New York. Jan. 3.-The police commits

and captains in Greater New York before

York said there would be no preference IN

statute books must be rigidly enforced,
Gambling and lottery laws were especially
alluded to.
In regard to the widely discussed ae-
ton of the old board under Theodore
Roosevelt President York said: We
don't want men detailed on the street to
arrest women for the purpose OF dis
covering disorderly houses. That is net
part of your duties as officers. but we eN-
pect you to break up such places and
enforce all violations, whether gambling
or social. The impression has gone abroad
through the public prints that the incom-
ing of this board meant that there would
be an open city. There will be none SO far
this department is concerned. but We
want the laws broadly construed and lib
orally enforced

VAN WYCk'S REMARKS.
The New Mayor Plunges Into Figures and
Makes Recommendations.

New York, Jan. 3.-Mayor Van Wycks
message to the municipal assembly,
which was read on the organization of
that body to-day, treated at length of
the financial condition of the greater
city. The document was accompanied
by lengthy tables, furnished him by
the comptroller's offices of New York
Brooklyn, Richmond and Queens. The
figures indicated a net funded debt of
the entire city of Ss27 .453 $40, and an
assessed valuation of teal estate of the
entire city of s., 464 1853 1872 There is
therefore" the mayor said, IAN appar-
ent margin within the constitutional
limit of further indebtedness of about
$40, 600 000.'
Continuing, the mayor said; This
exhibit of the financial condition of our
city l submit without further comment
than that ii must impress every one
with the stern necessity for the utmost
caution in the authorization of any
bond issues until we have provided a
greater margin as between the percent
age of our real estate valuation, pre-
scribed in the constitutional limitation,
and our outstanding net bonded debt"
Regarding the duties of his subordi-
mates, Mayor Van Wyck said: Every
one in a public station must understand
that he viii be held to strict accounta-
Dility in the honest. intelligent and
prompt discharge of such public duties
as he may undertake. In no other way
and bys no other influence can he be
certain of his position. Fidelity to the
pledges upon which the sufffages of our
citizens We're asked and secured demand
that we demonstrate the advantages of
responsibility of the government We
approve that any administration for
which a great political party stands can
be depended upon only to reward merit,
but as we'll to deal most severely with
the betrayal of the public confidence.
