appropriated for the several purpose,. "

fu view of these provisions, I am of the opinion that neither the Board of Public Imfrove-ments nor your Department has the power to create liabilities for additional hydrant service beyond the appropriation allowed for that purpose by the Board of Jb,ttntate and Apportionment.

I would s.my, in addition, that if the sole purpose of the water-main extensions mentioned in your vol uo nor c itiun is to provide additional fire- hyd rant service, I would advise you to withhold such authorization and permits for such purpose. I do not see, however, how water-train exten-sions tvouid necessarily Involve additional fire-hydrant service, unless its extensions are made f,-r that express purpose only.

Very respectfully, (Signed) JOHN WHALEN, Corporation Counsel.

by the railroad company for rile distance shuwu on an accompanying sketch. I also requested that action be taken to establish a fence line in compliance with the railroad company's request.

In response to my cote uunicatrou I received, under date of the 15th instant, with a communi-cation from the Secretary of the Board, a copy of a report by Chief Topographical Engineer Ri-se, to the effect that he found on the new tax maps of the Second VVard, Borough ul Riehruond, on page 4, volume t, that the property in question is shown as belonging to the railroad corn-patty, and that on the tax reaps of the former Town of Middletown, page I, a connecting street, between )rfintnorne street and Bay street is shutcn, which the railroad company seem, to claim as its property.

Engineer Risse's report offers no solution of the matter, and I respectfully renew my request of July 23 for the establishment of a fence line, as asked for by the railroad company.

Hon. MAURtCE F. HOLAHAN, /'resident, board of 1'ub/ic Improvements : DEAR SIR-Under date of December 7 the Secretary of the Board forwarded to this Depart.

nrent for investigation and report a resolmion of the Municipal Assembly recommending that the carriageway of Bridge street, from Broad to \Vhitehall street, Borough of Manhattan, be repaved with a-phalt on the present pavement.

In reply, I beg to say I have made an investigation and find that at present that section of Bridge street is paved with oblong granite blocks laid in 1890, and now in fair condition. The rate of grace is 1.7 per cent. ano the establt,Jmeu cost of an asphalt pavement laid on the present pavement as a foundation and with a guarantee of maintenance from the contractor for a period of ten years is $3.500•

At present there is no money to pay for the improvement, and there are many other streets the defective condition of which would entitle them to prior consideration if money were available.

Bon, MAURICE F. HOLAIHAN, President, Board of Public Improvements : DEAR SIR-On January 26, 190o, the Secretary of the Board forwarded to this Department,

for investigation and report, a resolution adopted by the Local Board of the Twenty-first District, Borough of The Bronx, recommending that the vacant lot at the southwest corner of One Hundred and Fitly-sixth street and Jackson avenue be fenced, and that the sidewalk in front of the same premises be repaired.

MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1901. THE CITY RECORD. 223

In reply, I beg to report that the conditions, which it is the object of the resolution of the Local Board In remedy, have been caused by the commencement of the construction of a building and the suspension of the work, which has not yet been completed.

In its present state the lot should be fenced and the sidewalk in front thereof should be repaired; therefore I recomthend that the work be authorized.

The estimated cost is $200 and the assessed value of the real estate within the probable area of assessment is $1,125.

RI:t'ORIS FROM COMMISSIONER OF SEWERS.

The following cot communicationiii from the Commissioner of Sewers was read :

DEPARTMENvr OF SPWERS, January 2, IgoI.

lion. iIAt'ItICE F. l Iut.AIIAN, 1'cesir/c nl, Board of Pub/lc In,,pr<m'eozeuls : I)r.AR SIR—I forward herewith, for the consideration of your I-tonorable Board, the application

of Michael I. Leahy, contractor for sewer in East One lluodlreq and Seventy fifth street, from existing sewer in Jerome avenue to Morris avenue, and in Morris avenue, etc., which contract is dated March 17, 1898, for a remission of overtone on said work. I also trammit copies of reports and recommendations from the Engineer in Charge and the Deputy Commis'iouei of Sewers of the Borough of The Bronx, which report contains a full and detailed statement of the time the con-tractor consumed in completing the work, and details the difficulties he encountered in the prose-cution of same.

