NEW YORK, May 21, 1883. To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen ..

GENTLEMEN—Several months ago a resolution, directing the Harlem Railroad Company to erect gates at the railroad crossing in the Twenty-third and Twety-fourth Wards, passed the Board of Aldermen and was signed by the Mayor.

As these gates have not yet been erected and as these open roadways are dangerous to the lives of children attending school, the School Trustees of the Twenty-fourth Ward respectfully petition that your Honorable Board adopt such measures as will compel respect for and obedience to the resolution for protection against this great danger.

Respectfully, SAMUEL M. PURDY, Chairman Trustees Twenty-fourth Ward.

erl H. MYERS, Clerk. Which was referred to the Department of Police, with the request to grant the prayer of the

petitioners. MESSAGES FROM HIS HONOR THE MAYOR.

The President laid before the Board the following message from his Honor the Mayor :

MAYOR'S OFFICE, NEW YORK, May 22, 1883. To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen:

I return, without my approval, the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, adopted May 8, 1883, authorizing the paving of Sixty-fourth street, from Tenth to Eleventh avenue, with Belgian or trap-block pavement.

At present, as I am informed, there are no houses fronting on this portion of Sixty-fourth street ; the sewer has not yet been built, nor has the gas-main been laid. Under these circumstances the work proposed in the above resolution should, in my opinion, be deferred until there is a greater demand for it, and until it can be done as a final completion of the street.

FRANKLIN EDSON, Mayor.

Resolved, That Sixty-fourth street, from the crosswalk at the westerly intersection of Tenth avenue to the crosswalk at the easterly intersection of Eleventh avenue, be paved with Belgian or trap-block pavement, under the direction of the Commissioner of Public Works; and that the accom-panying ordinance therefor be adopted.

Which was laid over, ordered to be printed in the minutes and published in full in the CITY RECORD.


MAYOR'S OFFICE, NEW YORK, May 22, 1883. To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen :

I return, without my approval, the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, adopted May 8,1883, declaring the sidewalks on Eighty-sixth street, between Eighth avenue and Riverside Drive, to be thirty feet wide, and permitting the owners of property on that part of the aforesaid street to inclose fifteen feet of the sidewalk for court-yard purposes.

As I understand it, this resolution authorizes the enclosure of a portion of the public street for private purposes, which, in my opinion, is at least an unwise proceeding; moreover, the fences which would enclose these court-yards would form an unlawful obstruction. Under the Charter the per-mission sought cannot, in my judgment, be granted.


Resolved, That the sidewalks on both sides of Eighty-sixth street, between Eighth avenue and Riverside Drive, be and are hereby declared to be thirty feet wide, and the owners of property on said street, between the points above indicated, are hereby permitted to inclose fifteen feet of such sidewalks for court-yard purposes ; the permission hereby granted to continue only during the pleasure of the Common Council.



To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen : MAYOR'S OFFICE, NEW YORK, May 22, 1883.

that the room now used as the Chamber of the Board of Aldermen be enlarged so as to Include the room recently occupied by the Keeper of the City Hall, that certain repairs be made in the City Library Room, and that the rooms occupied by the Clerk of the Board be provided with new locks and where necessary with new furniture.

I return, without my approval, the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, adopted May 8, 1883,

First. In the above resolution it is proposed to take the room heretofore assigned to the Judges of the Marine Court, without making other provision for their accommodation, to the great detriment of the business of that Court.

Secondly. The resolution directs that the expenditure of a considerable sum of money be made for furniture and for fitting up the City Library, which sum cannot in any event be charged, as directed, to the appropriation for " Public Buildings—Construction and Repairs."

Thirdly. The appropriation of money for such purposes is made to the Department of Public Works ; but, even if such appropriations be subject to the control of the Common Council, so large an expenditure of money should not, in my opinion, be authorized and undertaken without first knowing that the condition of the appropriation is such as to warrant it ; such are my reasons for declining to approve this resolution.

In returning it without my approval, I must admit the desirability of the proposed change in the meeting room of the Board of Aldermen, and of the proposed repairs to, and furniture for, the City Library room. It seems to me, however, that the proper way to proceed would be to request the Commissioner of Public Works to do the work at an expense not exceeding eight thousand dollars, if the condition of the appropriation for such work will admit of such an expenditure, and at the same time to provide other suitable accommodations for the Judges of the Marine Court. In such a pro ceeding I shall gladly co-operate with your Honorable Body. FRANKLIN EDSON, Mayor.

