got one contract and Mr. Jonson the other. In
the previous month a contract for $2?3."?0 for iron
pipe was awarded on one bid, that of Theodore
Bturgee, of llrooklyn. There may be no truth in it,
but it is reported among barge iron firms
in the city that Mr. Flynn has an interest
in the contracts of Mr. Sturpes; while
this arntleman is said to be indirectly connected
with another firm in Philadelphia, that also fur?
nishes Mr. Thompson with larv,o quantities of irou
pi|>e.
Inquiry arnon*: iron dealers as to why they did
not bid on t boos contracts was met by : he re- ponse
that Maurice B. Flynn had a monopoly of that kind
of business in the Dubhe Works Department, and
that they would merely wanto time in bidding.
There was apparent iv some ground for this asser?
tion, as shown hy the fact that while Mr. F'yun
furnished most of the hydrants, glop cooks and like
supplies on orders, yet in the two public lettings
for these supplies, made in the first year fitter Mr.
'i'hoinjiaon came into office. Mr. Flynn's timi was
gSMOSOBfSal Itoth times, and in the one public
letting in the ec. omi year of Mr. Thomuson's ad?
ministration Mr. Flynn was again nuooaaufaL In
fact he was so successful that in one of the let?
tings, which called for a supply of potent
hydrants on Which Julius Jonson held the
patent, although Mr. Joooon was a Udder lot
the contract yet Mr. Flynn Outbid bim. Mr.
Flynn has hims-If testified that in supplying
the material limier this contract he purchased a
part of it frun Mr. Jonson. In connection with
thia purchase of a patented article it la Interesting
to note that at that time the > nv aharon provided ;
"No patented arti, lo shall be advertised for,
contracted for, or Bsarohnsed, except
under such circumstances that there can
be a fair mid reasonable opportunity for
competition, tho conditions te secure which shall
he pp s(ribed hy the Hoard of Eatimate and Appor?
tionment." No such conuiiiuns had been pre?
scribed for the purchase of Mr. Jonson's patent hy?
drant.
un-. oxdkks ron Laure ano nan aa,
Mr.* F..vim has occasionally as "attorney" col
looted the ?Boney on a contract given te soms
other person not a meinbt-r of his fina. Ile is .is...
eiat.il with the McKinas, who do a large amount
(?f contract business with the Public Works De?
partment. Fndci the name of " (.old's Healer Man?
ufacturing Comp my." the Public Works Depart
gosnt was unpolled with 95,080 worth of stree!
lampe by Mr. Flynn's Brm all <m orders without
any public competition. Mr. Gold, Whose name
Was used as the h'-ad of this manufacturing com?
pany, was paid a salary, some time ago "Gold's
Heater Manufacturing Company " eas. ,1 to supply
thePnhhe Works Deportment with street-lampa,
and they w.t.- purchased on orders from Alexander
Urandoo. Ha has been paid over $10,000
on Ogdon f.tr these lamps. His son,
who is employed ia the Public Works
Departin. nt, is an intimate friend of Mr.
Flynn. Mr. Thompson purchases al! his lamps and
supplies of that kind on orders, and in that way has
paid out a large amount of money without any public
letting. The orders for lamp posts, irons, etc.,
are given principally ta the J. L. Mott Iron Works.
Mr. Mott is a member of the County Democracy.
All nf tho water meters for the Pubbe Works De*
partment are porehaood on onl.T- given to Henry
K. Worthington and the National Meter Company,
lt does not appear whether or not
Mi. Flynn is Interested In the Metei
Company. though Haili is the report.
The work of setting meters, at lucrative prices, is
given by Mr. Thompson to members of the ('.ninty
Democracy, on the a um phau aa thal throng'j a blob
Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Flynn fionriah.

How close Mr. Thompson can make his ostlmatos
in eartala cases, and Mr. Flynn his bills to the
$1,000 limit without reaching it, may be seen, from
the fact, that on December 19, 1881, three bills for
om- purpose amounted to $2,098. One of these bills
was far t?5>9? M -only fifteen cuts lem than the
01,000 limit. But nearly all of Mr. Thompson's
orders to Mr. Fly un OTC supplies Of B similar natale
that should he purchaeed at public bids. The
Boondies are delivered principally ai the pips yards
of the dappil mimi; and, of oouroa, it would be quite
OS easy for the department to receive them ba large
quantities as in smaller lois. In fut it Will b I sec::
hy the list of or.leis print-il h. lew i; h. that Mi.
Thompaon has frequently given orders for the suma
kimi of supply, dating 1 ie ordera on succeeding
days, the oom bined amounts inncb exceedii
$1,000 limit, Bul mitre I1 lances ma\
be so ti by oompariug orders g ren Mr. Jonson
or Mr. Flynn on the sam" day for supplies of the
samecliaiactcr. < la one day the twoordi rs amounted
to $1,599, on another day $1,803; on another day
$1,80538, etc. On July 9 Mr. I'lynn waa given j
two ordera the total ol which was $1,133 70. Ona
of these was for " maiihi-a ls mid perforated
covers," and h.- other for "perforated man
bead coy.-is"! Although hydrants and stop
ooakn and stop-oock boxes oeeeaaarily go toge her
when papas are to be laid or alterations uncle In

