Committee OF Seventy. from DIR. Richard H. Derby.
the well-known PHYSICIAN whose professional
training and wide experience give great weight 10
his observations concerning the sanitary coud!-
ton of New-York under Tammany's corrupt rule.
Dr. Derby says among other things that. not
withstanding an Increase I'm the Appropriation for
street cleaning from $l,eD.Nm TO more than $780,
0W I'm seyen years. the department is inferior and
incompetent and the condition OF the streets H. Il
menace to public health. The doctor rightly says
that the shortcomings Of tn" city government in
handling the Street Cleaning Department have
repeatedly been pointed out by those Interested Ia
this important question, but though great outlnvs
of money have been made. the spirit and letter Of
the law have been n elected. He further says
that "a proper system of ventilation and necessary
reconstruction of public schools. the breeding
places for contagious diseases among children,
have been overlooked. while large appropriation
have been made for the construction Of 4 speedway
for the benefit of Il few. 1t IS because Of such
gross neglect and Incompetence concerning the
most important matters Of sanitary regulation
