BROOKLYN.
THE LEGISLATURE CRITICISED.
Justice Gaynor Says a Law Plainly
Shows the "'Prentice Hand"
Ex-Assistant Record Keeper Lyman
Denied Reinstatement.

Justice Gaynor, of the Supreme Court.
Brooklyn, this morning handed down a
decision denying the petition OF Peter
Lyman for reinstatement as assistant
bookkeeper of the Hall of Records. JUS
tice Gaynor criticized the Legislature for
passing the law governing the case In
point, which, he holds. shows plainly
the "prentice hand" His opinion in
substance Is:
On Dec 2s 1898, the Board Of Supervisors OF
Kings Couty passed n resolution reappointing the
petitioner as assistant keeper OF the County Hall
Of Records for and during the year 1894. he hay
ing been previously appointed 10 the place for the
year 1893. on Feb 26, 1894, the Board OF Super
vipors rescinded the resolution and removed the
petitioner without any cause having been assigned
and q hearing had thereon. The pc
titioner claims his removed was Illegal and asks
. for q mandamus to renstate him. Chapter 577 OF
the laws Of 1855 made veteran volunteer hremen
appointed to saared positions irremoyable except
for cause after a hearing. 1t liz claimed
that this act exempts from Its scope persons APP
pointed for a definite term The petitioner was
appointed for one year.
The act provides that no person holding posi-
tion by appointment In any city or county of this
stae. otr who may hereafter be appointed, receiv-
ing a salary from such city or county unless he
has been appointed for definite term who II an
honorably discharged soldier, &c, shall be re-
moved &C. The phraseology and construction are
bungling and indicate the prentice hand. so
common to our statutes In later years; but
think the parenthetical exception was used only
to make It impossible for persons appointed for
definite terms to claim that by reason Of the act
they could still hold their places after the expira-
tisn u their terms. This may seem absurd eau
tiop, and therefore not to be attributed to the
LEGISLATURE, but the courts must get some mean
ing GU OF the exception. ANY other construction
would be wholly unreasonable.

erty avenues and crushed to death. The

avenue station.
After hearing the testimony Of sew
eral witnesses, the jury declared that
the Company deserved censure for fall
ing to erect fences around the yard and
TO provide watchmen to keep the children
outside.
Fannie Werner, fourteen years old, of
16 Crescent street, was returning from
confirmation services on June 10. and as
she got within few doors of her home

TAXES MAY Be REDUCED,
Cutting Brooklyn Budget Saves
the City Nearly 81, 100000.
Aldermen Expected a Favor, but
Were Disappointed.

After cutting the city and county bud

cost of expenses Of the city and county

the brooklyn Board OF Estimate met
this morning and found that the amount
only exceeded the 2 per cent. limit by
500, AHA. This is exclusive of the cost of
operating the new wards recently an
nexed to the city.
The tabulated statement prepared by
Secretary Price for Mayor Schieren will
be greeted as cheerful news to the tax
payers, as 1t Is possibly the first time
in the recent history Of the city when
the expenses have been reduced over
the preceding year. 1t has always been
the custom to allow an increase OF 8
per cent. in the amount asked by every
department each year to meet the ex-
penses attending the natural growth
OF the city and county. This has ac-
counted for the annual increase in the
tax rate.
BY saving nearly a million dollars
nounced that instead of increasing the
tax rate he hoped this year to reduce
1t about one cent.
The city has many extra expenses 10
county towns. and II was expected that
an increased tax rate would be unavoid-
able.
The budget Is now cut down to the
minimum figure, and the Board this
morning could not cut the extra s66, Ooi
out until the various appropriations al
ready allotted had been RECONSTRUCTED
The Board was forced to adjourn unit
/ the Corporation Counsel could form ar
! opinion regarding the expenses of the
newly ANNEXED towns, which Is esti

II this amount has to be counted IT
IL will make the total $780, 900 to be still
cut from the city budget.
Mayor Schieren thinks. however
that the extra 100000 will be charged
against the assessed valuation In tn,
