MINIATURES FINANCES.
The City Economical at Present. b,tt in no
Sense BaMkrapt-A Joke Oss I'D. ShGssg!.-
Milwaukee Special.


The municipal financial muddle of this
city took new and important turn in con-
nection with the proceedings of the board
of alderman this afternoon. Under the
provisions of the charter the controller is
vested with almost autocratic power con-
cerning the expenditure of city fluids. By
the fusion victory of the trades assembly
and the Democrats the last spring mu-
nicipal election placed in the Office
of Controller Mr.. Smith, who had been a
prominent Socialist and Greenbacker. The
law forbids the Controller to countersign
any contract unless there is sufficient
money in the appropriate fund to meet
the expense to the city growing out Of
such contract. Under former administra-
tions it has been customary to make a
very liberal Interpretation of this provision
of the law, and to draw on other than zap
propriate'' funds at times when such drafts
seemed necessary to meet what. were re-
garded as the city's needs, as well as to
discount fuqure receipts for the same pur-
pose. The present controller, however.
decided, On entering upon the duties Of
his Office, to follow the precise and exact
letter Of the law. The result has been
that the aldermen and Board OF public
works have been brought up with a round
| turn in their efforts to carry On the city
| improvements, and in some instances in
their attempts to pay the current expenses
OF the city. This state of things has re-
suited in petty misunderstanding and in
widespread reports to the effect that the
city is bankrupt, etc. The fact is that in
general, and on the whole, the city is
abundantly able to meet all its obligations,
and in no proper sense of the term can it
be said to be bankrupt.
| At meeting of the Aldermen this af-
| ternoon message was received from the
mayor vetoing resolution lately passed
authorizing advertising for proposals to
furnish the city with hay and oats for the
horses of the various city departments:
the veto being based on the fact that the
comptroller would not countersign such
contracts, since there is not money enough
in the appropriate fund.- to meet the ex-
pense. On the same ground the mayor
vetoed resolution to increase the Fourth
ward fund $4,000. To cap the climax, a
resolution was introduced requesting
the committee on laws and legislation tc
draft and report an ordinance increasing
the pay of the comptroller from $4,000 tc
$4,000 per annum, the ground upon which
the resolution was based being the allega
ton that the present salary sis Eot suffi
cient to secure a first-class man for the po
sition." This reason is given by Aid
Shaughnessy, president Of the board, al
whose request the resolution was intro
duced. Not little sport is had at Mr.
; Shaughnessy's expense, growing out Of
the fact that, four years ago he was an
, earnest candidate before the Democratic
county convention for the Office of con
troller, and that he then considered him
self 'sa first-class man for the place.
without any reference to an increase O
salary.

Boston was the first objective point after
Long Branch. The Commission-that is,
about Quorun-tr travelled thither in & spe-
cial car. President Hayes was already
there. and Commissioner Oliver was in
Pittsburg. Three days were spent at the
Hub. and about the usual amount Of evi-
dence was taken. 4 contract for accom-
modation had been made with the Ven
dome Hotel. When the time for settling
the bill arrived ii was found, owing to the
vast quantity Of extras, to be more than
double the amount OF the contract. It was
paid. The commission has a peculiar but
perhaps not uncommon method of having
its bills made out. The voucher:

Everything can be charged to the rooms

Jumps the extras under several heads, and
the bills are paid without murmur, nay
with cheerful alacrity which only dis
tinguishes those who have the entire Unit
ed States treasury at their backs. and have

bill at Long Branch was one-third NOR
than would have been had a due regard t,
the proprieties even of official eXpenditur,
been paid.
A day was spent in New York again
Then the commission set out in earnest
taking with them two special cars, a con
ductor and steward, cook. two walters
and two servants, the retinue Of attaches
and about $4,000 worth of wines, liquors
mineral water, and cigars.
The first stopping place was Rochester
Here two seedsmen awaited their atten
ton. The session lasted a little over 81
hour. To hear those two seedsmen it cost
Special cars, 800; railroad tickets (eight
cen at about $S) $144; nine commission
ers at $50 per day, $50; one clerk at S
and four clerks and messenger at S5, $31

total, exclusive of contingencies, $415.
But this is not all. One or two of tn
commissioners had friends to see in towr
There was ample time to couple the spe
cial cars to the ordinary train. But tn
