duced to s17Oo0OO. to be divided among the various
boroughs An effort was made TO restrict the use
of money raised from the s9le Of this stock 70

so framing the resolutions granting the money that
none of II could be diverted TO other purposes.
During the year 1906 there was expended BY the
Commissioners of Parks in Manhattan Tor labor

500 was voted in the budget for that year. Ths
balance was made up of S13S, ,4S7 paid out OF tbs
proceeds of the sale of special revenue bonds. and
Sl28S2 paid out of the sale OF corporate stock
The only new parks in the borough upon which any
work was done were the Colonial and St Nicholas
parks in upper Manhattan. and all the labor en-
ployed upon them done by contract Pract-
cally every dollar OF the S57.19 spent in wages
during 1906 in the borough of Manhattan was ex-
pended for maintenance Of completed parks and
should have so appeared in the budget statement
In the Bronx during the same year labor wages
actually paid amounted to s54l, ,3Sl OF this amount
only $22s, ,63S provided for IN the budget ms

sincerity of Mayor McClelan's protestations along
