The Mayor Of New York has begun. at last,
10 give some figures from the Controllers
books. That is, he gets Controller Connolly to
make out statement Of the city debt on the lst
instant, and he tries to throw a sop TO the tax
psyers by publishing very general summary Of
the money paid out OF the city treasury during
the month lust past But We do not think that
he will succeed in convincing any one, even Tor
a moment, that His Honor is fit person to rule
that city any longer. The figures show that all
the taxes which can be legally levied this year have
already been spent, and thAt the city indebted
ness has been increased by about sixteen millions
of doll.rs since the last of April This certainly
must be anything but assuring intelligence to
the taxpayers. The figures given, as far rs
they 20. do not materially differ from those
published by the Times, except that they are
mueh more general and contain no specifications
Of expense. New York special ssys L" The
csnsr., impression is that the reputation OF
Tammany has not been improved by the publ
cation. There is some alarm among savings
banks and other holders Of city bonds, growing
out of the report that there has been large
fraudulent issue snd that there are heavy
amounts due that do not appear on the books OF
the city treasurer One tnancier who has
watched city affairs closely says he believes there
has been an over-issue of several millions and
predicts run upon the savings banks holding
CITY bonds as securities. Public distrust in the
present city government il steadily increasing,
and the desire for a change grows rapid ly.
