MORE MONEY NEEDED.

COMMISSIONER CAMPBELL, PRESIDENT wENArAN
AND PRESIDENT COX BEFORE THE BOARD OF
APpoRTIoNMENT.
The Board Of Apportionment continued yesterday
missioner Allan Campbell of the Department OF Pub
lie Works, argued against the reduction of the est-
mate for his department. He said he had asked for
increased appropriations only where they abso-
lutely required. The Croton Aqueduct needed
strengthening in several places. Where 1t crossed
valleys the structure was settling and should be re-
paired. The asked for this work was
$4,000. 1t was cut OF the water sup
ply would be endangered. In relation to the
appropriation for the streets, Mr.. Campbell said
that So 900 had been expended in building twenty
three miles Of boulevards. They should be main
tanned At least 100 Of the miles streets in this
city needed repairing. The preservation of health
and or commerce required it. It would he thought
be economy to expend for this purpose $5O0,OO a
year for many years to come Mr.. Campbell added
that the salaries Of his department had been steadily
reduced for ten years. and could not be further cut
down without damage to the city's interests.
President Wenman of the Park Commission said
that his department should have all the money for
which they had asked. The force OF policemen in
theparks inadequate. and the buildings benches
and roadways needed repairing.
President Cox. Of the Department Of Charities and
Correction. said that Backwell's Island was over
crowded with institutions. He and his colleagues
were in favor of the purchase by the city Of Rkers
Island or part OF Wards Island. On either of those
islands, If they were owned by the city. peniten-
might be separated from the paupers insane and
the SICK Rikers Island could be bought for $Il5 OOO

application behalf Of Louisa Noll. She states
that Of hers born in Bleecker street. in this

records so corrected to include o record OF her

The second application was made by DR.. Ernest
Uhling, who says he is graduate OF the Royal Uni
versty of Vienna that for the past twenty years he
has been practising physician in this city; that
prior to 1874 the Board OF Health always registered
him as . physician in good standing; that about
that time he was convicted In the Court
OF General Sessions of false pretences and sent
pardoned out at the end OF q year and restored to
citizenship by Governor Robinson; that the Board
now refuses to register him as n physician OF good
standing and also to recognize the certificates OF the
women graduates at his school Of midwifery. This
application was strenuousy resisted. 1t stated
that his conviction of false pretences was through
Lis giving certificate OF woman's death. but that
instead of corpse the coffin contained bricks with
intent to defraud an Insurance company.
1t was also stated that the Board has
no proof that he is physician in good
standing and no information OF his school of mid
wifcry. Judge Davis refused to grant the man

In giving him a certificate OF physician In good

Mr. Hardy's part to make Owney Geoghegan's

supported his ingenuity by speech in which he
asked the Commissioners To dismiss the complaint,
