At a recent meeting of the Richmond County
Board of Supervisors the subject of the support Of
the county poor was taken up. Mr.. Ross moved to
refer the mandamus of the Poor Commissioners to
counsel. Mr. O'Bren, believing that the Court
would compel the Supervisors to make the appro-
priaton, and that the employment of counsel would
be- an unnecessary expense. moved to appropriate
50 600 for the support of the AnshouSe. This was
seconded by Mr.. Dean, while Alr Bechtel was in
favor of Mr. Ross's motion, leaving the Board
equally divided in the matter. Mr.. Dean. IN ex-
pressing his views stated that the poor would be
compelled TO suffer during me legal proceedings on

REJECTING PLANS FOR NEW TENEMENT-HoUsEs Al
THE OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH-PRo
FEssOR CHANDLER EXPLAINS THAT THE NE"
Inspectors ARE TENEMENT-HoUsE SURVEYORS
AND NOT SANITARY INsPECToRs-A GLIMPSE INTO
SEVERAL TENEMENT BLOCKS.
A very large number of plans of projected
tenement houses have been submitted recently
70 the Board of Health. and many OF them
have now been rejected. Builders are care
fully watched to secure the carrying out OF
modified plans, of which photographs are
taken. Professor Chandler explains that the
forty new inspectors were not appointed so
much for the purpose of making sanitary
inspection as of making a survey of the 25,-
600 tenements of the city. For this reason
they do not spend time in examining the
plumbing of the houses. which belongs prop
erly to the work of another class OF inspectors.
From the work already done DR.. James esti-
mates that the forty will have completed their
work in about three months. Descriptions are
given of filthy tenements in Eleventh-st. and
Cirst-aVe.

THE TEA AND CROCKERY WAR.
HOW THE CONTEMPORARIES PROPOSE TO RE
CDvrD TutIp TOST TRADE

HOW THE CROCKERY-DEALERS PROPOSE TO RE-
COVER THEIR LOST TRADE.
For over year most of the teadealers OF this city
have been in the habit OF giving to each person buy
ing pound of tea or coffee at time ticket en-
fitting the holder to some article of crockery or
glassware. As result the retail trade Of the
crockeIy merchants has fallen of TO an extent
which has aroused their indignation against tea
dealers. Repeated protests and arguments proving
of no avail, the former have organized themselves
into protective association, with the intention of
compelling the tea-deaers to cease the traffic, which
is fast running their trade. Meetings of this assOcl-
alton have been held weekly, and the result
is that the crockery-d dealers have determined
to force their enemies to surrender by purchasing
and selling all kinds of teas and cOecs TO their Gus
toners at cost prices They contend that the tea
merchants are making profit of from 200 10 300
per cent and are fast breaking down the crOckery
trade. At the meeting yesterday n committee, OF
which Mr. b. Fitzpatrick, the president OF the asso-
citation, Is chairman, was appointed 10 procure a
supply OF teas and cOiees of all kinds and furnish
to the various crOckrrv merchants the amounts they
may require BY retailing these at cost prices 10
all who wish to buy. the crOckcry men hope TO put
a stop 10 the traffic Of the tea companies, and bring
back their lost trade.
