The utter hopelessness of any astemrt to
secure honesty and fairness IN tho award OF
contracts for furnishing supplies to the
charitable institutions Of Cook County was
demonstrated by yesterdays proceedings Of
the Boartl OF Commissioners. IIaving gone
through tho farce Of advertising for pro-
rosals, the Hing has repeated its annual
rascatity, and proceeded to pass around the
contracts without regard TO the bids received.
A notable instance is found In the awar,l OF
the uleat-coutract to n Hing favorile at q
price which will amount TO from $4,000 to
$4,000 in e1cess Of tho figures Of n lower
AMI perfectly responsible bidtlcr,-an inex-
cusablc, indcfensible, outrageous steal. The
courts hold that the taxpayers are powerlcss
10 prevent this barefaccd plumber, and the
only remedy rests with tho Legislature.
Advocates Of tho bill for tho election Of tho
entire Board Of County Commissioners upon
q general ticket will find good argument in
