UNBANKABLE PAPER.
City Road Fund Warrants Not Good 1t
the BAnks.

the Banks.
Yesterday was the regular monthly pay
day of the city's employees and over 5000
OF road fund warrants werc distributed
among the army of laborers working on
street Improvements alone. As . conse-
quence run upon the banks with this
paper Immediately followed. At first few
OF the banks took up . small quantity Of
the paper at . per cent. discount. but
later the scrip came in so fast that the
cashiers Of the various banks refused to
take IL up Mt any price.
The laborers are paid only once o month
and some of them are sorely in need Of
their pay. As result Of the action Of the
banks il was rumored that the laborers had
refused TO return to work and many of
them had gone elsewhere to look for work
A Posr.iSrxIfIsEscER reporter saw
Street Commissioner Alexander yesterday
and interviewed him on the subject He
said: 1T Is true that the city banks have
refused 10 take up the scrip but the matter
has been satisfactorily explained to the
laborers and none of them have quit work
or have expressed any intentions of doing
So. 1t is quite natural that they should
want their pay. and / don't blame them
for il. Some OF them are very much in
need OF it,.
Councilman Durie was also seen and
questioned as to what step the city had
taken for the benefit of the laborers He
said. Il think the banks viii probably
take up the warrants on Monday or Tues
day. They have sent to the city treasurer
Tor statement OF the eity's funds. The fact
of the matter Is they don't want 10 take up
scrip in excess ofthe amount of Indebtedness
the city Is allowed to assume, which is
$4,000. think the matter viii be settled
satisfactorily in few days"

pointed commissioner Of public works. He
denied that he ever told any one that II IL
had not besn tor Croker he (GrantD would
have taken his share of the Broadway road
DOODLE. He knew nothing about the $780,
600 McCann had spoken of. He had never
been candidate for commissioner OF pub
lie works. and had never contributed to. or
had any knowledge of, any fund to secure
any ones appointment to that Office.
When questioned BY Choste - TO his 70
lations to the Croker family, the mayor
said he had been very intimate with them.
He was godfather TO Croker's child Flossie.
When he assumed that responsibility he
had no nearer relative than cousins and no
obligations. and be determined TO make
some provision for the child. On one occa-
sion he had given her IS 900. and subse-
quent.y the same amount He never gave
her any other present except such A. he
gave other children on holidays. The
money was given the child in the presence
of the father and mother. and the child
handed the money to her mother. The
presents were free and without any under
standing or agreement or consideration.
Mr.. Birdman took up the questioning.
The mayor repeated that he was never n
candidate for commissioner Of public
works.
"You did not go SO far as to secure coun-
sci TO aid your appointmentsf"
Secure counself No. sir"
did you not retain Col. Biissf"
oh. at the suggestion of Mr.. Kelly re-
tanned him 10 have an injunction dissolved
that restrained the board Of aldermen act
ing Upon the appointment of commissioner
OF public works"
Mr.. Grant further stated that he had no
personal knowledge of what was done with
Fiossie's Money. He did not know IL had
been used to pay of = mortgage.
Senator Fassett questioned the mayor
about his candidacy for the mayoraity,
and was told that he was not assessed by
Tammany hall He contributed about
81. $50, and this was to the printing fund
for local offices.
Fassest questioned the mayor about bis
letter TO the president OF the Senate.
Chcate objected. when il was urgei that
the letter had been referred 10 the COM
mittee.
Cochran, on behalf of the mayor. here
said he would withdraw any intimation
that the committee or its counsel had been
q party to . conspiracy against the mayors
characses. There had been such con-
spiracy. but he would entirely exonerate
the committee.
In reply 20 final question. the mayer
said be had never influenced or sought TO
influence the park commissioners TO refuse
10 review Mccann's case.
Ex-Assistsnt District Attorney Nicoll
said that throughout his extensive iavesti-

men IN 1854. he had never heard anything
about Grant being . candidate for COM

nasges which he did not care 10 put for

conversation with Grant about his con-
nec'aon with the Broadway railroad brib-
cry In 1885.
Mayer Grant here arose aud said he
santed MsMann 10 withhold nothing he

In view OF these Improvements already made,
and others well under way. the property ow pers
charge the unto with bad faith toward this city,
and seem TO feel that for some reason the COM
panies repre- sented in the union are trying 10 get
even for their Losses Of last June. rather than
trying 10 establish rates upon Just and equit-
able basis, warranted by tho present conditions.
The only relief granted by the rates in few In
stances is made imperative by the clause:
'fhe provisions OF this circular do not apply to
policies now In existence"
The people Of this city ere from oil parts OF
the United States, and they compare the rates
with those Of othoR places under similar condi-
tiona They do not understand why. at this
particular time, when the conditions are con-
stantiy improving, 50 large percentage should
be added TO their rate. There have been no Or s
since that OF june last which have not been sue
cessfully handled By the Gre department. and
the only fires occurring have been among risks
recognized by oil comp anies as extra hazardous.
We believe the losses for the year now nearly
drawing 70 close. since the great fire, viii not
average Is per cent, and the tents and frame
shacks I'm which these fires occurred will soon
disappear
With such . record IL seems 10 us unwise to
unnecessarily irritste and harrass the property

popular ut their best, and IL makes our task
very onerous one in view OF the facts above
stated
