The following is the official report of evi­dence given in the Supreme Court investiga­tion, Justice S. A. Kellegg presiding, of the Plattsburgh Village affair*, continued from last week.

TESTIMONY OF ACFREO GITBORD.

Mr. Guibord swore that he had been presi­dent of the village of Plattsburgh for the two past years, and is president of the Merchants National Bank. Regarding the unpaid $1000 bond against the village, he said he had no recollection of the board of trustees voting- to pay that bond. When his attention was call­ed to an erasure of four lines in the minutes of the board of trustees, he swore that he knew nothing about it—did not know when the erasure was made, nor who made it, and did" not know that the record to pay the bond was recorded by the clerk. Twelve certifi­cates were shown to him. They were for pay­ment of Mr. Ouimette and amounted to about .•*t;oij, and witness swore they were sigued by iiim— that Ouimette was a constable appoint­ed by the board of health—that he knew of no resolution of the board of trustees appoint­ing him a police constable; that Mr. Ouimette was a debtor to his bank several hundred dollars, but that these drafts were not applied to payment of that debt, but admitted that lie had paid the bank something since his~ap-pnintmeut.

With regard to the unpaid bill of some $3000 of the board ot health witness thought the bank held an assignment of these claims, and thought the treasurer held the notes of H. W. Guibord for which the assignment of the claim was collateral. He also thought the bank held the note of Mannix, and that the bank was now holding these notes for which those claims are collateral.

.Mr. Gutbord swore that he was a member iif the Freilenburg Falls Pulp Co., of which Beuton Turner was president and the wit­ness's son secretary and treasurer, and could not say but thought he himself was a director or trustee of that company; that the capital stock was $100,000, of which he, the witness, owned about 920,000, but did not know how much Mr. Turner owned; that this company-owned some six or eight acre3 of vacant land adjoining S. Catherine, and between Eliza­beth and S. Piatt streets; that last season in 18'jt; two new streets were opened through that land: that those two streets were laid out on the pulp company's land but did not become the property of the village until Jan. 12, l-i'.>7: that he did not recollect any resolu­tion of the board of trustees authorizing the hiving out of these streets, which were called (iraut and .Sherman streets; that there were no houses on either of these streets; that be thought these streets were laid out and work-e 1 during the summer of 1896. that a sewer wa-i put into Sherman street its entire length, but knew of no resolution of the board au­thorizing sewers; that trustee Crete was in Th:irge of the work on these streets; that lie ?u[i'iose 1 that the amouut $1536.55, paid to Crete, as shown by th'- village treasurer's re-P .it. was paid upon witness'certificate. Here the examination proceeded thus:

I >'e>w v o n a n u m b e r of cer t i f i ca tes ; I s h o w vo't o i i e ' X o . 5771 , d a t e d Auaf. l j t h , 189G, that b-ars your signature? Yes sir.

Ti.at is to.Seuecal, superintendent? Yes sir. If says. "In the Crete matter;" is that in

\. mr hand writing? No sir. In whose? Mr. Parmerter's. Was it on there at the time you signed the

cerlilicat"? I don't know. What was the matter that was referred to,

the Crete matter? I don't know. You dou't know what the Crete matter

w a i l N o sir-WaS that audited by the board of trustees

at any meeting'' 1 dou't know; I have no recollection of that and a good many others.

Do vou mean to say that there was a good man v "others in the same way? No sir.

Dill you pay any bills that you knew had not been audited by the whole board; did you attach your signature to any drafts that were not audited by the whole board? Ye3 sir.

Have you signed any such? I think I have and so has anv other board.

Do yon mean to say also that you signed it without knowing what the Crete matter was; did you sign that certificate without knowing what that Crete matter was? I never notic­ed it.

The witness was shown a draft bearing his signature which contained the words "Crete street," and when asked what that meant said he could not tell unless it was a slip of th- pen.

I call your attention to certificate No. 5S58, that bear vour signature? Yes sir.

Was that ever audited by the board; after­ward.-.' Yes sir—not to my knowledge.

That is to pay Israel Crete? Yes sir. Certilieate No. 5832; pay to the order of I.

t ' l . te: was that ever audited to your knowl­edge especially by the board? By the Street eoinmittee and superintendent.

i Vrtiticate >"p. 5S64, pay to the order of I. frete; it was audited by the treasurer's re­port? At the end of the year.

Y< >u paid bills and audited them afterwards? You can't help it.

Y'ou paid bills and audited them afterwards? I sav you cannot help it.

\*uu say that it has been the practice to pay bills and audit them afterwards? There u no other way to do.

Theu that is your practice* Yes air. Y'ou say the same in regard to check No.

5929. Dec. 27, paid to farael Crete? Yea »ir. None of those drafts contain any statement

of when or how they were allowed by the trustees of the village of Plattebnrgh? If yon say so.

They all read the same way; being the amount allowed by the trustees at their meet­ing held on pay roll? Yea air.