Briefly stated, it appears that the time allowed to complete the work was 175 clays and that the total time of Inspect.rrs on work was 1,182 clays, an overtime of 1,007 (lays. An allowance of 267 clay, is made for rainy and unsuitable weather as reported by Inspectors, as specifically pro-vided for in the contract, and this being deducted leaves a net overtone of 7193/i (lays.

The Engineer recommends, on account of eight different reasons which are mentioned in detail in his report, an allowance of 333i dayo, which will heave a balance of 386 days at the rate of $4 per day to be charged to the contractor.

In view of the fact that the original time of 175 clays allowed was not, in my judgment, sufficient, and that the contractor was subjected to considerable delay and difficulty for which he was not responsible, I concur with the recommendations of the Engineer and Deputy Commissioner of Sewers of the Borough of The Bron.a.

Yours respectfully, JAS. KANE, Commissioner of Sewers.

am oust of the grail in there was an excess It all material to excavate and refill, amounting to a little !ess than 2,500 cubic yards.

I believe that an allowance of one clay fur every ten linear feet of trench would be lair, nial.lug an allowance of Ito clays.

'There were al;o 450 fret of this trench out which had to I.e sheeted f in the same reason, for winch I would recoinineI rh an arlditi ual allowance of eo days. (I its covers paragraphs six and sewn of Mr. Le,thy'..s letter) ................ 170

8th. The dcl ,y caused by taking up Lmber foundation (referred to by \l r. Leahy as sewer) amp relaying the same was due to the pact that the tim her had been nu- properly laid and conrrnry to the instructions of the Engineer.

'rile contractor dnsa:o_geti the foreman who was in charge of this work. I can recommcml no allowance of time on this account.

qth. There was a delay of t5 diys nn account of care fulexanunation of bottom, in order 10 determine the feasibility of contu iii ing work south of manhole No.24, before the ;ante was stopped. During this time the Contractor was compelled to keep a steam pump going

It should be borne in mind that, by the modification of this contract, about goo feet of sewer in the original plan were not huill, and when the coutiactor big 175 days to complete this contract in, lie anticipated the building of this g::o meet.

to conclusion, I would state that it Ia evident, oil the fact of it, that the time bid (175 days) was entirely inadequate for a work of this size, as the work .:ompri-cd about 9co linear fee, of sewer, and, in order to have completed this work in I So rlay~, a• Mr. Italic claims in his letter, lie would have had to build 6o line.tr feet ot sewer per day. His claim that he could have done this with ore Inspector is hardly to he entertained.

224 THE CITY RECORD. MONDAY, JANUARY 14, 1901.

(Copy.) DI!cE~I I;Ek 28, 1900.

lion. THovns J. BYRNE, I),putl' of Se~o,rs: ])EAR SIR--I received from you on November 20, tgoo, an order to have prepared estimate of

cost and assessed valuation of property benefited for temporary sewers arid appurtenances in West Farms road, fron, Bronx street to Classon avenue Classon avenue, from \V'e,t Farntm road to Beacom street St. Lawrence avenue, from \Vest Farms road to Beacon street ComulontredItb avenue, front \Vest Farms road to Beacon street ; and in Rosedale avenue, from West Farms road to Beacon street. In regard to the above I beg to call your attention to the following facts The streets covered by this order lie in the Annexed District east of the Bronx river, and

have not as yet even been a,lopted by the Board of Public Improvements, and it is certain that some of them will eventually he wiped out by the new lay-out being prepared by the Topo-graphical Bureau of the Board of Public Impruven,ents.

Unless the City acquire. title to these streets, covered by this order, it would be impossible to let a contract for building these sewers unless there were obtaine.l the consents of all the abutting property-owners on all of the streets covered. It would, of course, not be our affair to obtain these consents, but it would devolve upon the people interested in these sewers to get them, and I think great diAiculty would he found in doing this.

I believe the only other way to let contracts for building sewers in these streets (under an opinion of the Corporation Counsel) would be to prove that these streets have been opened twenty years, which. its this is a newly-developed te-ritorv. in this case v uld be Impossible.

Further, the Chief Engineer of the Topo,taphiral Bureau of the Board of Public Tml)rore_nients is at present prepa ing plans for the drainage system covering this whole district and including a large outlet seller emptying ea'terly into Westchester creek.

