They Show an ovsrcharge Of Easily
One Hundred Per Cent.
Civil Engineer E. H. Bartl. Of Scrsn-
ton. who has been engaged surveying
the work performed by Andrews d
Healey on Railroad street, aud tine
grading and opening of Daley and La
grange streets by Contractor Nolan,
has made his reports. Mr.. Bartls re-
ports are accompanied by three maps,
one each of Railroad, Daley and La
grange streets. Without entering into
the details of his measurements of
Railroad street, his report shows that
the actual amount Of work done, Civ
ing the contractors In all cases the
benefit of doubt, amounts to tritls
over $500 The contractors claimed
81. 74O for the work, and their bill was
approved and ordered paid and an
order drawn for the same by c0uncil,
but Mr.. Maloney has had an injunc-
tion served preventing its payment.
The retaining wall which was built
at the instance Of the council was
found to be nothing more than skele
ton from beginning to end. Luckily,
however, it has not been accepted by
the council. Mr.. Bartl's measurement
of Daley street shows that the actual
cost of work done in opening that
thoroughfars amounts to $193 So in.
stead Of 1888, the amount claimed by
Contractor Nolan.

smarting under the bare-faced fraud

payers Of this town, in paving Railroad

his indignation in the following pub
lished card:
1T looks very much like another
piece of that official villainy that the
people of this community have had to
endure within the last five years, and
especially within the last three years.
Were it not that we have become so ac'
customed to this kind of villalny, the
scoundrels under whose official sanction
these things are done, would be branded
and utterly dsspssd as public robbers.
BE assured there is reckoning day
coming These public officials who
have sought positions that they may
occupy vantage ground. have bSen
treasuring up wrath until the day OF
wrath, and the day is not far distant
when they must reap what they have
sown. l am growing hopeful, from
the fact that there is coming w in our
midst a generation of progressive
young men, possessing more noble
conception OF citizenship, and higher
tone of moral character.
These, together with the full and
earnest support of every other good
citizen, eau, and l firmly believe will
on the Goth of February next, deliver
our borough from the curse of the
boodlers, and down them 80 deep po-
liticaly and socially, that they shall
die without hope. Down with the
boodlers, and let there be no nonsense
