CHARITIES REPORT
NEED OF SUPERVISION
State Board Would Include
P1uate Institutions.

Albany. Jan. S.-State supervision OF all
private charitable institutions and assocl-
atious not now subject to visitation and
inspection by the State Board of Charities,
even if not in receipt of public money, is
recommended by the board in its forthcom-
ing report to the Legislature. The board
also suggests that ali such institutions be
required to submit annual reports of their
activities.
Under a decision of the Court of Appeals
in what was known as the Gerry case, in
1899, charitable societies and institutions un-
der private control which are not in re-
ceipt of state money arc excluded from
the benefits of state inspection and super
vision. During the ten years since this
decision was rendered the number of such
societies and institutions has increased from
about six hundred TO more than seven hun
dred and fifty Their annual expenditures
are estiIna ted at more than sl0,00o,0OO and
they have many thousands OF beneficiaries
and inmates The report says:
As these asylums. hospitals, reformatU-
rleS. homes, agencies, societies and other
similar organizations entirely supported
by private funds in their charitable work
are not required by law to report to any
state department, the statistics of their
and those compiled and published by the
state are inaccurate, incomplete and con-
sequently misleading in regard to the
number of persons wholly or partially
maintained by charity and to the value of
property, endowments and foundations de-
voted to charitable purposes, and also to
the incomes received and their expenditure.
Their work is of vital interest to the
public; and the state has the right to in
Slst that they perform their duties well
ana faithfully, and to know from frequent
examinations that they administer their
affairs affair, honestly, that they devote their

extent the state should exercise supervi-

posed freight yard site was above the
grade of the surrounding streets and very
much above the grade of the existing rail-
way.
OPINION ON C4TYS LIABILITY.
The Grade Crossing Commission, in its
report to the Corporation Counsers office
stating these facts, wanted to know
whether or not under the law the city was
compelled to share one-haIf of the cost of
these extensive betterments to the railways
The Corporation Counsel. in reply, stated
that, in his opinion, the law made it man
datory upon The city to pay one-half the
cost OF elevating depressing the entire
width of the rights of way. He declared
however, that upon sections where the
railway was operated in an open cut with
no grade crossings at the time the act
was passed any improvements called for
in the fled plans should be carried out at
the railway company's sole expense. The
same opinion, even more strongly expressed,
applied to the plans for eXcavating to the
proposed grade of the railway the tract of
land for freight yard
Threats made by the railway company
that il would order the stoppage of all
work upon the Improvement brought about
a conference. which resulted in a compro-
mise opinion being given by the Corpora
ton Counsel resembling his former opin
ion regarding the proposed improvement Of
the railway over that section where no
grade crossings existed and also asserting
to the freight yard depression plan.
Former Controller Metz, supported by
detailed reports from his engineers, took
a strong stand against this Interpretation
of the law by the Corporation Counsels
office. and said that the plans filed by
the railway companies involved a gigantic
additional track and grade betterment
scheme for which the city was not legally
liable. For two years the Controller bonn
barded the citys legal department with
requests for a revision of these opinions,
and supported the requests with voluminous
reports from his engineers. Finding that
the facts and arguments contained in these
reports brought no response, the Controller
began holding up claims forwarded him for
payment as the citys share of the cost of
the work at the same time continuing
his demands that the Corporation Counsers
Office should revise its opinions, so as to
protect the city's interests.

URGES NEW COPPER POLICY.
Selling Too Cheaply to Europe, Daniel
Guggenheim Says.

President Daniel Guggenheim Of the
American Smelling and Refining Company
said yesterday in discussing the copper
industry lhat many changes would have
to be made in the business methods of the
producers of this country. He said that
European governments and producers of
various commodities needed here were
combining to limit production and sell to
the United states at the highest possible
prices.
Our claim seems to be to sell our prod
ucts, especially copper. TO European con
sumers at panic prices continued Mr..
Guggenhein. The people of the United
States are throwing away millions of dol
lars every year, wasting the mineral re-
sources of this country by this bad eco
nomic policy. and some means should be
devised whereby this unsatisfactory con-
dition may be done away with. The sup
plies of the mines, which can be measured
and which are not inexhaustible oy any
means, arc being depleted. with no meas
urable profit TO the producer"
In advocating the plan by which the
government should take a hand in the cop
per producing situation Of the United
States Mr.. Guggenheiml said
while l deprecate all unnecessary in
ierference Win business matters on the
part OF our government yet I appreciate
this necessity and cannot but admire the
results which have been attained by the
German government by its efforts TO
foster the welfare of German commerce.
Many articles of German production, like
our production of copper are largely eX-
ported. and the government of Germany
has taken a lively interest in so regulating
the production and sale of such articles
as 10 bring about great return to the
German Empire from their exports as the
economic situation would warrant"
