iht scows., There Is no man connected
an an employee with the city's tugboats
who does not say that this was an ex.
~travagant waste. Moreover. these en-
ployees claim that no such amount. nor
evrn half Of It, was ever spent for re-
pairs on tugboats and scows.
Here IL q little history which is highly
interesting:
In 1866 John F. Walsh, a shipwright.
established himself in business. When
his SON, John F. Walsh, IT., became OF
age, he took the young man into partner
ship, and the firm was known as John
r, Walsh & Co., with offices at $50 West
street, corne Of Clarkson.
In 1889 Walsh, ST., and Walsh. jr., had
built up a large business. and began
looking about for fat city contracts.
They had by this time a place OF busl-
ness at, 1ls and 1876 Charlton street. and
q dry dock pier at 81 East River.
Through some friend at Tammany
Hall court the Walshs secured one city
Job In 1889. making some repairs on the
city tug Dessert on Dec. Is. for which
they were paid s2l4.3l.
During the year 1890 John r. Walsh, jr.,
did repair work on the city tugs Dessert
and Municipal, and OF the fiat scows
owned by the Street Cleaning Depart
ment, amounting to Sl.G92.3 80.
In 1891 the Walsh bills paid by the
city for repairs OF scows and on the tug
boats Dessert M Municipal amounted
to- q, 5p8. 20.

boilers or engines had been made for the
year, that $4.441. 10 was actually expended
in the twelve months on the tugs Das-
sori and Municipal?
The bills for repairs on the fiat scows
owned by the Department also show
that John +. Walsh. r.. was paid S.U2G. 81
during 1893. in addition to the 81 ,7Gi.G3 for
tug repairs.
The officers and men on board the
tugs Dassori and Municipal are ready
to make affidavits that no such repairs
as stated In the bills of Walsh and
others. were even made on these tugs.
The most remarkable thins about this
tug business Is the fact that Commits,
sioner Andrews has now condemned
these two tugs. and aays they are unsen
worthy n cannot he used, and that 1t
will require $1,000 to put them In good
1t Is not unlikely that the Secretary
OF the Treasury Will make an investiga-
ton OF the case Of John +. Walsh. 81.
FNSho II appears has been doing something
contrary TO the rules of the Department.
