CLUES.

The Suburban Club. the representative Republican
organization Of the Twenty fourth ward, i "'Fc l"
the dangers Of the proposed legislation to cOhrh anu
make pcrmauent the power Of Tammany Hall in the
Annexed District. The resolutions adopted at The

crtice the bill which accompanied the report Of she
senate Committee rs "a political job. sugar coated
with the taay Of desire TO promote the welfare 81
taxpayersr while il was really prepared in the inter
est Of a single ambitious oiiccholicr. some OF 'io
resolutions adopted by the mcnbcrs of he cuo are:

against any change in this authority over tlc'e VAN"
such q, the bill propose. and Indignantly deny 'h"'
tb;s blu or its promoters represent popular sentiment
this subject.
Resolved That Of the two propositions cmana'lng
from the special Committee now before the senate
We greatly prefer that Of the minority, which provides
for the reduction Of the Park Commissioners l" three
instead Of four in number and leaves the jurisdiction
over these wards where it has been lodged since l7l
in the Department of Public Parks but restores 10 that
dcpaJtment the authority for opening streets. etc.
which was transferred in the year 1850 I" the Depart
ment of street Opening which transfer in our opinion
is the chief cause Of all delay in the advancement Of
public improvements. Of which complaint Is made.
