First Six Chapters to Re Made Public
Next Week.
The Committee on Draft of the Greater New
York Commission expect to have the first six
chapters of the revised draft of the charter for
tho new city ready for publication some day
next week. These chapters will explain the gen.
cral system of government agreed on. The
other chapters, or many of them. will deal with
matters Of detail to make this general plan
effective.
Most of the chapters OF the proposed charter
go through the office of the Counsel to the
Corporation before they get their finishing
touches. As most OF the questions with which
the charter deals have been adjudicated on. the
assistants to the Corporation Counsel have been
valuable aids In the amendment of phraseology.
SO as TO make 1t conform to such as
have been judicially characterized. to
tho end that unnecessary litigation may
be avoided. Among the assistants to
Corporation Counsel Scott who have aided the
Committee on Draft in this way are James NJ.
Ward, who is an authority on matters pertain
ing to taxes and assessments; IL. De Forest
Baldwin on the subject of street openings and
improvements. and George l.. Sterling on many
matters which have come under his notice
during his long service In the law department..

SITE OF HARLEM,s VIEW SCHOOL.
Shall It he Central or Over to the East OF
Park Avenuee

Park Avenuee
The Committee on Sites of the Board Of Edu-
cation. which has for some time been trying TO
locate a new schoolhouse In the neiRhborhood
OF 126th street, has stirred up all Harlem. The
committee has considered particularly three
sites. ono in 126th street, between Fifth and
LenoI avenues. enc at the corner OF l26th street
and Madison avenue. and one in 127th street.
between Madison and Park avenues. They
gave a hearing at the hall of the Board yester-
day.
Alfred G. Compton thought that q school
house should not be erected between Park and
Sixth avenues, where a site would cost more.
where more valuable property would be de-
preclated. and whore school children were fewer
than east of Park avenue. He had in mind a
ate in 126th street, between Park and Lexing-
ton avenues, which Is assessed at $57. 600. In
stead OF the $4,000 at which one of the Gen.
trail sites proposed 10 assessed.
125th. street Is overcrowded, said that hardly
any of his children came from east of Park ave-
nue., and he urged the selection OF . central or
western site.
Judge Allison said that there was no demand
anywhere for u school near Madison avenue and
and Fifth avenues. He was for an eastern site.
Commissioner Van Arsdale remarked that tho
committee wanted to make tho city's money go
as far as possible. and that they didn't suppose
they could make q selection without displeasing
somebody.
The site Is yet to be chosen. 1t came out In
tho discussion that even q girls school. in the
opinion OF ex-ABsemblym man George u. Webster.
would be an injury to tho neiRhDorhood OF
handsome residences under consideration.

At the meeting of the Police Board Today

has anything TO do with the selling Of liquor
contrary to the Raines law. The laws rela-

of the Building Department are so plain that
Mr.. Constable's letter IL regarded as ridicu-
lous. Commissioner Andrews said yesterday
that Mr.. Constable had been furnished with a
list of 2.lOO Raines law hote,s for inspection.
Chief Conlin said:
THE police will look after violations of tho
liquor law. 1t is their duty and not Mr.. Con-
Stables. No one ever said his department
had anything to do with 1t. 1t is Mr.. Con-

ELECTRICITY ON THE NEW IA YEN.
Contracts Signed Yesterday for an EIeo-
trIc Power Plant Mt Berlin.

HARTFORD. Conn.,, Dec. 15.-Contracts were
signed to-day for the construction of an cleo
trio power station at Berlin. which will be the
biggest plant of its kind known to the electric
world. The electrical equipment of the Nan
tasket branch by the Consolidated road was the
first step toward the operation Of the trunk line
by electricity, and the construction Of this i'm
mense power station ut Berlin is the second.
The new plant will be supplied with the best
and most modern apparatus. 1t will from q
central point operate the Berlin and Middle
town branches and the New England tracks
from New Britain TO Hartford. 1t will also
operate the electric system in Merideu. and
light all the railway stations, including the ono
at Hartford. This will DO the first electric
plant which has ever operated lines running in
four different directions.
The railroad officials In this country and in
Europe have been watching closely each step
taken by the Consolidated road toward tho
adoption Of electricity for motive power. A

fear nothing from the trolley lines.
THE steam road is not the enemy of tho

$4,000 per mile for the tracks and n few extra
tons OF coal. The street railway companies are
overlooking their real enemies. These are the
municipalities, which demand lower fares and
increased taxation. Then the spectators Sc
cure franchises by making promises they can
not keep. and forcing the existing companies to
take largely from their profits to get rid of rival
concerns. These are their real enemies, and
they will all realize 1t before long"