At what meeting were these pay rolls given to the board? I can't recollect that there were any; they were paid at tbe end of tbe year.

Witness said he supposed Benton Taraer gave Crete directions to work on Grant and Sherman streets. He Crete leveled np this land of the pany through which the material was haaledfroei a rise of grp—d nearS. Piatt street to ' """' and Sherman, and Mrs Iota ant*.

all read in the same way. being allowed by the trustees at their meetings held on pay roll**" he answered "Yes air." and when ask­ed "At what meeting were these payrolls given to the board?"' he replied "I can't recol­lect that there were any. they were all audit­ed at the end of the year." The testimony of tbe witness showed that it was tbe intention to pot this splendid new town ball on a lot owned bv Ouimette. and in the vicinity of the pulp Cos land through which Grant and Sher­man streets run. The attention of the wit­ness was directed to the matter of the village paving rent for two offices for the recorder.

Mr. Cnrnin: You, as president of the vil­lage, signed a certificate for the payment of the rent of an office for the recorder in the building owner! by the wife of the recorder? I think so. by permission of tfie board.

l>o you understand that two offices are ne­cessary for the recorder? He so made tbe board Iwlieve.

Bv the Court: Where is that resolution of the board? Paid Mr. Hathaway the same way before. • •

Mr. Corbin: I call the attention to the Court of a record of resolution passed at a meeting held, at a special meeting held, Nov­ember' 7th, 1896, present Hon. A. Guibord, President, Turner. White. Hays and Crete.

"The following bills were audited and allow­ed, on motion the recorder was allowed $150.00 a year for office rent, the board was in favor of his disposing of petty cases in the Corporation room, and that cases of greater importance on Clinton street." * *

The Court: Who was present at the meet­ing? Mr. Corbin: Messrs. Turner, Guibord. White, Hays and Crete.

The Court: Any one dissenting? Mr. Corbin: No record of any dissenting.

The matter of employment of attorneys paving them out of village funds to go to Al­bany last winter to help lobby through a bill allowing the village trustees to tax Platts­burgh village $30,000 without a vote of the people was taken up by Mr. Wheeler witness testifying that such was tbe case.

Bv tbe Court: Where do you get any au­thority for that sort ot service on the part of the village? There is a resolutioo-UWEa^. - -

I know, but any law. Suppose yon deter­mined to send a man around tbe world; is there any power in the board to do that sort Of thing?

Mr. Wheeler: Perhaps not Here is tbe thing that the village is directly interested in, the statute provides that they may employ attorney or attorneys whenever in their judg­ment it is necessary.

The Court: I have no doubt that the vil­lage has a right to employ counsel when they get into a question of law to bring an action or defend an action, but to employ counsel to go an attend to the passage of a bill, I don't think the city of New York in its worst days ever audited a bill for procuring legisla­tion ; people don't authorize Boards of Trus­tees to do anything bat certain specific things, they were sent there solely for the purpose of spending certain money in a certain way and keeping a definite account

By Mr. Wheeler: What was the necessity, if you know, tor building that sewer there* There was water in oar cellars, and the street was just the same way, a regular lake.

How many houses were there that were af­fected by this sewer? Well, there was 10 or 15 houses I guess.

By the Court: On what street were those houses? I am speaking about South Cather­ine Street

Those houses were on South Catherine street? South Catherine. * *

The Court: Did the Board of Trustees au­thorize the building of this sewer? I under­stand tbe Board of Health ordered i t

Is that the reason you built it because the Board of Health ordered it? We built it for oar benefit I suppose, to drain that water.

I ask you if tbe Board of Trustees of tii'm corporation ordered that sewer to be built? Part of it was in favor of it, I suppose.

Yon don't know of any order of that board? It was spoke before tbe Board as I can recol­lect I won't say positive.

You didn't have any resolution passed by that Board to do it? I don't remember.

You don't know then? I know it was spoke of before tbe Board.

You don't quite answer my question. Yon don't know of any resolution by tbe Board? Not as I can recollect.

Are you in the habit of doing those things with the corporation money without any au­thority from tbe Board of Trustees? Well, the Committee, I suppose its in their power to do i t

Yon thought that tbe committee could do anything that toe Board could, did you; is that your idea of i t that yon and White and Turner eoaJd do anything you liked in re­gard to sewers without any reference to the Board; is that your idea?- Not exactly; of warns 1 don't—well, 1 can't say.

Yoa cant say It yoa bad any Idea on tbe tsT^ect, or didn't have? WeU that's all I can say; in 1994, tbe Sewer Committee, wherever tfcey wanted to ma • sewer or build a sewer,

As a rule l.onist mendo n.it fear investi­gation. Outlaws do. Why. then, should honest men assume the outlaw's role and try to block investigation?

