12 TH NEW YORK -V TIMES, THURSDAY. AUGUST 8, 1001. MORE DISCLOSURES IH GARBAGE GONTRACT CASE Mr. Nagle Responsible for Delay in Advertising for Bids. HE OFFERS EXPLANATIONS Officers and Directors of the Utilization Company Decision Reserved en Application to Continue Injunction, Responsiblllty for the lone delay In ad vertlelng for blda for th disposal of garbage for Manhattan and the Bran yeeter- A WAMaala A P.M MfilaatAtta ICsiBria.

Tl g.Tt.7a asafaaw was learned that th Commissioner sent out tha flv-year contract for garbage dla poaal for examination and approval on April 20, and tt we returned to the 6treet Cleaning Department approved on May 17. When asked yesterday for an explanation of tha delay, Commlasloner Nasi aald: Tha contract had to so from her to tha Board of Estimate to get lta approval. That took several days, and then the contract had to go to tha ptintera. All those thlryts take time. My letter to tha Board of Estimate, however, which I sent on July 80, axplalna better than anything I could aay what caused tha delay.

It haa never been printed." Commissioner Nagle allowed the reporter to have a copy of tha letter. It Beta forth that blda were duly opened on that day, July 30. and those received for tha Borough of Manhattan were aa follows: James J. Barrett, 584 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, per annum; Ma (ill A 12S East Fourteenth Street. 1140,000 per annum.

For the Borough of tha Bronx but "one bid waa presented, that of Magill $30,000 per annum. WHT BIDS WERE REJECTED. A copy of a letter of Mr. Barrett waa Inclosed, showing that ha proposed to carry tha material to places In and around Canarsle and use it for filling In low lands tn that locality. The Commlaaloner states that ha rejected Mr.

Barrett's bid because tha means he proposed to employ were In direct violation of Section 1.213 of the Greater New York charter. Ha adda that he rejected Magill bids not only be. cause they submitted no description of tha methods to be-pursued but also because there were no sureties accompanying their bids. Touching upon his recommendation for the reconsideration of the New York Sanitary Utilisation Company's bid of $232,1100 per year for the Borough of Manhattan for live years, he aaya that criticism haa been made on hta request for the approval of that contract to the effect that sufficient lta advertisement for blddera to construct a plant and enable them to carry on tha work, and adda: In answer to thia I beg to say that tha department cava all tha lima It waa noui. Ma to five, Tha present contract with the New York Sanitary Utilisation Company waa i.

axpira AU(, ivi. in JW tne legislature passed an act preventing tha rarrylna on of this or any similar work In the Borough of Brooklyn, which. In my opinion, and In that of my predecessors, Is the most convenient placa tn which such work can be satisfactorily carried on. Tha constitutionality of this act was tested In tha Bupreme Court, and not until May 1 wsa the final derision of tha Appellate Division given, declaring tha act unconstitutional. "An advertisement for bids before the declaration of the unconstitutionality of the above-mentioned act by the court would necessarily have put tha city at the mercy of blddera with impractical or enormously expensive methods, none of which, it is believed, could have properly carried ou the.

work: 8uch proposals could only have been for the method of cremation, which Investigation has convinced ma is entirely un suited to the conditions of a city Uke New York." The delay in advertising after May 10 the Commissioner adds, was entirely due to the fact of securing the approval of the different authorities whose approval was necessary, and it was In no way tha fault of thla department." THE UTILIZATION COMPANY. Tha personnel of tha New York Sanitary Utilisation Company waa learned yesterday, and It waa discovered that Francis WelJman Is one of tha Directors, and that among tha stockholders la ex-District Attorney De Lancey Nicoll. Tha company waa Incorporated under the laws of New Jersey, and tha report of tha company filed at Trenton, April 11. inoi, glvea tha authorized capital aa all of which is Issued.

yea, surely. The company waa organised In my office five years' ago. I represented acme English capitalists, and Wellman represented the Pblladel-pblana." Hew much stock have youf "Oh, I don't know. Only a few shares. I took It for my fees.

