COLER AT METZ AGAIN
Uses Report on Seuer Contract as
Weapon of attack.

Bird s. Coer. Borough President of Brooklyn
continued his retaaory tactics yesterday by issu-
ing report through his secretary, John f. HeHer-
man, practically accusing Controller Metz Of sup
porting a contractor in an attempt to overcharge
the city. The Don!on Contracting Company cleaned
several of the sewers OF Brooklyn. The rate was
81 q a cubic yard. Edward NJ Grout then Con-
troller, held up the payments on the work Wnen
Controller Metz came into office he proposed that
President CoIer. the latter says. permit the COM
pany to collect its money.
The engineers Of the local sewer bureau and Il
". Creusbauer consulting engineer, made an IN
veStigation, and Superintendent Dunno OF Inc Du-
reported:
'.It has been ascertained that in at least one or
two lengths of the larger sewers cleaned deposit
removed to extent greater than their
capacity"
A thorough Investigation Of the work done by the
company followed and MI Dunno made fuFther
report, in which he said:
You will also find attached to this communication
another tabulated statement showing sae fT6 amount 1

Under the assumption that the excess in yardage
could be accounted fo BY the deposit in the entire
of sewer which was cleaned. and find that this en-
tire system would necessarily have been half hlied
with deposit to equal the yardage removed from
length sewer cleaned. Such condition OF
this system of sewers examined appears improo-
able.
President Coler then says:
The report Of the superintendent OK sewers Was as
the n an Sf
who recommended strongly that no payment be
made the contract. All those papers were
placed in the hands Of the Controller. After some
attempts on the Controllers part to set from i tne
Borough President a certificate as to the compie-
tion of the work, the was placed IN the halus
of the Controllers friend, Senator McCarreh anu
bill passed in the Legislature permitting the
Board of Estimate to investigate the claim ~
The Board Of Estimate referred tha claim TO the the
Controller. and the Controller has since that time
been endeavoring through his subordinates to get
the Borough President to consent to making
favorable report upon the matter. This ne mas
failed to do The Commissioners of Accounts

stantial majority in the lower house?
OF course, Cannon and. the men he
represents will have nothing to sayI
about the hundreds Of R~epublican
orators who assured the people that
the 6. o. p. was the original and NEST
persistent opponent of the predatory
interests and would clip the tentacles
OF the octopi at the hrst opportunity.
Those pledges and their makers will
be swept aside as unauthorized. and
committee will frame the new tariff
bill.
There are already many signs that
certain interests will openly demand
higher schedules. The Diamond match
trust has officially commented on the
~"meagerness" of the duty on matches.
AS a matter of fact, during the fiscal
year 1867 the value Of the matches
imported into this country amounted
to only 5000, 900, and during that time
the match trust and the few indepen'
dent concerns competing with it were
paying surprising dividends on Hber
ally watered stock. There is little
| doubt that the trust could have com
| peted with its foreign rivals without
any protection. The 31.89 per cent
ad yalorem merely enabled it to ad
vance the price of matches to the
American people.
The other "infantile industries
will be heard from in time. They viii
all clamor for more protection, and
the hard times existing in the East
will be used to drive home the arg1l
ment that the only way to NIL the
millions OF empty dinner pals Is By

sumers on a more extensive scale.

scented to congress : there will be

was In most cases but one or W
votes. The similarity Of the vote
hardly justffes the labor of reproduc-
