OLD CHARTER

Justice Rischoff. Of the Supreme Court, decidco
IN an opinion handed down yesterday, that, tnough
the new charter reduces the compensate OF COM
,nissioners Of Estimate and Appraisal appointed
70 award compensation for lands acquired by the
city from so day to Sc day. this reduction
does not apply to commissioners appointed before
the charter came into operation who had begun
their work prior to January 1, 1855
The decision was rendered an application
made by John De Witt Warner. William McCar-
thy and Robert Kelly Prentice the Commissioners
who passed on the claims made by the property
owners from whom the lands for the Improve
ment of Webster-ave were acquired Inc COM
missioners alleged that the work performed py

amounting to over $4,000 and mad passed on leo
additional claims made after they had prepared
their preliminary report.
The Corporation Counsel opposed the motion on
the ground that the work for which the extra
compensation was asked performed after the
new charter was in operation and that the char-
ter makes provision for extra compensation
The legal rate Of compensation prior to jan
