III abandoning tho system of direct pnr-
chnac and IN returning to the old plan Of
awarding consrncts, tho County Commission
crs in effect declare their unwil!ingness 10
devote the time aud Intention nec6ssary for
tho honest aud economical administration
Of tho county's affairs. Under tllo direct pur-
chaac system tho members of tho Board were
personally and specifically responsible for lilo
qnalisy and the price of tho supplies p,,r-
chased by them; while, under tho contract
system, although tie articles may be obtained
ms chcaply, there is, rs is we'll known, ample
opportunity for fraud in the ,natter both
Of quality md quantity. The lowest bidder
may get the contract, hut he Is not required
to rigitlly live mp to his agreement, and The
poor Of the county, like tho Indinns supposed
to DO Tod by the Government, never get the
supplies nctually paid for. Tho contractor
faitens md tho paurer grows thin In equal
proportion, but tho taxpayer keeps on fur
nishing the regular amount of money. Such
has been the history of the contract system
in Cook County, mud its readoption is proof
rather OF tho neglect and Indifference Of the
Commissioners than Of Tho failure Of ths
method Of direct purchase.
