THE UNDERGROUND TELEGRAPH BILL.
ANALOGOUS ACTION or THE COMMITTEE on CITIES
rryuars BY MR.. DAILY TO BRING TIE BILL BEFORE
THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS or AN ADVERSE
REPORT.
lsf THLssRArH TO rHR rRJbUNHl
ALBANY, May 4.-The Assembly Committee on
Cities has been capricious enough about the Under
sround Telegraph bill. At first they sat upon ~
firmly. Then, when the attempt 10 smother 1t was
disclosed in 1HE TRIBUNE. they were aggrieved, but
thew resolved that their wisest course would be
10 allow it TO come before the House; and
there was an informal agreement 30 that effect,
though no vote was taken. Subsequently, however,
there was retreat from this position, without anv
spparent cause, and the bill still held by the
Committee. To-day Mr.. DAILY made another effort
10 bring il out. The first motion-that the bill be
reported favorably-received his vote alone; the
seeond-that the hill be reported for the consdera-
ton Of the House-was voted down by 10 3, Mr.
NcCleary being absent; the third-t1at the
bill be reported sdversely-receiyod tic vote;
4b4. Mr. DAILY voted in the affirmative. In order
n possible, TO get the bill ont of the hands of the
Committee. Mr. DAILY then gave the Committee
notice that he would not be responsible for any
action that might be taken with reference TO the bill
in the House aud cove them 10 understand that
motion would probably be made TO discharge the
Committee from it's consideration This warning will
prebably have It's effect. inasmuch as il is under
stood tonight that one of the obstinate members
will Weld and thus free the bill. II this rumor is
confirmed the vote for adverse report will include
hessrs DAILY, Hess, George, Taylor, McGrOarty, and
Worth; Mr.. DAILY joining In the vote as before for
the same reason. The remaining members of the
Committee are Messrs. I. c. Campbell, Kirk and
Braman Mr.. McCleary being absent

ALBANY, May 4.-The Joint Investigating Com
mittee on Canal Frauds concluded their lsbors to-
night. They agreed upon report which will probs-
vbly be submitted to the Legislature Tomorrow.
when tho thirty days allotted them will be COM
pleted. They have worked with unusual industry,
and claim TO have fully investigated the
II contracts named by the Governor. The report
Will be long, covering nearly 30 legal cap pages, and
will closely review and analyzo the evidence adj
duced. lie will show that the contracts have not
been fulfilled according 10 the original specitica-
tons, in accordance with the final state
ments sworn to by the Engineer, but that
in many instances material certified 10 as having
been used not used at all and the quantities Of
material and Of work performed have been over
stated. They make unqualified charges of
fraud on the part of contractors in thus
falling TO comply with the terms of their
contracts on the part of engineers in
making false estimates; open fraud, as well AZ
neglect of duty on the part Of Canal Commissioners,
in accepting contracts and certifying to final state
ments which they knew to be fraudulent, and
equally open fraud, az well az neglect of duty on
tho part of the Canal Board, in the changing
Of plans and allowance for extra work.
Tho conclusions Of the Committee TO the
presence of fraud of the most direct character,
and fully sustain the allegations made by the Gov
ernor. In this message the recommendations Of the
Committee arc of less radical character but
they aim, 40 far as legislation can secure
that end, to render similar rascaliiy impossible
in the future. They propose to give TO the Canal
Commissioners the appointment and direct control
of the inspectors and worknon upon their divisions;
and to tho State Engineer the appointment and
direct control Of his subordinate engineers, the
Canal Board to hold the Commissioners and the
State Engineers responsible for the action of
tOns IN the report Will recommend
changes in the methods Of specifying the work To be
done, of letting the contracts providing strictly
against unbalanced bids, and affixing the RESPONSE
bility Of engineers, contractors, and Canal Board
members. The report is made unanimous
IL will be presented in tho Senate
by Mr.. Cole and in the Assembly by Mr. Faulkner.
No recommendation as to the legal liability of any
of the implicated persons will be made, the Commit
tee preferring To leave that matter TO the Legisa-
ture. 1t is thought by individuals, members with
whom have spoken, that the contractors are liable
under the recent law.
