COLER, Bird S .:


Broker and former comptroller of the City of N. Y .; born Oct. 9, 1867, Cham- pagne, Ill .; early education obtained in the public schools of Brooklyn, and sub- sequently completed at the Polytechnic In- stitute and the Andover Academy; on leaving the Andover Academy he enter- ed his father's banking house and de- monstrated his qualifications to become a member of that firm, in which he was taken, as a partner, soon after attaining his majority; he devoted a great deal of his time, apart from the ordinary routine of the banking business, to the special study of financial and municipal law, and was speedily recognized in Wall St. as an authority upon these vital and intricate subjects. This gave him a remarkable prestige as the representative of his bank- ing house, and one of the youngest and most active members of the Stock Ex- change, and in a few years he came to be regarded as one of the most farsighted and shrewdest of financiers in N. Y. City; in 1891 he identified himself with Brook- lyn's political affairs, and in 1892 was nominated for alderman-at-large, and al- though defeated, he ran so far ahead of uis ticket that he was looked upon as one of the most prominent rising young Democrats of Brooklyn. He organized the Young Men's Democratic Club of the Twenty-third Ward of Brooklyn, and


when the office of comptroller, under the original Charter of Greater New York, was being considered, it was conceded that the strongest man in Brooklyn should be selected as the candidate the Democ- racy nominated him, and it was a most justifiable selection, as he was elected by the largest vote given for any candidate on the ticket, and he carried the Twenty- third Ward, which had always previously been the Republican banner ward, by the largest majority ever cast there, thus showing his great popularity among those who knew him best of both parties; his election was most fortunate for the peo- ple and the taxpayers of the five boroughs consolidated into the new city. When his term was ended and he gave up his office he was universally complimented as hav- ing been one of the best and most effi- cient comptrollers the City of New York ever had; he not only administered the af- fairs of the comptrollership with ability and honesty, but in several instances when the treasury was illegally attacked by what he regarded as piratical methods, and no funds were available to defend the city's interests, he advanced the mon- ey necessary to maintain the city's rights out of his private means; was nominated for governor on the Democratic ticket in 1902, but was defeated by a close margin. Residence, 224 Ilancock St., Brooklyn, office, 34 Nassau St., N. Y. City.
