contractor, this contractor. as is claimed
being the actual head of the Office. The
other being only in nominal possession,

port, has been in the hands of this con-
tractor for some time, and he has had the
power to give himself contracts, and dis
charge aud appoint men, so that substan-
tally the office has been in the hands of men
who have carried it on in a manner no doubt
taxpayers The question of the truth or
falSity of these charges is for Won to pass
upon-I cannot. If it is true that this de
partment was turned over as stated, there
has been 4 most wicked and criminal act
committed, which demands prompt action
through your hands of other inVes:iga-
tionS into charges that are being made.
But this need not retard you from taking
steps. The Mayors investigation is to de-
terIninv whether or not removals from
Office shall be made. Your investigation
will be to decide whether or not the crimi-
nal law has been violated. If there has
been, you must bring the guilty party or
parties before this tribunal. If you find
, these charges of corruption to be well
founded, you will then make investigation
as to all concerned in it, for all who might
have taken part are equally guilty
