Mayor Wood’s New York Plan For Forts Piers Taxes And Docks
The New York mayor’s annual message calls for a fortified Long Island defense system, stone piers for commerce, a sanitary police, street washing with salt water, and private owners controlling some street work. He seeks tax reform, Croton water protection, and detailed city budget items including alms house and police costs. Washington gossip notes Mississippi Governor McRae’s second term stance on education internal improvements morality and non intervention on slavery, with segregation of union sentiment. An Herald Washington correspondent reports on Russian vessel matters from the State Department.
