The failure of the heads of the Mayor's departments, who purchase food, city goods and all sorts of supplies on open orders, to transmit the bills for payment to the Finance Department, has been made the subject of official correspondence between Controller Pendergast and Mayor Gaynor, Mr. Prendergast was prompted to take the matter with the Mayor because his heads of departments have made it to refer complaints from a practice tradesmen that they have not been paid the Finance Department. The Conto troller points out that he can hardly be expected to pay these bills if they have not been transmitted to him by the department heads. The Controller warns the departments where the failure to transmit these bills Is the most flagrant.

The Street Cleaning Department seems to be the worst offender. Some of the bills in this department for open orders have been delayed in transmission to the Finance Department over a year.

He died thirtyfive years ago. When he was the proprietor of the place it was one of the assembling places for the inhabitants of Bay Ridge, and it was here that the pol- iticians of the old town of New Utrecht met and discussed affairs prior to the outbreak of the Civil War and for some years afterward.

Just before the war, when the yellow fever epidemic was raging in New York City, the old hotel, which was considered to be located in an "isolated" place, was used as an emergency hospital, and housed many cases of the fever.

THIS PIANO STORE Is Three Things First of All: I It is possibly the most extensive and comprehensive exposition of grand and upright pianos and player -pianos ever established permanently; it is a museum, AND IT IS A SCHOOL OF PIANO VALUES. Half a day spent in it provides a valuable education to any one about to purchase a piano. Fourthly, it' is a selling center, where each instrument is priced according to the single standard of WORTH. In buying a Piano you must pin your faith to somebody---either to the maker or the dealer.

Better if you can pin it to BOTH. We are distributors of the CHICKERING, the SCHOMACKER, the EMERSON, the LINLEMAN, the KURTZMANN, the MARSHALL WENDELL, the J. C. CAMPBELL and the celebrated KNABE. As well as these piano-players and player -pianos- The ANGELUS, SCHOthe KNABE-ANGELUS, the EMERSON-ANGELUS, the MACKER-ANGELOPIAN, the LINDEMAN player-piano, the J.

C. CAMPBELL player-piano and the AUTOPIANO. Every instrument sold by us is frankly marked with maker's name. Somebody's reputation--somebody's business welfare--depends on its performance. There are no "masked" pianos.

I No piano is ever offered for sale here unless it possesses qualities vastly more worthy than mere cheapness giving it claim to attention. The quality of mere cheapness has sold many pianos, but not here. Terms within reason may be arranged. Piano Salon, First Gallery, New Bldg. JOHN A WANAMAKER KER A.
