MENT OF A NEW PARK COMMISSIONER.
Mayor Wurscr is giving opportunity to the
pontnent Of the Park Commissioner Not
evan the Mayors closest friend has the slightest
idea who will receive the appointment. 1t is certain
that the Mayor has number of names under con-
sideraton. but that is all that is known. The men
whose names have been connected with the ohco
since Mr. Woodruff resigned have little or nothing
to say about their own chances. None OF them
denies absolutely that he is Interested in the Office
but each says that he is without any kind or infor-
nation regarding the Mayors intentions
1t said yesterday that Mayor Wurster had
practically decided not TO give the Office TO Will
lam Be ri A few days ago Mr.. Berri was the most
promising possibility, but for some reason unknown
to any except the Mayor himself Mr. Bcrris
chances have grown less rather than greater Wal
ter b. AtterbuTy still remains the head of the
list of possibilities. 1t Is believed that he would
accept the Office if 1t offered to him. but he
seems TO think that his chances of getting II are
rather slim. The Mayor 1t Is said. is inclined 10
cling to the tradition that the Park Commissioner
should be a prominent citizen of the Park slope
This qualific icaton debars Mir. Atterbury. The poll
tcians in the administration faction are hoping
that the Mayor will select some man for the place

consulted his colleagues in the Willis faction. ana
they are as ignorant as everybody else regarding

mr. TAYLOR EXPLAINS WHY SUCH LARGE SUM

uR. TAYLOR EXPLAINS WHY SUCH A LARGE SUM
WENT TO ONE BANK.
The presidents OF the local trust companies are
disturbed over the recent action Of city Treasurer
TAYLOR in placing with the First National Bank. In
broadway II. B. Wilson's check for Sl.s79.14s 20
II was handed to him in payment for city bonds
few days ago. The law requires that such moneys
shall be deposited with local banks and trust com
panes other than savings banks. pro rata. accord
ing to their capital. The presidents referred 10
want TO know why this has not been done In this
case and why such a large sum should go 10 one In
stitution.
City Treasurer Taylor says in reply that he could
not split up the check in the manner desired and
that had been told by the Deputy Controller that
the latter had no power to draw warrants so as to
have the money distributed among the various
financial institutions Several Of the presidents of
these Institutions had called 20 him. and seemed
satisfied with his explanation. He declared that
upward Of three quarters OF million had been
dra wn from the bank within a day after the deposit
that "A like amount will be drawn in few days
and that by the end oil the month probably all Of
the deposit will have been drawn out.
Sas Il. butcher president of the Hamilton Trust
Company, said he had complaint TO make
cerning the deposit. Where deposits were made for
such a short time. he thought II made little differ
whether the money was distributed or not
Mayor Wurster said yesterday that he favored an
amendment to the charter by which bidders for city
bonds must In each deposit certified check
