INTRODUCTION 
 
 The late John Dikeman, Jr., a member of the legal profes- 
 sion, and for some time Clerk of the City Court of Brooklyn, 
 was engaged for some years previous to his death in the com- 
 pilation of a work which he styled " The Brooklyn Compen- 
 dium." His object was the preparation of a connected record 
 of the dates of the opening and closing of the various streets 
 and avenues of the City of Brooklyn, and the alterations made 
 in the lines thereof, from time to time, and the authority under 
 which the same were done, with other information of a kindred 
 character^ arranged in such a form as to be of ready and 
 convenient reference for those in search of such knowledge. 
 That he was successful in this effort, the testimony of gentle- 
 men, regarded as competent to judge, familiar with the work 
 while it was his private property, fully attests. Indeed, it was 
 their earnest representations of the value of the work to 
 the public at large, which induced the Common Council on 
 the eleventh of July, 1870, to adopt a resolution, directing 
 the purchase of the manuscript and copy right, for the sum of 
 $2,000, and its publication in the form in which it now 
 appears. 
 
 No person was empowered to continue the Compendium 
 from the time the labors of Mr. Dikeman upon it ceased, and 
 the work is printed therefore precisely as it is found in the 
 manuscript delivered to the City.

 Note.— The Commissioners have not given upon their maps the widths of the streets, 
 nor the dimensions of the blocks of land in the first five wards, but have exhibited the 
 connection of said streets, with the streets &c„ laid out by them. 
 
 t Upon comparing the Commissioners' maps with the Trustees' map of the Village of 
 Brooklyn ^Schedule A.) and vjrith Herbert & Tolford's map of the City of Brooklyn 
 (Schedule B.) it will be perceived that the names of John and Marshall streets on the 
 two last named maps have been exchanged upon the Commissioners' maps.

 FOR 1870 
 
I'he Common Counca directed the publication in the Manual for this 
 year of the " Compendium," prepared by the late John Dizeman, jr. , 
 and appropriated towards the purchase of the copyright of said work, 
 the sum of $1,500, from the fund set apart to defray the cost of pre- 
 paring and publishing the Manual. The Board also directed the print- 
 ing of 250 extra copies of the Manual containing the "Compendium " 
 to be oflFered for sale to the general public. The absorption of the 
 Manual fund for these objects must be the apology of the compiler, if 
 any is needed, for the paucity of the matter in the present work, and 
 for the absence of the engravings usually illustrating it. In truth, un- 
 der the circumstances, the work this year is rather the compilation of 
 the Common Council itself than of its clerks. The fact that the copy 
 of the Compendium was not received until a late day, accounts for the 
 delay in the publication of the work.

 OF THE 
 
 CITY OF BROOKLYN 
 
 « << ^ »> > 
 
 The provisions of the act organizing the Paid Fire Depart- 
 ment, passed May 4th, 1869, are so well-known and their ope- 
 ration so thoroughly approved by all parties, that it is deemed 
 necessary to present in this work only such amendments as 
 were made by the Legislature at its last session, and which 
 became a law April 21, 1870. They are as follows : 
 
 Section 1. The Common Council of the city of Brooklyn 
 shall have power to extend the fire limits of the said city, as 
 now established by the act passed April thirtieth, eighteen hun- 
 dred and sixty-six, entitled " An act to establish fire limits, and 
 for the more effectual prevention of fires in the city of Brook- 
 lyn," and the several acts amendatory thereof, and embraced 
 within such limits any portions of said city not now embraced 
 therein as they shall deem proper. Such power may be exer- 
 cised from time to time by the said Common Council, but only 
 after thirty days' notice in the corporation newspapers of their 
 intention to do so, and by resolution duly adopted by the Board 
 of Aldermen and approved by the Mayor, and a copy certified 
 by the Clerk of said city, published for thirty days successively 
 in the corporation papers of said city. No extension shall be 
 of force and effect until such publication shall be duly made. 
 
 § 2. The powers and duties devolved by the acts mentioned 
 in the preceding section upon the Superintendent of Buildings 
 and the Board of Trustees of the Fire Department are hereby 
 transferred and committed to and imposed upon the Commis- 
 sioners of the Fire Department of said city. The offices of 
 Superintendent of Buildings, Inspector of Buildings and 
 Clerk, created by said acts, are hereby abolished; and all 
 the papers, books and property pertaining to the said 
 offices are hereby transferred to the Commissioners. The 
 Commissioners shall from time to time designate one of their 
 own number, who shall be charged with the execution of the 
 provisions of said acts in the territory established or to be 
 
231 
 
 established as the Fire Limits of said city, as Superintendent of 
 Buildings, subject, however, to the general supervision of the 
 whole Board of Fire Commissioners, and subject to appeal to 
 said Board by parties aggrieved in all cases from his decision. 
 The said Fire Commissioners shall employ such persons as may 
 be necessary to carry out the provisions of the said acts ; pro- 
 vided, however, that the aggregate amount of salaries paid such 
 employes shall not exceed the sum of ten thousand dollars per 
 annum. For the purposes of defraying the expenses and sala- 
 ries necessary to carry out the provisions of this act for the 
 year eighteen hundred and seventy, the Mayor, Comptroller 
 and City Clerk are hereby directed to borrow upon temporary 
 loan the sura of six thousand dollars. The Joint Board of 
 Supervisors and Aldermen shall cause to be levied and collected 
 and paid in the year eighteen hundred and seventy -one, such 
 sum as shall be necessary to pay the interest on the money so 
 borrowed, and in such year such sum as shall be necessary to 
 pay the principal of the money so borrowed, and the Treasurer 
 shall immediately apply the money so collected and paid to 
 him toward the payment of the interest and principal of the 
 money so borrowed, raised for the expenses and salaries before 
 mentioned, for the year eighteen hundred and seventy-one and 
 every year thereafter, shall be raised, levied and collected in 
 the same manner as the other expenses of said city are raised, 
 levied and collected. All moneys accruing from the violation 
 of the provisions of said act, after deducting the expenses of 
 collection, shall be paid into the City Treasury by the said 
 Commissioner acting as Superintendent as aforesaid, who is 
 hereby authorized to collect and receive the same, in the name 
 of the said Board of Fire Commissioners. 
 
 § 3. The terms of office of the Fire Commissioners of the said 
 city, appointed under and in pursuance of the act entitled "An 
 act to reorganize the Fire Department of the city of Brooklyn," 
 psssed May fourth, eighteen hundred and sixty- nine, are hereby 
 reduced, so that those two Commissioners who were appointed 
 for six years shall hold for four years only from the time of 
 their appointment; and those two Commissioners appointed 
 for eight years shall hold for six years only from the time of 
 their appointment. At the expiration of the terms of said 
 Commissioners respectively, successors shall be nominated by 
 the Mayor and appointed by the Board of Aldermen, to hold 
 their offices for five years, and until their successors shall be in 
 like manner appointed and duly qualified. Vacancies occurring 
 in such office by death, resignation or otherwise, shall be filled 
 in manner as aforesaid for the unexpired term. 
 
 § 4. The Common Council of the city of Brooklyn, upon the 
 recommendation of the Commissioners of the Fire Department 
 
232 
 
 of said city, may authorize the increase of the force, hose, land, 
 houses and apparatus of the said Fire Department, from time to 
 time, as it may deem proper ; the expenses of such increase 
 shall be provided for in the same manner as the other expenses 
 of said city ai*e raised, levied and collected. 
 
 § 5. Within thirty days after the passage of this act, the said 
 Fire Commissioners shall file with the Comptroller of the city 
 of Brooklyn a list of all real estate, also a list of all appai'atus 
 under their control, in pursuance of section twelve of the act 
 entitled " An act to reorganize the Fire Department of the city 
 of Brooklyn," passed May fourth, eighteen hundred and sixty- 
 nine, not required by them for the pm-pose of the said Fire 
 Department ; and the said property shall then be disposed of 
 as said Fire Commissioners may direct, and the proceeds there- 
 of shall be paid into the treasury of said city, as a fund to the 
 credit of the Fire Department of said city, and are hereby 
 appropriated for the purpose of purchasing new hose and appa- 
 ratus, and for building and repairing engine houses, as may be 
 required by the said Commissioners. 
 
 § 6. The moneys appropriated and authorized to be raised for 
 the purposes of this act, or which may hereafter be raised for 
 the purposes of said Fire Department, shall be deposited with 
 the Treasm*er of the city of Brooklyn, as a fund to the credit of 
 the Fire Department of said city. The Treasurer of said 
 department shall, on the first day of each month, make his draft 
 for the monthly expenses of said department upon the Mayor 
 and Comptroller of said city ; and no moneys shall be otherwise 
 drawn from the City Treasury on account of such Fire Depart- 
 ment. 
 
 § 7. The provisions of the several acts mentioned in the first 
 section of this act are hereby declared to extend over and apply 
 to the whole city of Brooklyn, except as hereinbefore provided. 
 This act shall not affect any suit now pending to recover penal- 
 ties or enforce the provisions of said acts.

REPORT 
 
 OP THE 
 
 The following extracts are made from the last report of the 
 Park Commissioners : 
 
 The success of our Park enterprise, now so generally admit- 
 ted, is believed to have contributed largely to the production of 
 the increased values to which the Commissioners have referred. 
 On reference to the assessment rolls of the City's property, 
 they find that since the commencement of active operations on 
 the Park, there has been added to her tax list the large 
 amount of $77,232,410, the Board of Assessors having felt 
 themselves justified by its very obvious increase, in adding 25 
 per cent, to the list of her taxable property for the year 1869. 
 The amount of such property is now $196,624,110, while in the 
 rural districts it is $11,808,933, making the total amount now 
 standing on the Assessor's books, $208,433,043 ; nearly two- 
 fifths thereof having been added since the period above referred 
 to. It should be observed, also, in order to a proper apprecia- 
 tion of these facts, that a large portion of this increase, to wit : 
 the sum of $32,820,059, has arisen in the wards immediately 
 surrounding the Park, including the town of Flatbush, thereby 
 increasing the city's annual income nearly a million of dollars. 
 
 It * in * * * * 
 
 The Commissioners have claimed for Brooklyn the advantage 
 of being a more desirable place of residence in many respects 
 than New York, and they think it can be readily shown that 
 she possesses finer sites for city residences, in connection with 
 the refined enjoyments of a Park, than can be found in that 
 city. She has even now, under her own conti'ol, a district of 
 country, east of Flatbush Avenue, in the highest degree 
 attractive, and which, if properly improved, would open up 
 another large district southeily and easterly therefrom, to the 
 immense advantage of our city, both socially and financially. 
 But in order to develop these advantages fully, they think it 
 will be necessary to revise the whole street plan of this quarter 
 of the city, while it is yet under easy municipal control, and to 
 lay it out anew in such a way as will not only be much more 
 convenient and useful to the public, than it would be under any 
 other plan yet suggested, but must make it perfectly apparent 
 
253 
 
 that we have, in Brooklyn, in close connection with oiir Park, 
 more desirable places of residence than can be found elsewhere 
 in any city. The lower portion of the map which is annexed 
 to this report will further explain this last suggestion of the 
 Commissioners, while it also indicates the location and extent 
 of land which they propose to sell. 
 
 If sdld, it would of course be with proper restrictions in 
 regard to the character of the improvements to be made upon 
 it, and with suitable reservations of streets and avenues. The 
 Commissioners intend to reserve, besides the avenues which 
 they propose to lay out with wide planted borders, and the 
 Reservoir ground, with an ornamental garden around it, a body 
 of land two hundred and sixty feet in depth fronting the Park, 
 to be held by the city as a site for public buildings and institu- 
 tions, as stated in their last annual report. 
 
 They do not propose to interrupt, but to improve and ampli- 
 fy all the dii'ect lines of communication through the district east 
 of the Park, retaining for Park purposes every foot of land 
 from which a view of the bay or of the sea can be had. But 
 after making all these reservations, there will still remain a 
 body of over one hundred acres of land, to be disposed of with 
 such restrictions as will insure the erection upon it of strictly 
 first class dwelling houses. A former report estimated the pro- 
 ceeds of such sale at two and a half millions of dollars ; but the 
 Commissioners are advised that their estimate was too low by 
 at least half a million of dollars. If to this is added a million 
 for its improvement when retained as a Park, which the 
 experience of the Commissioners in dealing with ground of a 
 similar character on the other side of the avenue, induces them 
 to believe would be a fair estimate of the expense, the differ- 
 ence to the city between selling and retaining this land, will 
 amount to at least four millions of dollars. But this is not all : 
 for if we double the price of the land as a fair representation of 
 the value of the buildings which would probably be erected 
 upon it, we shall add immensely to the taxable property of our 
 city, besides increasing her annual revenue by at least half a 
 million of dollars. The general views upon the subject of a 
 sale here presented, were more fully expressed by the President 
 of this Commission, at a public discussion of the matter to 
 which the Park Commissioners invited their fellow citizens last 
 spring at the Court House. 
 
 ******* 
 
 During the past season, the work of construction has gone 
 forward upon all the Parks under the control of the Commis- 
 sioners, with as much rapidity as was practicable, and they 
 respectfully refer to the reports of their landscape Architects 
 and Engineers, which are hereto annexed, for a full detail of 
 the various operations in which they have been engaged. The 
 
254 
 
 whole area under treatment, thus far, is 352 acres in Prospect 
 Park, and 30 acres on Washington Pai'k. 255 acres of the 
 former Park, consisting of woodland, shrubbery and meadow, 
 with the intervening roads, walks and waters, are now com- 
 plete. The finished drives extend over a space of five miles in 
 length, and the bridle paths an equal distance. Of finished 
 walks, we have over five miles, with four additional miles in 
 progress. And the construction of the whole design, with a 
 slight exception, may now be said to be complete east of a line 
 drawn through the middle of the Park. Work is more or less 
 advanced over the entire residue of the Park, and the greater 
 part of it can, in the opinion of the landscape architects, be 
 readily placed in a condition suitable for public use, in the 
 course of another season. 
 
 One of the most interesting incidents of the year's progress 
 has been the completion of the great well and water works 
 connected therewith. A full description of this fine specimen 
 of engineering skill, and of the very satisfactory results which 
 have been obtained, will be found in the able report of Mr. 
 Martin, the Engineer-in-Chief. The Board have now no doubt 
 that the supply of pure spring water from this source will be 
 amply sufficient to keep the extensive ornamental waters of 
 this Park in a good healthy condition, independent of any 
 other supply. 
 
 The work on Washington Park has been diligently prosecut- 
 ed, and its interior improvement is now so nearly complete as 
 to justify the erection of the stone wall which is now engaging 
 the attention of the architects, and will speedily enclose this 
 popular resort. A tasteful design for the vault to be erected in 
 this Pai-k, for the reception of the remains of the Prison Ship 
 Martyrs, has been prepared and is under advisement by the 
 Board. The matter will continue to receive that degree of 
 consideration which it so justly deserves. 
 
 Tompkins Park, which is laid out in a rapidly growing 
 quarter of the city, was recently placed under the charge of the 
 Board; but no provision seems to have been made for its 
 improvement ; and the Commissioners have consequently been 
 unable to do anything further than to protect the property from 
 depredation. They trust, however, that authority will be 
 given by the present Legislature, to raise money sufficient to 
 improve this Park in a style corresponding with the other 
 small Parks of Brooklyn. 
 