The temporary sewers which we could build new under this order (providing we had title for these streets) would empty in an exactly oppo,ite direction and he carried across the Bronx river and would flow in a direction a ainst the natural lay of the land, and would, therefore, for a temporary system, be eztremely expensive, and, in fact, almost piohibitorily so.

In order to prepare the prelim nary r.timate of cost for these sewers, as per this order, cov-ering as they do quite a territory, it will ncceiiate the sounding of these streets, and also making the necessary preliminary surveys, which, in this case, would have to be quite comprehensive, as there are no monuments in this territory or sufficient data to work upon.

Consequently, the fillip, of this order would cost this Department one or two thousand dollars. ']'his would seem to me to be a needles- expenditure of money, just now, in view of the fact that, should the preliminary estimate of cost be furnished, and then plans be prepared, there would be grave doubt as to whether the City could actually build these sewers for it long period of time, if indeed, they were ever built.

In view of all the above, I res actfully ask permission to postpone Cite carrying out of this order for the present, and woad ask if it would be possible to have this matter resubmitted to the Board of Public Improvements with a recommendation that they be reconsidered.

Re.pectfuily, (Signed) J. H. FI"FCH, Engineer in Charge.

p. C. —I attach to this a small map showing the streets covered by this order. The streets colored red are those adopted to date by the Board of Public Improvements.

Bdn. MAURICE F. IIOLAHAN, President, Board of PidVic Improemen/s, No.,. 13 to 21 Park Row, City:

DEAR SIR—Ilerewith I have to submit, for recommendation to the Municipal Assembly, amended rules of this Department for an ordinance for the construction, care, maintenance and operation of poles, wire-, conduits, subeays and other electrical appliances in, on, over and under the streets, or in buildings, in The City of New York, in place of those now pending before the Municipal Assembly, and which have not been acted upon by that body.

Similar rules and regulations were submitted to your Board early in last year, and were transmitted by it to Cite Municipal Assembly, where the Law Committee has been laboring with them ever since.

The corrections and alterations made in the new form, I believe will meet with the approval of the Muncipal Assembly, A, hick is my reason for submitting them to you in the amended form.

Re-pectfully yours. IIhNRV- S. KEARNY, Commissioner.

The following resolution was then adopted :

Resolved, That the following ordinance, entitled :\ general ordinance enacting rules and regulations for the construction, care, maintenance and operation of p den, wires, conduits, suh-ways and other electrical appliances, in, on, over or under the streets, or in buildings in The City of New York, having duly originated with the department concerned, be hereby approved by the Board of Public Improvements and recommended to the Municipal Assembly for immediate adoption.

Section r. - o wires, cables or other electrical conductors shall be placed in any subways, conduits or ducts now consrcted or hereafter to be constructed, without the written consent of the Commissioner of Public Buildings. Lighting and Supplies being first obtained. Whenever any duly authorized corporation or person desires, or is required to place electrical conductors underground, application must be niaihe to the Commis-ioner of Public Buildings, Lighting and Supplies on forms provided for that purpose, for such accommodation as may be desired; and if the Commissioner acts upon such application favorably he will direct the Subway Company to furni>h the required accommodation in the event that the unused facilities of existing subways are insufficient to meet legitimate requirements.

APPLICATIONS FOR SPACE.

Sec. 2. All applications for space in any subway shall be made in oriting to the Subway Company owning the same and shall give

The name of the applicant ; The purpose for which the use of the conduit or conduits is desired The number, material and dimensions of conductors proposed to be placed therein; The arrangement of said conductors, whether singly or in cables, and if in cables, the num-

ber of conductors and their disposition in each cable ; The maximum electro-motive force to be used on said conductors The nature of the insulating material or materials to be employed, and Such other specific information as will fully explain the use to be made of the space desired. When applications have been made and space assigned for conduits underground, the written

consent of the Commissioner must be obtained before any conductors are placed in the space so assigned.

REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS OF CONDUCTORS.

3. All applications for permits to stake repairs or alterations in conductor.; in the subways shall he made in writing to the Subway Company, and shall give

The name of applicant ; A complete identification of the conductor or conductors referred to, and of the particular

as may be necessary or expedient to protect the conductors of other parties front injury. Tempo-rary joints shall not be permitted unless properly insulated and protected.

