It Was presented at the late meeting Of the
Common CouEcu on Monday evening:
Hon. J. S. Ru,Aseu, Mdsor and Chairman ,sns.
eial Committee, &C.:
SIR: The undersigned member Of the late
Board Of Sewerage COMMISSIONER, begs leave
to submit feW remarks upon some OF the
state ments recently made ln regard to the
financial affairs Of said Board.
In the report Of the Special Com 1;ttee On
thif subject, made to the Council on the 5th
INST, it Is said your committee are informs
ed by Mr.. Lind that the forty bonds included
in this amount aud which have bean hEpothe-
cated in New York for the benefit Of NJ, Lii d
wsre loaned to him By the late Board, BY reso.
lutien passed BY them, and that he gave sald
as Lids Block, as security"-" but such
mortgage does not appear OF record"
The fac1s in the case are that the bonds
were placed by the Board in Mr.. Lind's hands
tof Eale, and the rate at which he was at 1ibet.
ty to dispose Of them was fixed at 50 per cent,
and no other power over themselves delegated
BY the Board TO Mr. LIND. The high character
fer integrity and honesty which be hsd m ain
tanned tor SO many yesr5 in this community,
prtcluded any idea of danger in entrQstine
them to his care.
As to the mortgage On his block, said to
hare been given as security, the circumstances
are as follows: Mr., Lind showed me somf,
papers, among which was q second mortgage
on his block made to secure note payable to
The order Of Mr. ". B. Ogden for &4O, Goo, bnt
which had not been indorsed, and asked nv
opinion as to their value as security for a loan.
The papers were left with NE, I supposIne

tion he had On hand. It Yves net until sfler
several conversations On the subject, at COZ
siderable intervals Of time, that ! understood
MI. Lind to propose to take any Of the funds
or bonds OF the Board, On the proposed sscu-
Flty. When the proposal Was so understood.
II WAS declined at once, as improper, M.

ion. The matter was then dropped, the
papers were never completed as there
WIS no reason for going on with them, and Mr.
Lind could have had them at any time foT the
asking. WAN
I hare no recollection Of having said auy.
thing to Nj. Gamble at that time about the
safe keeping Of the bonds, although that had
oeen subject OF discussion in the Board, aud
on once sale Was not considered altogether
secure as q place OF deposit for bonds faiIy *.

city, eTen if stolen. The entry was made in
pelci as temporary memorandum to show
where the bonds were, until they should be
Ecld or returned by Mr Lind, when tbs for.

IIe wrong use made by the treasurer of the
funds Of the Board, on deposit, was 1uaae
Eoicly upon his own responsibility, and With

Your obedient servant,

The redu elton In rent Of school lands ap-
pnes to the block bounded by State, Monroe,
Dearborn and Madison streets leased on val
uation every five years. Sixteen mouths eiaca
the rent was appraised ct the rate Of $3.50 for
@s.ess ea feet front on Dearborn street, and
proportionate On the other streets. Dearborn
street is In bud way; Monroe street not
much better, and all the tenants are sharers in
in the general hard times. 4 reduction of 40
per cent. for two years was granted by late
ordinance, which on Monday night received
Mayor Rumsey'e veto, he believing the reduc-
ton too great. The ordinance was reconsi
dered aud lost, and an amendment Of Alder
man LAW was carried, fixing the reduction at
35per cent, until the completion of the in
provements and widening Of Dearborn street,
which by the way, may be at the present rate
ofprogresa, more than two years' time.
Another matter was left equally blind. BY
the general tax ordinance it was proposed to
appropriate 928, COO for the Reform School,
and $4,000 for Harbor improvement. For
tie reasons that in the present time the for
mer eau get along with less sum, and that
the latter if appropriated at all must come
ont Of the General Fund, and not by special
assessment; and besides, to further the meas-
ure OF military appropriation, the matter
was brought up in report from the Finance
Committee, amending it 50 IS to appropriate
$50 GOO for the Reform School and dropping
tie Harbor appro opriation altogether providing
for the 1evyiDg Of a tax Of one mill on the
dollar Of the assess ed valuation OF property to
provide fund for The raising and equipping
Of volunteers for the war.
Aid. Prindiyi1le moved to amend by max
ing the tax two mills, one.half to be for the
support of families OF volunteers.
AlG. Ferklns WIGS opposed to lerYing tax
for any such purpose. He thoush our taxes
were high enough already.
Aid. Comisky thought the fund should be
raised By the county instead OF the city,
AID. Foss said the ordinance Was dawn in
accordanee with resolution passed By the
citizens meeting last Saturday night, Il was
understood that the Super yispTB would also
levy tax Of: one mill The proposed tax did
not increase the general levy, as two mills
were taken of and one put on. One mill lev
led by the city would raise about $ss5 900; an.
Other levied by the county would raise TIE
same amount, giving $4,000,
