DEAL STOPPED BY sCH.EREN.
Coffey's Scheme o Sell Property
Nipped in the Bud.
Brooklyn's Mayor Will Have WILL
lam Street Paved.

A real estate deal in connection
with the Twelfth Ward Park. Brook
Ign, by which Michael j. Coffey and
other politicians, 1t Is alleged, expected
to make a handsome profit, was prompt
ly knocked in the head by Mayor Schier-
en- this morning.
After the big scandal of last year. in
connection with the Twelfth Ward Park
purchase, by which Senator Cofrey and
p. H. Flynn made profit Of $4,000 from
the city, nobody supposed they would
again have the audacity to try to spring
a second chapter on taxpayers.
Every Bro3k.ynlte is familiar with the
old story Of the Twelfth Ward Park
While Senator Cbffey was Pres lent OF
the Aldermen. the Board authorized the
purchase of property for the PARK: II
it was learned that the origina. purch1
price was $4,000. 1t was transferred to
p. II. Flynn and then T. his sister, under
her married name and SIX weeks AFTER
the origina: purchase, sold to the city at
a profit Of $4,000.
Some time ago the Aldermen passed a
resolution to have William street paved
another resolution passed, resembling all
other resolutions relating to the paving
of William street.
An investigation then revealed a
extended across William street, and TO
do this 1t would be necessary to pur'
chase property owned by Senator Cot
fey Park Commissioner Squier was op-
posed to enlarging the park.
With the paving of William street
Mr.. Coftey was aware the park would
not be extended over his property.
Hence Alderman Guilfoyle's resolution.
Mayor Schieren this morning had an
interview with Coffey, and Guilfoyle;
The Mayor plainly told Mr.. Coffey that
William street must be paved. He then
offered Alderman Guilfoyle the choice
of rescirding his resolution passed last
Monday or having 1t vetoed. Mr. Gull
foyle chose the former alterna tive. The
real estate deal Is now declared OF for
ho
