through the channels of legislation. Why
was not Mr.. PoTTER's protest needed Is
there such venom in the Congressional breast

to grant pensions to anybody n everybody
for whatsoever cause or without cause on the
plea of generosity. but until now We did not
know that q man was powerless to escape q

TO STOP $999 CONTRACTS.
COMMISSIONER GILROY STARTS A REFORM
IN MINOR PUBLIC WORKS.

COMMISSIONS Of Public Works Gilroy has in
augurated perhaps one Of the most substantial
reforms which will characterize the administra-
ton Of the Department.
One Of the means by which places were pro-
vided for the hungry hangers-on of political
parties in power was the passage by separate
resolutions Of ordinances providing for the Law
ing Of cross-walkS and other minor street i'm
provementR.
Each Of these improvements required the en-
ployment of a surveyor and inspector and fore
man, and for each Of these positions there was
always a heller to be placed. In each case, too,
a separate assessment had to be made.
This resulted i'll an unnecessary expenditure
OF the public moneys and also allowed Of the
letting of 5000 contracts TO favored contractors.
Commissioner Gilroy has studied the question
and has found out whore q great deal Of money
can be saved to the taxpayers.
Accordingly he has sent q memoriAl to the
Board OF Aldermen asking for the Incorporation
into one ordinance of resolutions for between
twenty and thirty improvements Of this charac-
ter, the passage of which no had previously
recommended to the Board.
He stated as his reason for 80 doing that he
desired that the contracts should be Of public
letting and the expense OF employing an un-
necessary, number OF surveyors and inspectors
saved to the city.

FROM THE FORCE.

Half n Chinaman used to amble up and

was of good height, of comedy appearance,
and q strong, good-natured chap.
He was the only ChinAman on the Metro

man on II. because Mr.. Assing has resigned.
His record was excellent, but he wished to
better himself, and 30 he has gone into
trucking. He was engaged in this before he
went on the force in July, 1884.
He is ar American citizen, and his father,
though full blooded Chinaman, has had out

But his speech Is thoroughly American.

try since lS48. He married an Irish woman.

town store, were educated at the Vandewater
street grammar school. They are both intel
ligent, fine young men.
The father is we'll known and has q certain
pull in the Fourth Ward. -.
William went on the force under Republi-
can auspices. He gave thorough satisfaction
by the way he acquitted himself Of his duty
as a policeman.
He was generally on duty in the neighbor-
hood OF the Oak Street Station.
William felt that he could make more
money by trucking than he could by carrying
q locust and wearing the blue. This is his
sole reason for throwing up his position. He
will have two or three trucks and do business
on Water street.
All good luck to Mr.. Assing in his new
career. If he makes as good q success of his
new business as he did of being q policeman,
he will have every occasion to be satisfied,
and there Is little doubt but that he will.
Notwithstanding his Chinese father. Will
