HEATING THE JAIL.

From all the evidence thus far
adduced, and from the standpoint OF
business ethics and good clean admin
istration of public affairs, the contract
let for heating the new jail subjects
those responsible for the deal to pub
lie censure. In another column OF TO-
DAVIS FREE PRESS we publish letter
from Mr.. Hasey, of the Pond q Hasey
Co.. heating and ventilating engineers
of Minneapolis, which reviews the re-
lationship of some Of the bids very
pointedly, and places Archltec6
Gerlach and the county commission
ers in a very unenyiable light.
Mr.. Hasey contendS-and he is very
practical engineer OF reputation
that while there is technical differ
ence between Mr.. Understands bid
and that of Mr.. Neopil, the results at
tanned in the volume of heat furnished
would be the same, and the commits
sioners, therefore, in letting the con-
tract to Mr.. Neopil, paid precisely
S2O5 in excess of what home concern
offered it for.
What would be thought of an in
dividual who would throw his money
away in such manner? And how
much worse is it for officials, sworn to
protect the peoples interests, to
squander money placed in trust in
their hands?
And there is another point aside
from paying out 5000 or more in ex-
cess of what a home concern offered
to furnish equal service, that is worth
considering. Every man in business
in Mankato, and In the county, for
that matter, pays taxes into the
county treasury for the construction
of county buildings, building roads
and bridges and generally for the sup
port of all matters connected with
county matters, while outside parties
dOnOt contribute one cent for all these
essentials. In common reason, every
thing being equal, home interests
should be first considered, and doubly
so when, as shown by Mr.. Hasey, the
home concern will furnish the object
sought at a considerable saving in
money to the taxpayers. If this mat
ter has not already gone too far, steps
should be taken to issue an injunction
against the contamination of this con-
tract until the matter can be investi-
gated to the bottom, and to get at the
bottom facts disinterested and COM
petent engineers should be brought in
to give evidence that the truth of the
controversy may be reached.
If Architect Gerlach and the county
commissioners can Justify their &C
tion after an impartial investigation,
the FREE PRESS will be more than
well pleased, and it truly hopes that
the gentlemen will be able to vindi
Gates themselves from what now ap-
pears to be unjustifiable favoritism.

the first man in each lap TO count as
many points as there are men in the
team, the second one less, etc. We
look for the Mankato boys TO do them

as a score of young wheelmen in this
city that we might mention. They
have taken some prizes this year at
other places, and more are in store for
them.

DEAR SIR In accordance with your request
we have made thorough examination of the
above named association, beginning with the
annual settlement made February 1st 1891, and
coming up to the annual settlement of February
LIST, 1894. Every payment made during this time
was carefully checked and also every entry in
the journal and ledger and the calculations
made at each semi-annual settlements were gone
over and proved.
The examination established the fact that the
books have been faithfully and honestly kept
with few mistakes A few slight clerical errors
were discovered which can be easily corrected,
but no serious mistakes were found. We would
suggest that this checking be done after each
semi-annual settlement hereafter.
