1t is unfortunate that Council, in
stead of knowing what pretty much
everybody else knew-that the business
methods at the City Hall are unneces-
sarily cumberous, and that many errors
have occurred in the past, and must
necessarily occur in the future, so long
as humanity is falliable and the hui
man mind imperfect-did not institute
such an open enquiry as should have
developed the errors, mistakes, dupli-
cations. omissions, carelessness and i'm
prophecies at the gas Office, and then
have applied an adequate remedy, in
stead of placing everyone ever connect
ed with this department. under a pre-
liminary cloud of suspicion, which a
star-chamber inquisitiOn was to deepen
into open imputatiOns of criminality.
1t is dOubly unfortunate that any news
paper should have found in the result
attained a cause for dOuble-leaded re-
ioicing, and have added TO the reflec-
tons upon individuals, guilty OF no
crime. The Register and the general
public. in the light of information OBJ
tanned yesterday. believes that the
members of the Gas Boards of the city
and the officials serving under those
Boards have been honest, and it will
take more evidence than has yet been
adduced to create belief TO the con-
trary.
Upon reflection and an inspection of
the original document at the gas office,
yesterday. Mr.. A. J. Schultze said he
had not written the 1898 coal contract,
but that he did write the contract for
1891 and that Mr.. George Hell, the
then Secretary, made copy OF the
1891 contract for 1893 The 1891 con-
tract called for the delivery OF coal at
the Hempfeld yards, and it seems to
have been the intention of the Board
to have the 1893 contract Identical in
this particular. but in some manner at
present unknown the contract was so
worded as TO call for delivery at the
works. and was signed by all the parties
i'm that shape. No one imagined, how
ever. that the coal was to be delivered
at the works by Mr.. Floersheim, and
the Board went on paving for the
hauling as usual. Yet this is made the
basis of a claim that somebody stole
quite a number Of thousands of dollars,
and that there was "a divyy' by the
beneficiary with people in the employ
of the city-meaning members Of the
Gas Boards or their officials. This is
too slender a foundation for public ac-
cusations of robbery. % All the gen
temen involved in the report of the
Committee are reputable citizens. and
are Of right entitled at the very least
to belief in their innocence until their
guilt has been shown beyond doubt.
The Register and the public believes
there is no guilt attaching TO any one.
and that any attempt to prove it Will
fail wholly. Yet the Committee and
Council must make the attempt, or be-
come the butt of the community.
