HUGE DISCREPANCIES.
Brooklyn Records and Accounts Are
Found to Be $5,OOO,OOO Out
of Balance.

New York. Oct S.-Comptroller F'itch's
expert accountants, who have been at
work investigating the records and ac-
counts in Brooklyn, preparatory to consoii-
datlon, have found discrepancies in ac-
counts amounting to s5.OOO.O0O. The records
of the towns of Flatlands, Flatbush, New
Lots, New Uttrech and Gravesend, which
the officials of these town claim were
turned over to the comptroller and cor
poration counsel Of Brooklyn when they
were merged into Brooklyn, cannot be
found. and their absence interferes with a
proper investigation.
In the department of arrears there is the
utmost confusion in the records The ledg-
ers, some 225 in number, containing over
100000 accounts, are not in balance and ap-
parently have never been balanced, and
while ON January l. 1897. the balance to the
debit of the registrar of arrears on the
books of the comptroller was $s.415l2S, the
balance carried by the registrar of arrears,
as representing taxes and assessments in
arrears was 81. ,S26. and while the general
ledger shows that arrears of taxes prior to
1893 have been overpaid $17.253 the ward
ledgers disclose many items of unpaid tax
eS.
Officials of Brooklyn deny that there is
or has been any malfeasance, and allege
that the discrepancies reported by Comp
troller Fitch S experts are due in large part
to the defective system of bookkeeping fol-
lowed in the towns which were recently an
neNed to BROOKLYN.

Yesterday.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. S.-(Special) The
hearing of the express companies doing
business in this state was held to-day be-
fore the board of railroad and warehouse
commissioners under the order made some
time ago. that they should show cause why
they had refused to obey a previous order
of the board requiring the express COM
panies to reduce rates 10 per cent on gen.
eral specials.
1t is claimed by representatives of the
express companies that they do business
in Missouri at as low a rate as in any of
under their contracts with the railroad
companies; that general specials" which
are poultry. fruit, eggs and perishable
goods. are, carried into Kansas City and
st. Louis at as low a rate as the same class
of goods are carried into New York. Phil
adeiphia. Boston. Chicago and Cincinnati
from points equally distant in the interior
from those cities.
After hearing the companies the commits
sionerS made an order requiring the eX-
press companies to file schedules showing
reductions made since 1893. and the rates
row in force i'm the state, compared with
the rates in adjoining states. and adjourned
to the I'd day of November. when they will
take final action upon the schedules filed
by the express companies.
