II the Mayor appoints him aud he docs
not do right he would soon discharge
him, as he is known to have discharged
several men on his force who did not do

there are men In Office who are disgrace

he is.

Mr.. Hawkins said he was opposed I,
the manner In which the rider wa
passed, but he didn't Sc what was to b.

propriating money for the lnteroeptin
sewer ol condition that that gtutlenal
would not attem It 10 divide the city
moneys among the banks. The bill wa
gotten through the Legislature by Chi
cancTy ana fraud. City holicitor Turne
has been charged with the act and so ha
MIR. Carpenter. II u man is innocent o
the charge II will not hurt him to be In
We, tigatel; II he is guilty he should bi
brought before the bar OF justice.

favor Ot economy and opposed to
worthless expenditure OF money, but II
this case he thought Council was called
upon 10 protect itself. He did not eet
how Council could pursue any other hon
orable course than TO fully investigate tht
matter.
Tue rider was smuggled through tn,
Legislature and the guilty parties ehoul,
be exposed. The me N bers OF the Legs
lature profess TO know nothing alb out lhi
