DOUBLE SROSSED MLLER CHARGE ESTIMATE BOARD Budget “Cards Dealt From the Bottom” to Poor Bronx, Says President. v wal i How his colleagues of the Board of Estimate give him “the double cross,” “dealt trom the bottom of the pack,” “tramed the cards under the table,” and @4 other feats calculated to mislead fim Was told in those terms by Bronx Borough President Cyrus Miller at the @eesting of the Board of Estimate to- Borough Presiient, whom he has dubbed “OM Cy Miller," and Comptroller Pren- Gergast and the other members of the Board bent double with merriment as the story continued. J “Yes,"" President Miller sata, “I got te double cross, good and plenty, and 1 my friend George here (Mdicating Bor | ugh President MoAneny) helped in that @ame. My hat Is off to George. He ts certeinly ambidexterous, as well as a @lever manipulator of figures—and, 3 might add, a very clever politician.” President Miller's remarks related to @ Jong list in the City Record of in- ‘oreases in salaries in bureaus supervised by President McAneny. President Miller has long fought for increases, but under & wule of the board these could not be granted, 80 when he made out his bud- @e@t he provided none, although he Claims they are essential in the cases of Geserving employees who are under- paid. President McAneny explained that aoreases made up for the increases, 80 | @ay. The Mayor laughed outright at the, Miller, “All I wanted was @ square deal, but I got the double cross.” Borough President Connolly of Queens also put in a word for general increases where they will do the most good, The resolution was referred back to the Comptroller for possible modification. ———»———_ Appointed to Charities Doard.
