PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS. No. 1088.

Communication in Regard to Printing Minutes of Common Council from Febru. ary 10, 1784, to May 9, 1831, and Request for Extension of Time.

New York Public Library, 476 Fifth Avenue, December 21, 1916. To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen:

Gentlemen—On July 7, 1916, the Board of Aldermen adopted a resolution author- izing $15,000 special revenue bonds for the printing of the manuscript minutes of the Common Council of the City from February 10, 1784, to May 9, 1831. The resolution of your Board stipulates that "all obligations contracted for hereunder be incurred on or before December 31, 1916."

The Committee appointed to supervise the editing and publication of these minutes has been making as rapid progress as possible, but the undertaking is so large that it will probably require another year to complete the work. I, therefore, respectfully request your honorable board to extend the time within which the $15,000 may be expended to December 31, 1917. Respectfully submitted,

VICTOR H. PALTSITZ, Chairman, Committee on Publication of the Minutes of the Common Council.

Which was referred to the Committee on Finance. No. 1089.

Bureau of Educational Experiments—Communication Asking That Contract with William E. Wirt Be Renewed.

Bureau of Educational Experiments, to Collect and Distribute Information, Edu- cational Building, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. To the Honorable the President and Members of the Board of Aldermen of The City

of New York: Gentlemen—The members of the Bureau of Educational Experiments, being

aware that your Board will meet in the near future to take action on the matter of retaining the services of Mr. William E. Wirt as specialist in the schools of New York, desire to express as their most earnest conviction that it is a matter of great concern to the people of this City whether the series of experiments for which Mr. Wirt's services have been employed shall be given a fair and sufficient opportunity to demonstrate their value or lack of value;

And since it is evident that, in the estimation of very many persons, no such opportunity can be afforded these experiments without the personal supervision of their originator, Mr. Wirt, and moreover, since public funds in large amounts have already been expended that the experiments originated by him might be initiated in different parts of the City;

We, therefore, the members of the Bureau of Educational Experiments, do hereby petition the esteemed members of your honorable Board that the contract made by the City with Mr. William E. Wirt shall be renewed, and we do protest against any alteration in the terms proposed whereby Mr. Wirt's services may be lost to the City during the period required to complete his demonstration, lest the public be thus deprived of its due; that is to say, of a fair and sufficient opportunity to evaluate the results obtained by these experiments after large public funds have be,-n expended for their initiation. We have the honor, gentlemen, to be very respectfully yours,

THE BUREAU OF 'EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENTS, LUCY SPRAGUE MITCHELL, Chairman.

December 19, 1916. Which was ordered on file.

signs in the Borough of Richmond and on the 9th day of June, 1916, your Honor-able Bward in conjunction therewith adopted a resolution requesting an issue of Special Revenue Bonds in the sum of $2,630.00, the proceeds thereof to be used by the President of the Borough of Richmond for repairing and renewing street signs, all obligations contracted for hereunder to be incurred on or before December 31. 1916.

Immediately upon the adoption of said resolution provision was made for the purchase of said street signs and the assembling thereof, but owing to the delay of the manufacturer in furnishing said street signs has precluded the erection and assembling thereof, and as the season is rapidly drawing to a close and weather conditions preventing practically any work Thereon, I would respectfully request that the unexpended balance, amounting to approximately $1,308.27, be allowed to carry over for the year 1917. Respectfully yours,

CALVIN D. VAN NAME, President of the Borough of Richmond. Which was referred to the Committee on Finance.

York City. Gentlemen—The present storm having prevented for the time being any further

work to any extent on the work now being prosecuted under the Special Revenue Bond Allowance R. P. R. 16-D, I would respectfully request that the approximate unspent balance be allowed to carry over into the year 1917, as it is necessary to com-plete this work.

No. 1093. Preamble and Resolution in Regard to Recommendation of Postmaster General

That Auto Trucks Be Substituted hi Delivery of Mail for Present Methods. By the same—

Whereas, The Postmaster General in his annual report has recommended to Congress that auto trucks be substituted in the delivery of mail in large cities for the present methods of transportation, and

Whereas, The City of New York is equipped with a most efficient and useful tube plant for this purpose; and

Whereas, This great City is now involved in a serious consideration of methods for relieving traffic congestion, which would only be heavily increased by the institu-tion of an auto truck service for mail in lieu of the present tube service, be it

Resolved, That this Board of Aldermen of The City of New York, having in mind the best interests of the City, does hereby recommend to the members of Congress from this City and State that they take such steps as will prevent any compliance with this particular recommendation.

