DROP ASHOm 1 CASE. DAM 'CONTRACT LEGAL. Mayor Said To Be Inclined to Follow Pendletons Advice. * Corporation Counsel Pendleton practically ad rlwd Mayor McClellan yesterday that the Board «• Water Supply had act«?d -within its legal richts in a-wardlru: the Ashokan dam contract to other than the lowest bidder, and that the rase should be dropped. It is understood at the Otv Hall that nothing more will be hoard of the charges so far as the Mayor is concerned. In the opinion. Mr. Pendleton says:. • 1 am of the opinion that, as ■ matter of law, trie evidence and farts do not warrant the pre ferment of charges against the members of tho r>"ard." / The Commissioners of Accounts l^t year made a proloneed investigation of the award of the contract for the Ashokan dam in the <'a.iJJkllls to Mac Arthur Brothers Company and WlßfltM & Co. for $12,009,773. while the bid of 'he John Peirce Company was ?10..'?l"'.">'» - The Commissioners of Account* reported to the Mayor shortly before Christmas that the investi gation warranted charges of misconduct and in cf»mpetency acair^t the board, and that such charges would follow their report. The Mayor m not sure that the assumption of the Com missioners of Accounts was warranted, and re ferred the report to the Corporation Counsel for en opinion, Mr Pendleton's opinion, which prac tically justifies the board from a leeal point of -view, Ie as follows: January -~ r '. 19M. Hon. George B. McCWlan, Mayor. ,«„„„-» Mv Pear Sir: In reply to your J«**£isJSSi tar in opinion in retard to the matters oonnectea with th*- award of the contract fortlie <%pV-™ "^™ «f th- Ashokan L'r^rr by the Board of Watrr . u» r>lv I t#sr to say I have v«ry carefully eon* o«r sii'th^ papen c^nnicted with This subject, and haw been mlich asstst-e-d by the very thorough eMnuw tion and report by the Commissioners of Accounts who. under your direction, have >nvert*»i«l » -r-fullv all the facts. As ■ result of that tavw^ cation many things have become kr '°" n «rtilcß may not have been Known at the time. •?*** Milt -• may be. in the light of new information different conclusions might have been *5** d -_ 2 that as It may. the question I am now con^rn.-a Tvjih if quite different, and relate? exclustv.>ly to tho question of law arising In connection with tn« matters discussed. In my opinion given to you under date of October 3, l' o7. I said: "The Board or Water Supply was appointed un <l-r authority of Chapter <34 of the Laws of 1905. i>ectlon 29 of that statute is as follows: ~f?«nion 29. After the expiration of th- time limited in Th»» advertisement the said bldf or pro posals shall be publicly opened by the said Board of Wat* r Supply, and It may select the bid or pro posal th» acceptance of which will, in their judg ment. beat st-cure the efllclent performance of th.i •rortc. or they may reject any or all of sucJi bid?.' . . . "It is perfectly clear from this section of the statute that the Board of "Water Supply is at lib erty to accept any bid which. In its judgment, will h"ft secure the efficient performance of the work. even the highest bid. "I do not see how there can be any doubt of the rlcht of this board to select slacArthur Brothers Company a!ld Winston & Co. as the contractors, if the acceptance of their bid will, in '•• Judgment of me board, best —care the etticient performance of th» work. . . . "Similar provisions • \;-: hi other statutes, so that the frranline Of authority for the makinp of con tracts wish other than the lowest bidder is not un usuaL and many instanc*es could m cited in -wiiicn such contracts have been let. . . . 