To THE hon THE BoARp OF ASSIST ANT ALDgR-
MEN OF TIE Cry OF Nkw York
GBrTLEAsN-l return herewith resotstiou d.
reoiDg the Commissioners OF tue Sinking Fand 10
postpone, until further directed by the Common
Coun Gil. the sale OF the wharyes a7d piers
which have been advertised 70 take pla,e on the
2lst inst Withous entering at all UPON the
question as to the right Of the Csunon
slopers % the Sinking Fund, whose powers and da-
tics defined by laws OF the State, | would briefly
subait the reasons which impel me to withhold my
ass, NJ from the resolution.
Itpd. by referoace TO Tho Comotroller's report
for 1851 that the vau Of tho and piers,
exclusive Of those used tor ferry purposes, Is rot
down At So 25S O00 the re ue derived from them
is stated AZ 80! 700 OIL viii IN, 81 best, is very
snail interest on the amount Of capital invested.
Further eSanlinat0 however ciscloFes tina. during
the same y-sr. there was xpended on them for
repsirs. $74 500 40; for CLEANING ~ 290; aad for
sasrss 81 600, making total OF 655, 40 ~. whsa,
decuatsd from the aseuned smount of revenue,
leaves the cum Of $l2 4bJ o., AZ she interest on
capital Of So 25S coo
With such state Of facts before mo, felt 1t my
duty in w last snrusl message, TO urge the i'm
mediate sale OF the wDsrves ano piers uoisss soma
means could bs devised TO make them ieid revs-
nue. Commensurate With their value; and as sash
means have not been devise1, tho Com misgoDers Of
the Sinking Fund haze, in my jaFgnsni c,asuSsd
the best interests Of the oily by Directing heir sale.
While the amount thus derived wall add largely 70
the srkirg fund pledged for the city deo,. The
whs,yss ard piers being Vested in private parties,
viii be added 20 the taxable property of the oit7,
ard thus tighten The enormous burthea OF taxstion
so Loudly and justly complained OF.
Under tnose Circumstances, return the resolution
for reconsideration, and trugr tina. more mature
Fiction will ccnvipca your honorable body OF The
p,opriety, expedieocy and policy Of the oouree
adopted by the Commissioners ofthe Sink ing Fun1.
