of Aldermen adopted on March 11, 1902, and approved by the Mayor on March 18, 1902.

The vault space granted by the Board of Aldermen and upon which the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund fixed the compensation, was 2,422 2-10 square fect and as noted in said resolution, was bounded and described as follows: -"bounded on the north by the northerly curb line and on the south by the centre of Forty-first street and to extend from the westerly curb line on Park avenue to the westerly line of said company's property; also a vault situated beyond the curb line of Park avenue adjacent to the Company's property, to be bounded on the west by the westerly curb line of Park avenue as extended to the centre of Forty-first street; on the south by the centre line of Forty-first street, on the east and north by the westerly retaining wall of the Rapid Transit Tunnel, which is to be situated in Park avenue."

The vault space now proposed to be used by the Subway Realty Company is only in East Forty-first street and extends from the westerly line of said Company's property to the westerly curb line of Park avenue, extended, a space 12.7 by 15 feet, or 1,905 square feet, and at the rate fixed by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund at meeting of May 21, 1901, $1.25 per square foot will make the annual compensation $2,381.25, against $3,027.55 for the original proposed vault, a difference of $646.30.

In view of the statement of Mr. Belmont that the vault space is going to be reduced, I would advise

(a) That the annual compensation, $3,027.55, as fixed by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund at meeting of May 21, 1902, for vault privilege granted to the Subway Realty Company, at Forty-first street and Park avenue, be reduced to $2,381.25 per annum, on account of the vault space being reduced from 2,4222-10 square feet to 1,905 square feet.

(b) That the Comptroller be authorized to refund $646.30 to the Subway Realty Company, being the difference between the amount charged and paid for the original vault and the amount due for the smaller or reduced vault.

Second-Question of reducing the compensation on account of the roof of the vault being four feet six inches from the surface of the street instead of one foot ten inches, as originally intended.

This request I think should be denied. The top of the vault being within our feet six inches of the surface of the street, is sufficiently near to charge full compensation.

Respectfully,

EUG. E. McLEAN, Engineer.

The Comptroller presented the following report of the Engineer of the Department of Finance, and offered the following resolution relative to property at Rossville, Borough of Richmond, turned over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund by the Board of Education:

Hon. EDWARD M. GROUT, Comptroller:

July 19, 1902.

SIR--The Board of Education, at a meeting held July 7, 1902, adopted the following resolution:

"Resolved, That the building and premises, Public School 6 (old), Rossville, Borough of Richmond, be and they are hereby turned over to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund for disposal, as they are no longer required for school purposes."

The property consists of a plot of land, with a frontage of 87 feet 8 inches on the easterly side of Rossville avenue, south of Cleveland avenue, and has a depth of 167 feet 6 inches, as shown on the accompanying diagram. The lot marked “A” was acquired in 1857, and the rear lot "B" in 1883. There is a frame school building on the land.

I would suggest that this property be called to the attention of the President of the Borough of Richmond, to the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, and to the Commissioner of Police, with a request to advise the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund if they can use the same to advantage, in connection with their Departments.

Should it not be required by them, I would advise that the same be turned over to the Collector of City Revenue, to lease until such time as the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund shall see fit to sell the same.

Respectfully,

EUG. E. McLEAN, Engineer.