'The question aC '■ • advisability of letting the contract for this pr^a* and extraordteary work, so urgently needed and so important to the interests of the city, to a contractor not the lowest bidder ii not a question of law. but a quf-stion ':.' answer to which depends upon ■ multitude of facts and cir cumstances. - "The statute has placed the power of d^tTmininK this question in the Board of Water Supply. This Isrolves a gTeat responsibility. . . "If the fc»«ard failed to wisely exercise the <ll!» <"re*-ion thus vested in its members by statute, it ■wonld evidently be subject to grave criticism. "Very broad powers are given to the Board of Water Supply, and it was evidently Intended that :•: • should have zhf pow^r of letting contracts, par 'lrnlarly without tlie concurrence of any other board or city officer."' I see no reasou to in m y way modify the vims »bove expressed. ere ran be no doubt, there ! ire. in my juderment, that the KoarJ of Water ■»upply acted entirely within its powers when it assumed to determine the question whether or not H was for the best interests of th* city to let the r-ontraet to other than the lowest bidder That very • iad powers 4 w**re intended to be given to •he Board of Water Supply is further accentuated by the Eaet that the liability to removal, which If the only met] : of control prescribed by the act. ir? strictly limited by the express terms of the etatote. which pro'id-s: ■"No member of said board snail be removed r^ wrpt for incempetency of misconduct shown after s f.f-arin? upon du«* notice, upon stated charges." Taking the whole statute together. It is entirely r-vlis»--nt. I think, that it was the Intention of the TyppiMature ■■• vest great powers and ■ wide d;- rmtloti ::. the boanl. and at the sam< time and as arj aOjuncf of such birgr power to strictly limit, the r^:ht of removal t.j specific cases involving p«*r- TPTOiijrdoinK on behalf of the members; "mis conduct." as used bo the statute, m .-■ be held, in my opinion to mean wilful, conscious wrongdolns:, or.sucfa grQES neglig-ence a« will be tantamount to wilful wrongdoing. Errors in Judgment, or the fa ■ that the board came' to an erroneous conclu sion fes to any matter* It was authorised to pass "Jpoc. are strict] eliminated by the statute an srounfi= for removal. In this respect there is a ••■'■ narked distinction between this statute and the" provisions of the charter vesting absolute power of removal in the Mayor, and I think It "lear that the Legislature intended to make this «iistinct:o!i and to limit the right of removal to '•aw* ir. which the Mayor, after a hearing and on n?!a' oharcei. should Judicially find the existence "f the specific causes mentioned •• tne act as a ivrequisite to the power of removal. It L •-■"• - that st wry Furious difference of opinion baa developed as to whether the conclusion Of th<? heard not to award the contract for the A*! "kan Dam to the lowest bidder was wise or for the betst interests of tin city. I understand that th*» members of the board still adhere to their conclu -■nn that the course : IT sued ii\" them \\ ip a wis"; w»el Whether or not. In view of all the facts as j'O-*- apparent, such eonclup'cn was wise \? bnma ;<ria.i {(r the purposes of this opinion. The ques tion tented to me la. whether the facts and cvi .. *«. « t ifv th" ch"rr^ of !ncompeteney or mls con*act witiiin the meaning of th« statute. There is no ;.'.>Minn on behalf of anybody reflecting; upon other the Integrity or the motives <>f the mttnKr« of the commission, and after a \ery rar<- {'.■l -".nsioeration of all the clreunwtancea I am of •Viriion that, as matter of law. the evidence and facts do not warrant the preferment of charges wcainfit the members of the board.

