CORPORATE STOCK ABUSE.

Another practice which has greatly
helped to bring about the state of finan-
cial chaos which exists is that of selling
corporate stock fifty-year bonds for
various municipal purposes" Here again
the Controller has usuped autocratic
powers neither contemplated in nor per-
mitted by the provisions of the city char
ter. The Controller is not authorized to
borrow money on the city's fifty-year
corporate stock bonds simply as money
and dump the proceeds the general
pot" to be checked out at his own sweet
viii for any and every purpose he may
see fit. Yet this is practically what the
Controller does uEder the unauthorized
procedure of selling corporate stock
bonds each year under the blanket desig-
nation of various municipal purposes"
There is nowhere within the four cor
ners of the city charter. or any one of it's
amending laws, the smallest warrant for
this practice. The charter does state
specifically every purpose for which cor
Porate stock may be sold. Those pur-
poses are enumerated in Section 169 and
subsequent designated sections and are:
+ or the payment OF ueDIS OF IOTmer nu-
inequalities absorbed by the greater city;
for replenishlng the fund for street and
park openings; for the payment of as
sessments against the city; for the re-
funding of assessment bonds when as
sessments collected have not been sufi-
cient for that purpose; for refunding
other maturing bonds; for replenishing
the fund for street Improvements; for
water supply purposes not exceeding s2,-
000, 900 a year; for the purchase of land
for public purposes; for the construction
and equipment of school houses, not ex-
ceeding $4,000 a year; for repaving
streets, not exceeding S2,000000 a year.
and for the Improvement of parks. not
exceeding 100000 a year. Corporate
stock, the charter says in Section AZ. may
also be issued for purposes other than
those specifically enumerated above, or
for such purposes in excess OF the
amount specified. only upon a majority
vote of the Board OF Aldermen. approved
by a majority vote of the Board of Esti-
mate. In this clause of the charter also