Which was adopted. No. 1094.

Resolution Requesting Postmaster General to Abandon Contemplated Reduction of Underground Mail Tube Service in This City.

By Alderman Curran— Resolved, That the Board of Aldermen requests the Postmaster General of the

United States to abandon his contemplated reduction of the underground mail tube service in this city.

When our people have to burrow like moles, through subways and tunnels, to escape the perils of traffic congestion on the streets, it is no time to exhume inanimate mail matter and joy-ride it about the town in speeding motor trucks, to the still greater peril of those who survive us on the surface of the earth.

Which was adopted. No. 1095.

SPECIAL ORDERS. S. 0. 175 (Int. No. 1050).

Report of the Committee on Finance in Favor of Adopting Resolution Authoriz. ing an Issue of Special Revenue Bonds, $10,000, for Repairs, Etc., to the Fulton Market Building.

The Committee on Finance, to which was referred on December 12, 1916 (Min-utes, page 745), the annexed request of the President of the Borough of Manhattan for special revenue bonds, $10,000, for repairs and alterations to the Fulton Market Building, and asking for an extension of time for use of a former issue, respectfully

REPORTS: That having examined the subject, it believes the proposed allowance should be

City of New York, President of the Borough of Manhattan, Municipal Building, December 7, 1916. Hon. FRANK L. Dowian, President, Board of Aldermen, City Hall, New York:

Dear Sir—Under date of June 6, 1916, a resolution was adopted by your Honor-able Board authorizing an issue of special revenue bonds in the amount of $30,250, the proceeds thereof to be used for repairs and alterations to the Fulton Market Building, all obligations contracted thereunder to be incurred on or before December 31, 1916.

Under date of July 27, 19f6, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment approved and concurred in the said resolution and under date of September 19, 1916. proposals were received and duly opened for the work. All bids were subsequently rejected, as it was found that the lowest aggregate bids for all classes of work to be done were several thousand dollars in excess of the amount available.

In order that the contracts mati be readvertised I respectfully request• that an additional issue of special revenue bonds be authorized in the amount of $10,000, and that the time for incurring obligations thereunder and including the previous author-ization of June 6, 1916, be extended until June 30, 1917.

Board of Standards and Appeals, Municipal Building, New York, November 27, 1916. Honorable WM.. P. KENNEALLY, Chairman, Committee on Buildings, Board of Alder-

men, City Hall: Dear Sir-I have your request of November 25, 1916, for an opinion as to whether

the proposed ordinance amending subdivision 3 of section 91, chapter 5, of the Code of Ordinances is within the jurisdiction of the Board of Aldermen or the Board of Standards and Appeals. This is very properly an amendment to the Code of Ordi-nances and seems to me to be in proper form for adoption by the Board of Alder-men, with the exception, perhaps, that the period at the end of subdivision 3 of sec-tion 91 be replaced by a comma and the new matter start with a small letter.

As to the merits of the proposed amendment, I am not prepared to say anything. While the property included in the description is used for special purposes at the present time, the effect of this amendment is to continue what may later on prove an undesirable use of a piece of property located in the heart of a residential dis-trict. On the other hand, however, it may be noted that the use district maps of the building zone resolution have placed the property included in this proposed amend- ment in an unrestricted district. Respectfully yours,

RUDOLPH P. MILLER, Chairman. Which was laid over.

Report of the Committee on General Welfare in nor of Filing a Communica-tion Relative to "Manner and Places in Which the 'Star Spangled Banner' May be Played, Sung or Rendered."

The Committee on General Welfare, to which was referred on. December 8, 1916 (Minutes, page.723), the annexed communication from Lieutenant John W. W. Cum-ming, U. S. Navy, relative to an ordinance regulating the manner and, places in which the "Star Spangled Banner" may be played, sung or rendered, respectfully

REPORTS: That, having examined the subject and noting the contents contained therein

for future reference, it recommends that the accompanying ordinance be placed on file. Tire City of Baltimore; Md.-Ordinanre 167-July 7, • 1916. AN ORDINANCE regulating the manner and places in which the "Star-Spangled

Banner" may be played, sung or rendered: Whereas) "The Star-Spangled Banner" is universally recognized as the national

anthem of our country and has been adopted as such by both- the War and Navy Departments of our governments and by reason of the fact that the City of Balti-more was the place of its composition, it is fitting that Baltimore should take suit- able action to maintain its character as the national anthem; and

