February 16 Much to the surprise of Chairman Burton, the Senate Committee on Commerce to-day restored the provision In the river and harbor bill for improving the Bay Ridge channel to a depth of 40 feet. The Senate committeo knocked out the amendment adopted by the House, authorising tne Secretary of War to complete this waterway to a' depth of 35 feet. It li likely that there will be a lively fight before the matter Is finally settled, for Chairman Burton is determined to enforce tho adoption of the House amendment. After the Senate committee had provided for a 40-foot channel for the South Brooklyn waterfront the Dill was reported to the Senate. As the measure now stands the existing project Is not to be modified in any A forty-foot it is difficult to prove that a particular man has not really earned the money that he miy possess.

Even as to the class of "idle rich," who are so much abused Ly the newspapers, he declared Controller Met! has undertaken stew 1o bring about the complete reorganization of the Bureau of Assessments and Arrears. With that object In view he has applied to the Civil Service Commissioa lor ninety-two seajchers to examine the records of the bureau since it was started and compile all the arrears which be due on property in the five boroughs which comprise the greater city. The Board of Estimate has made an appropriation of $48,000 to cover the cost of tho work.

It Is the understanding of the War Department that has thrown up his job. He was notified several weeks ago that unless he resumed dredging before February 15, the government would annul his contract. Bangs had done no work for about two months prior to receiving his ultimatum. It was stated at the War Department to-day that no word has been received from New York as to whether or not Bangs has gone on with his contract.

In his new project Mr. Metz has the hearty support of thq Bar Assooia'loo, which has been represented in the conferences held on the subject by Hjnry Galbraith Ward, the city and state civil service commissions and the Civil Service Reform Association. It has been agreed upon that if Mr.

Metz cannot find competent material among the men certified from the searchers list prepared by the Civil Service Commission he will be permitted to appoint men engaged In private employment. The work of tabulating the records will be done at night in order that the regular business of the bureau may not be Interfered with. Mr. Metz's plan for reorganization is best explained In the following letter to the Civil Service Commission: "Because of the inadequate and cumbrous procedure attaching to keeping the detailed records pertaining to the arrears of taxes, assessments and water rents in the several boroughs, it is my purpose to establish a system which will permit of readily ascertaining and determining the exact amount of unpaid taxe3, assessments and water rents on each piece and parcel of property throughout the Greater City.

The matter of an athletic field fop the schools of the League was discussed, and Messrs. Campbell, Smith, PabBt and Pforr were appointed a committee to find a field.

However, Mr. O'Brien, while disclaiming having authoritative Information, is exceptionally qualified to state tho essential features of the bill, as he is one of the Irish leaders foremost in supporting a solution of the Irish question along the lines on which the government is now proceeding. Mr. O'Brien wrote an explanation of the proposed measure as a means of giving irishmen in America Information upon this vital legislation, In which they are interested. He said: "I am not In a position to speak with Edmondsen, of the Washington Heights College of Music and Dramatic Art, is a The balance of money left from the original appropriation is not sufficient to complete the channel.

There is on hand $1,600,000, but army engineers say that no contractor will be willing to agree to complete the channel for this sum. Under the la.v adopted last year War Department officials would be subject to punishment if they were to enter Into a contract for the completion of Bay Rldje channel at a figure larger than the amount of money available. The attention of Chairman Frye, of the Senate Committee on Commerce, was called to this matter to-day, and he replied, "I have an amendment ready to cover this situation which I shall present on the floor of the Senate. This amendment proposes to authorize the Secretary of War to go ahead and use such funds as are available for the Bay Ridge channel, without regard to the final cost. By this plan th'sre will be no serious inter' ruptlon to work and the original idea of a 40-foot channel will be carried out." Senator Frye further stated that he had received many letters from Brooklyn interests complaining of the limitation placed on the channel by the House.

The 40-foot channel originated in the Senate committee and has always been favored by Senator Frye.
