The Municipal Reiorm Association of the Seventh Assembly district held a meeting at No. 43 South Washington square last evening, Mr. F. &. Thur- ber in the chair. After the usual preliminary proceedings Mr. H. F. Tainter, of tue Compirolier’s efiice, delivered an address upon “The Ring Frauds.” He said these frauds were set down iv the newspapers at $30,000,000. He wished ho could stop there. This amount consisted of direct payments made from the city and county treas- aries on warrants signed by the notorious oficial robbers and was independent of all the aepart- Ments except that of Public Works, which pata out thelr own disbursements. Neitner does it in- clude the amounts paid under contracts. The things burdened with this vast amount are the @djusted clainis—the new Court House, the Har- Jem Court House, repairs and alterations of the aqueduct, street lamps, &c. The autnority for the j payment ofthe bills of the county was found in the | action of the Board of Supervisors and in the com- mission appointed by tne Legislature and known ; as the Interim Board and the Court House Com- | mission. In the city he regarded the Board of Public Works as chiefly responsiple. Mr. Tainter | then called attention to the special legisiation passed in the interest of tne Ring thieves by which they were enabled to perpetrate their robberies under o thin cover of eae Toe most important of these may lound in sec. 7, chap. 858, of the Laws Of 1868, which gave special authority to tne Comp- troller '0 adjust Cluims; the ostensible ovject being 10 prevent costly and unnecessary litiga- tion, That legislation cost the city $1,000,060 a it Under it the Comptroier adjusien | $6,214,554 19, of which, probably, irom eihty-five tO ninety per cent was based on fraaduieut claims. The law directed payment by the Issue of revenue bonds, to be met by direct | taxution; bat belore the assessment of 1860 these bonds were passed co the funded und permanent debt of the city.
