draw the whole amount of the dead
mems wages. Twesd's bureau, the
Department of Buildings, has the
largest amber of sinecures. In the
Finance Department, besides the month
lly stipend paid, many of the clerks
receive as much more for collecting
arrears. &c. One Starkweather aver
ages about $4,000 month as Collector
of Assessments. Geo. h. E. Lynch
receives 81, 1866 per month, filling
three offices. Many Of these officials
, are related to the controlling powers.
, Starkweather is the father-in-law OF
Gov. Hoffman. Politicians of the worst
and most ignorent order are found scat
, tered throughout the roll as sinecures,
which includes retired rum-sellers, bar
: room loafers, ex-convicts, gamblers,
hruisers. and other bad attaches. 1t
