TOLEDO. Nov 21.-The Board OF Revision
presented q report to the City Council last
night OF Investigations that have been secretly
carried on by IL in tho past four months. II
was shown that the most extrsvagant and
reckless practices havo prevailed in the
methods Of each department OF the city and in
the purchase OF supplies. It was shown that
the city was practically without a head: that
firms have habitually had their claims placed
on the city claim ordinance days and some.
times weeks before the goods were delivered.
IL was brought out that n city official whose
name was not given. deposits city cash in the
hank In his own personal account. when IL
should be drawing Interest for the city. An
other pays himself his salary when. In his opin-
ion. It Is due. without regard to warrant or
voucher. In many instances officials have
withheld public m onevsfreceived by them for
weeks and sometimes month";. In stead Of turn
ing the funds into the city depository daily az
provided By tho State law.
The losses to the city by virtue OF these prac.
tees. which have been carried on for a long
time. are estimated at hundreds OF thoueanja
OF dollars. In presenting the report, the Board
OF Revision offered AN ordinance for the All
pointment Of a city Com ptroller who shall
have supervision Of all purchases made by the
city. and TO whom each city official shall make
return daily OF all city moneys received and
eIpended.
