It will be noted that quite a large percentage of the improvements have been made by private improvements, and the delays which have occurred in securing the necessary action of the contract, in some cases under the superintendence and inspection of this Department, while in Municipal Assembly on petitions which have been submitted. Yet the routine prescribed by the other cases, where the streets have not been opened and the work done was on private property, Charter does not seem so formidable ; it is, in fact, far less so than that provided by the old Brooklyn the Department has had no supervision of the work.
