THE CITY MONEYS,

We print this morning rathor remarkable
correspondence between Comptroller Hayes and
City Treasurer O'Hara. The platform Of the
Peoples Party declared that the interest on the
City moneys deposited in banks should be turned
into the City Treasury, and bfr. 0'Hara made
specific pledge that he would relinqulah such
interest In conformity with this understand
Ing, Mr. Hayes recentiy called Mr. O'Hara's At
teusion 10 tho fnet that he had failea to
turn over tho interest On tho City deposits
and requested him to do 80. Afr. oHara In
reply claims the right to dispose Of the interest
On the ground that be giyea s1.50o, 900 bonds,
and that the interest so far has barely auflced
to cover the expenses Of bis Office. It Seems to
us that both the Comptroller and Treasurer ATE
out OF the way in this matter. Tho city charter
makes tho uso Of tho City moneys penal
oYenset which, can only be avoided under
the amendment by tho authorization Of
the Common Council that tho moneys
shall be used. There has been no
such authorization. Tho City Treasurer
ia required 10 mako cath, The first OF every
month"; that no has not un1awfully" used tho
City moneya In his banda. In reference to this
oath, Mr. O'Hara asked tho opinion Of tho City
Attorney AZ to nhethor the deposlung OF the
money On interest nas q loan, and, therefore. q
uso Of the monoy. II 10 ramomher arlght, the
City Attorney gavo an opinion that tho do
cisiona and 1aw-writers hayo held that
deposit drawing interest is loan.
II this opinion is correct, blr. o'Hara
has no legal right to draw intosest on the DO
posits Of City money in tue ahsence Of the
authorization from the Common Council. The
expenses Of the City Treaaurora Office have
nothing to do with tho matter. salary is fixed
by law for the City Treasurer, and, u he chooses
to employ somebody clso to do tho work, that is
! his lookout. This salary may be inadequate,
but 1t il not lawful to make up the deficiency by
1oaniug tue City money without tho consont and
! direction Of the Common Council. III this REV
Of tho controversy, Afr. Hayes cannot demand tho
payment into tho City Treasury Of tho interest
received on City funds but, on tho other hand,
| mr. O'Hara may not draw interest On tho City
funds. 1t will be we'll for all the parties cor'
coruod aud also for tho interest Of tho city, tha
this matter be definitely settled according to Ia"
before 1t goes any further.

&fr. Richard Jeffcries, in tho Mny number Of
Fraser's Magazine, recommends tho paasage By
the English Parliament Of 4 Railway Accident
bi]i The main points OF ulLch the following ia =
brief Bummary:
!. As to tho way: Tho employment Of IN
spectora to see that tho Way is always in good
condition; the erection Of better fenning; \ cor
tain longth Of separate and distinct lines through
functions and At important statsons never used
for ehunting purposes.
2. Tho rolling stock: The use Of continuous
brakes; easy ana ints1ngtb1a communication
With the guard ; a tixed method Of building and
coupling passenger carriages,- tho method to be
founded upon evidence taken BY commission |,
legal conformation Of the exiating regulations
for testing axlsa.
q. Method Of m.nagam Ont /: Strict shunting
regulations; punctualty Of trains, aud great
precsution io the running Of excursions or their
entire discontinuance.
4. Railway employees: plmlnution Of the
hours each servant Ia employed strioter regu1a-
tions to insure safety OF railway servants =
| better system Of responsibility On the part Of
! high ofioIa}s.
s. Compensation Laying down Of claar ind
| dooided sya.em Of compensation.
It will be noticed that no provision is recom-
1nsndad against high spaad. n1r. Jefferies thinks
tho prejudice against high speed ia founded on
tue mistaken notion that high speed increases
tho chances Of accident. Tho wrong position o1
tue points, the neglect to shunt trims out Of the
way, and the want Of means to bring the car.
riagoa to Htsndsttll, are tho three cauBea o1
accidents. The necessity Of Raiiway-Acciden1
