The Interest ON City Depo.t,..

Ex-Chamberlain Palmer writes letter to
The Aldermen denying a statement in the
Mayors message that he had received two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars year for
interest on the city deposits. He received
nothing, because Comptroller Green served
NOTICE on the banks forbidding them to pay
interest OF course Mr. Palmers bank, which
was the depositary bank benefited by not
paying interest; yet the fault, Mr.. Palmer
says, was with the Comptroller. The facts
are these:-The old law provided that the
banks of deposit should pay, in compensation
Tor the deposits, all the expenses Of the Cham
berlain's office. This gave the banks the ben
nothing The law was to blame. Ex-Cham-
berlain Devlin, however, made the banks pay
him four per cent interest," which he put into
his own pocket, realizing, it is said, over
a million dollars. When ex-Chamberlain
Sweeny went into Office he notified the
Mayor and Comptroller that he should
still require the depositary banks to pay him
-four per cent interest on the deposits, but
Ehat he should pay the amount into the city
treasury after deducting therefrom the
expenses of his Office. His successor, Mr..
Bradley did the same thing, and large sum
was thus paid into the treasury. Suddenly
the Comptroller refused to take the money
and notified the banks not to pay interest to
the Chamberlain, When Mr.. Palmer took the
Office of Chamberlain he offered to collect and
pay the interest as it had been before col
aected (; but Comptroller Green refused to
receive it, and insisted that theinterest should
be credited to the different funds and paid by
The banks as o matter of law. This bubble
prevented the interest being paid at oil, and
lost the city large sum Of money. The new
law requires payment of interest by the de-
positary banks. If the Comptroller was right
in his position then there can be no difficulty
in recovering the back interest from the de-
Positary banks by law. If he cannot do this
1t is proof that he was wrong and that his
captious action lost the money to the city
