Alfred T. White and Gen. C. T. Christen-
sen. President of the Brooklyn Trust
Company, as heavy taxpayers, brought
suit in the Supreme Court against Mayor
from paying any part OF the Excise
money of the city 10 the 1nebriates'
LONE.
The suit was a friendly one, brought
to decide a technical point, and was sug-
gested by Mayor Body after he had
become acquainted with some of the in
side facts Of the Management OF the in
stitution.
Fer ten years." said Mr.. White to
an Evening World reporter to-day. at
had been a question whether the city
collected in the city to an institution out
side its limits.
Gen. christensen and myself became
interested in the matter, and we found
that Brooklyn paid out about 100000 a
year to the Inebriates' Home. which l
believe practically pays all the running
expenses of the institution. The Home
is really a private asylum, and the city
whatever.
although we pay 100000 a year for
the support Of the Home,i the admission ADJ i,lf
diction of its Executive Committee. The
city mas no voice in the matter, mir
can we compel then 20 take a single
do so. Brooklyn. pays the expenses of
the Home. and the profits go Into the
pockets of those persons who run 1t.
1t borders on extortion.
Before the suit was brought l vis-
tied the Home, and in talking to Mr.;
Church. Mr.. Furgueson's rlght-hand
man, l told him that It would. IN my
had a bill introduced in Albany. COM
polling Brooklyn to contribute S6o,OO, a
year towards the support Of his gold
where else he chose to designate; .
"Of course, MIR. Church did not look at
1t in that way. but TO me 1t seemed out
rageous tina Brooklyn should be saddled
with the expenses of that institution,
and ! determined that the courts should
settle the matter forever.
Justice Cullen decided that the law as
framed was sound, and that the Court
had no power to interfere. Nevertheless,
while 1t may be a good statute law. 1t
Is not equity. and unless the law Is re-
pealed the people of Brooklyn will be
compelled to support this institution for
ages and pay more Tor its support than
is paid towards the maintenance Of any
institution of its own"
Just to show how ridiculous Is the idea
that this Home Is in any way a State
affair 1t may be said that Furgueson has
his dog kennels on the grounds which
the money of the city of Brooklyn
bought as a site for the Institution. And
the excise money of Kings County buys
the meats that these dogs eat!

SoItN ELlto i ftbt ESo4S'
Every taxpayer In Brooklyn and Kings
County will be interested in the facts
which are here made public.
1t does not seem possible that the
laws OF the State Legislature could be
90 juggled to suit the convenience Of
Boss Furgueson and his methods that
nearly ONE MILLION DOLLARS could
disappear mysteriously like ships hat
pass in the night" and that a public
Institution maintained by public funds
could o, conducted as a private insti-
tuition with a private income in some
years larger han the appropriation
annually made for its maintenance; that
the confirmed drunkards confined in :hc
Institution could be driven like sleep on
election day 10 the polls at Fort Ham
ilton to .vose for FurSucson for super
vis5r.
An this may explain the secret Of Boss
Furgueson's power and wealth.
Back from the bluffs at Fort Hamilton
on the sloping ridge, looking out over
New York Bay. stand the four-story
red brick building known as the Inc
briates' Home OF Kings County. 1t re-
minds one OF the normal school building
of a Western State. Built in 1870 ut Il
cost of $1,000, with an addition costing
5000 constructed some years later, the
home stands well preserved. Surround

Of asylum or prison about the place. 1t

says only fifty.
According TO DIR. Blanchard's statement
the Home has now n surplus fund of
100000 in the hands of Cornelius Fur
sueson. the amount being invested in
bonds and mortgages. A this surplus Is
rot reported to either the State or county,
no ordinary citizen knows the exact
amount, and the SUM stated b. Dir.
Blanchard Is presumably correct. He has

of the Home for the last twenty-five
wears Is easily. obtained. The pay pa
tients or boar1ers for the twenty-five
years lave averaged forty per week.
These boarders pay from $40 to $40 per
week. Fifteen dollars per week would
be Il fair average. This gives an in
come of 5000 per week, S3l, 200 per year,
or 1855, 400 in twenty-five years.
