At the request of the Governor. Attornev Cool
has examined the law in relation TO giving
deeds for property sold in default of payment
or taxes, with view OF aseertaining whether
legal, and whether the Governor would be
justified in giving deeds TO persons holding such
certificates by assignment. and reports that as
there is no provision for an assignment of certi-
ncstes, nor for the execution OF deeds by any
other than the purchaser" the assignment Is
Illegal, and the Governor would not be justified

Mr.. STRANAHAN seconded the resolution.
Mr.. HEWITT remarked that the two cities owned
nine tenths of the stock. The resolution proposed
by the committee would give private STOCKHOLDERS
q representation Of two out OF twenty.
Mr.. MARSHALL was opposed, both TO the resoiu-
ton and the amendment. All powers coming rom
Albany were curse. The authorities OF each CITY
were capable OF choosing their representatives. vi
the stock held by EACH but they wanted no assist
ance from the State capital.
Mr.. BARNES said this was purely business mat
politics should be kept remote from it, He believed
that time should be taken to submit proposition
which would be thoroughly considered.
General AsPINwALL thought there was a great
deal OF force in the amendment. Whatever right
the Legislature reserves to Itself, Its iaith was
pledged that, unless strong reasons were given TO
alter the spirit and meaning OF the original CHAR
ter, 1t should remain unchanged. He conceded In
the opinion that New York and Brooklyn should
nominate their own directors The matter ought
to be referred to q new committee for the present.
Mr.. HEWITT said that 1t had been lately found out
that the control OF all OF the stock was vested in
one man. He simply wished to remove that con-
troll. He said that any person buying 1881, 900 OF
stock could control the whole Board, since that
large amount was unrepresented, and he 30 con-
trolling would, by contracts aud expenditures, re-
imburSe himself.
Mr. STRANAHAN said that the directors had paid
their money as an assurance for the honest per-
iormance OF their duties II new men were wanted
he had no Objec ton to go out but he did say that
his bond OF indemnity should be cancelled. Hard
work had been done for the bridge, but 1t had now
arrived at point when 1t could he taken out OF
their hands. Their mission was complete. Private
enterprise had started 1t, but the cities should
carry 1t to completion. There would never De
another dollar of private subscription given.
Mr.. SchrOder's motion to refer the question to a
committee OF five was adopted. The Executive
Committee were authorized to employ superln-
fntendent at salary not to exceed $4,000 per
pointed General superintendent and granted o
leave OF absence for six weeks
