P a y R o l l s .

It is considered that a fair and equitable proportion of the expense to be incurred for the purpose would be thirty per cent, to be assessed upon the property and estates deemed to be benefited thereby, and the balance of seventy per cent, upon the city at large.

The Committee, therefore, recommend that thirty per cent, of the expense of acquiring title and constructing the contemplated park shall be assessed upon the property and estates comprised within an area extending to a line on the north drawn parallel to and one hundred feet north of Canal street; on the east to a line parallel to the easterly line of the Bowery, Chatham Square and Park Row, and one hundred feet beyond each of those streets ; on the south to a line parallel to and one hundred feet south of Pearl street ; and on the west to a line parallel to and one hundred feet west of Elm street, as shown by a red line of demarcation of such territory upon a map prepared by Mr. Eugene E. McLean, Engineer of the Finance Department, under the direction of the Committee, and herewith submitted.

The assessed valuation of the land and tenements embraced within the proposed park, shown upon the lax books for the year 1887, is $399,250, and as the assessed value may be assumed to be atom sixty per cent, of the actual marketable value, the expense of acquiring the title to the prop­erty may be fairly estimated at about $650,000, which, in round numbers, would impose an assess­ment of about $200,000 upon the property more directly benefited, and a charge of about $450,000 upon the City.

A map of the proposed park, prepared under the direction of the Committee by the Engineer of the Finance Department, is also submitted, showing the subdivisions of the land into lots, with specific designations of the buildings, references to a description of the kind and character of each building and its assessed valuation.

The following is a summary statement of the buildings within the area of the proposed park :

BOARD OF STREET OPENING AND IMPROVE­MENT.

The Board of Street Opening and Improvement met at the Mayor’s Office, on Tuesday, March 20, 1888, at I o’clock p. M., pursuant to the following notice :

Office of th e Board of Str eet Opening and I mprovement, [ Mayo r ’s Offic e , New Y o rk , March 17, 1888. )

Sir —You are respectfully requested to attend a meeting of the Board of Street Opening and Improvement, to be held at the office of the Mayor, on Tuesday, March 20, 1888, at I o’clock P. M., to lake into consideration the matter of the park at Mulberry street.

Yours, respectfully,WM. V. I. M ER C ER , Secretary.

Present—Abram S. Hewitt, Mayor : Theodore \V. Myers, Comptroller ; John Newton, Commis­sioner of Public Works ; George H . Forster, President of the Board of Aldermen.

The matter of Mulberry Street Park being in order, the Comptroller submitted the report of the Committee, which was read and ordered to be printed in full in the minutes.

New Y o rk , March 17, 1888.To the B oard o f Street Opening and Improvement:

The Committee appointed at the meeting of the Board, held February 17th last, to examine and report upon the subject of opening a park between Baxter, Bayard, Mulberry and Park streets, in the Sixth Ward, respectfully submits the following

R E P O R T :The opening of this park has been very carefully considered by the Committee, as instructed

by the Board, with special reference to the question, “ Whether any, and if any, what proportion of the expense to be incurred in acquiring title to the land required for the contemplated park shall be assessed upon the property and estates deemed to be benefited by the acquisition and construction of such park, and in case it is recommended that any part of such expense shall be so assessed, to report the area within which such part of such expense shall be so assessed, or whether the whole expense should be borne by the city.”

The proposed park embraces an area of 2.739 acres, or nearly forty-eight city lots, in a locality occupied by a crowded population, only a short distance from the great centre of activity and enter-

grise in the lower part of the city, near the City Hall and the terminus of the New V'ork and rooklyn Bridge and the east side elevated road. The dispersion of a crowded population from

this central locality, and the removal of many old and dilapidated tenements which now occupy the ground and obstruct the improvement of the locality, will unquestionably prove a great advantage to the city at large from a sanitary and business point of view, while the section of the city in the vicinity will also receive a direct and immediate benefit from the improvement.

For these reasons the Committee is of the opinion that the property more directly benefited should be assessed specifically upon a graduated scale, for a considerable area, for a part of the expense of acquisition of title and construction of the park, while the city at large should also be charged with a part of the expense.

C it y of New Y o rk—F in an ce Depa rt m en t , 1 Co m ptro ller ’ s Of f ic e , >

March 15, 1888. )Hon. T heodore W. My e r s , Comptroller :

S ir —The property which it is proposed to take for a park, lying between Baxter street oh the west, Mulberry street on the east, Bayard street on the north, and Park street on the south, is assessed on the tax books at $389,250.

This amount is generally considered to be sixty per cent, of the full value.The full value may therefore be assumed to be $648,750.As this park is expected to benefit the city at large much more than the immediate property-

owners, by improving a locality which is densely crowded by a very inferior class of people, it seems to me that the City should bear the greater part of the assessment for the land.

I would propose—To be paid by the City, seventy per cent., o r ....................................................................... $454,125 00To be paid by property-owners, thirty per cent., or ............... ............................................. 194,625 00

I would suggest as the smallest limit of assessment on property-owners the following lines, viz. :On the north, a line drawn north of and parallel to the northerly line of Canal street, and one

hundred feet distant therefrom.On the east, a line parallel to the easterly line o( the Bowery, Chatham Square and Park Row,

a id4one hundred feet distant easterly therefrom.On the south, a line parallel to and one hundred feet distant southerly from the south side ot

Pearl street.On the west, a line one hundred feet west of the westerly side of Elm street and parallel

thereto.These lines to be respectively limited by their intersections, as shown on the diagram herewith.I have prepared, and enclose herewith, a statement showing generally how the assessments

may be laid on the different parts of the region above defined ; the rate being given per foot front, on lots assumed to be one hundred feet deep.

If the area of assessment be considered too small the lines might be moved, say one hundred feet towards Broadway on the west, to the south side of Grand street on the north, to the north side of Duane street and New Chambers street to the New Bowery on the south, and to the New Bowery on the east.

This would give about thirteen thousand feet front more for small assessments.Respectfully,

EU G. E. M cLEAN, Engineer.

NO TICE TO CROTON W A TER CONSUM ERS.

N u m e r o u s a p p l i c a t i o n s h a v e b e e nmade to this Department by citizens claiming

reductions or rebates on bills for water supplied through meters, on the alleged ground of leakage caused by de­fective plumbing and worn-out service pipes, or by willful

waste o f water by tenants allowing the faucets to be turned on in full force in water-closets, sinks, etc., with­out the knowledge or consent of the owners of the prem-

The main object of the use o f water-meters is to enable this Department to detect and check the useless and un­warrantable waste of an element so valuable and essential to the health and comfort of all the citizens, and this ob­ject can only be accomplished by enforcing payment for the water wasted.

Under the law all charges for water supplied through meters are a lien against the respective premises, and the law therefore holds the owner o f the premises re­sponsible for the amount of water used or wasted.

Notice is therefore given to all householders that, in all further applications for reduction of water rents, no allowance will be made on account of waste of water occurring through leaks, from defective service pipes or plumbing, or wasteful use o f water by tenants or occu­pants of buildings, though such leakage or waste may have occurred without the knowledge or consent of the owners of the buildings.

House-owners are further notified that whenever their Dremises become vacant, and are likely to remain vacant, they must notify this Department in writing, and that unless this requirement is complied with no deductions in extra water rents will he allowed for any portion of one year,
