Mr. POwers's statements show HIM TO be badly
informed on Park matters and i do not attach
much Importance to them Ii he will examine the
fact he will not find himself sustained III his at
tacks on me. Indeed am inclined TO attribute IL
to a recent attack of bilousness which
kept him away from our last meeting am sorry
If lie thinks himself i'll treated but ain quite
that he full share Of influence in the depart
lnent as any member OF the Park Board"
do you understand why he should move vote

II do not, but l am ready to meet IL and
shall ask for an investigation of any
charge that he may bring. have called a meeting
OF the Board for next Monday instead of Wednes
day. ia order that Mr. Powers may have Immediate
opportunity TO make such charges as he pleases.
so far the economy of my administration is con-
cerned, i challenge comparison with any Of
my predecessors. The present Board has reduced
expenses IN salaries alone during the present year
over $4,000. and its work everywhere in the parks
has been OF substantial character"
MI Powers says that the expenses for the
recent work at Riverside Park have exceeded the
appropriations"
:" The building of the tomb for General
Grant was an expense not of
course anticipated by the Department.
but the Park Board has the means to pay for it.
At Mondays meeting measures will be taken to
ask the Committee on Appropriations for the neces-
sary transfers TO meet these expenses. think
may say II the work at Riverside had depended on
Mr. Powers IL never would have been ready In time
My own acts as president of the Board have abund-
ant authority to sustain them In every detail"
