the implied denunciatiOn of Commissioner Van
Mort, and the latter asserting that the endeavOr to
give this power as to the streets to the Department
or Public Works was scheme that was con tinua-
ton the practice that to avOrte contractors

organizations, Oswald Ottendorfer presiding, held
ameeting at the Beethoven Maennerchor Hall last
night when the Committee on Organization,
through Mr.. Elsaesser submitted report an
nouncing that the German reform organizations
in the different districts have been fully reorgan-
lied, with the exception Of the Second, sixth and
Ninth Assembly districts, whose reorganization is
expected in the course Of next week. In
the Seventeenth Assembly district the con-
testing organizations have been amalga-
mated, and Or. Waterman was chosen to
represent the organization in the Ex-
ecutive Committee. Marcus Otterbourg proposed
that the organization enter protest against the
bill introduced in the Legislature by Colonel and
Assemblyman Spencer, providing for an appropri-
alton Of the sum OF $48 000 to ndemnlfy the Filth
regiment N. G. s. N. Y, OF this city, for the uni
forms used BY the regiment In the war against the
rebellion, at the time OF the breaking out of the
civil war. Mr.. Otterb0urg characterized the bill
referred to as scheme OF swlndling the object OF
which was to plumber the State Treasury. He
thought 1t fitting that this organization protest
against the scheme, because German regiment
is to be used as tool in the furtherance
OF the same; and he argued that among the pres
ent members OF the regiment, with the exception
OF the Drum Major, there Is not one who was
member OF the regiment at the time the regiment
marched against the rebellion. He further said that
the passage OF the bill would furnish a precedent
for other similar Jobs. the object OF which was to
plumber the State Treasury. On motion OF Oswald
0ttendorfer resolution was passed directing the
Committee on Legislature to repare and protest
against the measure; also against O scheme intro
duced in the Legislature to revise the old swinde
IN the matter OF corporation advertising.
