MILLER'S MAD MIX, Rocky Bookkeeping Evi denced by the Treasur er's Official Report. Perplexing Discrepancies Ap parent in Almost Every Statement. ■ Taxpayers Assessed for the Sixth Street Bridge Kick Vigorously. Mr. Miller Attempts to Ex plain By Unfolding" a Queer '-Plan," The jspecial joint session appoint^l to consider tne, .Sixth sttvet lin<t_ r e assessment muddle, and also the at tempt on the part of City Treas urer Miller to divert moneys*, coileci ed on assessments to 'funds oilier than the proper ones, held a meeting yesterday. Assemblyman Reardun was chosen chairman, and all members of the committee with tne exception of Aid: Copeland were present. The, property owners, several of whom were" in attendance, were represented- by A. : E. JJoyesen. 61 the -law firm Of Mii'uiJ,, Boyesen & Thyseson. >;- {■- <{- -} The first matter considered by the committee was a communication ad dressed to the committee which- call.-d attention, to the fact that money collect ed on account of the Sixth street bridge. assessment since June 6, 1892. had not been credited to the proper fund, lv speaking of the annual report of City Treasurer Miller, the communication stated that all statements of the status of collected and uncoliected assessments and amounts paid on contracts, BS re quired by charter, had been entirely omitted from the report. The balances, the communication said, did not agree. Some ware left out entirely, while oth ers showed great discrepancies. Pages 5, 6 and ~of the treasurer's report pur ported to show fund balances of every fund in the treasury correctly given to correspond with the proper account. This, however, was not the case, and the communication went on at length to show some of Tiso I/lore Glaring. Error*. Something like $8,000, which should have been credited to assessment .fund?, are omitted in the reports. -Tho reacting of the communication had Hot proceeded far before Aid. Zimmerman, who had desired the same read, objected and said this was a matter in which'the com mittee had no authority, and he sugges ted that thu criticisms oji the manner in which City Treasurer Miller had kept the books be laid over to some other time. This was agreed to and the petition of property owners regard ing the sale of property assessed for the bridge on which judgment costs had not been paid was taken up. Assistant Corporation Attorney Phil !ipa, when asked to make a statement of tne muddle, inquired as to how mucn of a statement the committee wanted, lie was told the desire of the commit tee was to set at the facts in the case, nothing more and nothing less. Mr. Phillips said the assessment for the bridtre was made at a time when the legislature was In session, and bonds were Issued to cover two-thirds of the cost. The contract tor the substructure was paid out of the bonds and all but £60.000 of the, cost of the superstructure in the same way. This SUu.OOO was as sessed Bgaiust the property owners ben ylited and as there were sixty lots, the assessment was about $I,OJO a lot. The property owners took the case of as tment into the courts and judgment w;ts ordered against the lot?. As the owners talked about an apueal it was understood that in case no appeal was taken the owners could pay the face of the assessment and the judgment, costs anil penalties would not be en forced. By some mistaice Judgment IVa« Kutercd l"p in the clerk of the court's office before the owners, relying on the agreement, paid iv the amount of tho original as sessment. Mr. Phillips, in reply to Ques tions of the members, said, while there was no written agreement it was under stood that by not appealing the case the orieiual amount of the assessment would be accepted in full payment without the additional costs and penal ties. At the time, however, neither the property owners nor the legal depart ment knew thejuaguient hail been en tered. Mr. Boyeson interupted Mr. Phillips to say that, although there had been »o agreement in wntinjr, it was distinctly understood tiie judgment, costs and penalties wottid not lie enforced in case the appeal to the supreme court was not taken. Mr. Phillips admitted to thy committee that if Uie.re had been an ap peal the city would have certainly lost lhe case, and a re-assessment would have had to be. made, whicu would have kept the city out of the money for from six to twelve months, and tnen no pen alties or costs could have been col lected. uiy Treasurer Miller, who, owing to his »«f(irts tv make political capital fur himself, is ready at all times to etianre ex-Treasurer Jteis with criminal intent, commenced a statement about what tne city treasurer should have done in the ease. Mr. iioyeson, however. Called «r. Miller Duivi), and said the best thing for v the. " com mittee to do was to keep the tight • be tween Miller and Reis out of the affzir, and to con line the Investigation ' to the risnts of the property ■ owners iv this. particular case. The question was raised a3 to whether, the city could refund to the property owners the amount which has been paid in for the penalties and