Tho Dock Commissioners and Comp
n - -sr- : . <eSs5 .--ssfss.
!. - trOller Creek

The difficulty at present existing between
the Commissioners Of Docks and Comptroller
Green on the question Of the supply Of funds
10 carry on the needed works Of the Board
should never have arisen. The Comptroller
dn this, as in many other cases. has pursued q
policy of meddling in affairs over which
Ihe has no legal control The great
works on the water frontage of our
city should be pushed forward by every citizen
who has the best interests Of the metropolis at
heart The comprehensive plan which has
been adopted for improving the city's water
'front.' it is true requires the expenditure Of
large sums Of money. That, in itself. is no
just objection to their being carried out.
Comptroller Green believes that patriotism
demands him to save money. His motto ap-
pears to be, to save money-legally if he can,
but to save money. On this principle, and
without shadow Of legal right on his side,
he has held back half million dollars
for six months from the Commission Of
Docks. The public works have, Of necessity,
been retarded thereby, and at present the
question whether he shall pay or not is forced
into the law courts. The provision for pay
ment Of sufficient funds to carry on the dock
improvements is secured by special legislation,
which renders the Board independent Of the
supervision of the Comptroller. However the
scitizens may have tolerated Mr.. Green in the
.straining of his legal powers to limit ex-
penses in certain city departments which
had been honeycombed with dishonesty and
corruption, they viii resent this gratuitous
interference with a Board on which the
shadow Of suspicion has never rested. The
projected works are such as, when completed,
will not only add to the beauty of the city.
but materially appreciate the value Of its real
estate. They will solve the problem Of
tho over-crowding Of the business part
of the city down town by extending
tho line of piers available for the largest class
of vessels visiting our shores. The revival Of
American commerce at no distant day will, if
the present absurdly penurious regime is
allowed to continue find the port unable to
properly accommodate its shipping. The
position of the Comptroller in this matter is
indefensible, except on the short-sighted,
penny-wise policy which he has made with
such persistency his own.

TIE IRrsH-ANDERsoN Poison TRIAL was con-
tinued yesterday, the prisoner appearing as
witness. His direct testimony sustained the
theory of the defence. On cross-examination
his story did not vary in any important par
ticular, rs he denied all the implicatory allega-
lions of the prosecution. Rebutting testimony
was then introduced to prove Mrs. Anderson's
desire for her late husbands demise. The
taking of evidence will probably close to-day.
