TO the P0int.
Mayor Cooper sent in his first message to
the Common Council yesterday. He makes
several suggestions for developing the COM
mercial advantages of New York, and
thinks tolls and charges upon commerce
should be lightened. He favors lower
rate of taxation, which he thinks could be
done without increasing the debt. He says
there are too many city officials with ex-
cessive salaries. He believes in wedding
out the sinecures and equalizing compensa-
tions. He favCrs modification of excise
law to meet the requirements of the great
metropolis, and secure by proper regula-
ton greater revenue. The message is full
of suggestion indicative of the policy lie
proposes to pursue.
