By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 PAONESSA RENEWS EFFORT T0 HAVE JOHNSON OUSTED AS PUBLIC Puts Blame for Condi- tions in Department Directly on Secretary of Board and Makes Charges That He Was Deceived. “Books Were Not Kept Right and Were Not Audited Properly” Mayor Declares, IncJuding Cur-| tis in Broadside to Com- missioners. In his first written statement to members of the board of public works since he made it known that he would insist’ that Clerk George H. Johnson be dropped, Mayor Paonessa today recited the history of alleged delinquencies in the department made it known that Johnson had been twice warned, and charged that the clerk had deceived him re garding the condition of accounts. The board will meet tonight Whether the Johnson case will be brought up and disposed of is & ques- tion, since Chairman George R. Dob- son is confined to his home by ili- ness and will not be present. To- night's meeting will be the first for Commissioner Romaldy Szmanski, successor to the late Commissioner Felix Bezrudczyk. Paoncssa’s Letter Mayor Paonessa’s letter to the commissioners reads: “Considerable has been said in the past few weeks with reference to the extent of responsibility at- tached to your clerk, Mr. Johnson, for conditions which have arisen with reference to uncollected ac- counts in the department of public works. “It is needless for me to set forth that the mayor appoints the mem- bers of the board of public works, and they in turn elect a clerk, whose obligation it is to take over the books and records of the de- partment and properly handle them. It would be unreasonable to hold members of the board re- sponsible, for they must depend en- tirely upon their clerk for the ef- ficlency of the book and record keeping. “In 1924 and 1925, it came to our attention that there were thousands of dollars in uncollected assessments on the books of the department of public works. Mr. | Johnson, the clerk, was called into conference and given a severe re- primand. 1 then endeavored to im- press upon the common council and the board of finance and taxation the wisdom of a thorough auditing (Continued on Page Four) STRIKING GARMENT WORKERS ARRESTED Mass Picketing Is Broken | Up by New York Police w York, Feb. 11 (®—Police ar- rested 250 striking garment work- ers in the crowded garment district today as they attempted to carry on mass picketing.

They proceeded to a fountain near Edison's new office, a birthday present from his wife, where the president-elect chattered for a short time with Edison, Henry Ford and Harvey 8. Firestone before going into the Edison home to pre- pare for a motor ride through Yort Myers.

The committee is faced with the requirement of eliminating between $500,000 and $900,000 from the re- quested appropriations if the rate is to be Kept at its present figure, 26 mills. An extra tax of one-ffth of one mill has already been levied for the school department .,and this must he added to the rate for mext year. It is agreed by the heads of the financing departments that an increase cannot be avoided. Not only must neurly every special item be rejected, but also there must be re- | ductions in amounts set forth in the regular budgets and some of the contemplated improvements and re- pairs must also feel the pruning shears. Cuts in the department of public works alone will amount to several hundred thousand dollars it is be- lieved certain. Members of the com- mittee will concentrate their atten- tions on the special items in the fire and police boards, probably elimi- nating the new fire house, new lad- der truck, automobiles for the po- lice, and giving few new men for each department.
