Father Knickerbocker is a reckless
spendthrift, at least that is the latest
charge that has been made against the
lonS-3ufferinS old gentleman in knee
breecnes. As Comptroller Metz and
Health Commissioner Darlington are
among those who make the charges
there may he presumed to be some
truth in them. The Comptroller points
out that it costs $500, 100000 a year to
run the city or more than the COM
bined Expenditures of London. Paris
ard Berlin. 1t requires S11.000 900 to
| cover the municipal pay roll alone and
much of this is alleged to go for I'M
necessary salaries. In fact Mr.. Metz
asserts that the positions of one-thrd
of the city'S employees could be abol-
| lShed without lessening the amount OF
work accomplished. Other wasteful
| items to which he calls attention are
the Interesting charges amounting to
millions. due to the city's habit of
spending its income before it is col

most reached and with real estate tax
es amounting to figures which are