First, as respects the ctlert of the woods upon

In spite of the published opinion of Professor
Sergent and oilier :iut Inn ii ifs that the cutting off of
woods would tnt affect tha rainfall of Northern
New-York, the contrary has so recently baan as?

ntl. i- OS CUCABtlXa OS -HO AMS AMI N.WIl.A
i ion.
Mea nw hi!,, what has happen -I to the stre una f.-il
hy these rainfalls, whose quantities ara so well de?
termined, we .lo not know, except in a very general
and unsatisfactory way. To our shame it must l?"
said thal no continuous record has been kepi of the
daily and monthly flow of water in our navigable
i, in the streams thal furnish power to our
n.an factories, or even in the channels th it supoly
the Erie ('anal. Neither is then any continuous
record ol the oscillations ol the numerous lakes
which serve such important purposes of water
storage and navigation, While the woods havs
been gradually cleared away, the streams on which
the prospei ity of the Mai.- so lai g ly dep.I- haye
been slowly undergoing very serious modifications.
The general character ol these changes is under?
stood; but their extent and tba rate al which they
are progressing are absolutely numeaaured, Thanks
to the iiurem tied efforts of the press,every ona
rs now that the effect of the rn.ls is to ki?
lli storage capacity of the ground nuder thc
trees: both because tho high alaaorbing power of
l.-af mould acts like a sponge to receive and hold
rain and melting snow, and because the shade keeps
the soil cool and prevents its moisture fromevapo
rating. Few people realize the enormous atnonnt
of water that is evaporated from unshaded ground.
Experiments in England and Denmark show thal in
thone i from twenty-three to thirty-five
inches ol water maybe evaporated from aoil io a
v.-ii wh re the mean annual rainfall is forty-five
inches. We therefore know thal the destruction of
w.I- causes the evaporation of a very great
amount "I water that would otherwise be carried
oil through thc apri iga, brooks an 1 rivers, in riew
of the established fact thal evaporation from
landa ni.iv leach fi-tiu 50 to 60 per cent of the an?
nual rainfall, no one c m -av how barga a pi rcentage
may be lost of thc pre-cut ii ,w of bend?
ing in the Adirondacks ahonld thai reg on bc
strippedo! winds. Thia lesa from evaporation la
most excessive in dry seasons. Thc lees the annual
rainfall thc gre lier ls likely tu be the p reel.:
loee, If tlie woods of tho Adiroud Ibecnl
and the ipi linty of wafer th,wm-.' in tim Black
Uiver, ih" Mohawk and tbs Hudson in liryes!
should by increased evaporation be lessened ?_..-, |?.r
cent, neither thc Brie Canal nor tin- upper 11 ml son
could be navigated, nor c ?uld thc nulls of ths Mo
be run during the late summer aud early
autumn.
Unfortunately there have 1.i, no ganging! of
these stnams that .an tell us how the preaeul sum?
mer Bow compare, with that of the past. Only a
small proportion of their water-shed baa yet been
stripped of trees; hut in dryesl years there is non
ti . surplus. All is required for the canal, tin- mills
and tin- Hudson. In view of a pi of 23
per 11 nt of the pr.it dry-year Bow in the M..hawk
ami thc Hudson, the necessity for State interven
i ion is established.
Tin: DI ? :i:t .Hiv Ol PABM LANDS.
D ? ?' - ile lowering of water ba dry years the de?
struction of woods causes great floods on water
sheds whuli have steep slop,--, ami the earth, no
longer bald ft tim hdhudes by the tree roots, is
washed down into the water ehauneha, So long aa
tin- cullen! ia swift the load of sediment ia carried
forward. On reaching tha larger ralleya, where
the velocity of tin- itre un lessens, tba silt begina to
deposit, fUlieg nit the water channels and thus
spraading tha flood ever adjacent lands, causing
in nc or leas injury to farm ag and othei property.
lu Cal,I,nana the oneal farms of the Sacramento
Valley wera threatened uitb destruction Hom this
cause. The liner aedimenta will, however, pa-s on
beyond the amalle] -ti.-.,ms and fill the navigable
channels ni th.- Hudson ni d thc ennui, 'li,es,, greal
highway* of the State are therefore threatened by
the doable danger ol being filled with increased
ats ol the il.ls, ami also deprived of a large
if their summer water supply; Ibis sup?
ply being reduced both hy Un- lo-, of water es

