It Is the belief of this Company that it is entirely possible to place upon Niagara Street an overhead construction whioh will be absolutely unobjectionable. Much careful thought and inventive ability has been devoted to this branch of the subject of late, with the result or developing methods and details which are more an ornament than a disfigurement to the streets. It must not be forgotten that practically no curves will be met with on Niagara Street. The poles will be of iron throughout ftnd the wires of such height as to be scarcely noticeable.

We fully understand the importance to your Honorable Body of making, in the interest or the citizens, a careful and exhaustive investigation of this matter before taking final action. We believe that in no way can this investigation be so profitably made as by personal inspection of some electric system, which embodies the latest and most approved devices for the protection of public interests. We therefore take pleasure in inviting you to accompany tne officers of this Company, together with representative citizens of Buffalo, to the City oi Cleveland in order to determine for yours*i\es the question whether or not the systems there m operation may be profitably adopted in the street, which is the subject of our petition, m e believe that you will find in Cleveland, as in other cities where the overhead electric system is in successful operation, a car service distinguished for speed, elegance, and perfection ot running, together wSth more complete control of the cars than can be accomplished by any other method securing equal speed, and an overhead structure, simple, strong, and elegant, although less perfect in many details than that which will be installed in this city should the desired permission be granted to this Company.

BUFFALO, Feb. 24,1830. • I submit herewith for your consideration a proposition for the inspection and insurance of the boilers in the school bniMings of the City of Buffalo as may be desired/viz.: Inspection of each boiler to be made each and every three months. Insurance of $5,000 on each .school building, covering on real and pergonal property, life or injury to person, at a total cost to the City of twenty-five ($25) dollars on each school building so insured, for the term of three years.

Respectfully yours, N. H. MESSENGER.

Manager. Referred to Committee on Schools. By unanimous consent the following Special

Committee report was here presented: On th© 28th day of October, 183H, Alphonso J.

Meyer, then Treasurer of the City, sent a communication to the Common Council asking an investigation of the conduct of his office during his term commencing January 2, 1888.

Your Committee appointed to make such investigation submit the following report: To enable your Committee to ascertain the facts necessary for a satisfactory report we engaged the services of Mr. H. F. Bagnall, an . expert accountant.

Mr. Bagnall just reported to us that the books of the Treasurer's office were in a very unsatisfactory condition, owing to the fact that an incompetent bookkeeper had been employed by the Treasurer, and he was authorized to open a new set of books for the beginning of the year, which he reports he has done. As your Committee understood the chief object of this appointment was to ascertain whether or not the charge was true that large sums of money were lost to the City through the large accumulations of moneys paid in on local Assessment Rolls, against which warrants were left outstanding drawing 6 per cent., upon which/de-posits the City realized only 2 per cent.

It appears that Mr. Meyer's predecessor turned over to him on the 2d ot January, 1888, the sum of $1,175,282.64, of which amount $aG9,-531.98, was moneys paid in upon local Assessment Rolls, and against which warrants were outstanding drawing 6 per cent, interest.

This amount was augmented by payments on local rolls, until on the 10th of September ot that year it amounted to the enormous sum of $1,3:8,366.87. Upon that day the Treasurer called in $-5,0c0, leaving still in his hands $1,203,306.87, the yearly interest upon which amounted to $;7,<J02, and which drew interest at the rate of $25,867.33. a difference of |hl.734.67 per year. At the close of the year 188$ this amount had increased $1,333,776,74, and on April 1,1888, it had increased to the sum of $1,339,242.92. No call was made known until April 1, B» follows :

April 1,1883 $370,855 93 Mayl . . . . .1 405,130 26 August 1 100.CO0 00 October 1... 639,259 00 December L 851,881 55

Total $',8>l7.i06 74 Notwithstanding this vast sum called in the

amount still left in the treasury December 31, was $3A&&28.

It appears that the Treasurer kept no account showing the payments of interest on local funds, but the books in the Comp- roller's office show that during the past two years interest on warrants was paid as follows: In 1698... . . . . . . . . . In 1889.

Your committee believe that if the law had been obeyed by the late Treasurer this sum would have been saved. Your committee are unable to more than approximate, but it is believed that the exact amount of Interest lost will not vary materially from the above figures.

An instance was cited to the Committee In which it was impossible to pay one warrant of $30,0UQ drawn against the Crenesee Street paving roll, as the warrant was drawn partly against an instalment and partly against another.

To avoid this again occurring, we recommend that in the future when warrants are drawn a roll exceeding $T,000, they be divided so as In no case to exceed one-fifth the amount of the contract, and In no case shall a local warrant be drawn exceeding in amount the sum of $5,000.

In conclusion your Committee report that in their opinion, based upon high legal authority that the claim in the Charter relating to the calling in of those warrants is mandatory, and that it wag gross neglect of duty on the part of the Treasurer in not obeying the requirements of the law In this respect, and we submit the foregoing statement of the proceedings on the part of Mr. Meyer, and recommend to your Honorable Body that the question be referred to the Corporation Counsel whether the Treasurer's bondsmen are not liable for any loss which the City has sustained through his neglect to call in warrants under the section of the Charter referred to.
