he would be made First Deputy Police
Commissioner, the job he held under
Waldo, in case the Mayor picks another
Commissioner.
Commissioner Mckay had nothing to
say as to policies or as to appointment
of deputies. He said last evening before
leaving Headquarters for his home that
the situation in the department at present
demanded no appointment Of deputies.
Unless an emergency arises the present
organization could exist for several days.

with the Mayor, but Mr. Mitchell made no
sugge stions. Nothing was discussed as To

The Commissioner received a visit In

friend. lie discussed certain questions
with several OF his inspectors. but his

NIXON PUBLIC WORKS
HEAD IN RICHMOND
Shipbuilder, and for a short
Time Tammany Leader.
Accepts Job.

Lewis Nixon. shipbuilder and once
leader OF Tammany Hall for six months.
has been appointed Commissioner OF Pub
lie Works in the Borough of Richmond at
a salary of 5000 a year. Charles J. Nc
Cormack. the new Borough President of
Richmond. announced Mr. Nixon's ap-
pointment yesterday Mr.. Mccormack
was one of the few Tammany candidates
who survived the November deluge. He
said last night that II had been . hard
job to get Mr.. Nixon 10 take the place
He was glad he had succeeded, and now
Mr.. Nixons friends are saying that Staten
Island will be on the map.
1t was explained last night that one of
the chief complaints against the admins
tration Of George Cromwell. who had been
President Of Richmond borough since con-
solidation and was turned down at the
last election. had TO do with the way the
office OF Commissioner OF Public v ,rks
had been run.
II was said many times In the cam
paign that Louis l.. Tribus. Mir. Crom-
wells Commissioner had spent too much
money building Staten Island highways
So Mr.. Mccormack cast about for the
right man to take the Job in his admin
stration. and decided that the man was
Lewis Nixon.
Dock Question Not Much involved
Mr.. Nixon's record as a shpbuilder
raised the question last night as to
whether or not Mr.. Mccormack intends
to push the development OF docks or
Staten Island. II was denied that such
was his purpose, chiefly on the ground
that the Borough Presidents. aside from
the fact that they are members of the
Board OF Estimate. have very little 10
say about dock construction. Mr.. Nixon's
principal work. 1t was said, will he build.

ASK WATER EXTENSION
Proposal to Lay Mains to Orphanage
Up to Commissioners

The petition which was circulated
around town at the instance OF the
Commercial club, asking the city
commissioners to authorize laying
mains and pumping water to the
orphanage grounds, was presented
to the commissioners at their session
this morning. No action has been
taken as yet and the commissioners
have not committed themselves as
to what action they will take.
Estimates reported to the COM
missioners by Keny Il Riddle, city
engineer, give the figures for such
an extension of the water system.
The cost of laying a 4-inch main to
the south line of the college prop
erty, a distance of $500 feet, and
pinch main from that point to the
base of the hill, the water plane Of
equilibrium, a distance of 1000
feet, would be $23S4. This would
supply the water for the orphanage.
1t is estimated 800 patrons would
be required to make this proposition
pay the interest on the investment at
once, but the advocates of laying
the mains to the grounds argue
that the general benefit to be de-
rived from the orphanage would
counterbalance any possible yearly
loss to the city. The building up CT
the property along Buckeye north
would add to the number Of patrons
Of the extension.
The orphanage, at the point where
the mains would reach the base of
the hill, could put in booster
pump for about 5000. The 1000 feet
of 2-inch main, reported in the en-
gineer's estimate, would supply
enough water for the institution, but
would not afford fire protection.
The orphanage could ley this 1000
feet from the south line of their
property to the base of the hill with
4-inch main at an expense of 500.
Installation of the booster pump
and motor and slight additional ex-
penses would add about 500, so
that the orphanage could, at an ex-
pense of $1,000, assure itself of not
only ample water supply but also
adequate fire protection.
The fact that those who have in
charge the establishment of the
orphanage have been unable to state
definitely hcw many persons will be
at the orphanage or just what would
be the probable consumption OF
water, has kept the commissioners
up in the air over the matter.