Whereas, The indiscriminate rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," or parts thereof, in connection with other compositions, tends to lower the esteem and rev-erence in which the national anthem should be held by the people of our nation, and to prevent its desecration; now, therefore,

Section 1. Be it ordained by the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, That "The Star-Spangled Banner" shall not be played, sung or rendered in the City of Baltimore in any public place, or at any public entertainment, or in any theatre or moving-picture hall, restaurant or cafe, except as an entire and separate composition or number, without embellishments of national or other melodies, nor shall "The Star-Spangled Banner," or any part thereof or selection from the same, be played as a part or selection of a medley of any kind, nor shall "The. Star-Spangled Banner" be played at or in any of the places mentioned for dancing or as an exit march; and whenever and wherever practicable, the musicians, performers or other persons shall stand while playing, singing or rendering "The Star-Spangled. Banner." Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof before a court of competent jurisdiction of this State, shall be fined not mare than one hundred dollars.

Sec. 2. And be it further ordained, No owner, proprietor or manager of any theatre, moving-picture hall, restaurant, cafe or other place in the City of Baltimore where the public gathers, shall permit or allow anyone playing, singing or performing therein to play, sing or render "The Star-Spangled Banner" in violation of the pro-visions of the aforegoing section, and, in the event of any such permission or allow-ance, such owner, proprietor or manager, upon conviction thereof as aforesaid, shall be subject to the penalties imposed by the aforegoing section.

Sec. 3. And be it further ordained, The City Librarian is, hereby authorized and directed to have copies of this ordinance printed and distributed to all theatres, moving-picture halls, restaurants and cafes and to the offices of all musical unions or branches thereof in the City of Baltimore at least ten days before this ordinance shall go into effect; .the expenses thereof to be paid out of• the funds of the City Librarian not otherwise appropriated.

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR.

No. 2001. His Honor the Mayor-Message Relative to Ordinance Relating to Motorcycle

Repair Shops and Storage Places. City of New York, Office of the Mayor, December 26, 1916.

To the Honorable the Board of Aldermen: Sirs-My attention has been directed to the fact that at the. last meeting of

your Honorable Board your Committee on Buildings reported in favor of filing, which is equivalent to defeating, the ordinance in relation to motorcycle repair shops and storage places, which in its original form was introduced pursuant to my message to your Honorable Board of January 25, 1916.

You will recall that my message was based upon a report from the Commissioner of Accounts, a copy of which report was likewise transmitted to your Honorable Board, in which it was pointed oat that the likelihood of fire occurring in the average motorcycle storage and repair shop is even greater than that involved in the average garage, and that while the latter hazard is subject to reasonable regulation, there is now no such regulation with referenCe to motorcycle shops. The Com-missioner of Accounts found that as a result of the absence of such regulation. from 2 to 40 machines were found in each place inspected, with gasoline in the stor-age tanks of the machines in nearly all cases; that of the places inspected, 35 were located in tenements, which housed from 9 to 290 persons; that three of those tene-ments were of frame construction, and that one shop was located in a two story building, part of which was used as a dance hall, and that another was found in a six story building, part of which was used for factory purposes employing 80 persons.

Transmitting the report of the Commissioner of Accounts to your Honorable Board, I specifically pointed out that "particularly worthy of your consideration is the situation presented by the location of these motorcycle shops in tenement houses, factories and places of public assembly," directing attention in addition to the fact that "in many of the larger cities of the country motorcycle shops are subjected to the same fire prevention ordinances as garages."

I am convinced that the danger to life and to property which is incident to the continued absence of regulation of motorcycle shops, is a real and serious danger. I do not believe that it is wise or proper to delay the enactment of appropriate regulation until such time as a serious loss of life, due to the absence of such regula-tion, occurs. The intelligent procedure is to enact the ordinance now so as to pre-vent the disaster and not to enact it after the disaster has occurred. In case of disaster, the failure to act seasonably would impose on your Honorable Board a grave responsibility which would be shared only by the Committee of your Honorable Board by reason of their delay in reporting a proper ordinance for enactment.

