REFORM IN CITIES.
SUGGESTIONS BY WALTER s. HUBBELL.

THE LARGE TAX RATE--INcOMPETENr OFFICIALS
EVILS OF SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
iyRoM AN oCc AsIoNAL CORRESPONDENT THE TRIBUNE
ROCHESTER,, July S.-Assemblymsn Walter 8.
Hubbell, of Rochester, took active part In the
Legislature in assisting in the passage OF bills in
the interest of municipal reform ana in defeatlng
Others designed to weaken that cause. His activity
in that direction and the prominence which this
subject promises to attain in the coming canvass
led TRIBUNE correspondent recently to request OF
Mr.. Hubbell further statement of his views on
the subject In answer to that request Mr. Hub
bell has furnished the following statement for
publication
In the New York Legislature of 1884 there were
no measures that excited moro intense interest
among the members, or whose progress was watched
with more sOlicitude by the people of the State,
than the "Aldermanic" and the sO-called " Re-
form" bills The former took from the Board OF
Aldermen of the City of New.York their confirma-
tory power; the latter, nine in number, were
drafted and introduced by special committee OF
investigation, and, among other things made the
Clerk and the Register of the City and County OF
New-York salaried officers The press of the State,
almost without notable exception, used every
effort to secure the passage of the bills; political
clubs and business men sent delegation after deie-
CATION to Albany to urge their passage and public
seemed to be unanimous in favor of the proposed
reforms 1t was not simply that these bills
affected New York City politics or that their pas
sage would cripple the working strength OF cer-
tain influential oice-holders in the great metrop-
polls, that caused the .commotion which they
created. 1t was because the taxpayers OF New
York City, for years CALLED and oppressed by tho
burdens created by inefficient laws and dishonest
officials had at last become aroused to sense OF
impending danger, and that other portions OF the
State, suffering from like evils, had caught the
"infection of reform" and as fellow sufferers
xladly contributed their assistance to secure relief
for an over-burdoned sister city,
THE ENORMOUS DEBTS OF CITIES.
And no wonder that public opinion was aroused
The condition of most of our great municipalities
furnishes an appalling picture Take for illustra-
ton the financial condition of five Of the largest
cities of the State:
