CITY PAID $12,000
TO GIVE M'CALL
FREE AUTO RIDES
Whitney Declares Chair
man Even Had "P. S. C.M
Taken Off Car.
STOCK OWNERSHIP
CONFESSED IN NOTE
Commission Head Turned Over
Mysterious 85 Shares to Nephew
Sale Netted $2,014
The taxpayers of this city paid |1S
?M for the purchase and maintenancc
of an automobile for the exclusive use
of Kdward K. MjCall. chaiiman of th.
Public Service Commission, for the tw >
years ended Jun,.- 80 last. This later
esting testimony was given by Trav i*
K. Whitney, secretary of the commis?
sion, at th? inveat gstion of th? Thomp?
son committee vesterday. which has
recommended McCall's removal.
Mr. Whitney also testified that sine
last April, which is about the time
the Thompson committee mode its 1rs*,
report, the letters "P. S. C " had bee-i
removed from the McCall car, wmen
was thus turned into a priva I
equipage, although the citv continued
to pay the bill. It was taken care of
at a garage in Kighty-third Streit,
three blocks from McCall's home, aril
?he chauffeur in making his reports I i
the commission merely turned in th*
number of miles travelled, without anv
details as to whirc the car had be-n
taken.
Mr. M-'Call travelled quite a bit in
these twa years, too. the official ml -
age record of the commission showing
that the cur had covered 16*184 miles,
or an average of about fortv-one miles
a day?including Sundays for that
period. Mr. Whitney .aid that the
commission had cijrht automobiles, an I
that all the chaitTeurs. with the ex
ception of the . ne on to McCall car.
turned in cards describing their trips.
It developed at the hearing >
nay that Parley, Morse * Co.. tin
Thompson committee's accountants,
had finallv traced the mysterious
eighty-five shares of the Kings Count
Lizht and Power Company stock which ;
were found in McCall'fl account With
K. R. Chnnman & Co. The stock, the
accountants found, WBI turned over,
by McCall on December 27. 1907. to
his nephew. John C. McCall. and on
September I, 1908, vns sold to Hallo- ,
well & Hoary, ?t a price which netted
a profit of ?-'-'.OIL
A Ictt.-r ligaed by the Public Ser?
vice ehairman coverinc this trar.sac- |
lion and directed to Waterman, \n
thonv & Co.. w^ich succeeded Chapman
& Co., was a part of the accountants'
?eport It read as follows:
This Will serve as an authorizrtion
to accept from L. R. Chapman & Co.
my account, which contuin- eighty-five
-bares of the Kings County Electric
Light and Power Company. Whan tha
isane i? received by you von are f ur?
iner authorised to place th? same to
?b, account of L C. McCall."
In view of afeCall'l admission in. 'his
letter that he had owned the eighty
five shares, the members of the com?
mittee were at a lo?, to Bnderstand
his testimony before the committee
about two weeks ago.
Or Noven.bei ?, when the 887 shares
he said he turned over to his wife
were under inveotigatioB, McCall was
asked b\ Deeoty Attorney ',
Lewis:
"Have you hhd any other stock In
this corporation in any other name
than Mackin'.??"
"These are the only shares of
I held." Met all re-';
A couple of da;, afterward Senator
Thompson said to McCall, while he
was .till on the witne i stand:
"The testimony is that he trans?
ferred it the Ml bar?-) to Mrs. Mc?
Call. 1 think you testified the other
day that this was the onlv stock vou
h-ld."
McCall's answer to this was "Yes."
The committee spent considerable
time yesterday delving into the his
?otv of the New York Edison rate case
and th? Kingrt County Gal Company
rate.
When Hayward took office last March
he said he "aw- a i;ood opportunitv for
thrift by dispensing with a $3,O00-a
vear private secretary and i
down the salary of hi.- stenographer
'rom ?1.500 a year to ll?CO. Three
months ago, however, the witness con
fe>sed, he took unto himsfflf a private
secretary and placed the salary of his
stenographer back at the oldtn
ure.
The committee hopes to have former
Commissioner Maltbie on the stand to?
morrow to quiz him about the Kini;->
County gas rate case.