Over seven months have elapsed since the original ordinance, drafted by the Commissioner of Accounts and the Fire Commissioner, was introduced on May 16, 1916, and referred to your Committee on General Welfare. This committee held a hearing, and thereafter indicated certain proposed provisions which it regarded as too drastic. The proposed ordinance was thereupon redrafted and reintroduced on July 5, 1916, and again referred to the Committee on General Welfare, which again held a public hearing at which no one appeared in opposition. Alderman Eagan, of the Committee, objected to a certain provision of the proposed ordinance, and there-upon the Deputy Commissioner of Accounts and the Chief of the Division of Com-bustibles consented to the elimination of the provisions objected to. Thereupon your Committee on General Welfare reported on September 12, 1916, that it be-lieved the ordinance to be improperly drawn, and said that representatives of the Fire Department and of the Commissioner of Accounts agreed with the Committee. The representatives of the Commissioner of Accounts and of the Fire Department did not agree that the ordinance was improperly drawn, but did agree to a sug-gested amendment.

The Commissioner of Accounts and the Fire ComMissioner again redrafted the proposed ordinance, which was introduced on September 26, 1916, and this time referred to the Committee on Buildings, which, at the last meeting of your Honorable Board reported in favor of filing the proposed ordinance as stated at the beginning of this communication, stating that the provisions of the proposed ordinance were

"too drastic." The Committee of your Honorable Board points to no specific provision which it

regards as too drastic. Every provision designated as onerous or drastic by any citizen interested who appeared before any-committee of your Honorable Board has been eliminated. and finally a provision regarded as objectionable by a member of the Committee on General Welfare, though designated as such by n4 citizen who was

interested or affected, was changed. Accordingly, I am completely at a' loss to understand the grounds upon which your committee's recommendation is based and urge that the proposed ordinance in its present form be enacted or that, in the alternative, the Committee on Buildings be instructed to confer with the Fire Com- missioner and the Commissioner of Accounts for the purpose of reaching an agree-ment upon an ordinance covering this subject whirl the Committee will report favorably for enactment. Respectfully,

JOHN PURROY ITCHEL, Mayor. Which, on motion of Alderman Kenney, was referred to the Committee on

Buildings. COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY, COUNTY AND BOROUGH OFFICERS.

The President laid before the Board the following communication from the Commissioner of Parks, Manhattan and Richmond:

No. 2002. Commissioner of Parks, Manhattan and Richmond-Request for Authority to

Purchase a Motor Truck Without Public Letting. City of New York, Department of Parks, Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond,

Municipal Building, Tenth Floor, December 22, 1916. Hon. FRANK L. DowuNo, President, Board of Aldermen, City Hall, New York City:

Sir-Request is hereby made, pursuant to the provisions of section 419 of the Greater New York Charter, that this department be authorized to enter into contract in the open market without public letting for the purchase of one 3 1-2 ton motor truck at a cost not to exceed $3,500.

Provision is made in the Budget of 1917 for this purchase. Your early action is requested because of lack of provision in the Budget of 1917 for forage for horses, to be replaced by the use of this truck. It will be necessary, therefore, to purchase the truck and put it into service as soon as possible after January 1.

Respectfully yours, CABOT WARD, Commissioner of Parks. Which was referred to the Committee on Public Letting. The President laid before the Board the following communications from the

Board of Estimate and Apportionment:

No. 2003. Board of Estimate and Apportionment-Resolution to Fix the Compensation of

Certain Janitors in the 'Department of Education. City of New York, Board of Estimate and Apportionment, Office of the Sec-

retary, Municipal Building, December 23, 1916. To the Honorable.the Board of Aldermen

Gentlemen-I transmit herewith certified copies of two resolutions adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment December 22,,1916, recommending the estab-ment of grades of positions as follows:

Rate of Department and Position Compensation. Incumbents.

Cal. No. 49. Dept. of Education-Janitors of vari-ous public schools at rates set forth therein.

Cal. No. 55A. City Departments-Pattern Maker. $5.00 per diem. Unlimited.

I also transmit copies of reports of the Committee on Salaries and Grades relative thereto. Respectfully, JOSEPH HAAG, Secretary.

