GOING FOR THE SHYLOCKS.

The Board of Finance Considers the
Question of Laborers' Assignments.
The Board of Finance held a common
place meeting this morning. In the
absence of President Edelstein Mr.. Allen
welded the gavel.
The project of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners for the repaving
of Bergen square was concurred in, but
five claims of the old Board of Works
were laid over for further consideration.
These were claims of Thomas H. Cope
land, for $150. 06; of Albert Datz, for S462;
of DR.. d. w. Diamond, for $50. %, and one
of William Hearn, for S165, for salt hay
furnished away back in 1885.
This latter claim brought out a resolu-
ton requesting all the city Boards to
audit claims as expeditiously as possible,
SO that the city al pay its claims
promptly. Thomas Noonan, who was
employed by the old Board of Finance
and Taxation to compile the ordinances,
was requested to turn in his work to the
new Board.
City Clerk Scott was requested to keep
his office open n evening a month, from
eight to nine O'Clock, for the payment of
the laborers on the street. The Board is
evidently going for the individuals who
derive q fat income from buying up at a
good discount claims of employees and
others against the city.
They adopted a resolution calling upon
the corporation counsel to inform them
whether the city is obliged to recognize
powers of attorney OF assignments of
claims against the city, and especially
such as transfer claims for services to be
rendered or work to be performed at the
filing of such papers.
The City Comptroller reported that the
receipts of the city during the past two
weeks was S215, sol. 20.
