Martin II. Glynn.

ALBANY, July 3l.-State Comptroller Mar
tin II. Glynn has forwarded to the chair
man Of the Westchester county Board Of
Supervisors. the County Treasurer and the
District Attorney Of the county copies Of a
report Of an investigation into certain affairs
Of Westchester county conducted by the
Bureau Of Municipal Accounts Of the Comp
troller's department. This report shows
that the methods OF conducting county
business have been lax in the period COW
cred by the investigation. which was from
November 1. 1908. to July 20. 1909. In a letter
to the chairman of the Board of Supervisuvs
accompanying the report Comptroller Glynn
says that the matters are important and that
the board should take such action as seems
to be required without unnecessary delay.
The Treasurer saccounts show he says that
county moneys nave been kept in the Mount
Kisoo National Bank, Rye National Bank and
Mount Pleasant Bank, all of which nave a
capital stock Of less than 500. 900, which is
the amount required of institutions holding
county funds The Comptroller also SAYS
that certain bonds given by depositaries
Of county moneys are detective; hat un-
warranted payments of moneys have been
made to certain officers and EMPLOYEES OF
the Sheriff 3 Office; tat certain claims have
been paid by the Treasurer without the audit
OF the Supervisors; that bills nave been
audited by the Supervisors which were not
itemized. as required by law that excessive
charges for publishing local laws have been
paid: that the County Treasurer has retained
fees for collecting excise moneys amounting
TO several thousands of dollars annually
when there is a question If he is entitled TO
any by law; that q better rate of Interest than
the I per cent. received on the county funds
should be secured. and that the system of
bookkeeping and general arrangements for
the care OF county papers should be i'm
proved.
Comptroller Glynn concludes as follows:
The matters above referred TO and those
mentioned in the report should receive the
early consideration OF your board. and il is
expected you will take such action az the

Wear, with All Canal work Paid For.
WASHINGTON, July Sl.-There was a sur
prise in the receipts and expenditures OF
the Government during the month OF July.
the first OF the fiscal year. There IL always
a deficit in July. and usually throughout
August. for many appropriations become
available at the beginning Of the new fiscal
year. and there In sure TO be an excess Of
disbursements over receipts in conse-
quence. In July Of last year the defcit
was si3. 5ii .it7. but In the month which
ended to-day The excess Of expenditures
over receipts was $40. sOI SIS. or about
o.. 900, 600 less han last year.
The appropriations made by Congress for
the curr ent year were very large and il
was not expected that the Treasury would
make q better showing In July than il did in
the same month of 1905. There was q gain
in receipts, however. OF more than 81. 800 900,
while the expenditures increased by a trifte
less than 81 DOC. 900.
The customs receipts in j uly were SIS, $780,
40. as against S26, I76, ia from the same
source in July OF last year. and internal
revenue receipts increased from So. 1902. 23s
TO S22, $40. 304. and there was a small in
crease from miscellaneous sources.
The favorable showing made in the cur
rent account of the Treasury 10 all the more
marked for the reason that all the expen-
dltures on account OF the Ianana Oanai
are being made from current funds. and
not from a fund created by an issue Of bonds
These expenditures now average about
81, 600. 900 per month.
The total receipts OF the Government
from all sources IN July were ass, 900. +85,
IA against $50, POS, 1852 in the same month
~ last year, and the expenditures were
SOC, sos. 900, as against t85. $40. 900. The largest
increase in disbursements was under the
head Of public works. and in fact II there
had been no increase in this department
the total expenditures Of the Government
for the month would ave been smaller
by several millions of dollars than last year.
There was actually a decrease in the naval
and military estimates and under the head
Of civil and miscellaneous
II il probable that the surplus in the
Treasury, which reached nearly 500, OO0, 900
in the last fiscal year. will be equalled in
the new fiscal year. unless there should be
a decline in business conditions or unless
there should be some unexpected emergency
calling for a large expenditure OF money.
The present outlook is that there will be
no need TO issue Panama Canal bonds dur
ing the fiscal year recently begun.
