ANOTHER SHOT AT WHALEN.
THE CONTROLLER EXPRESSES HIS OPIN-
ION OF THE CORPORATION COUNSELS
STAND-MORE CLAIMS FILED.

Claims by city employees for back pay under the
prevailing rate of wages" law were filed with the
Controller yesterday In the of $50 S31 James
District, filed claims of clients amounting to ssS $50
One of the claims filed yesterday was by John
Dorgan. a stonemason in the Department of Cor
recton. who asks for S27o0, representing the diff
ference between the wages he received and the
alleged prevailing rate for ten years including work
overtime. Controller Coler says he still thinks the
claims will reach 100000.
The Controller yesterday took another shot at
Corporation Counsel Whalen, saying:
easily understand the opposition of the
Corporation Counsel to the bill which limits his
city of New-York. This Department fully realizes
why he not only opposes II IN the Legislature. but
absolutely refuses 20 the Department Il fair OPP
portunty OF presenting questions at Issue before

On the other hand It is entirely incomprehensi,le
TO rs why he should throw the whole power ana
Influence Of his office in opposition the bill which
prohibits the city Of New-York from paying more
than the market price for supplies and instead Of
throwing upon the city the burden Of proof com
under orders for less than $l"5o time TO show
that prices charged are market rates and

show that prices paid have been simply outrageous
but the courts have in sucn cases held that the
department of Finance could not lntcrp0se sue

matter Of purchases could be shown.
The aim of this Department is 10 obtain the pas
