XIII THIS C0ryrY DEMOCRACY Bill

MIL THIS GUAM DEHOt HhtI pm
Controller Mycr>'s bill authorizing him to
spend S37. 800 on indcXing the taxes and as
,c,,mcntS has slipped through the Senate, and
a strong lobby of County Democrats is urging
~, passage in the Assembly. At an earlier
period Of the session, when such bills are sub
cctcd 10 careful scrutiny, this would be out
Of the question; hat the closing hours of the
legislature are always selected for advancing
measure, Of this doubtful character OF course.
no one AT all acquainted with the subject be
lcycs that the work can be done for any such
sum.
How little tho Controller knows about the
task. which he is 50 ready to undertake at the
city's expense, is shown by the assertion made
by his representative, before the Senate Com
mittce on Cities that the estimate of thc cN-
pcn>c was made on the theory that there were
about ZIG. 600 lots in the city Of New York
ANY Schooboy can calculate, however, that,
taking SiXty-fOur lots aS the average Of one
block, there are between First and One-hun-
drcd and-fftyiifth streets over 5000 lots.
As this certainly does not represent more than
onc-third Of the entire city, Inc S37.
asked for by the Controller would not on his
own showing, cover Onc-third of the cost. Such
an error does not speak well for the accuracy
Of the city'S chief financial officer Repub
Leans should hesitate long before they take
the responsibility Of putting this large amount
of the city'S money AZ the unrestricted dScre-
ton Of such Il fnancier TO be used chiefly to
advance the political interests of Controller
Myers and the County Democracy, and with
out any satisfactory assurance that much
larger sum will not be needed to complete the
