The ComptrolIer's Interference with
the Depa rtmont OF Public Works.

Comptroller Green, in accordance with his
usual policy, is endeavoring to obstruct the
business Of the Department Of Public Works
by petty and annoying interference with its
management. 1t seems, however, that he
will have no easy task in dealing with General
Fitz John Porter The practice Of the depart
ment has been to require three vouchers 10 be
made out for al claims against the depart
ment One Of these vouchers has been re-
tanned in the Public Works Office and two
have been transmitted to the Financial De
partment-one to he filed with the Comp
troller when the claim has been paid and the
voucher receipted, and the other to be also
receipted and returned to the Department Of
Public Works. This system is in conformity
with an existing ordinance of the Common
Council. and rs advantages are manifest 1t
preserves in the department in which the
lain originates an official copy OF the
voucher, which is useful in case those sent to
the Comptroller should be lost OF mislaid.
BY requiring that two vouchers shall be re-
-eipted when the claim is paid, and one re-
turned to the original department. provision i
made first against the corrupt raising Of .
voucher. and next against the stealing OF re-
ceipted vouchers, from both Of which prac-
tees New York has suffered. The return OF q
receipted voucher to the original department
is also necessary to enable its officers 70 know
the correct amount Of their unexpended APP
proprations Without this check they 10
not know whether the claims against their
department have been paid, aud if any deduc-
ton is made on payment from the amount as
it leaves the department, which is often the
case, the accounts u unexpendcd balances
kept in the department will not agree with
the Comptrollers books.
1t is scarcely credible that the Comptroller
could desire to interfere with this efficient
system Of checks. The trouble Of making
the triplicate vouchers falls on the department
with which they originate, and not on the
Comptroller. Yet in pure love Of obstructive
ness and arrogant diciation, Mr. Green has
directed General Porter To change the prac-
tice and e require only = single voucher 70
be transmitted t. Inc Finance Department.
He claims the right g. make this unnecessary
given him ~ the charter TO prescribe
the forms y keeping and regulating

the right 70 prevent 4 head Of "a ndepen-
dent department from adopting such rules as
TO his own vouchers, their number and their
place Of custody, as he may deem necessary
for the protection Of the city and Of his own
department The attempt Of the Comptroller
to exercise such an authority is piece OF
impertnence which has very properly. been
rebuked by General Porter. The latter asks
the Common Council to pass an ordinance
regulating the matter. We do not regard this
as necessary, General Porter can continue
the system be has hitherto pursued, and

should Mr.. Green refuse to pay claimants on
the vouchers of the Public Works Depart
ment the courts will bring him to terms, as
they have often done before. Still, action OF
the Common Council may be required to COM
pei the Comptroller to obtain receipts to the
two vouchers sent to him and to return one OF
them TO the Public Works Department In
this view the ordinance prepared by>General
Porter may be desirable, and the Board OF
Aldermen should adopt II at once.

length of the island. The Moore bill might
of Fourth avenue, because some Of the OBJ
structious which hedge the way of other capt.
talists would not exist for Mr.. Vanderbilt
who is in no danger of litigation
from a horse railroad company. But
what the city needs is steam cars
running through to Harlem and beyond
every few minutes, with stations all the way at
short intervals, on route through the most
densely and continuously populated part Of
the city south of Harlem Bridge. We rejoice
in the certain passage of bill which renders
such road practicable and is sure TO be
signed BY the Governor in preference to law
Of more limited utility.
Now that we are sure of law which gives
rapid transit ian open field and fair play,
we look with confidence to a speedy supply Of
this great public want We have no doubt
that the requisite fifty philosophical citizens
will Immediately be found to petition for the
road, when it will be the duty Of the Mayor TO
appoint the five commissioners He will not
be hampered by necessity Of having his APP
pointees confirmed by the Common Council,
and he has every motive to make good selec-
TONS The construction OF rapid transit
road will mark an epoch in the history Of the
city, and the Mayor under whose
superintendent it is satisfactorily done
will earn reputation that will rem
der his administration always memorable.
He will Of course take the best and soundest
advice, including that Of the Governor and
will appoint set Of commissioners the an
nouncement Of whose names will inspire con-
tidence. It will be their first duty to select
route which will accommodate the greatest
number OF people. This will perhaps be an
easier task than 10 decide on the best plan
Of construction. The plan must not be
SO expensive as to repel capitalists. As the
road can be built in one Of the avenues, no
great expenditure will be necessary TO secure
the right of way, which dispenses with what
has heretofore been regarded as one Of the
heaviest elements Of cost. In point OF
economy there is no comparison between
an elevated and an underground road,
any more than there is in light
and cheerfulness, or in the rapidly
with which the road can be brought into USE
An elevated road can easily be completed to
Harlem in less than two years Under the
excellent new bill which will tomorrow 60
to the Governor for his signature We
have high and confident hopes Of
the immediate commencement and speedy
completion OF an enterprise which
will give powerful new impulse 10 the
growth and prosperity Of the city. The pros
pect is an ample reward for the persistent
zeal and unfagging efforts of the HERALD
in agitating this great subject and push
ing it upon the attention Of the
people and the Legislature. We feel
that We have as much reason to con-
graduate the city as when, after years
Of strenuous advocacy, the HERALD had the
satisfaction Of seeing the law passed for
creating the Central Park, that great and
health-giying ornament Of this metropolis. the
pride and boast Of our citizens, which IS "a
thing Of beauty and Joy forever"
