number OF awards assessments and adjustments that
have heen made the report exhibits the sum total OF
awards for damages-the cost OF the land-as between
600 ana The city has to pay for oneha the
cost NJ and those assessed for benefit the
other half Many objections were heard from persons
largely interested but before the Commission ended Its
labors the majority Of the owners became satisfied
with the result attained-an increase In the awards
of the former Commission OF about 10 per
cent and a diminution OF the assessment for benefit
OF about 10 per cent. This the Committee was enabled
20 effect with the aid Of large surplus Of abont 81 100000
Instead of making the public at large pay this million
the awards have been increased to certain extent NO
assessment for benefit diminished the lots front
ing on the river nor In those adjoining the other
boundary lines OF the park 1t decided that these
lots would receive the greater benefit from the improve
ments. This action has been generally satisfactory 10
the property-owners.
The Commissioners have taken no steps whatever 10

81 wouldn't say anything about it," said
Collector Arthur to TRIBUNE reporter Saturday, In
reply to request for particulars OF the serous frauds
on the Treasury committed by julius A. Morrill,, an IN
fuenal olce-holder in the Custom-house The Coilec-
tor did not not state why he did not wish to have any
thing said but his motive for conceaing the case from
the public may be inferred when the intimate relations
existing between Gen. Grant and the family OF the &C
cused are borne In mind. IL was ascer
tanned that Morrill, ia son Of Judge Nor
rtu OF Vermont, and near relative OF
the Senator from the State lie came to this city
few years ago. and after failing in business became an
applicant for Federal Office. Owing to the influence OF
Vermont Republicans he succeeded In securing an APP
pontment as Inspector, under Collector Murphy. He
made the ACQUAINTANCE OF merchant who wished TO de
fraud the Government ont OF the duties large cargo
OF iron The young Inspector bribed by the 1ner
chant II is said and undertook to make returns on the
iron at considerably less than the true weight In this
way the Treasury defauded out OF several hundred
dollars This irregularity occurred months ago, but
Morrill, nevertheless has been kept in the civil Service,
although he has been transferred to another division
When questioned in regard TO the case the Custom
house authorities manifested disposition TO suppress
the details and the reporter had TO obtain the facts
from outside sources. Great efforts making, 1t
alleged, shield Morrill, from punishment aud TO COM
promise the case and IL Is understood tat Collector
Arthur does wish assume the responsibility or