 The Parade Ground is now in complete order, and has during 
 the last season witnessed some of the finest displays of our 
 citizen soldiery ever exhibited in Kings County. In addition to 
 the trees planted and roads worked, a substantial shelter-house 
 with suitable accommodations for the military on parade days, 
 has been erected on the ground ; the main building being forty 
 
255 
 
 feet square, with wings extended to the distance of sixty-four 
 feet on each side. 
 
 During the past year nothing of any importance has been 
 done towards the improvement of the City Park. It is in fact, 
 becoming every day more evident, as the superior attractions of 
 Washington Park are being developed, that the City Park is 
 not likely for some time to come to be used to any extent as a 
 pleasure ground. When the population of that quarter of the 
 city shall have crowded Washington Park beyond its capacity, 
 and shall require greater Park facilities than ai'e now afforded 
 by its beautiful slopes and hills, or when our city's debt shall 
 have been brought within such easy and reasonable proportions 
 as shall cease to be a serious burden to our tax-payers, the dis.- 
 cussion of the best method of fitting up the CJity Park as a 
 place of amusement may be resumed with advantage ; but at 
 present the Commissioners deem it unwise and impolitic to 
 expend upon it that amount of money and labor which would 
 be required to render it at all suitable for such a purpose. 
 
 It may be many years before the public accomodation will 
 justify such an expenditure : but in the meantime the property 
 may and should be put to some profitable use. Its advantages 
 as a market site were set forth in a former report of these 
 Commissioners, and need not here be repeated. Public opinion 
 seems fully to have endorsed their recommendation to use it for 
 the purposes of a general public market; and they hoped that 
 some action of the Common Council would ere this have result- 
 ed in the establishment of that much needed public accommo- 
 dation. But no such movement having been made, they think 
 they should no longer delay to act upon that requirement of 
 the law which placed this Park under their supervision, and 
 renders it obligatory upon them to suggest to the Legislature 
 such further legislation in regard to all the Brooklyn Parks as 
 they shall deem advisable. 
 
 The unveiling of the Lincoln statue erected upon the Plaza 
 of Prospect Park by the dollar subscriptions of our people 
 under the management of the War Fund Committee of Kings 
 County, formed an epoch in the history of our city, as well as 
 of om' Park, and gave occasion to an interestiog display of taste 
 and of patriotism. A. A. Low, Esq., officiated as the presiding 
 officer, and delivered the opening address ; after which the 
 statue was duly presented by James P. Wallace, Esq., on behalf 
 the Committee, and was received by the President of this 
 
 Commission in terms befitting the occasion. 
 
 ******* 
 
 It will be observed, also, that the ftmd for the construc- 
 tion of Prospect Park has now reached the limit assigned to it 
 by the law of 1868, and as an application must be made to the 
 Legislature for additional means with which to finish this Park, 
 
it may not be improper to glance at the history of past legisla- 
 tion, as connected therewith. The law of 1860, which organized 
 the first Board of Commissioners and gave form and feature to 
 the original Park enterprise of our city, directed that no plan 
 for the improvement of the land thereby placed under their 
 charge should be adopted or undertaken," of which the entire 
 expense when funded would require for the payment of its 
 annual interest a greater sum than $30,000 per annum. This 
 amount was slightly modified by the amended Act of the next 
 year, which limited the cost of improvement to $500,000, and 
 was adapted to the simple and inexpensive style of improve- 
 ment originally suggested for this Park. The restriction, of 
 course, applied only to the comparatively small portions of land 
 lying in the vicinity of Flatbush avenue, as contemplated 
 by the Act of 1860, and had no reference to the enlarged Park 
 which was subsequently placed under the charge of the reor- 
 ganized Board. In their first expenditures of money the Com- 
 missioners confined themselves to this amount so long as they 
 were operating upon land within the original Park boundaries ; 
 but by the Act of 1866, which extended the Park area to very 
 nearly its present dimensions — 228 acres having been added — a 
 new and entirely different style of improvement was adopted, 
 requiring the expenditure of more money. The former restric- 
 tion was acco:^;dingly removed and the Commissioners were 
 authorized to expend such reasonable amounts for improvement 
 as should be found necessary, and the city authorities were 
 directed to issue bonds and furnish means upon the requisition 
 of this Board, in the same manner as they had been dii-ected to 
 do under the former Act. This arrangement continued until 
 1868, when the improvement fund was limited to three millions 
 of dollars, including the bonds which had been previously 
 issued. 
 
 This limit, as we have said, has now been reached ; but a 
 very considerable portion of the Park, including the fifty acres 
 recently annexed, yet remains to be improved, and the Com- 
 missioners will be obliged to suspend further operations until 
 the Legislature shall have provided means for its completion. 
 As to the exact amount which will yet be required for this pur- 
 pose, the Commissioners can make no very definite statement. 
 A fine work of art, such as the regulation and embellishment of 
 a Park of this description, cannot properly be executed by con- 
 tract, but in the judgment of the Commissioners the amount 
 required will not exceed two millions of dollars. 
 
