NOT THE BOARDS BUSINESS.
Supervisor Fischer Insisted There
Was Crookedness in the Air.
Justice Gnynor Got Heated and
Plain Talk Resulted.

Supervisor Fischer. Of the Eighth
Fitchie, called on Justice iaynor, In the
Supreme Court, Brooklyn. this morning,
TO inquire Into the item OF ~, 400 for one
clerk and four assistants In the court.
which came up before the Board OF Fs-
innate yesterday.
Mr.. Fischer stated to Justice Gaynor
that the Item in the budget deserved in
vcs,igation. he thought. because instca 1
OF four assistants. the Chief Clerk OF the
supreme Count had only three assistan's.
Il wish to ask you. Justice Gaynor,"
said Mr.. Fischer. N you do not tank
there Is some crooked business here? !
wish to get at the bottom of II. as 4,
comes under the Board of Supervisors"
Justice G,ynor told Mr.. Fischer that
the peculiar thing he had discovered re.
lating to the Item In the county budget
WAS due to the fact that there was not a
sufficient number OF clerks in the courts
to do tle work, and that there was no
crooked business about II.
Two officers, Justice Gaynor said. had
beei' assigned to do clerical work. and
the money asked for the salary Of an
extra assistant was to be apportioned
between these offices by the judges OF
the Court.
Justice Gnynor told Mr.. Fischer that
1t was none OF the Board Of Supervi-
sors business 1t made no difference,
he said, whether the Court had one
clerk and fourteen officers, or fourteen
clerks and one officer. and when the
money was authorized to he paid In a
lump sum by the Board of Estimate.
the matter passed entirely out of their
hands and was at the disposal OF the
Supreme Court Justices.
Super visor Fischer reported the result
Of his interview to Supervisor-at-Large
Fitchie.
The matter will probably not be In
