Comptroller Travis
Denies Charges of
Brooklyn Times
Official Declares Attack
Was Purely Political;
Says He Did Not Buy
Bonds Above Market Rate

State Comptroller Eugene NJ. Travis
made formal reply yesterday to the
charges embodied in the attack made
upon him and his Office by "1he
Brooklyn Times"
Travis declared that the attack was
purely political, and he characterized
as false the principal charge that
sums in excess of market prices were
paid for bonds bought for the state
sinking funds.
In substantiation Of the charge that
the attack was purely political friends
of Travis said that John N. Hartman,
Mayor Hylan's Commissioner of
Brooklyn Parks, who is editor and
manager of The Brooklyn Times"
was the publicity manager Of the cam
paign of United States Senator Will
lam NJ. Calder four years ago.
Calder is opposed openly to Travis's
aspiration for the Republican nominal
tion for Governor and is also on
record as being against Jacob A. Liv-
lngstGn, the Republican leader Of
Brooklyn and the chief sponsor of the
Travis boom.
Tells How Bonds Arc Bought
"The statement that sums in excess
of market prices were paid for bonds
bought for the sinking funds is
false" said Comptroller Travis. "ln
purchasing bonds for sinking funds
the Comptroller is limited by law to the
purchase Of New York State and munich
pal issues. He cannot acquire, if he
would, bonds of other states or munic-
qualities, or of any public or private
corporation. He is confined to a mar
row market.
"Whcn bonds are purchased they arr
not paid for on that day, nor on the
next day. 1t is frequently several
weeks or months before payment is
made, the reason being that payment
is not made until the Attorney Gen
eral shall have passed upon all the
legal papers. In the mean time, after
purchase but before final payment, the
bonds acquired may appreciate or de-
preciate in value on the market.
The prices quoted by The Brook
Ign Times are those Of the market at
the time payments were made. Many
of them are lower than the prices for
the same dates quoted by leading
financial papers, the discrepancies
running as nigh as So points. The
newspaper has made no effort to as
certain quotations on dates of pur-
chase. II it had wished to be fair
it would have used purchase date
prices; instead it juggles the facts
and makes it appear that the state
has suffered, when that is entirely I'M
true in every respect.
Says Funds Not Wasted
II am satisfied that no one could
have made the bond purchase at the
time and under the conditions at
prices lower than those obtained. The
assertion that funds were wasted is
utterly untrue.
The article contains many false
hoods in regard to the administration
Of the New York City Transfer Tan
Bureau, and it is evident that the
newspaper contemplates publishing
moro. | cannot, of course, anticipate
the nature of these attacks 1t is
sufficient TO say that during my tern
of Office the New York Office of the
Transfer Tax Bureau has made larger
collections at a smaller proportionate
cost than during the term of any
of nv DredpceSSOrep