 Before closing their report it may not be uninteresting to the 
 taxpayers of our city for the Commissioners to state the extent 
 of the bm-don which Park enterprise now imposes upon our 
 city. The amount awarded for land first purchased tor Pros- 
 pect Pai'k, on the 15th of June, 1864, including expenses, as 
 
257 
 
 appears from the official report filed in the County Clerk's 
 
 office, was $1,387,606 27 
 
 For the second purchase on the 5th Febuary, 
 
 1866 158,558 40 
 
 For the third purchase on the 27th May, 1867, 752,745 01 
 
 And for the fourth and last purchase, on the 
 
 13th of April, 1869 1,705,248 32 
 
 Total $4,004,158 01 
 
 From this deduct the amount awarded to the 
 city for a strip of land, thirty feet wide, 
 taken from the Park for the widening of 
 Vanderbilt avenue, and paid into the 
 sinking fund to be applied in the redemp- 
 tion of Park bonds 28,509 60 
 
 And the present cost of all the land pur- 
 chased will be S3,975,648 41 
 
 If to this we add the amount authorized to be 
 
 expended for improvement 3,000,000 00 
 
 The total indebtedness of the city at this 
 
 time, on account of this Park, will be $6,975,648 41 
 
 But no solicitude need be felt by our citizens on the score of 
 expense. In a merely pecuniary point of view, and without 
 regard to the immense social and moral consideration involved 
 in the possession and use of such a Park, the acquisition of the 
 property is proving, as we have shown, a splendid inves};ment 
 for the city; and every dollar now expended upon it will add 
 to its permanent value. This property has cost, say seven mil- 
 lions of dollars ; but if sold to-day it would realize more than 
 enough to pay the whole debt of the city ; and long before the 
 bonds issued for its purchase shall have matured, it will, in all 
 probability, be worth ten times its cost, besides giving an 
 impetus to property in its neighborhood that will afford a tax 
 more than sufficient to pay the interest on its cost, and liquidate 
 the entire debt at maturity, without adding anything to the 
 general taxation.

The restoration of municipal rights to the city of Brooklyn, 
 freeing her from the partial and arbitrary control of a more 
 powerful neighbor, and at the same time enabling her to 
 declare to what extent her taxation shall go for general and 
 special purposes, was inaugurated in the following re-organiz- 
 ing of the Police Department. Its sections are as follows : 
 
 Section 1. The City of Brooklyn shall hereafter constitute a 
 separate police district, and a police department is hereby es- 
 tablished therein, with the powers and duties in this act pre- 
 scribed. 
 
 § 2. The management and control of said department, sub- 
 ject to the provisions of this act, are vested in a Board of Com- 
 missioners, to be known and designated *' The Board of Police 
 for the City of Brooklyn," and to be composed of the Mayor 
 and two other persons, to be appointed as in the next section 
 provided. 
 
 § 3. Upon the passage of this act, the Mayor of the said city 
 shall nominate and the Board of Aldermen appoint two discreet 
 and respectable citizens of said city as Commissioners of Police, 
 who shall respectively hold their oflSces for four years from and 
 after the thirty-first day of December, next succeeding their 
 appointment, and until their successors have duly qualified. 
 In case of the death, resignation, removal from the said city, 
 removal from office or other inability to serve of the said Com- 
 missioners, or either of them, during the term for which they 
 shall be appointed, the vacancy or vacancies shall be filled for 
 the balance of the term, upon the nomination of the Mayor, 
 and confirmation thereof by the Board of Aldermen of said city. 
 Before entering upon the duties of their office the said Com- 
 missioners shall severally take and subscribe the oath of office 
 prescribed by the Constitution of this State, and file the same 
 in the office of the clerk of the County of Kings. The said 
 Commissioners may be removed fiom office by the Supreme 
 Court for neglect ol duty, malfeasance in office, bribery, or cor- 
 ruption ; but no removal shall be made except upon charges, 
 nor unless the party shall have been served with a copy of the 
 charges and have had an opportunity to be heard. The said 
 
263 
 
 Commissioners shall each receive for his services a salary of 
 three thousand dollars a year, to be paid out of the city treasury 
 in the same manner as the salaries of other officers of said city 
 are paid. Any Commissioner who shall, during his term of 
 office, accept or hold any other public office of emolument, or 
 who shall during his term of office be publicly nominated for 
 any office elective by the people, and shall not, within ten days 
 succeeding the same, publicly decline the said nomination, shall 
 in that case be deemed thereby to have vacated his office, and 
 the same shall be vacated accordingly. 
 
 § 4. The Commissioners shall divide said city into precincts, 
 not exceeding one precinct to each thirty-six of the patrolmen 
 authorized to be appointed. They may also establish sub-pre- 
 cincts and assign two sergeants, two doormen and as many 
 patrolmen as they may deem sufficient to each sub-precinct, and 
 shall appoint a telegraph operator who shall be assigned to 
 duty by the chief of police. They shall appoint as many cap- 
 tains of police as there may be precincts and asssign one cap- 
 tain and as many sergeants and patrolmen as they shall deem 
 sufficient to each precinct. 
 
 § 5. The police force shall consist of a chief of police, cap- 
 tains, sergeants, and patrolmen, who shall be appointed by the 
 Commissioners. The number of sergeants shall not exceed 
 four for each precinct, and one for each special squad ; and the 
 number of patrolmen shall not exceed the present number now 
 doing duty in said city, unless the common council of the City 
 of Brooklyn, shall, by resolution, authorize a greater number, 
 in which case they shall not exceed the number fixed in such 
 resolutions ; and such resolutions may be passed by the Com- 
 mon Council from time to time as that body may deem expe- 
 dient. The Commissioners shall fill all vacancies in the police 
 force as often as thej occur. 
 
