The Result OF Investigation or the Fire
Departments Affairs.
The Commissioners Of Accounts yesterday
submitted to Mayor Gilroy their report on the
Investigation OF the charges brought against
the Board OF Fire Commissioners By former
Commissioner Gray. The report says that Mr.
Gray's charges have no foundation In fact It
continues that since Feb. l. when the investi-
CATION OF the Fire Department was begun, all
the books, vouchers. pay rolls. and other
perta
All Mr.. Gray's charges about exorbitant
PRICES paid Tor coal OIL CRATE bars horses.
and other supplies were shown to be unfound-
Cd. Witnesses were examined as to the prices
OF all these things. who testified that the prices
paid were fair ones. Mr.. Gray made In ali ten
charges. In the report each one IL taken up
In turn and disproved. In short, the Com mi 3,
sioners OF Accounts found that all Mr.. Gray's
charges OF exorbitant prices involved only
Sl.oOO. and In view Of the fact that the Fire
Departments spends $1,000 900 annually the
report states that it would hardly do to have a
long and expensive Investigation.
As to the charge that a protest attached to n
voucher by MIR. Gray had been torn of the
report leaves that to the District Attorney lie
also scouts the idea that Mr. Gray hadn't been
notified OF all meetings and Of all action tax en-
by his fellow Com missioners.
In conclusion the report states that IL IA
not the intention to drop this m latter and MIR
Gray's charges will be included In the regular
