Clerks, Inspectors and Polling
Place Landlords.

There is a general complaint on the
part of those who leased their property

the late election that they have not
received compensation for the same, al
though six weeks rave elapsed since
the property was utilized.
The poll clerks. inspectors n land
lords Of polling places are grieved over
what they term a useless delay in
obtaining from Tammany Hall what IL
due them.
The unusual delay was attributed TO
the .cglect OF the Bureau Of Elections
and the Police Commissioners. but this
is denied by the latter In strong terms.
They gladly lay the blame on ComptrOl-
Ter Myers's shoulders, appeal
pleased to thus shift the responsibility.

Elections. who knows the workings of
that Department in all its details,
said this morning that the election
bills had been made out weeks ago, and
that Gen. Rodebough, the Chief OF the
Bureau, had signed and turned them
ove- to the Police Board to be audited.
There the responsibility of the Bureau
ceased. He said. however, that he was
speaking with a paymaSter In the city
government this morning and he was
informed that Comptroller Myers mao
not sent them down from his office
yet.
Chief Clerk Kip, of the Police Board,
exhibited a letter on file which demon
strated that the Board had audited the
election bills at a meeting held Friday,
Dec. 8. They were then forwarded to
the Comptroller.
The official stamp Of the Comptroller's
office on the back of the payroll shows
that the document was received there
Dec. II, instead of Dec. 8.
Auditor Lyon, of the Finance Depart
Hoard of Education was in ahead, and
in the course of the regular order was
disposed Of first.
He began auditing the election pay,
rolls Friday. and as the accounts OF
l,l42 polling places had to be verified, 4
would take some time to finish thu
