THE GRAND-sr. FERRY SUSPENSION.

a QelegatlOn from tDe DOMINION CounCh Va
Brooklyn, consisting Of Aldermen Dobbin, Zindal No
LAM Kenna, aud Smith, and Messrs Blackwell and Tie
bout OF BROOKLYN, E. D.. waited on the Dock Commis
soners after their meeting yesterday TO ask them 10
reduce the rent of the pier occupied by the SUSPENDED
Grandst. ferry. Their arguments presented informally
were In substance that the Ferry Company could not
afford to pay 5000 year rent that as the Ferry Com
pany held lease of the pier on the Brooklyn side'
which did not expire In five years no other company
could be established TO take their place. since there was
no other available place for ferry landing on that part
OF the water front Brooklyn that 10000 people were
greatly incommoded by the want OF means OF crossing
to NewYork the Houston and Roosevelt ferries being
insufficient for their and that the peo
pie OF NewYork were vitality Interested In the pro-
motion of means Of communication with BROOKLYN
Commissioner Gardner remarked that tho rent
az the propery In question had $4,000 In 1882 and
he did not think had deprecated In value since soon
after the present ferry company got hold OF H. ana
they had not paid @ cent OF rent since he also sau
that there was no evidence TO his knowledge that the
ferry did not pay WELL The City OF New-fok owns the
pier and halt the bulkhead at the landing on the BROOK
iyn SIDE for which rent has been received, Whle
$1,000 year has been paid by the ferry company 70
persons owing the remainder OF the property. The
ferry company has offered TO pay $1,000 year Tor the
whole property on both sides. The delegation was
assured that the Dock Commissioners would take ther
petition into consideration and inform them OF their
decision IN o short time.

THE CITY RECORD CONTRACT.
JUDGE PRATT's INJUNCTION AGAINST CONTRACTOR
BROWN.

JUDGE PRATTS INJUNCTION AGAINST CONTRACTOR
BROWN.
The old dispute about the printing of The
Gin Beeord was decided yesterday by Judge Calvin f.
Pratt OF Brooklyn who sat in the Supreme Court Cham
bers in the new Courthouse the absence OF Judge
Lawrence. It will be remembered that there we're
eight bidders for the contract OF printing OF whom
was VIM C. Rhodes. Although his bid was the lowest,
he was passed by and the contract was awarded to
Martin b. Brown, whose bid next TO the highest.
Mr. Rhodes wrote q letter TO Mayor Havemeyer demand
ing that meeting of the Board Of city Record be
called to reconsider the award. The stir Mr.. Rhodes
made about this apparently mysterious system OF letting
out work by the city resulted in an application
made in July last on his behalf by Richard
O'Gorman, exCorporaton Counsel. to Judge
Pratt for an order commanding Mayor Havemeyer Mr.
Van Mort, the Commissioner OF Public WORKS, ana f.

thores for giving the contract to Brown despite his
high bid was that his offer the only which in
its terms compiled with the statute. The afldaytGof
accordance with the statute. have been his bids
previous occasons and hatbeyond this was strictly
the OF INF Rhodes insists that fair
play to HIM means reconsideration OF the whole mat
ter, he AYERS that he received ntinat0n that
compliance with the advertisement was not enough.
Mr. OGorman discaimed any purpose on his part to
cast an imputatiOn anybody, but he perneDty sug
gested that people might imagine that information mad
been sent to favored individuals 10 comply with the
statute without regarding the requirements OF the ad
vertisement. Proprety alone called for new depart
ure here, and in the mean tune he moved Tor perma
nent Injunction.
Mr. Dean of rean Forker appeared for the city and
the defendants, the proposed Injunction
directed. and he claimed simply that Brown was
entitled to the contract on tie grounds, as before
stated that his bid complied with the statute and that
the others did not.

tans the following grounds for granting the injunction
prayed for 81 have waited July for the defend
