GREEN RAMPANT AGAIN.

sPITE-MAYoR wIcKHAMs VIEWS.
The question as 10 when the hremen win get
uaelr salaries Is yet an open one. as up TO late
hour yesterday afternoon tue warrants sent back
10 the Comptroller by the Mayor on, Tuesday had
mot been returned In proper FORM TO MS once.
the whole cllnculty between the Mayor ana the
Comptroller rs TO the way warrants should be
made out has already been alluded 10 az length in
the HERALD as far back January, when the
Comptrolber nrst began to Try to make Mr.. Wick
ham a sort OF registering cerk for his own con-
venience as he mad made poor Mr.. Hayemeyer.
HIS warrant policy OF q twoiold character.
In the arst place Mr. Green insisted upon sending
TIE WARRANTS TO TUE MAYOR,
with the day and date and name o. the register
lett out The Mayor insisted that this should not
be and although the Comptroller nnany gave way
70 him in January ne mas several times since
broken the agreement come TO a. that time, and
of course each time brought about a strife
which lasted for four or Ave days, during which
some Of the employees OF the city government IN
variaoly had to suffer. The other point insisted
upon by Mr. Green was that the Mayor should
sign every individual warrant. The latest quarrel
over this business was brought about by the Mayor
very properly on Tuesday refusing TO sign 1000
warrants fer the pay OF the nremen, made
payable TO the order OF the 'pAymaster' in Mr..
Green's ONCE, who Is clerk subject TO the Comp
troller's exclusive control.
