More Figures and More Frauds.

The New York Times on Monday OF
last week, presents a new batch of figures
with new evidence of fraud These ac-
counts, which the Mayor sent to the SUI
pervisors, and are limited to the first six
months Of the year-a period not cover
ed by the former figures of the Times.
The rents for armories, for one quarter
ending May /, 1871, amount to S67 400.
The items are curious. 1t is shown that
rents are paid for armories and drill
room which cannot be found, for others
which are unoccupied, and for all on a
scale of stupendous fraud. The Times
gives these examples:
"On April 30, 1871, Ingersol 4 Wat
son received 81, $50 for one quarters rent
of the armory No. 50 Chrystie street.
There is no such place. Again, the ar
mories' at Nos. 10S and 10 West TWEEN
ty-fourth street, for which the city author
itics acknowledge that they pay rent at
the rate of $4,000 year-a nice little
rent-are not occupied. The rooms for
which this $4,000 a year is paid are
merely lofts over stable Charles
johnson and others received $4,000 for
one quarters rent of armories in Ninth
avenue, which we're also unoccupieds
This at the rate of $4,000 year, and
the place thus rented is a top loft over
stable. For two small rooms at II Uni
versity place, not occupied, $1,000 year
is paid. 'Paran' Stevens, lucky soul, is
down for $4,000, quarters rent for some
lofts over stables in Twenty-sixth street,
near Seventh avenue. This is at the rate
of $4,000 year, while the lofts are not
worth more than $4,000 a year at the
very highest estimate
There are others of the same sort.
Over a quarter of million dollars,
1925, 327,79, of fresh expenditures on the
Court House also appearin these accounts.
hVO arc given III bhO Sipoo NlIhouI any
items-as, for example, Allen & Stevens,
timber, S42,009,51, and j. Mob. David
son, safes, S27 ,200-itseif an evidence of
fraud. The New York Printing Com
pany-of which Mr.. Tweed is the fore
most man-gets s142,991.21 for three
months. The lucky plasterer, Andrew
j. Garvey, continues to make good
thing out Of the taxpayers, and G. |.
Miller was paid $4,000 last June for
work done in one armory. Advertising
the November election in the Ring pa
pers cost the taxpayers SS2,184,90.
The grand total of the figures embrace
ed in this exhibit is S5,157, 299,26, the
Times says the sheets show about $4,000
600 which it did not copy-making an
aggregate of more than S9,000,000 for
six months in the Cos5ty accounts alone
not figure of the City accounts hav-
ing yet been published. And this show
ing is made by the Mayor himself.