interest In the case. To this, Mr. Phillips replied that when more than the coat ot the im , provement had been paid in, the city council could, if it saw lit, refund the surplus to the property owners. mis brought to the front again the charge of the property owners that City Treasurer Miller has diverted the amount paid in during the last year to some fund other than the proper one, and by so doing had prevented any sur plus from accumulating. It was suggested that the city treas urer submit a report showing how the fund stood, and if there was any sur plus. To this Terrence Kenny, who is one of the property owners interested, objected, and said Mr. Miller was not a nt man to make the statement, "for," he added, "any man who will take money which should be credited to one fund and credit it to another, thus cheating the taxpayers in order to make political capital, is not a tit one to make such a report." A tlueer LUUo "IMan." Mr. Miller explained that he and the comptroller had a plan l>y which all penalties and interest paul on any as sessment was not credited to the land, Out to the interest and sinking fund, and by tula means there would not be a surplus in the Sixth street bridge fund or any other fund. Mr. Boyestru asked it this was the case what would be dpnu with the money vow due on the assessment when paid in. Mr. rnillips came to the rescue of the city treasurer, and explained that any surplus would go into the general fund. Assemblyman Sandell wauled to know if there was any money ever re turned to property owners owing to mure being a surplus in any fund. . To this Mr. Phillips said not .that he ever heard of, . : A resolution was finally passed direct ing the city attorney to "report to ; the coiuuiitree what surplus there .was, if any, in the fund, and what steps should THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MOUNTING, JULY 1, 1893." be taken to repay the property owners who had been compelled to pay the ad ditional costs and penalties. Aid. Zim merman also offered a resolution ciirecU inn the city treasurer to report as to tl'flf". errors in olverfine the funds as chamed' in the communication, and to make an explanation in detail.

An Economical Streak Stirs the Joint City Hall ana Court House Commission. An Kngineer, a Fireman and. a Watchman Dropped. From • the Pay Koll. The joint court housa and city hall committee determined at yesterday aft ernoon's meeting that retrenchment would have to be applied to its depart ment, and after a whispered confer ence between Mayor Wright, Commis sioner Sent;, and Assemblymen Daly and Zimmerman, two resolutions were drawn up and subsequently passed that cut the custodian's pay roll $303 per month. Tiie custodian and engineer of tho bailding were also in the confer ence held by tho persona named, and seamed to azree with the proposition which cut otf the heads of three men and reduced the salary of one. By resolution of Mr. Daly Ira E. Eirlestou, an assistant enxiueer w!io drew $75 per month; Edward Mullaney, a fireman at a salary of soo Der month, and Petyr Doherty, the night watch man, who drew *55 per month, had their heads cut off, and their services will cease July 1. The salary of Michael bclnrn, who was on the pay roll as a carpenter, bat who has been doing; jani tor work, was cut from $05 to §50 per month. Severn was appointed as a janitor, ami wag i^ivun a raise of $1"j per month three moutbs airo. His salary will now be the same as that of the oth er janitors. The custodian's pay roll before the cut included the following: Custodian, $100 per mouth; engineer, $100 per month; two assistant engineers at 575 per month; two firemen atf6oeach; four elevator men at $50 each; ten janitors at ?jj each; one janitor at $C">; a watch man at *.V); a gardener at $50, and a scrubwoman at -*-!(>. Before these resolutions were adopted there was a general discussion as to the state of the tinances at tne disposal of the- joint committee. County Auditor iiurus made a statement to the effect that there Is 533.003 allowed the com mittee fojfcsalaries and maintenance of buildings for the entire year. For the first six months, including the bills al lowed yesterday, thare has been ex pended 825.253.71, leaving a balance ror the remaining six mouths of 57,740.2 J. Th" committee discussed the practica bility of drawiug oa next year's funds to let them out, but tht; general view was that enough could not be provided to continue the present rate of expend itures, and retrenchment was agreed upon County Commissioner Daly advised against cutting oil the heads of any of the workingmcn and favored reducing the pay of all temporarily and making up full pay when times get better. His proposition was not considered with any favor, however. The committee allowed the custo dian's pay roll for .June, amounting to $1,380, and besides directed the pay ment of other bilis amounting to $1, --513.Gi). Commissioner Daly voted "no" on the passage of the bills and ex plaiued that hi- objected to a bill for re pairs, but afterward changed his vote to the affirmative.