VKW-YORK TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1908. PAGES NINE TO FOURTEEN. HAMILTON BA.VK OPENS Deposits First Day Nearly Equal to the Withdrawals. The Hamilton Bank, at No. "V, \\>st ISth street, and its six branches in Harlem and The Bronx, were reopened yesterday. The institution has ex perienced many vicissitudes since M was closed on October 24 by order of the Mato Banking Depart ment in the financial ferment of that month. The Hamilton went into the hands of a receiver, its condition was examined, and Justice B tta, of the Supreme .Court, declared the bank solvent. A sec ond examination was made by order of Superin tendent Clark Williams of the State Banking De partment who approved the report of the ex aminera. • Notwithstanding Ihe Ion? delay in the resumption of business; however, there was no STreaU anxiety yesterday of depositors to draw out funds, wlille the proportion of those v.ho went to the main bank or its branches for the purpose of adding to deposit* was large Frank L. Grant, the new president, In commenting at the close of busings on tfce aus picious reopening, said that the day had proved satisfactory to the institution's officials. When the doors opened the bank had on hand ready to pay out ILMO.OOO. half a million to pay the depositors who had signed the agreement to accept '„ per cent In cash on reopening, and an other half-million to pay out U. the 30 p*r cent of th^ depositors who had refused to sign the agree ment A much smaller percentage of depositor* of cither class appeared to withdraw their money than was expected. There were also many new accounts opened. President Grant announced that the total withdrawals in all the branch** exceeded the deposits by nlys«9.4U. At the Tremont branch the deposits exceeded the withdrawals l" $30,?00, being respectively $80,009 and 150.W0. Mr Grant. Vice-President Ives and Jessr C. .Toy, the ca«hi<ir. appeared at the mam bank at 8 o'clock in the morning. Half an hour later three automo biles drew up. and the clerks quickly lo.id"d Into them SI.OOO.OOi' in bills and pold and silver coin, which was taken to the various branches. Thfre w**re only twenty-five persons In line at the 135 th street bank wafting to withdraw money when the paying teller opened his window. The bank and the i branches have about eighteen thousand de positors. Mr. Grant said: "We have more than ample funds in meet all demands, and the Hamilton Bank is now stranger than it ever as." REFEREE'S REPORT UP. Hearing Over Accounting of Re public Savings Receivers. Argument on the application for the confirmation of the report of Referee Alexander McKlnny re garding the accounting of Edward G. R!«i?8 and Otto Kelsey, receivers of the Republic Savings and Loan Association, was heard by Justice Carr. of the Supreme Court. Brooklyn, yesterday afternoon in his chambers. McKlnny's report showed that the receivers had taken in about $284.'*j00 and bad paid out about $250,01*), leaving assets still to # be distributed amounting to about J31.00J. The basis of McKinny's report was a recent agreement arrived at by the parties in the caw whereby Kelsey and Riggs and their counsel. Has brouck & Johnson, promised to ask for no pay for the work which they have done since ISO3-the time of the Brat accounting. The receivers pur pose to give back to the concern COM. bringing up the total amount of upsets on hand to about PS,«O». The argument yesterday concerned chiefly the additional costs of the Insolvency proceed ings, which, if allowed, will reduce the assets by about *S,hOO. Special Deputy Milton M. Goldsmith, who haa represented the Attorney General in most of th*> proceedings, wants an allowance of ?C,O»»J and hi« predecessor. O. P. Howell. wanV BjMQI Keftre«i McKinny's demand is for 51.r.00. and his stenogra pher wants Jl.ft'O. McKinny's and the stenog rapher's demands an regulated entirely by stat ute. Further, Hasbrouck says that Riggs and K«l- F*>y need $1,500 for distributing the assets on hand to* the forty-four hundred stockholders of the as sociation. Ultimately, It is estimated, the stock holders will something like 0 per oent of their original Investments. Louis Frankel. who represents Job E. Hedges, the attorney for some 40 per cent of the stock holders, made a severe attack on the claims of Mr. Howe!!, who, he paid, had not done <*''*> worth of work. T. R. Martin, a Pennsylvania law-* ver. tried to show the court that Howell and Gold smith had no right to compensation, but his argu ment was based on ■ wrong assumption Of New York law, and he took his seal after Justice Carr had shown him wherein he was wrong. He repre sented Charles A. Jennings, a stockholder. Justice Carr. when Ilasbrouck tried to convince him that the receivers needed SI.SM more to dis burse the asset*, said: "I have disbursed more than twice as much money on a good deal less." rlasbrouck declared that the receivers were wil ling to step down and let any one disburse. the aFS «i s who was willing to do the work lor less money. , VISIT aNICKERBOCKER PEPOSTTORS Agents of Satterlee-Parsons Committee Seek Reasons for Withholding Assets. • Herbert L,. Batterlee, counsel for the Satterlee- Parsotiß depositors' # committoe of the Knicker bocker Trust Company. said last nighi that, a^tlntr under instructions of the court, hi« committee had "divided th« city Into forty dfstrtrta and pent out forty men who would visit all depositors who had not assented already to the plan of re sumption and urge them to ir> *o or else j*tat« their reaaens for not Joining In the plan.