I would Ilka tn sea the city buy It, They are welcome to the whola thing If they want It All thla talk about a lot of money being made Is nonsense." Commlaaloner espresaed himself aa betna; opposed to the city's purchase of tha Argument waa heard yesterday by Justice Gildersleeve in tha Bupreme Court on tha application of James F.

John W. Bralnaby, counsel for Madden, appeared in support of the motion to continue the Injunction.

Mr. Bralnsby said that when the bids were opened on June 27. that of tha Bani. tary Utilization Company was lowest, but as all the bids were extremely high, they were rejected and a new contract advertised for. BLAME FOR MR.

NAGLE. The Street Cleaning Commlasloner was to blame," aald Mr. Bralnsby, "for ha dil- ned ana cameo along after objecting to tha contract with tha Sanitary Utilisation Com-pany until no other contractor -could erect a suitable plant It should not be tolerated "it contract i or live years at should be granted, whereas only 100,000 a year had been, previously paid."

It cost us 7U0.W)u to efect the plant, and any other bidder would have to get over that sum for one year to carry it out The Legislature, recognising the necessity for having the garbage removed with due regard to the health of the Inhabitants, did not insist vn the acceptance of the toweet bid." Mr. Nicoll Mid the city had tha right to buy the plant, and the Utilisation Company would not demand any profits for tha loss Of lb business. Justice Gildersleeve re-served his decision. Acting Mayor Ouggenhelmer and Controller Coler will probably select James vies, the engineer, as tha expert for tha lty, to aniralae the value of the era rbaee ptajit or, llarren Island, and estimate the r-oet ut oners ting It. Th Utilisation company will also appoint aa expert and it tha two cannot agree, third will be chosen.

LABOR'S COMPLAINTS TAKK1 I'P. Dtstrlet Attorney Deltas mm Eiamlss-tloa af air. Ttaarle'e Department. Assistant District 'Attorney Bchurtnan yesterday began an Investigation of tha complaints of the Central' Federated Union against the award of certain contracts for Barbara disposal, made by Street Cleaning Commissioner Nagle. District Attorney Phllbln said that investigation might lead to a close inspection of many dealings of Street Cleaning Commissioner Nasrle with contractor and possibly an Investigation of tha entire department CITrS FINEST PARKWAY.

First Section of Plan for. Riverside Drive Extension Completed Work to Begin Soon. After several, years of preparations, during which time there have coma up many compllcationa and protests from property holders along the upper west aide, the finally adopted plans for Section 1 of the Riverside Drive extension are now completed. Andrew E. Foye, Chief Engineer of tha Department of Highways, haa the plana In his office, and ha aaya that tha parkway will not only be the finest one aver built In thla city, but that It will rank among tha moat beautiful of similar improvements in tha world.

It wltl run from tha north end of the Manhattan Valley Viaduct, at One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street all the way to tha Boulevard Lafayette, entering the latter- beyond Audubon Park. This extension will be built In two sections, tha first running from One Hundred and Thirty-fifth to One Hundred and Fifty-third Street, and tha second from the latter atreet to the Boulevard Lafayette. Aa yet the plana for Section it are not finished. Those of Section 1 will be presented to tha Board of Estimate and Apportionment before tha middle of September, possibly earlier. The cost of the section la broadly estimated at 1.700, Oou.

The general lay of tha land throughout tha extension Is similar to that of Riverside Drive, tha natural inclination from the river bank to the helghta being a ateep one, On the easterly edge of tha new park, at the high part of the slope on which it is built, will be an asphalt walkway. Next to this, toward the river, cornea a strip of trees and grass and shrubs, and then, beyond that elxty-foot-wide macadam driveway. Mora grass bounds the west aide of the drive, and here, too, will be folia aa of varioua aorta. A bridle path runa along the river aide of thla second green strip, and from the path to tha railroad tracka Along the water'a edge are series after series of eloping grass plots, walks, terraces, filch ts of stone stens. flower cir cles, and plaxaa.

