Controller Coler yesterday began negotiations
with several trades organizations in the city.
asking them to aid in the appointment of a
committee to investigate the purchases Of sup
plies by departments of the city government.
The committee will be asked to ascertain If the
city is paying too much for it's supplies and If
the system of awarding contracts for supplies
cannot be improved. Mr.. Coler said yesterday
that he expected the committee would get to
work in few days. Meanwhile the clerks in
the Finance Department making up list
of supplies for which the city has been paying
more than the market price.
The attention of Mr. Coler was called yester-
day to a statement made by Assistant Corpora
tion Counsel Carr. of Brooklyn, in which Mr..
Carr is quoted saying that the Controllers
charges against the Corporation Counsel were
reckless.
Mr. Carr is a subordinate of the Corporation

THE SUBSCRIPTIONS HERE

1t is understood that the American subscrip-
uons to the British War Loan were practically
closed yesterday noon by ]. P Morgan e. Co
who are acting as the American representatives
or the Bank of England in placing the loan it
was said at the office of j. p. Morgan & Co
yesterday that the firm had received large
number OF subscriptions, applications by mail
being especially numerous: but the names of the
local subscribers could not be ascertained 1t
is known. however, that several large life in
surance companies have subscribed for the new
consols. with the object of using them as part
Of the bonds which they are required to de-
posft in Great Britain a condition of doing
business there.
Mr. Cromwell, treasurer of the Mutual Life
insurance Company. of New York says that
the company has subscribed for e., 600 900 Of
the new English loan The company at first
onered TO take this amount outright, and even
now hopes to secure it. The offer Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company was made before the
books were officially opened for subscriptions
and, II is believed, stands for investment in
the loan as the largest subscription made
in this country
Vice-President A B. Hepburn. of the Chase
National Bank, practically admitted that that
institution would subscribe for the war
loan. He expressed the opinion that the sub
scriptions would have a tendency to advance
local money rates, but not to a serious extent.
Vice-President F. %. Leech of the National
Union Bank, said: The payment for the Amer
lean subscriptions to the British loan will
not affect the local market, for the that
the money subscribed will remain here In
word. the obligations will be settled by the use
of our foreign credits"