A furtbei result ..f ih.s il.Ung of laud- adi iceni

Four great public purposes are therefore to be
aervad by the preservation of thc Adirondack
?.la namely : Thc protectme ol i,,. . baan
osmansrra j the protection ai tha numnfacturang
iiiduatiii-a oaoieasVaot ou tho giivr ot Bratorht the
principal streams of Northern New-York; the pro?
tection of the farming lands aud other property ba
the lower valleys j and the protection of tho public
health. It ls this fourfold public necessity which
justifies the State in exercising its highest powers
either to condemn and take the Adirondack landa
bf the right of eminent domain, or to assume BUOh
control over them as is noauggggj to prevent public
calamity. If, ns nppenrs, tho public interests in?
volved (five the State extreme power- in this mut?
ter, how shall the .sovereign people proceed to ex?
it, is,- their power!
INDI SII'-HS THAT DI MANI) PUOTKCTION.
Those who demand that all wood-cutting iu tho
Adirondacks should Immediately be stopped hy
legislative enactment forget that ha the great cir?
cuit of nearly four hundred miles which measures
th., circumference nf thees*North W.N," there
has grown up u chain of prosperous industries based
on tho asing of wood, aud employing probably not
less tli:ni 20,01)0 people; ami that in thOM various
enterprises many millions of capital aro invested.
Tho principal Industries ate lumbering saw milling;
the getting of tau bark, tho making of charcoal
iron, woodpulp manufacture, and tho huming of
lime, Te facilitate these undertakings many milos
of railn-ad have been built and are dependent PU
their prosperity. Any sudden check to these busi?
nesses would occasion a ideeprced disaster through
the northern counties of tha state
If ha.sn.it, I think, been .shown that it la necessary
to slop any one of these mduatl NBS in order to secure
the preservation of the forests. Granted that thc
pii si i va-.iion of th.- woods is essential to the welfare
of thc Sl.-te, it does not follow that Hu-(lifting of
flees must stop. The ju. it ci t cd forests of Europe
produce annually enormous quantities of valuable
woods for lumber and other purposes, bul they im?
prove rather than deteriorate. If, therefore, the
Adirondack woods wereeutin a proper way they
would ba preserved and answer all public purposes
of wat.-r storage, while at the sams time yielding
ample revenue to their owners.
jue rowan am. dow ok nie arana.
Te pi- serve these forests two t bings an- required,
namely, the cutting of the trees under proper forest?
ry regulations and supervision, and the protection
of the woods from lire. No one doubts the power of
tba State to take these lands by tin- right of eminent
domain at an appraised value. Suet-th" greater
un holes the less, has not the State also the right to
acquire any partial control over the us.-of snell
land, controlling tha lands only so far as ls
necessary to secure public safety f if such control
a.s tin- Stats would exorcise in this matter can be
shown to deprive the private owner of part of his
property to his .1 image, this loss might ba appraised
ami paid fur. In reality there would be no damage,
bal a decided gain te private owners if, by thorough
supervision of the forest, the Brea which now maha
the value of aroodlanda so uncertain could be ma?
terially diminished in number and extent. A State
Forestry Commission with powers and means and
knowledge could, hy proper methods, here as in
other countries, enormously reduce tin-annual lost
from lires. Such protection would greatly benefit
all owners of woodland ami far mon l han compen?
sate fm any temporary inconvenience felt or fancied
from thc enforcement of proper mies respecting
cutting ami replanting It is wall known by ex?
perience that forests cut in thc best way yield iii Hu?
long run much mon! good lumber than w lieu
worked under tha wasteful methods windi have
I.D t.oiiiinon in this.ntiy.
Instead, therefore, of looking toward a purchase
by the Stale of this great tract of woods, ia il nol
better that tba State in ita sovereign capacity, i"i
the preservation of ita commerce and the pr..tc- tion
of the properly and hoalth of it- citizens, should as?
sume control of these forests only so fm a- may bo
necessary for their preservation, and make and en?
force through a Commission tha necessary rule
ami regulations, ls nol State control better tuan
State ownership f Very truly yours.

WaOBIHOTOB, dan. HI.?Tho Secretary of State
has received from (.'onsnl-Hcneral Merritt, at
London, an interesting ami valuable report, which
discusses a variety of important topics, including
labor, wages am! cost of living in langland, Pauper?
ism, education, the condition of the BosaBOBSr, and
open-hearth steel industries, thc falling ott in the
British export trade with the United States, the
administration of revenue laws, etc. In addition
to his own report, which is based upon thorough
personal investigation, Getaeral Men-itt transmits,
with comments, tha reports "f thc Consuls ba Groot
Britain, These reports aro extremely valuable
especially oil account of tho statistics they contain
in regard to labor and wages, the cost of living and
the condition of tho working ctaasue. It bander
stood that in his own investigations General
Merritt pissed over much of the ground and
observed many of tho industries described hy
Kobari P. Porter in his letters to Tn Tbibtjbb, ami
that iIn- result of his own official observations and

reached by Mr. Porter. It als) appears that the
Statistics gathered hy tho Consuls in regard to
labor, wage* and pries agreo in almosi every
particular with those obtained by If r. Porter end
published in Tun TBIBUBB. As these official
reports will mfon bc published by the state Depart?
