Board Of Apportionment.

The Board or Apportonment met yesterday
afternoon In the Comptrollers rooms, Mayor Hall
presiding, and Messrs Green, Stebbins and Van
Mort being present.
The meeting was held In pursuance of call to
authorize the Comptroller to issue New York
County Court House bonds 10 the amount of
s250000, and a resolution covering such authorza-
ton was the first matter for consideration, the
resolution being Immediately connected with the
claim against the city by the Tenth National Bank.
Ex-Judge Edwards was before the Board to ex-
plain the present complexion of the litigation.
Mayor Hall and Mr. Green exchanged views on
the subject, the Mayor contendng that 1t was only
proper the bank should get standing in Court.
Tor IL one man thinks another owes him money 1t
Is not right that obstacles should be thrown in the
way OF arriving at a fair decision as to whether or
not the debt Is due. Mr.. Green did not, of course,
see the matter in that light. Mayor Hall continued
no unusual occurrence this having occurred in
old administrations within his memory-even loans
OF sums amounting to S2,000,00o The only ques-
tion, the Mayor thought, was as to the good faith
or otherwise Of the bank in loaning the money.
Mr.. GREEN moved that consideration OF the SUBJ
ject be indefinitely postponed. On vote being
taken the amenoment was iost-May0r Hall and
Mr.: Van Mort voting against, and Messrs. Green
and Stebbins in favor OF it.
The resolution was then put and negatived
unanimously, Mr.. GREEN saying, in voting, that he
considered the resolution as aiding those who were
litiganLs against the city, and Mayor HALL reply
ing tnat he did not consider the resolution as
affirmative aid to the city tigants, but that In his
right TO prove its claim II IL had claim.
resolution was adopted to the effect that the
sum OF slo,995 "a be appropriated from the con.
tlngencies OF the Comptrollers cice to the county
contingencies for the purpose OF paying the bills
for extending and copying the tax books for the
year 1872, Ms appears by the audit OF the Board of
Supervisors upon the report OF the Committee OF
Taxes and Finance, subject to the audit Of the
Department OF Finance.
resolution was also adopted, on motion OF
Mayor Hall, transferring 100000 from the appro-
priation OF extra contingencies OF the ComptrOers
Office to the appropriation OF advertising for the
Common Council and depar.ments,u In order to
pay the claims OF the Official newspapers during
the year 1872, subject TO the audit OF the Finance
Department.
resolution proposed by Mr.. Green, to rescind
and repeal all previous action OF the Board OF Ap-
porionmcnt relative to increasing the salaries Of
officers clerks and employees OF the city and county
governments the same to take effect from ana
after Decemby 81, 1872, was unanimously laid over.
Comptroller GREEN promised TO see that the sal
aries or the Judges OF the Courts OF Common Peas
and Superior Court would be paid promptly and
Mayor Hall did not, therefore. press a resolution
which included an appropriation of $4,000 to sc.
cure the Judges salaries.

Some OF the Bonds Traced to a BrOad-
way Broker-He Is Arraigned Before
Judge Bowling.
On the 14th of October last the Bank OF Water
ford Saratoga county, was robbed Of $500, 600 in
bonds and railroad securities and $1,000 in
money. The circumstances were fully detailed at
the time. Nine men, masked, made their way to
the apartments OF the cashier, tied and gagged the
whole family, and then compelled him, by threats Of
Instant death, to show them the combination lock
OF the bank sale Since then circulars have been
sent all over the country detailing the robbery and
the numbers OF the different bonds cautioning all
persons against negotiating the same.
Two weeks ago William e. Brandon, broker and
dealer in miscellaneous securities, 7Os Broadway
sold to Shlpsey ~ Matthew'S 52h BOwery, three
$500 fve-twenty bonds and received the market
value. Wednesday last Mr.. Brandon came to the
ofi1ce OF Shipsey Il Matthews and negotiated three
81 600 fvetWenty bonds, and was given cheek on
the Bulls Head Bank Soon alter he left the
place Mr. Shipsey, in examining the bonds he had
bought, found that the numbers corresponded
with those on the circulars issued by the Water
lord Bank alter the robbery OF October IA. The
three $500 bonds which he had previously pur-
chased, and which were lying in u drawer, were
also found to correspond with the numbers or
some OF the stolen bonds.
Mr.. Shipsey sent to the Bulls Head Bank to
have the check he had given Brandon stopped and
also notified the detective office OF his discovery.
Captain Irving at once despatched Detectives Rad
ford and Woodbridge to hunt up Brandon. He was
arrested al five O'Clock that afternoon, Just as he
was leaving his Office in Broadway. About three
O'Clock yesterday afternoon Brandon was ar
raigned before Judge Bowling at the iombs Police
Count and held Tor examination.
The President OF the bank, Mr.. william Scott,
and also the cashier, were telegraphed for by Su-
perintendent KelsO, and they slgnihed their inten
uOn In return message OF arriving in town last
evening. They will appear to-day at the Tombs to
make formal complaint against Brandon. The
prisoner Is well known In the Police Court, having
several times been arraigned similar charges OF
having stolen bonds in his possession, Of nego-
tiating them, but has never suffered any criminal
punishment. He Is young man, stylish-looking,
intelligent, suave of gentlemany manner and
familarly known among the sporting men Of the
city.

The joint special committee OF the Common
Council reported that the expenses for the Horace
Greeley obsequies were as folows:-$s5O to Ed
ward Van Ranst, $4s4 Al to George W. Roone, $l75
to Adolph lie Mouth. The accompanying resolu-
tion, directing the Comptroller to draw his war
rant for the above amounts was unanimously
adopted.
The introduction of a line Of stages including
Cortlandt street in the route was brought up by
Mr.. VANCE, IN connection with petition from
property-owners in that street. Mr.. Vance said
that there were persons in the city willing to
give $4,000 Tor the privilege OF running line of
stages that would include Cortland street in the
route, and he thought the city might as well gain
that amount as not
Mr.. CoNovER threw some light upon this matter
by showing that so far from the persons alluded
to by Mr.. Vance having any sincere wish to run
such line of stages as that proposed, the fact
was that they would be more inclined to pay
knew that one OF the gentlemen to whom Mr..
Vance referred was actually large shareholder in
the old Broadway and Second Street Stage Com
pany, now broken up. But that Old company still
possessed the franchise to run line OF stages i'm
COrtlandt street, even though their stages had
long ago ceased to run, and 1t was very unlikely
that one Of its largest shareholders would like to
see rival company.
The subject finally was referred to committee
to ascertain whether the Common Council had
now the power to sell the franchise for Cortlandt
street.

BOARD OF Assistant Aldermen.
The Board OF Assistant Aldermen met yesterday

Public Works to remove the sheds and stands on
vesey street was lost.
Considerable discussion was had upon resolu-
tion, moved by Mr.. GEIs instructng the Corpora
tion Counsel to proceed at once against the Ave-
nue. Railroad Company for non-payment OF
license fees. Mr. Gels said that the time for send
ing resolutions of this sort to committees has
passed. and he wanted the action OF the Board In
this case. The railroad company was compelled, from
Its charter to pay the city SIC, 900 year, and yet 1T
had never paid the city dollar. This had been
going on for several years, and it was now time
that the Board should institute proceedings
Mr. CONNOR opposed this course, as 1t was not
known what was the position Of the railroad COM
pany toward the Board. He was unwilling to think
that the officer whose business it was collect the
fees had not attended to his duties.
Mr. GELS replied that that officer had done all he
could to collect The money, but had failed.
Eventually the resolution was lost by vote OF 0

other man would get for one or two dollars.
Mr. GELS said that he did not think 1t was right