INSULATION AND TESTS.

5. All conductors drawn into and opereted in the conduits, and intended to convey current of two or more antpetes with an electro-motive force exceeding one hundred (too) volts, shall have withstood at the factory or power-station a test for '' breaking down " strength at an electrical pressure of at least two and one-half times greater than the maximum electrical pressure to which the said conductors shall he subjected in actual operation and shall have, when laid and connected in subways, at a temperature of 75 degrees Fahr., an initial insulation resistance of not less than 15 megohms, per mile, per hundred volts electro-motiveforce on the circuit. When ever the insu-lation resistance of a conductor as aforesaid shall prove to be less than five (5) megohms, per mile, per one hundred volts, the ttse of that conductor shall at once cease, unless the actual electro. motive force on such conductors be reduced so as to re-establish the foregoing ratio.

6. The insulation resistance per mile length of all branches and feeders of the twain con. ducturs shall at least equal that of the respective conductors to which said branches and feeders are connected.

.De!er,ni:tion of Resistance and Tests. 7. The insulation resistance of each length of cable or conductor shall be determined before

said length is laid in the subway. In making this determination an electro-motive force of not less than Igo volts shall be employed and the minimum initial resistance as provided in section 5 shall not be diminished through and after an immersion of the conductor under test of at least sixty consecutive hours ill salt water, All lines shall be tested fir insulation resistance immediately after completion in the subtway, and those carrying currents of over two amperes shill be tested thureaficr at least weekly. A conductor shall be tested for insulation resistance immediately after any new connection with, addition or repair to, or alteration of any sort in, said conductor is made, and also whenever any other conductor is placed in the same duct; conductors conveying currents of less than two ampere at a pressure of less than one bundled (100) volts are excepted from the rule.

The inspector is also charged with the enforcement of all rules relating to the use of the subway, and he may suspend any employee of the tenant engaged oil the work connected with the subways who violate any of these rules and regulations.

'hhe Contmis~ioner of Public Buildings, lighting and Supplies, or the Subway Company, by a properly authorized agent, shall have authority to require such alterations in conductors as may be deemed necessary for their safety or the safety of the subways or of the adjacent conductors ; and also to cause the current in any conductor to be interruuted or reduced for such period of the time as hiay be requisite in the judgment of said agent for the proper protection or neces-sary convenience of persons working in the manholes, or upon the subways in the vicinity of said conductor.

Tags must be placed on all cables for identification.

MANHOLE GUARD FRAMES.

i2. Whenever a manhole is opened, the tenant shall place an iron guard frame in the street opening. When mattlwles are opened, before commencing work the tenant shall satisfy himself that they are free from gas, and if not, he shall ventilate the manholes. The Subway Company will provide for such purposes a fan or blower to be operated by the applicant for such time as may, in the judgment of his authorized representative, be sufficient to clear the manholes of gas to such an extent as to render it sale for his workmen to enter therein ; and no light shall be u,ed by the tenant in his operations in the manholes except when the above examination has shown the absence of gas. If, after the first ventilation, gas is noticed, the tenant shall cause the ventilation to be continued.

WATCHMEN ON THE SURFACE,

13. In all work conducted in the manholes, one man shall always be provided by the tenant to act as watchman on the surface at each manhole when open, who shall keep constant guard and warn pedestrians, drivers of carriages, trucks, street cars, etc., and who shall assist the subway-inspector in whatever the latter requires in emergency.

Smoking in or around manholes is prohibited. No one under the influence of liquor shall be allowed to engage in the work in the subway.

PROTECTION AGAINST DUST AND WIND.

14. No cover of any kind whatsoever shall be allowed by the tenant to be placed over the manhole opening ; but a shield may be placed around the windward hall of the iron frame to protect the workmen from dust and wind.

GENERAL PLAN to\itRtiNG THE ARRANGEMENT OF RULES.

Class A.-Central stations, dynamo, motor and storage-battery rooms, transformer sub-stations, etc. Rules I to II.

Class 11.-Outside work, all systems and voltages. Rules 12 and 13.

Class C.-Inside work. Rules 14 to 39, Subdivided as follows : General Rules, applying to all systems and voltages. Rules 14 to 17. Constant-current systems. 1-i tiles tS to 20. Coustant-potential systems-

GENI:RA1. Soc:cicsrlua,.

