ANTHONY CARROLL HEARD.
Presented Some Interesting Facts to
the Board of Finance.


the Board of Finance
Anthony Carroll appeared before the
board of finance at the meeting Thurs
day night and was heard on several
matters relating to the municipal gov
eminent He asked as a request in
the interest of the largest portion of
the taxpayers of this city, to have the
meetings of the board of finance open
to the public and especially the hear
| ings of the various boards of the city
government when asking for their an
nual appropriations. He suggested that
as they have before them report from
the court of common council relating to
| the extravaganza of the school system
Of the city of New Haven each member
of the board of finance should make 1T
q special duty of his to make thor
ough investigation of the facts set forth
in the report, He said that while he
was always in favor of giving the chill
dren of the city of New Haven the best
education they could get to make good
| and useful citizens of the nation he
had always been opposed to the unwar-
idlitCu oySlSIl VI tAlldNhSdHCc piazza
ed by the boards of school commission
ers. He said: 1T is fact that every
superintendent the school district had
advanced different ideas which were
not only endorsed but promptly carried
out regardless Of cost to the district,
and every new superintendent has con-
demned the system adopted by his pre-
decessor'
Mr.. Carroll called attention to the adj
visibility of having expert accountants
audit the books in the tax collectors
office going back to the year 1878. He
said: II have always been in favor of
having the accounts of the city balane-
ed correctly, and in order to have this
done 1t Is necessary to have some one
who has had no financial or political
interest either for himself or his friends
in the accounts of the city government
one who is thoroughly posted on city
affairs. In order to have a correct ac-
count of the taxes of said city 1t would
be necessary to go back to the year 1857
and continue yearly up to the present
time, which, to say the least, is COM
plicated state of AFFAIRS
Mr. Carroll called the boards atten-
ton to the system this city has adopted
in auditing city bills and referred to
specific instances, presenting copies of
bills. Bill No 1871, dated April 80, 1891,
amount $i1.10, was approved by the
beard Of public works, for blank dollars
and blank cents, is allowed on the above
bill, signed by five members of the board
of finance; No. 1,2S1, December 81, 1890,
amount 1892. approved on the 30th of