Along the drive, path. and walks will be rustic seats One Hundred and Thirty-fifth 8treet, the southern boundary of the extension, is to traded and leveled aa far eaat aa Broadway, thus giving a connection between the latter, tha extension, and tha viaduct Throughout the length of the extension there are but two streets that go all the way to the river One Hundred and Thirty-eighth and One Hundred and Forty-fifth. These will be bridged over in such a way that there will hardly appear to be a break In tha parkway. The rest of the streets Intervening; between One Hundred and Thirty-fifth and the Boulevard Lafayette are eventually to be so graded that they will hare en trances. Into the macadam drive of the park.

CONEY ISLAND IMPROVED. Controller Color and Other City. OftV elala Visited It and Pound It Cleaner Talksd of a Psrk. Controller Coler, Acting Mayor Randolph Guggenbelmer, Park Commissioner Brower, Deputy Commissioner of Street Cleaning P. H.

Qulnn. and a representative of tha Department of Health paid Coney Island a visit yesterday and Inspected the sanitary conditions of tha ramshackle buildings of tha Bowery section. Tha improvements since Controller Coler first called attention to the dirt waa marked, and greatly pleased tha officials of the party. They were escorted about by Mr. Qulnn.

who pointed out the work hia department had accomplished in the last ten days. The stagnant water that formerly laid In tha guttera is now absent and the air la much sweeter In consequence. Since Controller Coler first took an Interest in the condition of tha Island, tha Sewer Department has added a force of men to tha department who pump tha waters from the gutter after each rainfall. Mr, Coler announced yesterday that tha next meeting of the Board of Public Improvement would decide on a relief measure, and that an appropriation likely would be made for the purpose of laying a sewsr to carry off tha surface water. After a tour of the West End tha party visited the city park lands.

Commissioner Brower pointed out tha Improvements needed, and advocated the establishment of a monster bathing pavilion for the accommodation of those who could not afford to pay tha regular fee. Mr. Ouggenhelmer aald that tha city officials should do something at once, and not wait until a large appropriation could be obtained. He favored adding more lights and benches and the enforcement of cleanliness. Commissioner Brewer's plan means the spending of $10,000,000, while Mr.

Coler and Mr. Ouggenhelmer favor making a breathing spot at little cost at once and gradually adding to It until the desired park has been effected. The city, Mr. Coler said, had a claim against one of the Iron piers, and that in hi opinion it ahould be condemned and made a recreation pier, LONG ISLAND CITY CANAL Old Scheme to Join Newtown Creek and Flushing Bay Again Up Mr. Ouggenhelmer Opposed to Acting Mayor Ouggenhelmer yesterday said that nothing will be dona now toward constructing a waterway from Newtown Creek to Flushing Bay.

This schema was proposed several years ago aa a sanitary measure, but It waa opposed by tha oystsr Interests and taxpayers because of tha great expense. The most conservative estimates place the cost 'of tha proposed canal at 1.1,000,000. The revival of the scheme at this time la credited to Maurice F. Holahan, President of the Board of Public Improvements. President Holahan yesterday, when asked as to this, said: "The Improvement is a very necessary one.

Newtown Creek is very foul at row tide, and the people of Long Island City suffer greatly at tlmea from it The idea is to build a canal connecting with Flushing Bay, so that tha tide running through will clean the creek out The waterway would also serve aa a aewer for tha land along the route. I think the construction of the canal Is of sufficient Importance to be carried out at this time. We put the building of sewers first among public Improvements. Thia is a aewer, and tha health of the public Is to be considered." I know there Isn't any 15,000,000 of city money to expend for a canal," aald Mr. Guggenhelmer, when the matter waa called to nla attention.

I guess that plan can be postponed for a few years without much harm." The plans for tha proposed canal which have been accepted by the Board of Public Improvements contemplate a three-mile canal, and many small parks. The canal is to be feet wide and from 12 to 20 feet deep, with wharves IM feet wide on each SW. Mr. Holahan admlta that tha improvement will greatly Increase land values by the drainage and filling In of marsh lands. Sample Street Signs In Place, Commissioner Kearny of tha Department of Publlo Buildings.

