The Mazet Committee will resume tab ing testi-
mony at 1880 a. to-day, using one Of the large
parlors on the second floor OF the Astor House.
No larger room could be secured. and only lin
tied number of spectators can be admitted TO the
parlor I'm the Aston House. Frank Moss, of the
committees counsel, was busy sending out sub
penas yesterday but he declined 10 tell what lines
of inquiry will be pursued to-day.
1t is expected. however. that additional testimony
will be taken TO show that the Commissioners OF
Accounts are worthless officials, and that an
amendment TO the charter should be made 10 abol-
ish their office. Mr.. Moss has declared That ne
thinks another amendment should shorten the
term of the Mayor TO two years. The Mayor, he
thinks should have power 10 remove heads Ot
depar tments any time during his term OF office,
30 that the Mayor may be held responsible for his
administration during his entire term OF office.
