THE BROOKLYN FINANCE DEPARTMENT
MIDDLE,

Testimony OF Ex.Mayor Kalbneisch-
Ex-Comptroller Johnson's Accounts.
The Finance Committee Of the Brooklyn Common
Council, Mcssrs. Raber, Nolan, Boggs and Ropes,
met last evening In the Aldermanic Chambers, for
the purpose Of investigating the accounts OF ex-
Comptroller Evan NJ Johnson, whose books,
1t is alleged by Comptroller Schroeder,
are $4,000 behind In the accounts Of
sales OF sewerage and assessment bonds
in the years 1sss-7o. Ex-Mayor Martin Kalbneisch
was sworn and testified that he upon certain oc-
cason in 1870 asked Mr. Johnson to sell him $50, 900
worth OF assessment bonds, which were then sell
ing at OK per cent. He offered to give par for
them. Mr. Johnson refused to let him have
the bonds, but subsequently sold them for
97lS-two and half per cent less than witness
ofiered for them Mr. Kalbneisch could assign no
reason why Mr. Johnson wouldn't let him have
them. When asked II he had anything further to
communicate before the Common Council Com
mittee, the ex-Mayor replied that his communica-
ton to the Aldermen last year contained his views
upon the subject.
The committee then closed the examination or
witnesses and declared their intention OF reporting
the result OF their investigations to the Board
Mr.. Johnson offered to return $4,000, which he re-
ceived from the city through clerical error.
The counsel for Mr.. johnson, ex-Jndge REYNOLDS,
the eP a s az the to
previous meeting OF the committee.
The reason why the credits OF money received
from bonds sold do not correspond In dates with
the times OF sale arises from three causes -
Frst-Tbc custom of the bookkecper was to enter all
the sales Of different period In one entry
have to make Immediate payments and the MONEY would
not be called Tor for tme and would not draw IL
and deposit II In the treasury until required.

could not always do this when the money wanted,
and had 10 money obtained rom assessment bonds
which could sell a. The marketPrce when able io