President Tom Mannix of the Board of Health has foiit:d out "what is law." Ttiat when the Board of Health abates a nuisance, by drain or otherwise the expense is charge­able to the owner of the nuisance and not to the taxpayers. This is i(ujte a valuable ac­quisition to il knowledge box"' of the board. Then, another thins he has learned. That the jurisdiction and jtowersof the Board of Health does not cover the laying out of new streets, building sewers, and leveling up building lots belonging to private individuals, even if such individuals do happen to be Plattsburgh trustees, as was done last summer on the lands or the Fredenbarg Pulp company. This may prove quite expensive, but it is quite valuable, too.

The commonly accepted thewry is that the object of auditing bills is to sec whether they should be paid. But our overseers have changed this. They pay bills against tbe village at once, t without much "attention to details,'' as our village president puts it) and

audit them afterwards in the bulk. This saves lots of worry for the trustees, and lots for their friends who present tbe bills.

board of health, be made, with its reasons I therefor, and thereupon such board of trus-. tees shall immediately convene and consider j Bveh recommendations and, if approved by

such board of trustees, the same shall be cer-; tilled to the State board of health for iu ap-. proval, and, if such recommendations shall

be approved by tbe State board of health, it shall be the duty of tbe board of trustees of such village, to forthwith make such addi­tions to, or alterations in the sewers of such village, and execute such recommendation, and the expenses thereof shall be paid for by said village in the same manner as other vil­lage expenses are paid*' Do you know of any other law on that subject? No sir, I don't.

Isn't that plain to yon? Certainly. What do yon aay then is the law; do you

mean to mislead the public? No sir, not in any particular.

You understand the law, why didn't you publish the law? 1 didn't think that was ap­plicable to the case; I bad no hesitation in publishing that law.

Is there any other law on that subject of sewers? Not that I know of, these sewers were built on tbe recommendation, and not of the requisition of the board of health.

Have you ever given to the board of trus­tees of this village any recommendation in writing? Ye3 sir.

When? it was introduced in evidence here. Any other than that one? No sir. Did that speciry the particular improve­

ments in the sewers that you wished made? Specified several sewers that should have been remedied.

The particular remedy? No sir. Did the board of trustees consider this re-

Commendation? Yes sir. Did they approve of them. They did in

some instances. Did they ever certify to the board of pub­

lic health of the state, these recommendations? I couldn't say.

Did they ever get tbe approval of the State board of health for them? I guess not for­mally.

Then you have a controversy with the board of trustees of this village? I don't know of any controversy.

Do you wish the general public to believe that there is no controversy after publishing this piece here and publishing the letter or Capt Pond, or did you do it for the purpose of destroying tbe reputation of this village board as to decency? I mean to sav that that report of Capt Pond was read to th.* board of trustees, just exactly what it said there.

I ask you if there was any controversy be­tween yon and the board of trustees on the subject of authority and power? I don't know of any controversy.

Do yon think it was fair towards the board of trustees to publish such a piece? I thought it was fair towards the board of health.

I notice that in that certificate you present­ed to the board of $3500, there are some charges relating to tbe registration of births, deaths and marriages at the rate of fifty cents eaeb, are tney not? I don't remember, Judge what tbe charge is.

Isn't there a large sum charged there against tbe corporation? Yes sir.

At the rate of fifty cents apiece? 1 dou't tbink so; I think it is 25 cts.

25 cts. for one officer and 25 cts. for anoth­er? There is but one register.

But tbe officer himself who certifies the notice to the officer—he gets 25 cts. ? Yes sir.

That is in your bill? Yes sir. Did you ever read this law: ' 'The costs of

such registration, not exceeding twenty-five cents for tbe complete registered record of a birth, death or marriage, shall be a charge upon the municipality?" Yes sir.

Is there any other power or any other au­thority for the municipality to pay any other

than that? We considered that referred to tbe registration.

It them any authority In that whereby any­body gets anything else? No noiess that is given in tbe discretion of tbe board of health to complete vital statistics.

Has tbe board any authority under that head? No.

And yoa essttassl that they ought to be ' U cts. bssidss? We found out it was

Mrjr to pay B*MBB in order to get it. a ^ y w a y f j a 4 assetion under the head

It reads tail anay: "Every such local board into all eoaapialou

The specially subsidized organ of our over­seers now admits that tbe trustees "are per haps guilty to the extent of $791." This is on a par with their counsel sneering at the "large sum of $14.92." Something like the Dom-bey wet nurse who plead in extenuation of her baby that "it was such a little one !"

Every dollar accounted for, shouts the Press. Yes, about a couple of thousand t was it?) of them spent in grading streets, laying; s e w e r s a n d l e v e l i n g o p lo ts o n private l ands ,

and another thousand diverted from the pur­pose for which it was voted. And then, how about that $1000 unpaid bond? Then "there are others." which may appear in due time.

Mathematical Question—If the Board borrows $5000 of the Bank, paying about 18 per cent interest, and two months later deposits $11,-000 in the Bank without interest, bow much is the Bank in, and how much are the people out?
