CAPITALISTS AS DEPosIToRs.

CAPITALISTS AS DEP0sIToRs.
superintendent Howell, 10 commenting upon
these results, says
The large increase in the amount OF average
deposits in recent years IL evidence that con-
siderable share OF the total deposits Is not the
earnings OF labor, but that capital also has been
attracted oy the safety and profit Afforded by these
Institutions In considerable sums and In much
larger proportion than was the case In former
years. am not prepared at present to urge the
passage OF q law to prevent the expansion OF
the system as Indicated by the admission OF
the larger depositors TO Its benefits but IL is
easy to perceive that the diversion Of capital
IN this direction may ultimately become such an
abuse OF the system as to call for legislative inter-
ference. IL has been suggested that the banks be
restricted as 10 the amount OF individual deposits
which they may be authorized to receive, In order
70 conne them TO the legitimate objects for which
h my were ORIGINALLY intended. II q remedy In this
ulleVtlon could be provided, which could not be
eFauea py means Of deposits by an individual de-
positeI IN lhe names Of different persons IL would
'ouDeiess nave beneficial effect upon the system.

THE BROOKLYN ALDERMEN AND THE EAST
RIVER BRIDGE.
The Chief Engineer Before the Conn
mittee.


Yesterday the special committee Of the Brooklyn
Aldermen who were appointed some time since to
investigate the affairs Of the East River Bridge
Company met in the Common Council chamber and
resumed their work. Alderman Ropes presided. =
Mr.. w. A. Roebng, the chief engineer Of the
company, was called and testified that 1t was nrst
intended to build the towers by contract; he pre-
pared the specifications, but the executive COM
mittee opposed them; they knew what 1t would
cost to penny to build the mason work after the
foundation Mr.. Kingsley was the mouthpiece OF
the executive committee and he received from him
whatever the committee had 70 propose; Mr..
Kingsley proposed TO take the contract for tho
masonwork ut $42 per yard, and the cost, thus FAR,
has been less than $50 per YARD; II the con-
tract had been given to Mr.. Kingsley ut his price
It would have cost nearly three millions more
than n win as IL is new being built; he thought
the work was done better BY days work than By
contract: the proposals for work had been re.
Serred to Mr. Kingsley, who opened them in the
nresence of the committee; there Is great DIFF.
ference In the quality tho stone and they often
condemn whole cargoes at time; he thought
that almost oil the lumber had been con.
tracted for except Ssapa.,vr One-nal of that
was bought by ..Klngsleys Kenny, and

lowest bidder. IL was impossible for any collision
to exist In contracts for stone.