 § 6. The said Board shall have power to pass such rules, re- 
 gulations and orders for the government of the police force as 
 they may deem proper. They shall promulgate all regulations 
 and orders to the force through the chief of police, who shall 
 have the direction and control of said fprce, subject to the rules, 
 regulations and orders of the Board; but in times of peril, dan- 
 ger, riot or disorder, or apprehension thereof, the chief of po- 
 lice and the police force shall be subordinate to the Mayor, 
 and obey his orders and directions tor the time being, any 
 thing in this act contained to the contrary notwithstanding. 
 
 § 7. One of the said Commissioners shall be designated by 
 the said Board as its president, who shall preside at the meet- 
 ings of the Board, and in case of the absence or disability of 
 the chief of police, or vacancy in that office, shall possess all the 
 powers and perform all the duties thereof, for the time being, 
 
264 
 
 and the other Commissioner shall be the treasurer. The treas- 
 urer shall execute a bond to the City of Brooklyn, with one or 
 more sureties, in a penalty of twenty thousand dollars, condi- 
 tioned for the faithful discharge of his duties as such treasurer. 
 The sureties shall justify before a Justice of the Supreme Court, 
 and the bond shall be approved by the Mayor. 
 
 § 8. There shall be appointed by the Board a chief clerk, a 
 deputy clerk, a treasurer's book-keeper, two surgeons, a drill 
 captain, two doormen for each station-house, a property clerk, 
 a stenographic clerk and a clerk to the chief of police. 
 
 § 9. All the property, station-houses and effects within the 
 City of Brooklyn belonging to or used by the metropolitan po- 
 lice shall, upon the passage of this act, vest in the City of 
 Brooklyn, for the use and pm'poses of the police department by 
 this act established ; and the said Commissioners are hereby 
 authorized and empowered immediately on entering upon the 
 duties of the office to take possession of the same for such use 
 and purposes, and to hold the same subject to the control and 
 superior title therein of the City of Brooklyn. The Common 
 Council shall provide such office and business accommodations 
 as shall be requsite for the transaction of the business of the 
 said Commissioners and its officers, and provide such new sta- 
 tion-houses and furniture therefor as may from time to time be 
 required, upon the recommendation of said Commissioners.

 other member of the department, shall, under any pretense 
 whatever, receive or share in any present, gift, fee or emolu- 
 ment for services as a member of the police, additional to his 
 regular salary or compensation. 
 
 § 11. The salai'ies and compensation of the members of the 
 department shall be paid monthly by the ti'easurer, who shall 
 
265 
 
 draw foe the amount necessary to meet the same upon the

 and paid to said treasurer, to meet such drafts, from time to time.

 Council and Supervisors of the City of Brooklyn shall fix and

 § 1. Whenever any action or proceeding shall be com- 
 menced, or be pending in the City Court of Brooklyn, or be- 
 fore any judge thereof, in which all of the judges of said court

 which two of the judges of said court shall be incompetent to 
 sit or act for any of the reasons mentioned in the last preced- 
 ing section, or because the appeal is fi-om a decision made by

The following sectioDS were exacted May 5tli, 1870, by the 
 Legislature, and is now the charter under which the Water 
 Board conduct their operations : 
 
 Section 1. The length of the terms of office of the several 
 persons appointed to act as Water and Sewerage Commission- 
 ers of the City of Brooklyn, under and pursuant to the act 
 passed the second day of April, eighteen hundred and sixty- 
 nine, entitled "An act to recognize the Board of Water and 
 Sewerage Commissioners, and to provide for the repaying, re- 
 pairing and cleaning the streets of said city, by said Board," is 
 hereby fixed so that the terms of the two of such appointees ex- 
 piring in the years eighteen hundred and seventy-nine, and 
 eighteen hundred and seventy-seven, according to such act, 
 shall both expire on the first Monday of July, eighteen hundred 
 and seventy-four. The term of the appointee expiring in 
 eighteen hundred and seventy-three, shall expire on the first 
 Monday of July in the said year ; and the term of the ap- 
 pointee expiring in the year eighteen hundred and seventy-five, 
 shall, upon the passage of this act cease and determine. From 
 and after the passage of this act, the said Board shall consist of 
 three members only. On the first Monday of June, in the 
 years on which the terms of office of said Commissioners shall 
 expire, the Mayor shall nominate a suitable person as one of 
 the said Commissioners to the Board of Aldermen of said city, 
 who shall confirm or reject the same, and similar nomination 
 and action shall be had by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen 
 as often as may be necessary, until an appointment shall be 
 made. From and after the expiration of the terms as aforesaid, 
 the person or persons appointed as hereinbefore provided, shall 
 hold their terms for five years from the first Monday of July 
 thereafter, and until their successors, as herein provided, shall 
 be appointed and duly qualified. All vacancies occurring in 
 the said Boai'd by death, resignation, removal from the city or 
 removal from office, shall be filled by the Mayor and Board of 
 Aldermen in the manner aforesaid for the unexpired term so 
 vacated. 
 
