WILL 1T BE THOROUGH?

If the proposed investigation of ex-
Aid. FranklIn's alleged peculiar rela-
tons with the building Inspectors Office
shall turn out to be full, free and fair
one, aud not mere whitewaShing af-
fair, as is so often the case in matters of
this kind, then the city council will
have performed salutary service for
the public-but anything less than a
complete finding out of all the essential
facts IN connection with, the alleged
transaction will be little short of farce
and will be far from satisfying the pub
lie or the demands of justice.
In the first place, the attorney select
ed to represent the city council in this
investigation should be one against
whom the imputation could not rest,
either on personal or political grounds,
of being DESTROYS to shield Aid. Frank
lin from just exposure, if guilty.
In the second place, the investigating
body should have the power to compel
the attendance of Witnesses, to compel
them to tell the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth, and to lnflict adequate
penalties in case witnesses fail to CON-
ply with these requirements.
If the city council possesses these
powers, we'll and good; if not. it seems
difficult to see how a full investigation
can we'll be had, if any of the important
witnesses should be unwilling ones. In
the latter event they would appear if
they saw fit, and say as little or as much
as they might choose, we'll knowing that
no punishment could be inflicted should
they refuse to answer pertinent ques-
tons.
In the present case it is not unlikely
that important testimony might not be
secured if the powers of the city council
are insufficient in the matter of COM
pellIng witnesses to testify. ~
1t is well that this matter should be
thoroughly looked into, to the end that
any investigation which is had may be
thorough one. All witnesses should
be put under oath, and the testimony
written down and preserved.
Let it be an investigation that will in
veStigate.
