THE STAPLES INVESTIGATION
1t May Cost Directly and Indirectly Some
$1,000.

Now that the extended investigation
into the Commission of Public Works has
been concluded, those in position to know
something IF the costs are beginning to
make estimates. There can be no doubt
that the expenses, both direct and indi-
rect, will be very large.
So far the bills actually amount to
about $50. These bills are for pay of
stenographers and an agent who investi-
gated testimony. Next in order will be
the special, attorneys bill. There is some
doubt whether the city will pay it or
whether Mr.. Rounds will. Mr.. Rounds
has declared that the city will have to
pay it. and it would not be surprising if
he was right. General Mattocks devoted
much time to the case, and conducted it
with vigor and ability. His bill will of
course not be small, whoever pays it.
Then there is the large crowd of witness
es who have attended and testified both
before the committee and before the full
board. 1t is probable that they are en-
titled to pay..and will be paid. OF course
the cost of this as well ssas the lawyer s
tee is as yet uncertain. Some of the city
officialsrthink the whole direct cost of the
inestvigation will be $1,000 or $500.
The direct expense, however, is not the
largest item. The indirect cost of the
monkey ing'' that has been going on
with the department of Public Works
must be much larger. For the three
months or more that the investigation
has been under way discipline has been
practically impossible. Some of the men
regarded Mr.. Staples as doomed to dis
missal. and were not slow in getting In