In all electric work conductors, however well insulated, should always be treated as bare, to the end that under no conditions, existing or likely to exit, can a grounding or short circuit occur, and so that all leakages from conductor to c nductor, or between conduct(,r and ground: may be reduced to the miniivam.

In all wi ring sp_cial attention must be paid to the mechanical execution ut the work. Careful and neat running, connecting, soldering, taping of conductors and securing and attaching of fittings, are specially conducive to security and efliciency, and will be strongly insisted on.

In laying out all installation, except forconstant-current systems, the work should, if possible, be started front a centre of distri lion inu, and tlte switches and cut-outs, controlling and connected witlt the several branches, be grouped together in a safe and easily accessible place, where they can be readily got at for attention or inpau-;. "I he load should lie divided as evenly as possible among the l,ranches, and all complicated and unnecessary wiring avoided.

The use of wire-way, for rendering concealed wiring permanently accessible is moat heartily indorsed and rea>nnncncle, l ; and this method of accessible concealed construction is advised for general use.

Architects are urged, when drawing plans and specifications, to make; provision for the than -nelirug and pocketing of buildings for electric light or power wires, and in specifications for electric gas lighting to require a two-wire circuit, whether the building is to be wired for electric lighting or not, so that no part of the gas fixtures or gas piping hi - allowed to be used for the gas-lighting circuit.

Deviation- from these rules and regulations may only be made l,y the Commissioner having jurirdI'tiou.

Ctu rein t must never be introduced on any eke Iinil wiring, machinery or apparatus installed in any building in 'l he City of New York iviI1tmut first obtaining a certificate from the Department of tunsne Buildings, l.igRdu;; and Supplies.

RECORD. 229

gripped between the screw and the lug in such a way that it cannot possibly come out, is strongly advised.

i. Lamp Holder-The socket must firmly hole] the lamp in place so that it cannot be easily jarred out, and must pro%ide a contact good enough to prevent undue heating with maximum current allowed. The holding pieces, springs and the like. if a part of the circuit, must not be sufficiently exposed to allow then to be brought in contact with anything outside c!` Lump and socket.

J. The inside parts of the socket, which are of insulating material, except the lining, must be made of porcelain.

k. Key-The socket key handle must be of such a material that it will not soften from the heat of a 50-candle-power lamp, hanging downward in air, at 7o degrees Fahrenheit, trout the socket, and must be securely, but not necessarily rigidly, attached to the metal spindle it is designed to turn.

1. Scaling-All screws in porcelain pieces, which can be firmly sealed in place, must be so sealed by a waterproof compound which will not melt below 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

w. Putting Together-The socket must, as a whole, be so put together that it will not rattle to pieces. Bayonet joints or equivalent are recommended.

n. Test-The socket, when slowly turned "on and off" at the rate of about two or three times per minute, must "make and break " the circuit 6,000 times before failing, when carrying a load of one ampere at 220 volts.

o. Keyless Sockets-Keyless sockets of all kinds must comply with requirements for key sockets as tar as they apply.

_p. Sockets of Insulating Materials-Sockets made of porcelain or other insulating material must conform to the above requirements as far as they apply, and all parts must be strong enougir to withstand a moderate amount of hard a-age without breaking.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM PRESIDENT OF BROOKLYN.

The following communication from the President of the Borough of Brooklyn was read

Cl'IY OF New YORK-BOROUGH OF BROOKLYN, OFFICE OF TILE PRESIDENT OF THE BOROUGH,

December 31, I900. 111 Board of Pat tie ImJiror emerrts

GENTLEMEN-The Local Board of the Ninth District, Borough of Brooklyn, after hearing had at a meeting held on December 29, Igoo, duly advertised, adopted the following :

" Resolved, That the Local Board of the Ninth District, Borough of Brooklyn, hereby rescinds the following resolution adopted on July 7, t899 :

' Resolved, That the Local Board ot the Ninth District, Borough of Brooklyn, after hearing had this 7th day of July, 1899, deenjing it for the public interest so to do, hereby recommends to the Board of Public Improvements of The City of New York that proceedings be initiated to regulate, grade and pave Nichols avenue with asphalt pavement, between Jamaica avenue and Atlantic avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, and to set or reset curb, and flag or reflag sidewalks of said street where not already done.'

