that his name is Willett Hubbard. The mark over

DEPARTMENT RUMORS.
PROBABLE REORGANIZATION OF THE POLICE BOARD
THE PARK COMMISSION.

PROBABLE REORGANIZATION OF The POLICE BOARD
THE PARK COMMISSION.
There was an improbable rumOr about the City
Hall yesterday that Mayor Cooper would to-day
nominate Sheridan Shook for Police Commissioner,
and d. d. T. Marshall for Tax Commissioner Ii
was promptly denied by Mayor Cooper, who said he
would not make any nominations to-day. He evil
IDENTIFY does not intend to nominate any person until
lie thinks his candidate Will be confirmed. There
have been rumors frequently of late that he would
present charges against Police Commissioner
Wheeler, and have him removed. One gentleman,
who is known to be in the confidence of the Mayor,
SAID yesterday that the charges against Mr. Wheeler
were all prepared, but that the Mayor could not
consistently present them until the Governor dis
posed of those now resting against Commissioner
Smith. He said that the reorganization OF the
Police Board bv the resi- gnatiOn of Comm sSiOner
MacLean and the removal or designations of Com
missioners Smith and Wheeler would take place in
lOOd time for the Fall campaign. lie said the re-
organization would be made III order that inspect
ors of election might be appointed who would see
tnat Tammany Hall did not work against Lucius
Robinson, who he believed would Do renomlnat-
ed for Governor next Fall. 1t rs SAID tnat Commits
soner MacLean Is tired Of his present Office and de-
sres 10 return to the one he formerly held of cOun
sci TO the Police Board. This position has not been
permanently filled since Mr.. MacLean's promotion,
Incorporation Counsel having merely assigned
person t. ill II temporarily. This has been done, 1t
is asserted IN expectation that Nj. MacLean might
again be appointed to II IN case he wished to resign
his present office. COMMISSIONS MacLean says
that political influence prevents ihe police force
from becoming efficient, and therefore he is said
10 desire the Mayors consent to his resignation.
The Mayor has not received the report OF the
Commissioner of Account on the affairs of the
Park Department. He has, however, other reports
on the subject before him. and II Is known that he
has given the subject much consideration The
early removal of the Park Commissioners is among
the probabilities Mr. Ollitfe son-in-law of Jordan
J.. Mott. is spoken of OF the new Commission
ers III case the removals are approved by the Gov
ernOr. Andrew II. Green, who was formerly PTesl-
dent Of the Park Department, is regarded as the
probable successor of President Nenman. The
Park Department Is rotten from stem to stern"
said well-knOwn Auti-Iammany politician in the
Mayors Office recently. This is thought to coincide
with the opinion of the Mayor. and probably indi
Gates the sweeping removals that VIII follow tho
nnuointment Of four new Commissioners.

CONTROLLER sTEINMETZ's VIEWS on TIE AW
.-.... .....--... .l-n.

CONTROLLER sTKINMETZS VIEWS on THE AWARD
OF THE CONTRACT FOR STEEL.
Controller Steinmetz. of Brooklyn, who advocated
the use of crucibe steel for the suspended super
structure of the East River Bridge, and who re-
fused to vote to award the contract for Bessemer
steel to the Edgemoor Iron Company, has published
a statement explaining his position in the matter
He saws that three months ago. and previous to the
issue of the call for bids for the suspended super
structure he called the attention of the Board OF
Trustees to the very defects in the specifications
which now AFTER the award of the contract are to
be remedied by special resolutions. when blds
were called for the bidders understood clearly tat
considerable expense for testing would fall on them
and not on the Board of Trustees. The unfalrness
to the other bidders of now making an allowance
for testing TO the Edgemoor Iron Company, after
fine award is manifest, and might furnish an eX-
planaton of the remarkable lowneSs OF that com
pany's bid, If il eXpected-Or, perhaps, was led 10
expect-that such a concession would be made TO II.
The state of affairs the Controller continues, Is
simply this: Here Is contract, amounting avowedly
to about $500. 600 for a great puOllc work, 10 he
maid for by the taxpayers of the two cities. Inns
contract is now awarded under specifications ana
conditions different from those called for by the
bids and without heengneer having even prepared
the necessary plans and details when are 10 form
part of the contract. The engineer is allowed TO
make changes amounting to $4,000 without the
consent Of the Board and besides, the trustees are
TO paV-lt is not stated how muCh-tOr the cost OF
testing. Under these circumstances 1t is evident
that no one can tell whether, according TO such "A
contract the superstructure Will cost the two cities

the existence or the legality of an instrument which
he considers haught with danger TO the pubic
treasury.
