APOLOGY TO THE NEWSPAPERS
The rest OF the session Of the Board was con-
sumed IN discussion OF the charges published by
one Of the papers against the management OF the
department. The total amount of money paid In
salaries in 1871 rs stated by Mr. Casserly from the
books, had been SAP 600; In 1872, $3.50, GEO.
Mr.. Nicholson denied ever having said that the
Board spent for liquors and refreshments $4,000
annually. His real statement had been that they
cost $1,000 annually. He said that none Of the
Board received salaries, and instead of the
Broadway Bank being their creditor, 1t was their
debtor. They had applied to the Emgrant Bank
for u mortgage OF only $1OO, 900.
Mr. Casserly stated that the net expenditures for
the last three years were $l,620000, on increase
of 500 900 for that period. He denied that railroad
tickets were sold at ten per cent advance in Castle
Garden He knew Of no overcharge OF Is per cent
on the baggage Of emigrants. More was paid for
gold there than in Wall street.
In concluding the business OF the day the Board
in anything but In satrica spirit it is presumed
voted the modest sum OF 500 for the expense OF
altering stairway in one Of the buildings on
Wards Island.
The Board then adjourned.