The following resolution was also adopted : " Resolved, That the Local Board of the Ninth District, Borough of Brooklyn, after hearing

had this 29th day of December, too, deeming it for the public interest so to do, hereby recom-mends to the Board of Public Improvements of The City of New York that proceedings be initiated to regulate and grade Nichols avenue, between Jamaica avenue and Atlantic avenue, in the Borough of Brooklyn, and to set or reset curb, pave gutters and pave sidewalks with cement of said street where not already clone."

The above action was taken by the Local Board because of the fact that the lowest bid of any of the asphalt companies for the grading and paving of Nichols avenue, setting curbstones and flagging sidewalks between limits described, was so excessive that the assessment on the property benefited would have amounted to about $260 per lot. The Department of Highways has already rejected this bid. As the City is at present at the mercy of the asphalt companies, the Local Board of the Ninth District determined that it would not be wise at the present time to asphalt the street. It therefore recommended the rescinding of the proceedings instituted in 1899, and now recommends that new proceedings be initiated for grading the street, setting curb-stones and flagging sidewalks.

Inclosed is copy of report from the I)epartment of Highways. Yours respectfully,

EDWARD M. GROUT, President of the Borough.

The following resolution was thereupon adopted : Resolved, That the resolution adopted by this Board on July 26, 1899, for the regulating,

grading and paving of Nichols avenue, between Jamaica and Atlantic avenues, in the Borough of Brooklyn, be and the saute hereby is rescinded.

The matter was then referred to the Commissioner of Highways for a report on the amended resolution of the Local Board.

BOROUGH OF BROOKLYN, December 31, 1900, Board of Public Impro✓enrenes

GENTLEMEN-The Local Board of the Ninth District, Borough of Brooklyn, after hearing had at a meeting held on December 29, Igoo, adopted the following:

" Whereas, The lowest bid made by,any of the asphalt companies in the asphalt monopoly for the grading and paving of Nichols avenue, between Jamaica avenue and Atlantic avenue, was exor-bitant to an extent that amounted to attempted extortion ; and

" Whereas, The asphalting of streets with concrete foundation in this borough now costs in the neighborhood of $3 per square yard, while in the City of Brooklyn prior to consolidation such work was done at from $1.25 to $1.75 per square yard, thus enabling the City to do practically twice as much paving and repaving as is now done with the money expended ; and

"Whereas, The City of New York is about to spend $2,000,000 for repaving, of which $700,-coo will be used in the Borough of Brooklyn ; be it therefore

"Revolved, That the Local Board of the Ninth District, Borough of Brooklyn, which has this day initiated the rescinding of proceedings for paving Nichols avenue with asphalt on account of the extortionate bid made by a member of the asphalt monopoly, hereby recommends to the Board of Public Improvements that steps beat once taken by the City to establish an asphalt plant of its own in the Borough of Brooklyn and in the other boroughs of the City tithe local authorities of such boroughs so desire, "

ToPOGRAP}IICAI. BUREAU, January 2, 1901. Mr. JOHN H. MOONEY, S'enretary, Board oJ Public I/luprovtv/1'nts

SIR-In reply to the action taken by the Board of Public Improvements, referring for report a communication from the Commissioner of Bridges and transmitting a plan for a new bridge as a substitute for the old bridge over the Gowanus canal at Ninth street, in the Borough of Brooklyn, I have to state as follows:

I have examined the plan of the Commissioner of Bridges for the new bridge across Gowanus canal at Ninth street, and have to state that the constutction if the bridge, as shown on said plan, requires that private property on the northwestern side of Ninth street has to be acquired by the City, on which property the bridge will rest when opened for the passage of vessels.

The grade at the crossing at Ninth -treet and the Gowanus canal is not legally established as yet, but a study for the same is under way in the Topographical Bucau.

The grade, as in existence at the present time, can probably be retained. I recommend that the plan of locating the bridge and the acquisition of additional property for

the same be approved. Papers in the matter and the blue print returned.

Respectfully, LOUIS A. RISSE,

Chief Topographical Engineer and Engineer of Concourse.
