A COUP TO HELP Ma GLE.
HE WOULD SPEND S1SOOOO WITHOUT
PUBLIC LETTING.

The Tammany majority in the Board of Alder
yesterday tried to force through a grant of
S1S00OO to the Street Cleaning Department ap-
parently intended a means of giving some
spending money to Commissioner Nagle before
he goes out of office, but Republican members
of the board made effective fight on the
proposition. and it put for future
meeting. The items in the statement of needed
supplies included one hundred horses at SO each.
125 steel ash carts at $40 each. a $4,000 gar
bage crematory. and a $4,000 covered dump.
After the items had been read. Alderman Mc1n-
nes said. We can't honestly pass that"
why nOt?' asked several aldermen.
Because don't know that those are the
best figures that can be had," replied Alderman
McInnes This is a scheme to permit the Com
missioner buy these articles without public
letting. 1 move that this be made special Or
der for next meeting
After a wrange, in which Alderman Goodman
attacked the Tammany plan. the resolution was
made special order for next Tuesday.
1t was asserted yesterday that Commissioner
Nagle had backed down in attempt to fost
a contract upon the city for the removal Of
ashes in Manhattan and The Bronx in 1902 for
S566 764 The Masters and Pilots Association
was ready, 1t said. to get injunction to
restrain Nagle and Controller Coler declared
that he would oppose the ratification of such
a contract in the Board OF Estimate and Appor-
tionment. According to figures submitted, the
city would have to pay about 100000 too much
for the removal of ashes under such contract
it might have been profitable to Nagle II he
could have loaded the contract on the city, but
since the election he is said to have changed his
mind to the possibility of getting approval
for the contract.
A suit against the city brought by eight hun
dred sweepers who laid off for time by
Nagle. is said to have raised question to
the legality of Nagles act. Nagle laid the men
~ he that ~
not needed. Then he went before the Board of
Estimate and Apportionment and had the money
saved In the salary account transferred for the
purchase of supplies. The men who were laid
off have sued for their salaries amounting to
nearly 100000, on the ground that they
employed by the city by the year, and cannot
be suspended except for cause. If they win the
suit the city will have to issue bonds TO pay the
