bit Hurried to-day. when they learned
OF the action Of the Clearing H ouse
Committee yesterday, In refusing t. per-
nit the Sherman Bank to change its
Clearing House agent from the Central
National Bank to the United States Ma
tional Bank.
Cashier Henry d. Northrop OF the
Sherman Bank, said to-day that the
reason his bank wished to make a
change In, its Clearing-HQuse agent was
because the State Banking Department
man Bank might have In the Central as
any part Of its reserve fundG.
That was due to the fact that the
Central Is not depository for State
FUNDS. and does not hold Itself amen
able to the State law of banking.
Before the CLEARINGHOUSE Committee
announced its decision refusing the re-
quest for the change, as made by the
Sherman Bank. II conducted an invest!-
cation into the affairs Of the latter in
stitut!on,

tiaue to act as clearing agent until

ANGRY AT FLOWER.
New Utrecht Citizens Condemn
Furgueson's Champion.
They Say the Shores Would Be
Cleaner Without an Inspector.
Town Authorities Would Then Do
What He Does Not Do.

The people Of New Utrecht are not a

ture became convinced of their futility.

Of the inspectorship will involve the re-

Copies of Ernest Harviers speech on
the extravaganza and corruption in the
Dock Department delivered at the meet
ing of the Independent County organi-
zation in the Third District last night.
were mailed this morning to the men,
bers OF the Legislature.
The master dock-builders and dredgers
who, in the interest of economy and
honest government, advocate the bill
for the abolition of the costly days
work system in the Dock Department,
consider Mr.. Harvier's speech the best
argument in favor of the speedy pas
sage of the measure. Mr.. Harvier said
in part:
The receipts Of the Dock Department
under Tammany amount to $780, 900 in
year. 1t cost under Tammany $780,
900 year to collect this sum. 1t is as

$4,000 goes for collection, the other
81 900 goes for repairs. The city gets
nothing.
Between the years 1877 and 1890, be-
fore, in fact, Tammany got control of
the Dock Board, the profit to the city
from its operations (receipts over ex-
pensesl, was s43sS,427. Nearly four and
a half millions were earned as profits
during that time. How has 1t been
since? A loss to the city, under Tam
last report. The city of New York is
now losing about quarter of a million
dollars n year on the docks"
The Independent County Organization
has been the most active Of the anti
Tammany factions in exposing the mis-
doings Of Tammany officials. In every
instance its speakers have, like Mr..
Harvier. backed up their statements
with proof.
AS a preliminary step to the campaign
they propose to inaugurate, the Counties
will continue to keep the public in
formed as to Pow the city is ruled by
Tammany. Each department will be
taken up in turn. The last shot was a
