THE DRAINAGE OF CENTRAL PARK.
CRIMMINs's STATEMENTS SHARPLY

laid there was no record kept oil them anu ne

were flooded, but all that Is bettered now
Mr. Crimmins Is entirely mistaken in this. When the
Park was originally laid out complete system Of subsoh
drainage was one the first matters to which the aten
tion>f the Commissioners directed. The Park was
divided into sections each having its own plan but con
nected with system "a a whole. Tie Work was
placed in charge of Colonel George Z. Warng IT., with
Colonel l. L Mapes and Mr. Berrngor as his assistants
Colonel warng planned aud supervised, Colonel Mapes
ran the levels aud courses and Mr. Berrnger dld the
plane table work and superintendent the mapping Datum
stones were set so that II It necessary to find drain

Elaborate and carefully made maps were prepared and
everything done to enable any person to understand the

The drains were all laid from two and half to four feet
or more deep SO that If any have been pOughed up 1t
must be due to after changes in the plan OF the PARK

Neic- York. June IL, 1884
THE securing of good jurymen is certainly serl-
Gus matter, and there is force in one or two OF
"Jurymans" suggestions. But experience has not
shown that the remedy proposed by him would be
an efficient one. In criminal cases IN the General
Sessions jurymen are now paid by the county %
day. In the opinion Of the Judges and the Commas
sioner of Jurors the result has been to lower the
grade of Jurors in that court. Men of worthless
character and unfit to sit in the jurybOx have con-
tinued 70 get their names placed and retained upon
the iury-rols and have served week after week for
the sake OF the 81 a day; and it has been found
necessary TO erase from the rolls the names of sew
eral hundred such persons. Commissioner Caul-
field has had recent interviews with the Recorder
and other Judges with the view of having law
passed which shall make the pay OF Jurles IN the
criminal the same as In the civil courts
In civil courts the pay fifty cents for an inquest
and one dollar for each trial on which the juror
sits. 1t is possible that the system in operation in
Kings County would work to good advantage in
New-York There each juror is paid twenty-five
cents by the plaintiff in each case, and he receives
an additional 81 day from the county. But after
a Juror has served for week in either the GRIM
inal or civil branch he is excused for year A
person. whatever his means, must be indeed lacking
in public spirit who would be unwilling to give hve
days in year to this service, If he were sure TO De
exempt for the other hfty-One weeks.-Ed