Resolved, That the room now used as the meeting room or chamber of the Board of Aldermen be extended by removing the partition separating it from the room recently occupied by the Keeper of the City Hall, and including that room as part of said chamber ; that additional seats be provided for members, the heads of the several departments, and spectators ; and that the chamber, when so enlarged, be fitted up, painted and furnished in an appropriate manner, using the present furniture and fixtures where available ; also, that the shelves, book-cases, etc., in the City Library room be painted, the floor recarpeted or covered with linoleum, new locks and keys provided where necessary, the chairs, tables, etc., be repaired, and the room generally improved in appearance ; also, that the necessary repairs be made to the office furniture in the offices of the Clerk of the Board, new locks and keys, etc., provided immediately, under the direction of the Commissioner of Public Works, to the satisfaction of the President of the Board of Aldermen, the expense not to exceed eight thousand dollars, to be charged to the appropriation for "Public Buildings--Construction and Repairs."

Which was laid over, ordered to be printed in the minutes and published in full m the CITY RECORD.

provisions of section 34, article IV. of the Revised Ordinances of the Common Council, and there-fore should not be permitted to erect the desired structure.

permitting Koster, Bial & Co. to erect a storm-door in front of their premises, No. 200 Worth street. The applicant for the permisoon indicated in the above resolution has failed to comply with the

I return, without my approval, the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, adopted May 8, 1883,

FRANKLIN EDSON, Mayor. Resolved, That permission be and the same is hereby given to Koster, Bial & Co. to erect a

storm-door, within the stoop-line, in front of their premises, No. zoo Worth street ; such permission to continue only during the pleasure of the Common Council.



To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen : MAYOR'S OFFICE, NEW YORK, May 22, 1883.

permitting butchers to drive cattle through certain portions of Eleventh avenue, Sixty-fifth street, First avenue and Forty-fifth street.

1 return, without my approval, the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, adopted May 8, 1883,

Because of the complaints of a large number of citizens, and because of the well-known danger, disturbance and annoyance caused by driving cattle at any hour of the day or night through the public streets, the Board of Health have heretofore made such regulations as were demanded by the people, and the suppression of this nuisance was approved at that time by all good citizens.

I believe that, should the permission indicated in the above resolution be granted, it would be a decided step backward ; the safety of our citizens and the value of property along the streets ought to have our first consideration, and this resolution seriously affects both.

In my opinion it would be opening the door to a dangerous and unwarranted precedent to grant the permission contemplated in this resolution.


Resolved, That permission be and the same is hereby given to butchers to drive cattle, between the hours of twelve and five o'clock every morning, in the Eleventh avenue, from Sixtieth to Sixty-fifth street ; thence through Sixty-fifth street to the First avenue ; thence through the First avenue to Forty-fifth street, and through Forty-fifth street to the East river ; such permission to continue only during the pleasure of the Common Council.

Which was laid over, ordered to be pnnted in the minutes and published in full in the CITY RECORD.

The Board met in their chamber, No. 16 City Hall.

1106 THE CITY RECORD. MAY 24, 1883.


MAYOR'S OFFICE, NEW YORK, May 22, 1883. To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen

I return, without my approval, the resolution of the Board of Aldermen, adopted May 8, 1883, permitting M. Thoesen to place a canvas awning across the sidewalk in front of his premises, No. 58 First avenue.

Section 291, article XXX. of the Revised Ordinances provides that in order to obtain the permis-sion indicated in the above resolution, the applicant must have the consent of the occupants of the premises on both sides of the proposed awning ; in this case, as I am informed, the occupants of the premises on one side makes decided objection to the awning which is contemplated. I there-fore think the desired permission should not be granted.

FRANKLIN EDSON, Mayor. Resolved, That permission be and the same is hereby given to M. Thoesen, to place a canvas

awning across the sidewalk in front of his premises, No. 58 First avenue ; such permission to con-tinue only during the pleasure of the Common Council.

The President laid before the Board the following communication from Messrs. Townsend and Beach :

NEW YORK, May 21, 1883. To the Honorable Board of Aldermen :

The undersigned, who have been retained professionally to represent the interests of the two clerks, Messrs. Emmett and Forrester, who were recently dismissed in a most summary manner from the Comptroller's office, deem it their duty to ask you to consider carefully whether or not the interests of this city do not demand a more thorough examination into the affairs of the Finance Department than will be aflorded by the mere examination into the subject of the recent frauds attributed to the late Mr. Carroll. The knowledge of these late frauds, which have but recently been made known to the Mayor, by the admission of the Comptroller, was known to him before or by the last election of city offices, and his neglect in not furnishing the details then must have mate-rially weakened the chances of discovering any combination which may have existed among parties to the fraud. We believe that the interests of our clients have been injured in this way, and from information which we have acquired from them we feel that we are justified in making this public request that you will urge upon the Mayor, by resolution, the importance of his requiring at once a complete examination of that Department.

Respectfully, JOHN D. TOWNSEND, Counsel for FRANK FORRESTER. W . A. BEACH, Counsel for W. C. EMMETT.

Hon. John Reilly, President Board of Aldermen. Which was referred to the Special Committee appointed at the last meeting, consisting of Alder-

men Cochrane, Wells, and Grant.
