MAYOR md CONTROLLER IN CONFLICT

THEY DO NOT AGREE As TO WHO SHOULD
PRESS CLAIMS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.
The Mayor and Controller have found a new cause
Of difference in regard to the process to be adopted
for collecting the cly's claims against the General
Government for money advanced In the cause OF
the Union in 1861. The total claim with interest, Is
SO 200 $50 70, although the original amount advanced
to the Union Defence Fund was only s595,570 o.
Acting under resolution Of the Board Of Aldermen
adopted April g. 1890, which called upon the Con-
troller 10 bring this "long neglected claim &c the
attention OF the Government Mr.. Myers made In
FEBRUARY a contract with eX-COngressman John j.
Adams agreeing to pay him a contingent fee OF IL
per cent for collecting the same, to be paid out OF
the money recovered. on March "a last the Alder
men amended their resolution Of April, 1890. intend
ing to transfer the from the Controllers hands
to those OF the Corporation Counsel. When Controller
Myers heard OF this resolution lie wrote 10 Mayor
Grant ION March 25l saying that he had already
taken action under the resolution Of the Aldermen
Of last year, and had made the contract with ex-
Congressman Adams alluded to. The Controller IN
sisted that his contract with Mr. Adams legal
and could not be ubrogated By any subsequent action
OF the Aldermen.
The Mayor replied that he had already approved
the resolution of March "a. lie insists that the Cor
poratlon Counsel alone Is authorized to collect the
claim, and that the Controllers contract with Mr.
Adams Is void The Mayor said yesterday that he re-
Corded the Controllers assumption Of authority In the
matter as not only Illegal but the contract for the col
lection of the claim as outrageous and unwarrantaOe'
The Controller, on the other hand, is equally pos
tive that he is right and that Mr. Adams Is now the
only authorized agent Of the city, lie said that he
had found that It was necessary 70 have represent
alive I'm Washington TO press the claim; that ne
had communicated with General Spnola and other
congressman, who had informed him that all the
States paid agents commissions In such cases, and that
II was the best course for the city to pursue. The
Controller added that the United States pays no
interest on claims Of this character, the original sum,
1895 $40 o. Is all that Mr.. Adams can expect to
recover his commission II more money should
be collected then Mr.. Adamss rate of percentage viii
be reduced, as in event can he get more than
