A communication was received from the same
copy Of the lease of Reservoir Square to Edward
Ro"le for five years, for the Industrial Exhibition,
a debate ensued, in which Alderman Morr said
that the exhibition, In the hands Of Mr.. Barnum,
had been conducted in manner which was not con-
templated by the lease. Had tho people known
that such change would take place. they nor their
repr sentatives never would have consented to give
up Reservoir square for the purposes to which Mr..
Baxnnm had devoted il. The lease specifies that
tho admission price ut all times should not exceed
80 cents, but, In the hands of Mr.. Bamum, 81 and
q so bad been charged. Persons have paid SO
cents for admission to the palace, and getting in
they proceedednkowards the exhibition which they
actually went to witness when they found that 81
extra was demanded. Alderman Mott had gone
there himself, and found it to be tho case.
In levying these extra charges Mr.. Barnum
had, tn his opinion, clearly violated the lease.
Alderman Mott therefore moved . reference or the
matter and trusted that this Board and the city of
humbugged by Barnum, under whose directorship
the Crystal Palace had become one Of the vlest
places in the city. Property In that locality had
been deteriorated In value and become almost USE
for his swn psrsonai gain, had managed to use
Reservoir square for purposes never contemplated.
The old corporation, had they known Mr. Barpum's
S1Csvss .svsr would hve grunSed me icsse to the
Alderman CHArncvv a"secded he preser. ma,ege-
ment Of tie Crystal Pi1ss1 80 -
Alderman Morn agar. .ose and said, Was nos
aware when first spoke that the gentleman from
Of the Exhibition. From the beginning the Crystal
Palace was q niggariiy concern, and the Com
mon Council had been treated q II they had
had come to this Board with an humble request for
the lease. The previous stockholders, however,
had given up, with hopes of ever getting their
money back. Barnum thought that by getting up
musical congress he could humbug the people for
. time, and get their money; but when he commsnc.
ed Sunday concerts the people showed him that
they had regard for the Sabbath-more than he
had. He (Aiderman Mott) supposed that tho next
keys, snakes and Shanghaes to the Exhibition. The
matter now stands between Mr.. BaInum and the
Common Council, as the members Of the original
Crystal Palace had nothing TO do with it and he
again expressed hope that the city of New York
would no longer be humbuggcd. The whole matter
was referred to the Committee Arts aud Science.