There, is som'i uncertainty In financial circles as to the attitude the State Banking Department will tak«. in regard to the certificates of deposit of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, which state Institutions and insurance companies will receive if they assent to the reorganization plan. It la generally believed, however, that they will be ac cepted as legal reserve. Their status will have to be determined by the Attorney GeneraL L. * N. PIVIDEND CAUSES COMMENT. Few Persons in Wall Street Know About Louisville Property Company. The extra dividend of 1 per cent, declared Satur day on Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company stock, which is payable in stock of the Lou'svilla Property Company at par, aroused considerable curiosity yesterday in Wall Street, as few persons had ever heard of the Louisville Property Company. It was learned from a director of the company that the Louisville Property Company owned real estate and manufacturing enterprises along the line of -the Louisville & Nashville. The last annual re port of the railroad company showed among se curities owned $50,000 of Louisville Property Com pany stock. As there is outstanding ■ $60,000,000 of Louisville & Nashville stock tho extra 1 per cent dividend calls for $600,000 In Louisville Property Company stock. Louisville & Nashville stock sold ex-dlvldend yes terday, but was not affected by the extra disburse ment. A director, when pressed for some ex planation or the extra dividend, said the "whole affair was a mere legal technicality of no interest whatsoever." The extra dividend is payable on February 10.

The bituminous coal demand throughout the country ban been cut just about one-half, owing, it was said yesterday, to the let-up in manufacturing in the last two months. Despite this not one of the great coal mhilnfr companies with offices In this city, Is other than optimistic ss to an early revival in all branches of industry. Similar condi tion.* exist in th- coke industry, and the anthracite market has been affected by the continued mild weather. An agreement among bituminous mining com panies to curtail the. output was reached last week. The railroad companies have expressed a willing ness to restrict the supply of ears, and until busi ness conditions nick up there will be, according to one of the trre;ttcst producers in the country, a cautious forwarding of supplies to all market?. Contracts will be maintained, he said, but every thing will lv made as easy as possible for th* con sumer who may find himself unable to use all he iiißUKe.!. The price of bituminous tins b<-en cut in some Instances as much as 50 cents a ton. The cross tonnage mined last year was approximately 300,490,609. In the coke industry. It was said yesterday, the curtailment in production has been radical In the greatest coke district, Old l?a.«tn. in Connellsyllle. there were 3.8 M ovens in active operation the greater part of last year; now only 9.024 ovens are in use. This means the laying off of about 40.000 in-^n. ajid that tigure. an officer of a coke company Bald. Bright be greatly increased when the workers in the coal mines dependent upon the eok«»a»v»ns were taken into consideration. He looks for a gradual improvement, however. In the anthracite trade, It «•■' said, there has been no shut down of mines, and no prospect of considerable curtailment. A let-up -would be wel comed by some, so that coal might be stored. An anthracite man said: ■•We will not have to curtail our output unless the mlld,,weather continues, and then only a little. The growth of the country Is taking care of our bard times. Every new building means an increase of coal consumption. In th-> suburbs new homes arc going up by the hundred, and in this city new apartment houses. dwelling houses and office build ings «re increasing the demand. We have not the least trouble in placing all the coal we mine, and do not anticipate any curtailment beyond the nor mal, incident to a mild winter. We have made no change in our prices, and Jo not contemplate mak ing any.!' RECEIVER FOR fRUST CO. Another Providence Institution in Trouble. Providence, Jan.
