sion last Wednesday night heard the report of tho

BILE that others were concerned whose guilt will
be made to appear as the investigation proceeds.

your committee without comment save 10 sny that
1t shows at least fagrant derelicion of duty upon
the part of the city engincer In inspecting and APP
proving of the same when 1t must have been ap-
parent TO him that the contract had not been COM
piled with"

other matters and things connected with the city
government which involve the faithful and hon.
est discharge of duties by various city officials
