New York, NY , October 31st, 1868, Issued check for $166.66 issued to and signed by William M. Tweed ("Boss Tweed") for salary as supervisor. Blue on white with New York Arms on top left, XF condition. William Magear Tweed ÐBossÓ Tweed, was an American politician most notable for being the "boss" of Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in the politics of 19th century New York City and State. Tweed's greatest influence came from being an appointed member of a number of boards and commissions, his control over political patronage in New York City through Tammany. Tweed was convicted for stealing an amount estimated by an aldermen's committee in 1877 at between $25 million and $45 million from New York City taxpayers through political corruption. He died in the Ludlow Street Jail.
