SAY THAT COAL COST TOO MTCH
FAULT WITH BUREAU OF TIE OLD
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

The Commissioners of Accounts made report 10
Mayor Van Wyck yesterday on the operations Of
the Bureau of Repairs and Supplies Of the old De-
partment Of Public Works during the adminstra-
ton Of Mayor Strong The Commissioners charge
negligent because he did not enforce the provisions
of the contracts requiring the weighing OF coal
at places of delivery the platform scale In
CITY Hall Park. The scale in City Hall Park
is out OF repair. and has been in that condition
for years The fact that an inspector certified in
his reports that the coal charged for had been
delivered does not. the Commissioners say. amount
TO evidence that such the case. because the
vouchers for all the coal delivered reported by
one inspector and It is impossible for him person
ally TO check the weight Of all the coal delivered
10 the various city departments.
The Commissioners say that for 1913 tons OF
price paid was 81 cents a ton above the market
rate and in a few cases the prices paid for coal
on Department orders were from - 70 % cents
that four hundred tons OF coal were obtained each
year on Department orders which should have
been included I'm the contracts
The report also says. Receipts were filed In the
Ing acquisitions for payment. These receipts have
been so carelessly kept that many OF them have
been lost or destroyed. We have been informed by
James J. Dunno who the clerk In charge Of
any value after the contractor had been paid con-
sequently no particular care taken or them.
ana possibly some Of them have been lost. There
are no reports on file from the janitors for the
necessary for US to examine the conditions under
which the coal was consumed