 § 2. The sixth section of the said act is hereby amended so 
 as to read as follows: 
 
281 
 
 § 6. The said board shall have exclusive power within said 
 city to cause streets to be repaired, and crosswalks to be relaid, 
 and the expense thereof shall be a general city charge ; but in 
 no one year shall such expense exceed the amount appropriated 
 for that purpose by the Joint Board of City Supervisors and 
 Common Council of the said city. The said Board of Commis- 
 sioners shall also have exclusive power within said city to 
 cause streets to be regraded and repaved ; but with no other 
 kind of pavement than that existing thereon at the time the 
 same shall be proposed to be repaved, unless upon the applica- 
 tion in writing of a majority of the owners of the land front- 
 ing on the street or part of the street so proposed to be repaved, 
 asking for another and different kind of pavement, and specify- 
 ing the particular kind of pavement the petitioners desire, or 
 expressly submitting the same to the judgment of the Commis- 
 sioners, and upon such application only the said Board of Com- 
 missioners may proceed and cause such different kind of pave- 
 ment to be laid. In all cases of repavement the said board shall 
 proceed according to the provisions of this act. 
 
 § 3. Whenever the said Commissioners shall deem it neces- 
 sary to alter or change the plan of drainage and sewerage in 
 any district where the same has been established as the perma- 
 nent plan of sewerage in such district, it shall be lawful tor the 
 said Commissioners to prepare a plan of such proposed altera- 
 tion and change, and proceed in relation thereto in the same 
 manner as provided by law for the establishment of the origi- 
 nal plan, and, when established, file copies of such altered plan 
 in the office of the Street Commissioner of said city, and in the 
 office of the Register of the County of Kings, and thereupon 
 such alteration shall be established as a part of the permanent 
 plan of sewerage of the city. 
 
 § 4. The said Board of Commissioners shall have power to 
 cause Vanderbilt avenue, as recently widened between Atlantic 
 avenue and Prospect Park, to be repaved ; and also to cause 
 Atlantic avenue, between Flatbush avenue and Classon avenue, 
 to be repaved, and the provisions of the said act as hereby 
 amended shall apply to such repavements. The Board of 
 Assessors of the City of Brooklyn may determine what, if any 
 portion of the expense of the repaving of Atlantic avenue^ as 
 aforesaid, shall be borne by the city at large ; and in case any 
 portion of such expense shall be thus assumed by the city, the 
 balance of such expense shall be assessed as in and by the said 
 act as hereby amended is provided for the assessment of the 
 expense of repaving streets ; any amount assumed by the city, 
 as aforesaid, shall be levied and collected in the next annual 
 taxes of the said city. 
 
 § 5. It shall be the duty of the said Commissioners to prepare 
 
 36 
 
282 
 
 and submit to the Common Council of said city, at as early a 
 day as practicable, a plan for furnishing an increased supply of 
 water for said city, including such extension of the present 
 works, and the construction of such further reservoirs, conduits, 
 and other structures, as may be necessary for that purpose, 
 together with an estimate of the probable expense thereof. The 
 said Common Council shall examine such plans and estimates, 
 and shall determine what may be most expedient for the object 
 aforesaid to be done, and may adopt such plan, or any portion 
 thereof as it may deem proper. And thereupon the said Com- 
 missioners shall proceed to carry such determination into effect, 
 as provided by this act. They shall acquire in the name of the 
 said city the title to such lands, ponds and streams as may be 
 necessary, but before any purchase shall be made thereof by 
 them, they shall report the terms and conditions to the said 
 Common Council and obtain its approval thereof. Upon the 
 approval by said Common Council of the before mentioned 
 provisions, the said Commissioners shall cause said work to be 
 done, and shall employ proper persons to inspect the same. 
 
 § 6. The provisions of the act to incorporate the Nassau 
 Water Company, passed April twenty-fifth, eighteen hundred 
 and fifty^-five, and of the act to provide for the supply of the 
 City of Brooklyn with water, passed April sixteenth, eighteen 
 hundred and fifty-nine, for the acqumng of lands, ponds and 
 streams by purchase or otherwise; for ascertaining the com- 
 pensation to owners and occupiers of land or water, which may 
 be taken or used, and the payment thereof; for the issuing of 
 the bonds of said city for the payment of the expenses authori- 
 zed by this act ; for the levying by tax on the taxable property 
 in said city, the amounts necessary to pay such bonds and the 
 interest thereon as it shall become due ; for the sale of such 
 bonds, and for the pledge of the property of the said city for 
 the payment of such bonds, are hereby adopted as a part of this 
 act, so far as they can be made applicable to the purposes 
 hereof. 
 
 § 7. The said Commissioners are hereby authorized to repave 
 Lafayette avenue, between Flatbush avenue and Bedford ave- 
 nue in said city, with such pavement as a plurality of the pro- 
 perty owners may petition for. 
 
 § 8. The said board may appoint a secretary who shall per- 
 form all the duties, and be possessed of all the powers of the 
 present secretary of said board, save and except his vote as a 
 Commissioner of said board, and shall fix his pay and compen- 
 sation. He shall give bonds for the faithful performance of his 
 duties as such officer in the same amount and manner as pre- 
 scribed by law for the Commissioners now in office. 
 
 § 9. This act shall take effect immediately. 
 
