ers discover that there is q false entry of
nearly sixteen thousand dollars, the Sidewalk
being charged that enormous sum more than

that the surveyor of the District having
special charge of that matter, made that
entry, and he has repeatedly declared that he
dld so puTpOsely, justifying IL on the ground
That no loss was sustained by the District, In
whose service he was engaged. By thus fal-
s1fy1ng the record he imposed an undue bur-
den on the impoverished tax payers.
In his card he seeks to share with Others

that trust.
And what a commentary on popular suff-
rage in the cities, Is his boast or intimatiOn
that when restored to the District IL will make
