Expenditures.

The Senate Committee Cities held . meeting this
afternoon to decide what to do with the bill which pro-
vdes that the power appoint all officers whose
expires after the election OF Mayor OF New York
shall be vested in the said Mayor The bill has been
mistakenly called extension OF Comptroller Green's
tcrm though in effect II Is he holds until tho
1st OF January 1877 when hts successor apponted by
tho new Mayor. takes his place.
The terms Of seven school commissioners expire at
the time with the Ccmptrollcr's, aud their sue
cessors appointed in the same manner. As Sena-
tors Jacobs and Baden absent the opponents OF
the bill-Senators Booth and Tobey-wcre In the mi
norty, and Senators woodin, Wagner and Morrissey
had It al their way, and voted reporting tho
bill 10 the Senate. The opposition, In lact had become
quite limp since last week, and Booth and Tobcy may
DO said TO have facility acquicsced in favor
OF reporting the bill II will have dnlcuy in pass
Ing the Senate but all tho elements Of opposition to
Greon tho Assembly will DO invoked TO dcioat IT,
1t said to be the original intention to extend the
Comptrolers term for Ave years, but this clearly
too impolitic course to adopt bill to make the
ofnco elective VIII be introduced In few days.
NEw YoRK's MONEY BAGS.
Despite the fact that the New York charter makes II
misdemeanor for any head OF department OF the city
TO exceed its annual Apr opratons many
ways have been found by which the law has been re-
pcatcdly set at defiance The Fish BILL ordered to
third reading to-day in the Assembly, II Is
believed will remedy the evil, but is
difficult to see how II can II the
ton OF the charter which is so strin
gent subject to removal from ONCE every on
who wfully violates any provision OF the act can
be evaded SO persistently as It has been. The bill
which l append In full, has been changed from its
original form, that the Dock Commissioners can
spend but $500 900 year. instead OF ST. o00 co., and
gives to the Board Of Apporonmcnt certain powers it
originally gave to the Comptroller The following is
