Report Is Withdrawn Objects To Department Balances Being Given To the Public But Takes No Action Until Figures Are Ready To Submit To Common Council. W In a statement issued this morning Street Commissioner down as to his powers as head of the department and the powers of Councilman Stanley Tall (locum-s Tallmlulge. Mr. Damon accuses Councilmen Talimndge of oterstepplng his bounds and .of trying to exercise an- ‘hosil‘ies that are not vested in him by either charter or ordinance. The feud which has. according to the statement of the street commis- sioner. been existing for several weeks came to a, head at the meet- ing of the common council lest eve- ning When Counctlman Tallmadge withdrew the ill-monthly report of the Street Commissioner, stating that there were some figures in the report which he did not think should be made public Damon‘s Protest. The report was not presented to the council and. following the meet- ing Commissioner Demon demanded to know why the report was not pre- smiled and read. Warm words fol- lowed and this morning Commission- er Domun issued the following state- meni‘. March 10. 1926. "I was very much surprised at last night’s council meeting that the bi- monthly report which I died pres- pm-od, covering the activities and expenditures of the street depart- ment for January and February. had 1 been withdrawn by Councilman Tail- madso just prior to the meeting. This report was prepared to comply with existing ordinances and Mr. Tall- madge's action in withdrawing it is an unauthorized and unwarranted interference with the specified duties of the street commissioner. "The report itself is nothing to get excited about, being merely a rec- ord of work, expenditures and bal- ances enabling us to know where We stand financially and to keep track of the program of our work. By making .fhis report public. the citi« zone and taxpayers will get some idea as to how their money is being spent and also where the work is being done. I think. beyond ques- tion. that the taxpayers are entitled to know how and where their money is being spent. "Evidently Mr. Tallmadge differs with this view us Just before the meeting he told me he objected to making public our expenditures and balances. I am informed by the mayor that in withdrawing the re- pori. Mr. Tallmadge advised the , mayor that some of the figures were inaccurate and on this score. the mayor permitted the withdrawal. This. of course, conflicts with what Mr. Tailmadge told me, and if the figures are inaccurate. the burden of proof rests squarely upon Mr. Tall- madge‘n shoulders.
