a bill for twenty-eight meals D. s. Dor
rah. OF the Ninth. George c. Claffey.- of the
Tenth, and Patrick Conlin, of the Twelfth,
all swear TO bills for twenty-three meals
In each of their precincts. In the Nine
teenth precinct of the Second ward, where
they were not SO hungry s. y Gold certi-
lies 10 fourteen meals, seven under the
maximum. None of these excessive bills
will probably be allowed by the controller
81. j. Eogt came TO the Journal office on
tuesday to deny emphatically that he pre-
sented bill for twenty-three meals in the
f1fty-ffth precinct Of the Fifth ward The
Dill for twenty-three meals is on file In
the controllers office, however, although
one meals. There is even another side 10
II that Controller Trusler will probably in
vestigate. w. l.. Sullivan, the clerk on the
precinct board, says that the board only
nad fourteen meals and that he made out
the bill for this number. The bill is not the
one presented by Vogt. The election board
only had two meals and was through it's
duties by O'Clock that night. This plan
or charging the city with more meals than
were furnished the election board was not
confined TO a few Of the Sullivan patriots but
was somewhat general, and the controller
may set on foot an examination to find out
VINO nave been guilty of charging for more
meals than were furnished. Among the in
spectors who certified TO bills calling for
twenty-three meals, two more than board
could have possibly have eaten, are w. W.
Spencer, George W. KoontZ, ex-Councilman
