Commissioner.

Mr. Bridges, of the House, has presented
bill to prevent the receipt of &c parte athdavts
letters, statements or written communications
by the Commissioner of Pensions, under an in
junction of secresy, against the allowing of
pensions"
This proposition is in the same line of thought
and action as the bill offered by Mr.. Mcmahon,
and forbids the Commissioner of Pensions from
Withholding from any person interested any
secret communication affecting an allowance of
pension, but requires that all such communica-
tions shall be open to inspection of the parties
interested, their agents or attorneys.
We do not know the precise reasons moving
Mr.. Bridges to the offering of this bill, but pre-
sumo that he knows of some case just In itself,
in which the claim has been disallowed on some
secret communication of the kind referred to.
Such things have undoubtedly often hap
pened. 1t is somewhat difficult to draw the
line in the police power which ought to be
delegated to the head of the Department.
AS a rule it is safe to say that the requirement
of secresy in a business communication of this
nature, is an unsafe one. Yet it may be that
valuable information is thus rendered as the
basis and motive of an examination; for this
purpose, and this purpose alone, it would seem
to be advisable to admit it. Then if subse-
quently developed evidence, which can and
ought to be open and free to inspection, sustains
the case made in the secret paper, it will be
right to act upon such evidence, but in no case
and under no circumstances ought final action
to be had on any communication whose writer
is afraid to avow his name and purpose.
1t should never be considered as anything
but preliminary evidence, Of no Deight IN itself,
but whose indications, if followed and sustained
may he used fairly and honestly to support or
defeat any pending claim.
The more publicity is given to examinations
the better for all honest purposes; but there
must be some discretion as to suggestions which
may or may not lead to examination and de
csion.

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

w. p. Romaine. Meat Inspector, reported to the
Health Commissioners yesterday that Monday
last he seized 100 pounds OF meat at fire in No. II
vesey street. and sent 1t to the oa dock The meat
had been partly cooked by the flames and had fallen
to the cellar. where paris green thickly spread
about to destroy rats.
At two o'clock on Saturday morning last Inspector
domaine found exposed Ave different stands in
West Washington Market eighteen quarters Of beef
and other meats. which were also seized and
sent to the offa dock The inspector says the meat
badly bruised and smelled extensively and he
deemed its condemnation absolutely necessary.
Strong objection made by the owners and an
offer submitted to carry il to New Jersey The
health authorities insisted upon taking the meat to
the ofaf dock, despite the protests OF those inter-
ested and threats that action tor damages would
be set on foot.
The meat in question was bought up by specu-
1ator ut accident on the Erie road few days ago.
In which a number OF cattle killed ana wounded
and shipped on here for SALE
NO MORE RAMPANT STEERS.
The residents OF the upper part of the city will be
glad to know that the Health Board means to
tnue in force the ordinance prohibiting the driving
of cattle through the streets OF the city. The
PLOTS of 80 many young and vigorous Texan steers
who have managed to escape from their drovers have
made 1t necessary. number OF slaughter house
keepers pctitoncd the Board yesterday to reent and
issue permits as heretofore. but their request was
not granted. The Health mmissoners say the
the pens the slaughter houses by boat barge for
about onetenth OF cent apound, and this they con-
slider preferable to the gorng Of citizens and horses
at frequent intervals.
