Contracts for all supplies purchased
by the city in the last three years are
now passing under the scrutiny OF ac-
countants and examiners employed by
the legislative committee which is try
ing to find out what is the matter with
the municipal government.
II is understood that some amazing
contracts already have been brought
TO the surface, although the work is
only barely started and it's completion
will take weeks. In some instances the
city Is said to have paid as high as
$50 per cent. above market prices for
supplies used by departments.
In accord with its policy of not max
ing known it's cases plecemeal and with
holding all information until the evil
dcnce is presented in full at its public
hearings the committee refused yes
terday to disclose what had been dug
up SO far in this line OF inquiry. The
only information given officially was
that Grant Crabtree. secretary of the
Police Department. and other officials
and employees in that department had
been before a subcommittee most of
the day answering questions regarding
the management of the special police
funds
Most departmental supplies are OBJ
tanned through the Board of Purchase,
Of which Grover Whalen is chairman.
The big lump sums for all kinds of
equipment are handled through this
board. All of the big contracts are
being combed through. 1t is said there
are many things requiring explanation.
Why and how some contracts were
made at figures which on the face of
records We're certainly not 10 the ad-
vantage of the city will have to be
told by those responsible. This prob
ably will be one of the most important
phases of the inquiry. Preparation of
the case will take weeks. 1t may not
be reached in public hearings for sew
eral weeks.
The hard work is being done by the
Investigators behind, doors doubly locked
and bolted. While they dug away yes

A Crimp In Mr.. Hirshneld.

David Iiirshfield. Commissioner of Ac-
counts. corroborated the Mayor, and
added that houseboat was tied up at
that point.
you must have been drinking some
powerful hooch il YOU saw all that"
the Comptroller interrupted The Com
missioner of Accounts protested that ne
was teetotaller.
IL was learned after the meeting that
the Board of Education had selected
the Skelly site out of three alterna-
tives after DIR. Shallow had alleged
that the site suggested by the Comp
troler was under water. The site Sc
lected was the only one of the three
which had water in front of It across
Neptune avenue. The Comptroller said
his reference was to any one of a
number OF good lots across Neptune
avenue.
When Assistant Corporation Counsel
Nehrbrass reported that he had tried
without avail TO find out from the
Department of Finance whether the
deed the Mayor wanted back had been
delivered TO Skelly. the Mayor ordered
the Corporation Counsel and Hirshfield
TO go thoroughly into this matter and
find out what is behind it,"
The only thing behind it," retorted
the Comptroller, lis Shallow. This is
nothing but an attempt to relieve Shall
low of the onus of withdrawing the
only site the Board of Estimate could
have selected. Shallow selected the
sites he proposed practically before the
ink ltqs dry upon the city's releases
of thflr titles"
The Comptroller had a report on his
desk showing those sites were wanted
before they were released said the
Mayor
THAT is absolutely untrue" cut back
the Comptroller.
La Gusrdia Suggests Grand Jury.
f. II. La Guardia President. OF the
Board OF Aldermen. said the matter
was so serious II ought to go to
Grand Jury. and Craig said he hoped
1t would. 1t was also suggested that
the Meyer committee might look into
the matter.
Hirshfield volunteered to find out all
that was needed to be known "lf the
Comptroller will let me get into his
office"
Try II and see what happens" replied
the Comptroller.
After the meeting Dr. Shallow said:
Comptroller Craig is the most in
famous, contemplate liar in the coun-
try. He sees wrongdoing in everything.
II has been very difficult to ind a site
for school at Coney Island. The three
alternatives we finally selected were be-
fore the Comptroller for months. He
didn't say a. word until we insisted upon
decision on one of them, and then he
shouted. 'Nigger in the woodpile = We
are willing to take any site that is avail
able.
IF Craig makes any allegations I'll
take care of him. We didn't even know
who owned the land when we selected
those sites. I can nail any statement he
makes. IL he is not careful I'll sue him
for libel"
