chimes were no: employed throughout The city, He
rerlied thar the Board Of Aldermen Were opposed 10
them and the Aldermen had in fact the entire control
Of such matters If be had his way, he would use
them entirely az he believed their use would keep the

street being very muddy and broken Their work,
however was entirely satisfactory. IL Is understood

CITY ITEMS.

THE BATTERY IsPRovEMKST.-The Legislature o.
1857 authorized the Common Council TO widen Bat
tery-place on the south side making il seventy feet
wide at Broadway, and two hundred and ten feet ut
West street. They also authorized the building of a
ferry-sp south Of Pier No. North River A delay
was oecasioDed at first by the nonconfrmation Of the
contract; and after the work commenced another
delay wac caused by the rip-up foundation wall not
settling sufficiently 70 continue the parapet-wa which
would have progressed but for that The street widen
ing Is completed and has been laid with Belgian pave
ment. Tie building Of the pier, and forming OF
ferry slip are now before the Board OF Aldermen
awaiting their action and viii probably soon psss tue
Common Council The sidewalk on the Battery side
of State street has been removed; thus allowing hrieen
feet more carisgeway than formerly. Whitehall
street has also been idened to seventy feet, and IL
now in process Of being laid with Belgian pavement
The contract for the Enlargement a the Battery
expired several years ago by its own limitation, but
Mr. Law the Lessee Of Conckln the contractor, having
reaped all the benefits to be derived from the contract
failed TO do that portion Of the work Involving an out
lay of money So loosely this contract made that
the Common Council feared for long time to inter-
fere lest they might become liable to the contractor
for damages although he had notoriously violated tho
terms Of bis contract, and by 70 doing had seriously
injured the harbor causing dangerous shoals to form at
tie entrance Of the East River Eventually, goaded
by the press and public opinion the Common Council
did interfere and passed resolution to complete the
Improvement but as yet contracts have been given
out There remains to complete the work 10000
yards Of filing, 2l2 granite posts, 40 feet of granite
coping, 1880 yards Of parapet-wal and 10000 yards
Of rp-rap wall at the south end Of the Battery, all OF
which ought according to the contract, to have been
done by Law without extra charge 70 the city, AT the
south end of the Battery instead of building the wall
the contractor Of the Battery Enlargement built a
temporary bukhead for the ostensbe purpose OF land
ing material for the wall but il has ever SINCE been
used by George Law as ferry slip, without right or
title from the city. Recently the Controller has d.
reced the removal Of said bnlkhead and ordered that
portion of the Battery leading to IL to be fenced up
az the parties runrng the ferry paid no rent and had
no legal right to the transit at that point 1t being In
direct violation Of the grant Of the Battery from the
Legislature to the city. In spite Of this action Mr.
Law still uses the slip, admitting passengers and We
hicles at side entrance The cost Of completing the
Battery improvements viii be s27 i96, which, in jus
tee to the city, should be borne by George Law.
