Irregularities IN the oity's Accounts Ag
EregAiing s3,OOO,OOO.
CHICAGO, January "A Cleveland,
o., special says that morning paper pub
ishes q statement submitted by an expert
bOokkeeper, showing irregularities in the
old accounts of the city Of Cleveland az
gregating shout S3OOO,OOO Nearly all
Of this money was paid out by the city
withou. the approval OF the Council, al
though the laws OF the State Of Ohio re-
quire that every claim be included ia the
regular claims ordinance. The publica-
ton creates a g,eat sensation. Near
ly year aga the city
Council authorized the Board Of Revision
20 examine the books relating to the city's
fnancial history. Il WAS Necessary IN the
prosecution o. the work 20 look over the
books in the City TreasuTer's oflice, aud
the enclosures made we:e startling in the
sx RENE. These we're limited al IN the re-
port OF the exports to the Board Of Re
vision. When the latter made their report
10 the Board Of Councilmen, however,
slight, if any reference was made 30 them.
The experts signed ths report TO the Board
Of COuncilmen under protest, and only
after il had been repres -nted TO them that
these irregularities had besn inves-
tgated before. Last night Ju-
lius Lembeck, one Of the
experts sent the Council Communication
asking that his name be stricken from the
record saying that he bad been induced TO
sign the same uuder false representations;
that the report in question was not COM
ple,s; that slariug irregularities had oc-
cured and that it given access to the
books again ne would make full expos
ore. free Of cost, TO the city. Mr.. Lem
hsck's communication was referred back
20 him with the insinuatiou attached to II
that the matter had better be allowed to
rest After the Council cdjourned, eX
President Lsmbsck gave the Presi-
dent 6 complete statement OF the ir-
regulsrlties occurring during the per
iod named. Il showed that So, ,0O0,-
600 bad been paid out without the ap-
proval Of the Council, and in most pecu-
liar manner. The entries were all msde
in misleading and uncertain way.
Tee most startling feature Of the report,
however, lea table showing that 81 600, 600
or s. 900. 600 we're paid out, and asserted
to have been paid out without any entry
book to show to whom the money had
been paid, or for what purpose. A pub
lie meeting will probably be called TO take
sctiOn, if the Council ignores the startling
contained in the report.
