PRESIDENT YORK PUZZLED OVER THE AMEND
MENT RELATING TO POLICE NATIONS
What appears to be serious discovery for the
matrons employed IN the police stations Of the city
is the finding by President York OF the Police
Board that the amendment TO the charter in rela-
ton TO appointments OF police matrons which tho
matrons themselves pushed through until 1t
passed and signed by the Governor may actually
egislate them out Of office. There appears 10 be
peculiar wording of the amendment all Of which
reads in the future tense. but not a single word,
President York said yesterday, refers to the pres
ent matrons, and IL looks If they not police
matrons. There are sixty-one Of the matrons alto
gether.
President York has asked the Corporation Coun-
sci for opinions several points OF the amend
ment, and he says that the Board must stand
intelligent ground before any proceedings be
taken OF any kind. He has asked specifically II
the present matrons ere legslated out OF ofhce by
must be reappointeO.

MR.. WHALEN WAITING.
TO BEGIN THE LEGAL FIGHT NEAT
WEEK UNLESS COUNCIL ACTS.
THE CONTROLLER HAS ABOUT GIVEN UP
HoPE-A TABLE SHOWING WHAT BOND
ISSUES THE ASSEMBLY IS
HOLDING UP

Controller Coer said yesterday that he had
about lost hope that the Council could be brought
to take action the bond issues for public I'M
provements which had been held up so long, I'M
less the Corporation Counsel brought mandamus
proceedings in the courts. He had applied to
Corporation Counsel Whalen. he said and Mr.
Whalen was still considering the application
Mr. Whalen said yesterday: II do not intend to
institute mandamus proceedings until I am con-
WINGED that proceedings are necessary. / am not
convinced yet for have received Information To-
day from members of the Council that the dead
lock will be broken soon. Assurances nave
reached me that the Council Committee on Bor-
ough Affairs will agree next Friday to report the
100000 bond issue for paving next Tuesday. and
1 have reasons to believe that the other bond Is
sues will go through in the near future. consider
It unwise therefore. to rush TO the courts at this
time.
IF have been misinformed about the inten-
lions Of the Councmen and they persist In mold
ing up the bond issues. will begin the legal night
next week and you may be sure that II do be-
gin 1t nothing will be left undone to compel the
Council to act / think, however, that the bust
ness be settled amicably. At least one OF the
Councilmen who voted against the 100000 appro-
priation yesterday will for 1t at the next meet
ing l refer to Councilman O'Grady, OF Staten
Island. You may hear OF more changes OF heart
by next Friday 1t is my idea just now. anyhow
that we can more easily accomplish the results we
desire by talking the matter over with the Cd
structionists than by fighting them in the courts

WORKS TO COST ABOUT 100000
At the meeting Of the Board Of Public Improve
ments in Manhattan yesterday afternoon reso-
luton was adopted authorizing the construction
of a cast-iron pipe conduit from the Milburn
engine house to the gate chamber at Spring Creek.
in the Borough OF Brooklyn
Before the adoption Of this measure the board
considered a former resolution authorizing the
construction OF a steel pipe conduit between these
points at cost of 100000. This resolution has
been hung up for the last five months in the
Municipal Assembly.
Complications have arisen from the fact that
Mr. McAneaney. the contractor had received the
contract for the construction OF the steel conduit
under the administration Of Mayor Schieren, OF
Brooklyn about five years ago. The absolute
necessity for Improvements in the Brooklyn water
system Commissioner Dalton stated. prompted
him to substitute this resolution Engineer Brdsal
stated that at the present price of steel the first
proposed conduit would now cost about 100000.
while the cast-iron conduit which will last longer,
Will cost only about 81 600 600 The iron conduit will
be forty-eight inches In diameter
