A RETORT TO HOLAHAN.

ments, for talking in opposition 70 the Ramapo
scheme, and that he was accused Of wanting 70
be Sheriff of Kings County Mr. Shea said in the
afternoon: With all respect 10 Mr. Holahan I
would sooner serve the people Of Kings County
as Sheriff than serve the Ramapo Water Com
pany. The one service would be more honor
able. IL not profitable. the other.
President Holahan was in sarcastic hurnor
yesterday morning when the Ramapo Job was
mentioned 70 him. I know Of no change in the
sentiments OF those who voted for the contract, y
he said
But Mr. Coler SAYS the scheme is dead"
Mr.. Coler says a great many things II Is
we'll there are few honest men in the Board 70
protect the dear people l can only say that
voted in the interest Of these dear people 70 give
them supply OF water which In my opinion
and in the opinion Of experts Is not only neces-
sary but pressing. and IL the contract is de-
feated those responsible for encompassing its
defeat will have to shoulder the responsibility
for a water famine in case there should be one
before other steps have been taken 70 furnish
the city with necessary supply
William G De Witt who drew the original
draft OF NETWORKS charter, is at Long Beach
When seen yesterday about the Ramapo water
contract he said.
My tentative draft Of the Greater New-Tork
charter contained the system Of single headed
departments The idea Of creating department
board Of public improvements. made UP OF the
Leads Of the several administrative departments,
together with the presidents OF the ooroughs
and the Mayor, was introduced in the committee
by Commissioner Seth Low, and was finally
adopted In this board all local Improvements
were to be originated The section Of the
charter concerning the acquisition Of water was
taken from the old New-York City charter, and
changed only so as 70 apply IL TO the new BODY
or Board OF Public Improvements. Personally. /
preferred the single headed department and the
absolute power OF the Mayor with short term
anc the unrestricted right Of removal but. OF
course I Welded 70 the majority Of my asso-
ciates
The proceedings by which II vas attempted
to make the contract with the Ramapo Water
Company were unauthorized by the charter
which requires all public works TO be given 70
the lowest bidder after due competition. l DO not
care a rap what municipal officers or judges
who know nothing about the charter may say
that is the way the charter was written ana as
it was intended Il should be The gigantic out
rage contemplated destitute OF proper au-
thoritv Il violates a cardinal provision OF the
charter and was as destitute Of validity as II
was Of honesty and good sense II Is one thing
70 make a charter and quite another to properly
administer and construe It

troll enough stock to do this, but he
was a broker, and this did not
worry him. He sold the control
just the same as if he did own it,
contracting to deliver It in sixty
days. Then he returned to San
Francisco to make good his word.
He started in buying small lots,
but with such extreme reluctance
that the bears were deceived into
unloading on him all the stock they
had. So successful was he in his
ruse that the price Of the stock ac-
tually declined under his manipula-
tons. A control once gained, he
asked for the management of the
company, which was perforce turn
ed over to him. He filled his con-
tract with the Hawaiian planters,
pocketed the difference in the buy
ing and selling price, and both he
and those who stood with him in
the pool were not only saved from
loss, but came out with riches from
the deal.
