Mayor Grants Rapid Transit bill is dead
through the action Of the Assembly yesterday
This plan seemed to promise we'll OF one nme'
ana great hopes were entertained that through
a the city would be supplied with what is SO
necessary to its comfort and convenience, ana
In fact, It's development. 1t must be said now
that the Intelligence Of the Assembly's course
win be received with much less regret than
wouid have been caused by similar action prior
tn Mayor Grants recent appointments and be-
fore he had given indications OF determine
zion 10 violate the unwritten law OF twenty
wears by converting the Police Board into a
paytisan machine. We regret that this is the
case. but 10 is certain that the confidence which
the early months of Mr.. Grants administration
ipspired has not been justified by the occur.
rences of Tho last few days.
The report of Mr.. Fish's Ceiling lnvesd-
eating Committee is o comprehensive docu-
uaept May Of the conclusions reached CORE
spond with those drawn by the Assembly Com
tnitsee ON Appropriations in the report MADE
some time ago, though the fuller information
obtained by Mr. Fish and his associates has
erahled them TO expose the ceiling job ex-
hsastivsly. The most serious part OF the report
b that which charges Superintendent Andrews,
Contractor snaith and Sub. Contractor Sullivan
With eonspirlng to dcfraud the State. The evil
descs adduced seems ample to- support tho
charge, and there ought to be no delay ia in
ssitlting Proceedings against the conspirators.
Il must be remembered that Andrews IS still
superintendent OF Public Buildings by the
grace 81 Governor Hill. How much longer will
the Governor have the hardihood TO permit
this disgrace upon the State to continuep
The killing In tho Assembly Of the bin pro-
viding for the transfer Of the pauper insane
from poorhouses TO the State asylums Is mis-
fortune. This action is attributed TO the iniiu-
ence Of the Superintendents OF the Poor. who
derive some small profits from the present thor
oughly bad system. The vote on the motion
10 strike out the enacting clause OF the bill wa.
SIS 20 As. Every consideration Of humanity
and decepcy called for the enactment Of thll
measure, since nothing Is better known thar
thas the pooshouscs Of the State ara not Fl
pIsee for the restraint OF any insane persons