Resolved, That the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, pursuant to the pro-visions of section 56 of the Greater New York Charter, hereby recommends to the Board of Aldermen the establishment of rates of compensation for Janitors in the Department of Education, in addition to those heretofore established, in accordance with the following list : Janitor, Public School 50, Manhattan, per month Janitor, Public School 74, Manhattan, per annum, less $221 Janitor, Public School 48 (old), The Bronx, per month Janitor, Public School 81, Queens, per annum Janitor, Public School 81, Queens, per annum Janitor, Public School 4, Richmond, per annum Janitor, Public School 13, Richmond, per annum Janitor, Morris High School, per month

A true copy of resolution adopted by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment December 22, 1916. JOSEPH HAAG, Secretary,

Committee on Education, Board of Estimate and Apportionment, December 4, 1916. To the Board of Estimate and Apportionment:

Gentlemen-On November 8 and 22, 1916, the Board of Education requested establishment pursuant to the provisions of section 56 of the Greater New York Charter, of rates- of compensation for the janitors of Public Schools 50, 74, Man-hattan; 48 (old), The Bronx ; 81, Queens; 4, 13, Richmond; and also the Morris High School. In connection therewith we report as follows:

For P. S. 50, Manhattan, an increase of $30 per month from November 1, 1916, to May 1, 1917, in the existing rate of janitorial compensation is requested, due to the fact that the janitor of this school, being away on military duty, it is neces-sary to engage the service of a female cleaner to do part of the work formerly done by the Janitor himself.

For P. S. 74, Manhattan, a temporary rate is requested, being the regular rate of $2,508 per annum, less rent allowance of $221.

For P. S. 48 (old), the Bronx, a rate of $20 per month is proposed. This school is a four-room portable building, three rooms of which are being used temporarily in connection with new P. S. 48, the Bronx.

For P. S. 4 and P. S. 13, Richmond, a reduction in the present rates of janitorial compensation is proposed on account of unoccupied classrooms, as follows :

Present Proposed Compensation. Compensation.

Public School 4, Richmond $1,308 00 $1,056 00 Public School 13, Richmond 3,672 00 3,276 00

With regard to P. S. 81, Queens, and Morris High School the Board of Educa-tion proposes gradually to place them under the so-called indirect system of janitorial employment by the transfer of the civil service helpers in these schools to other school buildings as vacancies occur. Accordingly changes in compensation of the janitors of said schools are proposed as follows : For Morris High School the janitor is allowed an additional sum of $80 per month from November 16, 1916, to March 30, 1917, to permit him to engage a fireman in place of a licensed fireman at $912.50 per annum, who was transferred. For P. S. 81, Queens, the janitor's compensation is to be in-creased from $1,500 to $2,790 per annum, taking effect November 13. 1916, and further increased to $2,990, taking effect November 16, 1916, to permit him to engage additional help in place of two male cleaners and one licensed fireman, who were transferred to other schools on November 13, 1916, and one female cleaner, who was transferred on November 16, 1916.

Your committee approves the proposed rates of compensation and recommends the adoption of the attached resolution granting the request. Respectfully,

ALBElf E. HADLOCK. Deputy and Acting Comptroller ; JOHN PURROY MITCHEL, Mayor; LEWIS H. POUNDS, President, Borough of Brooklyn, Com-mittee on Salaries and Grades.

"De La Vergne Machine Company, East 138th street— "We employ eight to ten Pattern Makers and pay them $425 to $4.50 a

day.' "Approximately 250 Pattern Makers are employed in the above 31 shops, of

which about 35 men are paid less than the $5 rate. "Twenty-five other employers of large machine works stated that they did

not employ Pattern Makers. They sublet the work to other shops in which Pattern Makers are employed. The majority mentioned shops in the list submitted by the Pattern Makers' Association as paying $5 a day.

"The cost to the City for the increase of the rate for Pattern Maker from $4.50 to $5 per diem would be $138.50." In view of the foregoing facts, we recommend that the attached resolutions

approving a $5 per diem rate for Pattern Makers, and requesting the head of the City department where these men are employed to provide for the increase be adopted.

of an Automobile Truck PA to 2 tons. This car is to be used by this department for the hauling of materials, etc. Owing to the impossibility of preparing specifications which would admit of open

competition; I would respectfully request that the Honorable Board of Aldermen grant permission to secure this automobile truck without the formality of advertis-ing for' competitive bids. Respectfully,

No. 2008. Commissioner of Parks, The Bronx—Request for Authority to Contract for

Labor and Material to Fill in Swamp Lands in Van Cortlandt Park Without Public Letting.

