YEW SYSTEM IS DANGER.
Cliambcr of Commerce lie port on
'Accounting Investigation.
Commending the new accounting system, which
Controller Metx has been working to install in the
Department of Finance, the committee on finance
er.d currency <-f the Chami^r «f Commerce says
that tbere is Krav«» danger that all the work m> far
done will go :<ir nauplit and that the accounts will
rctrocra'tie to a condition worse than before.
This statement, made in the report of the com
mittee on its Investigation of the financial affairs
of the city and j>rinH'd in tlip Chambers bulletin
for June, will be pres.-nti-d at the regular meeting
of that body on Thurxlay.
Then th»- Chamber *.\ill be asked to pass a reso
lution urging the Hoard of Estimate and Appor
tionment "to appropriate £*>.<*« at its next meeting
to enable the Controller t<» employ the temporary
expert assistants imperatively needed to make iho
new pysum entirely effective in the Finance De
partment."'
It is stated that tlie Controller nee<ls fifty expert
accountants to a>sist in the installation of the
system, whereas h«- now has the means to employ
only fifteen. A bill Riving him power t.. employ
the necessary help was parsed by the Legislature,
but was vetoed by the Mayor recently because of
Wlssl lie eonp;<iere<i iir.perfections.
Tho rejxirt <>f the committee is signed by James
G. Cannon. Maurice I*. Mnhleman. Gates W. Mr-
Garrah and John Oallin, regular members of the
standing committee, and K. Fulton Cutting, an
additional member of the Chamber, serving for
this investigation only. It appointed a cub-com
mittee. of which Mr Muhleman was chairman.
Including Fran-is F. White and Robert 11. Mont
gomery, expert accountant?, to examine the new
accounting system. The report of this sub-com
mittee ••■■- question in detail, and was
adopted by the main committee as embodying its
loeas. Regarding tli.i system of accounting, the
cut--' on n •■■ ■" t^ays:
"We unhesitatingly assert that the general prin
ciples upon which the new accounting system ret-ts
are pound, and that their application to the ac
counts of the city cannot but be benehc ial 1. 1 ■ a
marked decree Tn" substitution of a thorough!*
SXrdinaV accounting system for the "n^enUfic
and incomplete one that has preva l!t '< ,f?, f ? V . wVfl
only pay for itself by enabling the V 1V 1 " 11 ? 1^';"/' 1
as the citizens to secure a knowledge of the exact
financial condition of the municipality, and t hus
• furnish the essen'ial data to secare economical
administration, bat will unquestionably laise the
credit of the city.
But the committee foui.d that the installation
bad not proceeded satisfactorily, due to the lack
cf assistance. As to this, the rci>ort Bays:
Unless rigorous measures are speedily adopted,
there 'is Jreat danger that the work already don*
wnrco for i.augr.r. and the accounts as a whole
rVvenVo a condition worse than th>y were in
before the reform was inausurated. t ortun^tei> .
It is not too late to do «ruat should havebe^ done
In January, of tbi:-. year, but we are a«i> on - ! >
of the opinion that if the installation staff is not
F-jpplementoti by sufficient assistants vithin the
next thirty days very much of what has alreadj
been done "will have lost its effect.
It is intimated that a subsequent revival of the
system might be hampered by hostility which has
been veiled heretofore. It is also suggested that the
I active interest of some might wane if placed should
be a prospect that the system could 1* placed in full
operation immediately. The report says:
Xo other issue has been presented to our citizen
ship in v^ars so vital to the permanent welfare ot
greater Xew York. Questions of rapid transit, of
educational expansion. «f commercial advance and
Of social reform, pressing though they .ye, must
take second place to this, for every re.orm an-1
every measure of municipal advance depends upon
a capable, honest and economical administration of
the citvr finances, and this cannot be secured with
out such a system of accounting as shall fix respon
eibility in every stage of municipal receipts and
municipal expenditures.
The committee recommends that what is now the
stock and bond division of the Controller's office be
separated Irom his jurisdiction and tiiat the office
of the City Chamberlain should also be entirely in
dependent of the Controller. The report adds:
Jlfc The averace capacity and efficiency of the person-
X] ml in the l»epa-iment of Finance are not as high
R/as they should be for the important functions ol
V the Controller. V.'c are .onvinced that great im
provement could l>e effected merely by the estab
lishment "f an efficiency record to be kept by heads
of divisions.
In connection with the holding up of payments
for work done and supplies received by the city the
committee says that some delay is caused by the
charter provision that the Mayor or bis chief clerk
must countersign all warrants. This the members
consider unnecessary, as the City Chamberlain
could aot for the Mayor in the way of holding up
any improper payments. The report also says:
Instead of limiting the powers of the Controller
over the city's accounting. ;is the < 'barter Revision
Commission* proposes, his jurisdiction should be ex
t^r.ded so as to embrace the accounting staffs of all
the departments.

AFTER FRESCH MONEY.
Morgan, Harjcs $ Co. to Introduce
Steel Common on Paris Bourse.
Tan?. May a.-Mocsan. Harjcs & Co. have formed
a syndicate for the Introduction of the common
shares of the United States Steel Corporation on
the Paris Bourse. Beyond the fact that the leading
French bankers are participating, no detaUs of the
matter are available.
The news ban not yet been made public here, but
it Is expected that its announcement will create a
sensation both in Paris and America. In financial
circles the matter is regarded as of farreaching
importance and as an achievement of the first mag
nitude for the Morgans. For years American bank
ers have been knocking at the doors of the Paris
Exchange in order to reach the enormous surplus
represented by the savings of French Investors, hut
powerful influences, notably Russian, have been
successful heretofore In blocking them.
Exactly how the tables have been turned remains
to be disclosed, but the growing interest among
French bankers in American securities— there has
been considerable curb trading in these shares— and
the more friendly attitude on the part of the gov
ernment probably were determining factors.
Th- listing of Steel common is counted upon as
an entering wedge for the general introduction of
American stocks. The only other American securi
ties heretofore listed in Paris ha\e been single
issues of the New York, New Haven & Hartford
and Pennsylvania Railroad bonds.
The news from Paris explains in large measure
the recent remarkable strength of the shares of
the United States Steel Corporation. Early in the
year United .States Steel common sold above 53, but
with the announcement in February of an '"open
market" the stock sold off abruptly, touching 41' i
on February 2". '
i re Dvery was made from this level, bow
ever, rm 1 with few Interruptions Str.! common ad
steadily. In the week .-nd* I .] May 22 it went
well above its previous l 'ii;h record of a&\, made
fter 1 • Taft'a election, with total
f over 600,480 shares.
In the five business days of th» week just ended
more than 4oO.C«Xi shares changed hands, the stock
advancing to and closing at M 3). a gain of exactly
4 points for the week, Yesterday was a holiday in
the financial district, and no confirmation of the
Paris report was obtained from the Morgan bank
in?: interests.
Elbert H. Garj-, chairman of the United States
Steel Corporation, said: ■•[ know nothing about
the report that application has been made to list
the securities of the corporation on the Paris
Bourse, but I pres'im*; th.it it fs true, for lh< lea
son that the French have recently been heavy buy
ers of United States Steel shares."
