REPORT OF MAYOR'S EXPERTS For Years He Took a Certain Amount From Eaoh Man's Collections What Bardsloy Retained. Philadelphia, Sep. 8. The Bardsloy Investigating committeo met last night in tho Council Chamber and resumed their probing luto tUa affairs of the late City Treasurer and his peculiar methods of administering the duties of his office. The committee devoted their ottentiou to examining tho muglstrutes who col lected tho delinquent mercantile taxes for 1889 and 18S0. Tho exports appointed by Mayor Stuart presented a report of tua collections ns mado by the magistrates for those years and the returns mode by them. They re ported that by Bardsley's books it ap peared that for each year Bardsloy took 3,150, and that in 1889 ha apparently paid $1,575 of this tmm to II. U. Qrinin Of Harrisbnrg. In 1800 lis also paid over 1.075 to some party unknown, i-acu year Burdsley had deducted $850 from aeh of the magistrates which made tho total sum of $3,150, half of which Bards loy appropriated to his own use, and the other half was turned over to some ono else. All tho runclttraUs. with tho exception of two, who had collected tho dollnquent taxes for 1S89 and 1890 were In attond ance at the meeting of the committeo and wero nlaced on the fctand. Magistrate William 11.

Some two months after He was Summoned tO Bardsley's OfilCO With tllO othor magistrates and received a check for the amount due him, loss $350, which Bard3lev kept. Bardsley told him that tho total costs wore lumped and divided into olght parts so that the constables would all receive an equal amount for their work. The amount deducted camo out of the lies of the constables. The deduction wns not the result of any agreement with Bardsley and he nevor received a dollar of tho money himself or paid a dollar for his appointment as a delinquent coiector. Magistrates Smith, Severiu, List, Eonev. Hnckott. Pullinger and Uundell all testified to tho same facts, but their I testimony brought out nothing that was not told before. BELANQER WAS MURDERED.