The City of New York, Department of Parks, Office of Commissioner for the Borough of The Bronx, Zbrowski Mansion, Claremont Park, New York, December 20, 1916. Honorable FRANK L. DOWLING, President, Board of Aldermen, NewTork City:

Dear Sir—I have the honor to request that authority be given me, pursuant to the provisions of section 419 of the Greater New York Charter, to enter into a con-tract without public letting, for furnishing all labor and material for filling in swamplands in the southerly portion of Van Cortlandt Park, at a cost not to exceed the sum of $74,341.

On March 3, 1916, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment authorized $62,500 for this purpose.

- In addition to this sum, there is an unencumbered balance in another corporate stock authorization of $8,647.09, making the total amount available $71,147.09. Out of this amount there has been expended the sum of $405.05 for engineering, and $489 for the construction of a drain in connection with the work, making a total expenditure of $894, reducing the sum to $70,253.04. Out of this sum there is reserved for the construction of a sewer through the lands to be filled in and the

readjustment of the roadway on the north, the sum of $6,838.09, leaving a balance of $63,415.

On October 17, 1916, four bids were received by this department for this work, of which $74,341 was the lowest, and $99,500 was the highest.

On December 8, 1916, the Board of Estimate and Apportionment authorized the sum of $10,926 in addition, making the total amount available for the purpose $74,341.

I believe that on account of the constantly increasing cost of labor and material, the low bid for this work is reasonable, and that it would be to the advantage of the city to enter into a contract, at this time, without public letting. Respectfully,

THOMAS W. WHITTLE, Commissioner of Parks Borough of The Bronx. Which was referred to the Committee on Public Letting. The President laid before the Board the following communication from the Fire

Commissioner: No. 2009.

Fire Commissioner—Request for Special Revenue Bonds, ;92,260.30, for Pur- chase of Hose.

Fire Department, City of New York, December 2201916. Hots. FRANK L. Dowiaim President, Board of Aldermen, City of New York:

Sir—I wish to call you attention to the urgency of early action upon my request of November 15, 1916, for a revenue bond issue of $92,260.30 for new hose for this department This hose is badly needed to carry us through the winter season, and I feel that the Board of Aldermen should rely upon the stateemnts of this department that the hose is needed and not rely upon statements from any other source. We feel that we are in possition to know the needs of the department, and you are aware of the vital necessity of keeping this department supplied with a sufficient quantity of reliable hose so as to be able to meet all emergencies. Fire companies without available hose can not do their work. I am just in receipt to-day of a report from Captain McKenna, of Engine 13, asking for an increased allowance of hose for his company.

The situation is such that we must have the hose contemplated in the request now pending before your Board if we are to supply the companies with all the hose that is necessary. The winter months impose a severe test upon the department and it is necessary that the companies have a sufficient quantity of hose to meet the severe test which they are called upon to face during this period. Very truly yours,

ROBERT ADAMSON, Fire Commissioner. Which was referred to the Committee on Finance.

The President laid before the Board the following communication from the Department of Plant and Structures:

Board of Standards and Appeals, Municipal Building, New York, November 27, 1916. Honorable WM. P. KENNEALLY, Chairman, Committee on Buildings, Board of Alder-

men, City Hall: Dear S;r—I have your request of November 25, 1916, for an opinion as to whether

the proposed ordinance amending subdivision 3 of section 91, chapter 5, of the Code of Ordinances is within the jurisdiction of the Board of Aldermen or the Board of Standards and Appeals. This is very properly an amendment to the Code of Ordi-nances and seems to me to be in proper form for adoption by the Board of Alder-men with the exception, perhaps, that the period at the end of subdivision 3 of sec-tion 91 be replaced by a comma and the new matter start with a small letter.

As to the merits of the proposed amendment, I am not prepared to say anything. While the property included in the description is used for special purposes at the present time, the effect of this amendment is to continue what may later on prove an undesirable use of a piece of property located in the heart of a residential dis-trict. On the other hand, however, it may be noted that the use district maps of the building zone resolution have placed the property included in this proposed amend-ment in an unrestricted district. Respectfully yours,

RUDOLPH P. MILLER, Chairman. Which was again laid over.

Its adoption was also opposed by veterinary surgeons representing truck owners, New York Team Owners' Association. The Committee is of the opinion for humane reasons that this matter be placed on file. AN ORDINANCE to amend section 23 of article 3 of chapter 22 of the Code of

Ordinances relating to salting tracks. Be it Ordained by the Board of Aldermen of The City of New York as follows: Section 1. Section 23 of article 3 of chapter 22 of the Code of Ordinances is
