BRIDGE METHODS CONDEMNED.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF ACCOUNTS
on THEIR INVESTIGATION OF 7. II.
TEERY'S CASE

Tho Commissioners OF Accounts report upon
their Investigation Of the OF Thomas ii. Terry.
collector of brooklyn Bridge rents. and the bust
nc,s methods Of the trustees, was sent to the
Mayor Yesterday Tho report severely criticses the
want OF system manifested both by Mr.. Terry and
IN. trustees The Commissioners write that they
'nnd themselves compelled absolutely to condemn
the method Of collecting rents The blind conf
dence which seems to characterize the relation OF
the Erldce Trurtees and Thomas II. Terry who
collected these rents is not such as 10 conGuce
10 a proncr administration % public affairs. The
Bride officials have not now In their Office any
Information from which they can reliably ascer-
for rent The ony Information that the data they
hay. can Civ. tn m IL the amount OF money which
Mr. Terry turns over TO them. but not the amount
OF money which MT. Terry has collected. The
rents IL 5000 year anu MI IefFy :
that Nr Terry has no regular time for turning
over TIE money collected. and that the accounts
% the trustees might show that the lessees were
SIX months IN arrears with their rent when they
really owed nothing by this means the trustees
lose the interest on the money
The recommendation Is made that hereafter n
clerk under bonds be assigned 10 the work OF col
.ecting rents end that the system Of tolls on the
carrlaS.- way changed that tickets sold at
one end OF the bridge can be collected at the
other.
Yesterday Commissioner Owens discovered an error
In Terry's accounts ~ $3.50 which he owes the
Bridge over and above the sum he reported. Mr.
Terry was Informed and he promised 10 make the
good to-day.
