700 rs for 10l9 maternity cases There are
thirty-nlne private hospitals in the city
Of Greater New York to which the city
sends it's patients the public hospitals
being the very smallest part Of its work
The city paid last year 1868. 739. SO, or IL

treatment to it's city dependents The
private hospitals in the city have prop
erty valuation Of 81, 2S5 S7o95, and what
was said about the care Of delinquent and
dependent children in the private inst-
tutions is equally true Of the care be
slowed upon the city patients in the pri-
waite hospitals.
The Church Charities.
There are of all denominations 1912
churches in New York, and nearly every
one of them carries on some kind Of
charitable work No estimate of tins
is included in what is called the city
work. but the aggregate Of all they do
is several millions of dollars. There are
single churches that expend more than
sl0o,O V0 per annum in charity work alone.

a charity society expends over $4,000 an
nually. From all of the foregoing it.
should lie seen that New York is con
splcuous in the educational and char
liable world.
1T is fair to say that the managers
Of the institutions are alert to the exi-
sencies and possibilities Of their work,
many Of them are attending this con
ventiOn and it is certain as 3 result IF
the stimulus received here that there
Will be increased activities and improve

country for all classes.
Perhaps the most striking character
istic of the work Of the city Of New
York, apart from the magnitude OF its
operations is the closeness Of touch be-
tween the managers OF the institutions
and the comptroUer's office The repre-
sentatives OF the Institutions, by letter,
visitation and telephone, are almost in
inressdnt communicad ton, and there IS
what might fairly be called d continuous

THE ASPHALT PAYMENTS.

The city authorities seem to be Ioos-
ing patience with the company which
has the contract for keeping the as
phalt pavements in repair. They have
good reason. For many months the
pavements have been in a dilapidated
condition, and the city authorities have
been notifying the company that if
repairs were not made promptly they
would hold it responsible for damages.
Now it seems point has been reached
where they propose to notify the insur-
ance company that is on the asphalt
company's bond that the streets will
have to be repaired at once or action
will be taken on the bond.
The contract which the city has with
the asphalt company requires the as
phalt pavements to be kept in good
repair. 1t is evident that this con-
tract has been grossly violated. Every
citizen knows that the streets are in a
bad condition and have been for a long
time. Indeed. 1t is doubtful, except
for short periods. If the contract has
been lived UP to In letter or in spirit.
1t looks very much as If the asphalt
company felt that 1t could do just
about as it pleased in the matter,
thinking doubtless that the city couldn't
get any other company to make the re-
pairs.
There certainly ought to be some way
to make the asphalt company comply
with its contract. 1t can hardly ex-
pect that 1T will get the contract price
for keeping the streets in repair when,
as matter of fact, they have not been
so kept. The city authorities will
hardly be acting fairly by the people
If they pay the asphalt company the
full contract price for keeping the
streets in repair. The fact that
the people have had to put up for
months with asphalt streets that are
full of holes ought to be ground for a
pretty big reduction in the amount that
the city agreed to pay for repair work.
But the people are not complaining
about the amount the city agreed to
pay for the repair work. What they
want is that the asphalt streets shall
be kept in good condition. The asphalt
company has failed to keep the streets
in repair and they want steps taken
that will compel the asphalt company
to comply strictly with the letter Of its
contract. How this is to be done the
city must decide. 1t is evident that
unless the company is held strictly to
the letter of the contract the people
win have to put up with asphalt
streets that will be full of holes pretty
much all the time.