263 
 
 The annual report of the Commissioners presents an elabor- 
 ate detail of the receipts, disbursements, and operations of the 
 Board during the last year. The following extracts are deem- 
 ed sufficient for general reference : 
 
 RECEIPTS. 
 
 Regular rates $387,427.14 
 
 Extra 173,019.97 
 
 Water permits, less paid tappers 4,205.10 
 
 Defaults • • • • 18,095.04 
 
 1582,747.25 
 Less difference in advertising account 19.20 
 
 Net receipts $582,656.05 
 
 Being a decrease of receipts compared with the report of Jan- 
 uary 1st, 1869, of $35,330 27. This decrease is accounted for 
 in the fact that during the year 1868 the revenue was swelled 
 by the payment of arrearages which followed advertisements of 
 sales, and the receipts from sales for water rents for the years 
 1859, 1860, 1861, 1862 and 1863. The increase of revenue for the 
 year 1868, over that of the preceding year, 1867, was about 
 eighty-nine thousand dollars, ($89,000 00.) This was largely 
 in excess, fifty thousand ($50,000) or more over and above the 
 natural and legitimate increase. By comparing with the Sched- 
 ule of previous years, it will be seen that the receipts are 
 steadily increasing, and, in our opinion, might be augmented in 
 no slight degree by a thorough and systematic survey of the 
 whole City, so as to embrace every new building, and all and 
 everything subject to an extra or special rate. 
 
 PAVING. 
 
 The public mind has been much exercised on this question 
 of paving, and the various plans proposed have all received 
 careful attention and investigation, but their great number, and 
 the slight difference observable in many of them has prevented 
 the only satisfactory test of theii' relative merits, viz.: a practi- 
 cal trial on the street. 
 
 A few of the most prominent and best recommended plans 
 have been put into execution in all cases where it was possible, 
 in accordance with the wishes of the majority of the property 
 holders, but sufficient time has not elapsed to justify the ex- 
 pression of an opinion as to their respective merits in this local- 
 ity. 
 
 For the plan of wood-pavement which we have put down, 
 we have the large experience of other cities in favor of its use- 
 
284 
 
 fulness, and neither the work nor the materials are secondary 
 to any with which we are acquainted. 
 
 All the concrete pavements, as will be seen in the Schedule, 
 are for short distances, avowedly as an experiment, in all cases 
 at the expense of the patentee, with the exception of the 
 Scrimshaw, which was so highly recommended by the results 
 as shown in nearly two years' service in Prospect Park, that 
 we could not call it an experiment, and thus far it has proved 
 highly satisfactory to the traveling public — as well as to the 
 property owners. Brooklyn has heretofore been regarded as 
 one of the worst paved cities of the Union. We have every 
 reason to believe that the extension of the principle on which 
 we have acted, viz.: first to provide for improved f)avements 
 upon the main thoroughfares from Fulton, Wall, South and 
 Hamilton ferries, and secondly, the main connections between 
 these lines, will if extended to the other leading ferries, result 
 in an improvement second in interest to no other tending to 
 the prosperity of the city. 
 
 Total length paved this season 12i miles, viz.: of Nicolson, 
 4 if u miles; Miller, Ii^tt; Scrimshaw, li^o^o; Belgian, liVo; Im- 
 proved Belgian, iVo ; and Cobble Stone, 4i§o miles. 
 
 THE CLEANING AND KEPAIBING OF STREETS. 
 
 Under the law reorganizing the Board, passed last year, the 
 power over cleaning and repairing of the streets of the city 
 was vested in our body. The amount appropriated for these 
 purposes was the same as in former years, and is believed to be 
 exceedingly moderate. In the prosecution of our ordinary 
 business, the necessity for breaking the surface of the streets 
 occurs so frequently that it seems desirable that entire respon- 
 sibility for the condition of the streets should be in this Board. 
 In the department of repairs the utmost economy has been ex- 
 ercised, and under the direction of the Board, a list of the loca- 
 tion and cost of each repair made has been published monthly 
 in the local journals. No complaint that the cost has not been 
 reasonable has reached us. Very much has been done, and 
 what has been done was done promptly. It seems to be con- 
 ceded that the streets of the city are in better condition to-day 
 than they have ever been, and with the same amount of atten- 
 tion given to this depai'tment for a few years, the streets of the 
 entire city can be placed in good condition. 
 
 The reasons which were urged in giving the repah'ing of the 
 streets of the city to this Board are equally applicable to street 
 cleaning. The system of giving out the contracts for street 
 cleaning by wards has been adhered to, but it is questionable 
 if greater efficiency and more direct accountability could not be 
 
265 
 
 secured by dividing the city into convenient districts and let- 
 ting the contracts in that way. Under the old plan and with a 
 vigilant inspectorship a satisfactory efficiency seems however to 
 have been reached. A complaint-book has been placed on file 
 in our office, and through this, grievances and inattention com- 
 plained of by citizens ai'e remedied daily. It is probable the 
 streets ai'e not in as cleanly a condition at all times as the more 
 public-spirited class of our people desire that they should be ; 
 but it is reasonably certain there is an improvement within the 
 past year in this regard, and it can be confidently asserted 
 that no efibrt has been spared by the two inspectors employ- 
 ed, to see that the city received a dollar's worth of work for 
 every dollar expended.
