Paying Billion to

Final Instalments, Due in
Two Weeks, Will Show
New York Has ShOuldered
Quarter of All Collections

When the final installment OF ms

selling corporation stock notes OF tht
city upon the acquisitions mentioned
and, second, by applying $1,000 900. tho
proceeds Of such sale. to redemption
of special revenue bonds Of the City
of New York, and that such violation
and prohibited acts were done by the
defendant Craig personally or through
his subordinates in the Controllers
Office. Concerning the material facts
there Is no substantial dispute. al
though. of course, tho contcndina
parties are not in complete accord as
TO the specific dates upon which GER
tain things were admittedly done OF
omitted to be done.
1.-THE defendant Craig does not deny
that the corporate stock was issued
and neither does he deny that $1,000
600 thereof was used for redemption
of special revenue bonds. But he
claims that each and every step neces..
sary for the issuing of the stock and
the application Of its proceeds had
been fully completed and the transac-
ton closed, so far as his office was
concerned, on February IL. 1919, two
dogs before thhe restraining order was
served upon him.
Question of Fact Raised
"Of course. II this be the fact then
the defendant Craig cannot be said to
have violated the provisions Of the
order, but if this be not the fact and
he is shown TO have disobeyed or ig-
nored the order or in any manner vio-
lated its provisions. then he is clearly
guilty Of contempt and should be pun
shed for not recognizing the mandate
of the Supreme Court.
"Hs claim l. that on February z,
1919, he was authorized to act regard
ing the stock by the resolution OF the
Board of Estimate; that on February
8 he invited the commissioners of the
sinking fund to invest Sl.000,000 in
corporate stock notes to be used for
the redemption of special revenue
bonds; that on February 10 said COM
missioners made proposals for the in
vestment of the sl,000,000: that on the
same day, February TO- warrants were
drawn and actually signed by his dep
uties and by the then acting Mayor OF
the City Of New York; that on Febru-
sry ii these same warrants were
signed by the chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Board of Aldermen
and that on the same day the war
rants, to which had been attached
what is called ad interim certificates
undated, were delivered to the Cham

Controller. when told of the decision.

Leonard NJ. Wallstein, counsel for the