Prof. Freeman Preparing a Hand some Series. Prof. E. J.

Can reductions: in fire department ex penses be made without impairing the efficiency of the service? was the %t¥ important Question considered yester day at a conference between members of the jobbers' union and Messrs. Pren ilerjjast. Martiu and Stillwell, of the fire board. Mayor Wright acted as chairman of the meeting, and reporters were informed that their presence w^is not expected, that the meeting was ex ecutive and private. Au officer of the union was requested by a member to giyfc the reporters a statement at the close of the meeting, and he promised to do so at 4:30 o'clock p. in. When that hour arrived the Iti.ohb reporter sought in vain for the promised statement, for the oliicer of the union had gone, having left word with his clerk that Cnanmng Seabury, the well known jobber, would give the desired information. Mr. Seabury, on being seen, said it was not customary for the jobbers to give out reports ot their meetings, but that lie did not sup pose it would do any harm to sum up the work of the meeting, which he did, saying: "The fire commissioners and a num ber of wholesale merchants mat to dis cuss the general situation in regard to the deficiency in the fire department funds fur the year. They went over the whole subject for nearly two hours, and it was the unanimous opinion <jf the jobbers that the expenses of the fire department must be cut down rea sonably in comformity to tne universal economy now being practiced through out the entire business world. Many of jobbers gave details of their own busi ness, and showed that they were obliged To Reduce tun Wages of their own employes, and that their men were cheerfully consenting, as they fully comprehended the necessities of the situation . It was also the unani mous sentiment of the jobbers that the reduction in expenses referred to should be by a moderate scaliug down of wages, but that the efficiency of the department itself should not be curtailed. They believe the firemen will all be reasona ble enough to submit to the same condi tion ot things that is universal through out the country, as they are citizens aud interested in the welfare of our city, like the rest of us." '•The. jobbers have no fear of strikes among the nremen or anything of that nature, and this idea was given ve.ry little attention. The fire commission ers, alter listening to the views of the jobbers, coincided with them, and it Is likely that a further conference may be had between the merchants and the commissioners when the latter have made further investigation as to what reductions in running expenses they can put in force without entailing hardships on the men or re ducing the efficiency of the entire de partment as it is now coustituted. Whether they can reduce expenses enough to meet the deficiency that will arise this year or not in this way with* out oppressing the men, was left for further consideration." Mr. Seabury, in reply to a question, said he did not think the conference in volved any movement toward doing, away with any of the chemicals or other lire apparatus, tie said: "That question is covered in the effort to which I have referred, to maintain the efficiency of the department in its entirety." Will Audit the Pay Roll. Comptroller McCardy, seen ynster day afternoon, said he had received the pay roll for the lire department for the month of June. The pay roil, he said, was about ?100 more than for the mouth ot .May. Questioned as to whether he would audit the roll, the comptroller said He certainly would. "If," he said, "the departments desire to eat all their pie in four months instead ot cutting down the allowance so as to give them something for the six months it is their privilege."

A Disreputable Epistle to a Girl Lands the Alleged Writer in Court. Previous Bad Conduct Charged to the Defendant V>y Some Witnesses. 010 Ostrum, of Elbow Lake, was tried yesterday in the federal court un an in dictment charging him with sending an obscene and threatening iettor through thu mails to Miss Elsie Paulson. The evidence \va9 all presented and the ense argued to the jury. Judge Nelson will deliver his charge this morning. The evidence was interesting and was di rected toward showing that Ostrom is a demoralized character. County Attor ney Schotield, ot Grant county, when on the witness stand, staled that about a year ago he had instituted proceed ings against Ostrom for alleged incest, but had not pushed the prosecution be cause of a lameness in the law. Ostrum has a family of ten children, three of whom are girls ranging m ag« from ten to fifteen years. In his letter to El*ie the charge was made that sev eral persons had improper relations witn her. The girl denied any unchaste conduct on the stand, and said that Ostrum had stated that he would pay $2,000 to keep her father in jail. A son of the. accused man testified that the letter in question was not in the hand writing ot his father. The penmanship is fair, and indicates tint it was not the work of the illiterate defendant. The spelling and composition in the letter show that the writer was very deficient in education. The case was hotly cou teated.