In his communication Mr. Kearny aaya he has placed framee on Broadway electric light lam pa at Barclay Street and Third Street with the names thereon so arranged that they can be read by night or day. Tha Acting Mayor la requested to examine them. Mr.

Th coincidence of thla fact with the postponement of the sentence' until Monday waa taken to be highly significant Th third theory, and th on which was regarded aa correct la 'to th effect that PhUbin. had heard that Btsserfs coun-sol had been promised by a certain Supreme Court JuaUc a certificate of reasonable doubt which would act. aa a etay of sentence pending Abraham Levy denied thla rumor emphatically. Tha District Attorney, It waa said, wished tha motion for the order to show cause, which acta aa a temporary stay, and the argument on the granting of the certificate to be heard according to the rules of the Appellate Division. These rules provide that the argument on such motions be made in Part I.

of the Supreme Court and th preliminary application in Part II. It waa stated in th Criminal Courta Building oa Tueaday that Bissert's lawyers would not in all probability follow th asuel course, but would apply to some Justice other than one of those sitting in Parts I. and II. thla week. When aeen that night Blaeert'a counsel, stated that they had not decided before what Justlc they would make the motion.

Blssert'a friend met th third rumor yesterday with tha counter-statement that th District Attorney, for political reasons, did not wish the application for a temporary stsjr made before Justice Gorman, who la now sitting in Part nor argued before Justice Ulldersleeve. aa both of those Justice were elected on Tammany ticket. Mr. Phllbln'a adherents replied to thla with tha assertion that Justice Ulldersleeve had just been assigned by the Appellate Division, with Mr. Phllbln'a approval, to hold tha extraordinary term of tha Criminal Branch, which opens on Monday.

Justices MacLean and Lawrence will alt in Parts I. and Special Term, next week. Another story waa that told to one of Btsaert'a counsel, to the effect that, previous to the arraignment of Blssert the District Attorney, waa In conference with Recorder Goff for torn time, urging that the aentence imposed upon Blssert be aa heavy as possible. The this informant said, waa inclined to be somewhat lenient with the convicted wardman. holding to the opinion that Blssert waa merely a minor part of th machinery ot corruption, and a tool In the hands of those In authority.

Blssert was brought Into the courtroom to hear sentence pronounced about 11 o'clock. The room waa crowded to tha doors with policemen. politicians, and representatives of east aide proprietors ot various kinds of resorts. Blssert smiled and nodded at many acquaintances tn th crowd, Ueorg Blssert to th bar," called Clark Brophy Blssert faced tha Recorder. Deputy Aa-alstsnt District Attorney Han ford then aald! "Your Honor, am Instructed by th District Attorney to request an adjournment of the sentence until Monday.

Th. District Attorney is In possession of Information bearing on the case which deem you should know before passing sentence." Messrs. Tvy, Unger. and Vorhaus. representing Blssert looked eurprised and startled.

Mr. Levy sprang to his feet The defendant demands a aentence, aald ha "The statute ia mandatory and provides that sentence must be pronounced upon the date aet unless the defendant requests a deferment 'An adjournment will serve no public good and will interfere with the plana of counsel." -The Recorder examined tha statutes for a moment and said; Sentence la deferred until Monday," Th Code of Criminal Procedure provides that the Court may lnoulre Into circumstances upon the suggestion of either prose-cutlon or defendant after conviction, which might tend to aggravate or mitigate the punishment of the defendant All that could be advanced aa a possible res son why the District Attorney should ask for mitigation waa th defendant'a confession or a plea of guilty. This was declared by Abraham Levy to be absurd and impossible I asked Blasart." aald he, if any on had approached htm with any overture to plead or confess ssld he. 'I am a policeman's son and. a policeman.

I have nothing to confess. 1 am Innocent of thla charge. I will take my medicine If I have to. I look to you tn tnat So that dlapoees of that rumor." The District Attorney, It la expected, will oppose th granting of a motion for a certificate of reasonable doubt holding that the moral effect of the punishment on the community would be greatly lessened If the convict were released on ball pending appeal, and not. have his caae disposed of or enter on his aentence until much later.

