Workmen Tearing Down Historic Structure Come
Across DusI alden Bottle and Onlookers Worship
and Wonder Who viii Sample It,

There was only one bank at that
time in the city. That was the Bank
Of New York. organized by Alexander
Hamilton and chartered in 1872. 1t
was violently Fcderalist Merchants
who dared help the opposite party
soon found they had no credit and
could not cash their paper SO strong
WAS the Federalist feeling that no
other bank could have obtained Il
charter.
Burr Plays Neat Trick.
Burr saw his chance in the agitation
which followed a severe epidemic Of
yellow fever in the city in 1898. a..
crbed 10 inadequate and bad water.
With Hamilton himself. then his friend,
and other leading citizens Burr cam,
out with a big and benevolent proie q.
with a capital of 100000 an immcns,
sum for those days. to bring pure wa o.
to the city all the way from the Bronx
River.
The Legislature Jumped at the
scheme and granted Burr's Manhattan
company charter. never noticing tlc
real meaning Of the innocent clause
which read:
And be IL further enacted that AZ
shall and may be lawful for the sad
company 10 employ all such surplus
capital as may belong or accrue TO II. |
company in the purchase of public or
other stock or in any other moneycd
transactions or operations not incon-
sistcn, with the constitution and laws
OF this state or Of the United Sta.es
for the sole benefit OF said company"
Under that clause Burr at once start
cd the Bank Of the Manhattan Com
pany. This was the first audaciors
trick ever played by Tammany. No
water was ever brought from The
Bronx. Pipes we're laid to the old well
in which was found the body of Miss
Sands. for whose murder Burr obtained
the acquittal Of Levi Weekes, her
iiance. in 1900. In 1901 Burrs tank
was erected rs IA city reservoir.
II was this water company bank. ,till

the quarrel between Hamilton ana
Burr. The company continued TO SUD .
