Hackett and Commissioner William A, Hendrick of the board of finance has taken on a much broader aspect with regard to the municipal administration, was made by . Mr. Hackett last night. He puts up to Commissioner Hendrick, acting chair- man of the board of finance, ‘'the re- sponsibility f4r its action,” and charges "a total miscalculation for the past five years of $1,420,349," be- tween the board's estimate of taxes to be collected and the uctual amount collected, " *Commissioner Hendrick, who was the subject of an attack in a state- ment by the tax collector becausc he tabled the latter's salary increase voted by the board of aldermen by dissolving a tie vote in the board of finance, answered the tax colleo- tor's statement Saturday.