Blesert's lawyera will allege error In the trial which they think will insur th granting of their motion. The Caa Agalnat Capt. Diamond.

Holt, an attendant at th publlo baths, was reinstated by the Supreme Court, after hla summary removal by the Commissioner of Public Buildings, Lighting, and Supplies. has now been partially successful in. hla suit against th city to recover compensation at the rate of S3 per day from June 11, 1838, th date of bis removal, to July 22, 1899, when waa reinstated. Justice Clarke, who glvea th decision, finds that Holt 1 my entitled to pay up to Sept. ait, 1808, because on.

that data hla services might properly have been diepensed with, his employment having been previously held to be only temporary in ita nature. A defense by the city that another person had been employed inn he place of the plaintiff waa found by a Jury not to be so. Two other defenses were set up by th city. On was mat sioit, naving periormea no nrvlces. and being a mure per diem employe, waa entitled to no pay.

The other defense, that the bathing aeason closed on Oct. 1, and plaintiff's employment being held to be only temporary in its nature, he was only entitled to compensation up to Sept. 30, 18HS. la upheld. As to the defense that because Holt waa employed by the day was entitled to no pay, Justice Clarke aaya: "Th statute hav given permanency to positions in the public service, whether they be called officers or employes, and if in violation of the statute the Individual ia removed and subsequently reinstated by the courts, he may recover hla salary or compensation when no other person haa filled the position and been paid for tha performance of the duties." lir tbs "Wjtoifo Corar.

Th complaint In an. action brought by Chaj-lea O. Relchert'a three -children by hi first wlf agalnat Elisabeth Relchert. bis widow; their stepsister, Thadeus XI. Relchert, and thre saving bank In this city, alleged that Mr.

Relchert and her daughter had drawn out of th banks, after Mr. Relchert' death, som by filling up drafts signed In blank by th decedent befor hi death. It was also alleged that th da fendanta recorded an assignment of a mortgage for tr.uoo, although tbey knew th Instrument had never bean delivered by Mr, UHrhert. It appeared that Mrs. Itelchert had been appointed one of th administrator of Mr.

Iilcbirt'a estate by the Surrogat of BuffolJc County. The plaintiff charged a conspiracy on th part of tha widow and her daughter to de fraud them of their share of th estate, and demanded that it be adjudged that th mcneya on deposit totbe credit of the decedent at the time ot hla death were a part of hla estate. A demurrer to th complaint ha been sustained by Justice Clarke of the Supreme Court, Special Term, onhe ground that the plaintiffs should first exhaust their remedies In the Surrogate's Court befor resorting to the Supreme Court. Justice Clarke aaya: "The legal title to the personal estate of decedent la in tha administrators duly appointed, and it doe not appear what standing th plaintiffs, aa three of th next ot kin, have at the present time to maintain thia action. Th court which appointed th administrators has entire Jurisdiction In the premises.

If th administratrix haa been guilty of th act charged it would seem aa If th proper remedy would be an application to that court for th revocation of her letter upon th ground that she waa an unfit and Improper person. It is not alleged In tho complaint that there ha been any demand made upon th administrators to reduce the property enumerated to possession, and a refusal by them to act. To be sure, it la alleged that they ar hostile to th plaintiffs herein and will take no steps for the purpose of setting aside th acta complained of, but that ia a mar conclusion. If th admin Istrator do not reduce to possession property belonging to th estate and duly administer it they may be surcharged with th amount thereof In their aomunta in tsbort. a full, adequate, and complete rem edy appears to os vested in the Burrogate'a Court now having Jurisdiction of the estate.

That being so. the Supreme Court will not take Jurisdiction. Therefore, it not appearing that the appropriate remediea hav been pursued In the Surrogate's Court, and that there Is need at the present time to apply to thla court to supplement insufficient authority In th Surrogate's Court to meet th condition of th particular case, or that for any other reason full and complete Justice cannot be dona in that court, the-demurrer ia sustained."
