INVESTIGATIONS
THAT WILL RESULT IN A GREAT
DEAL OF GOOD.
Tax Payers Hope That the Invsstiga-
tion Fever win Become Epidemic
and Apply to all the Commis-
sioners in the State.

There seems to he disposition
throughout the state to investigate county
com missioners, with reference to con.
tracts aud other matters, and some Of
them are seeking the fire escapes" to
get away from the Investigations. AT
any rate, 1t is feared by soms commits
sioners throughout the state that the in
vestigations will become epidemic. In
Cuyaghogs county the condition seems
to have been bal. The committee was
shocked at some Of the revelations Of the
business methods employed by the guar
dams of the county purse strings.
The Brooklyn bridge aud the Chsgrin
river bridge, have been completed during
the period embraced In the report, and
the examiners have taken pains to criti.
else the commissioners for what Is termed
the excessive expenditure of money on
these contrats above the estimated cost
of each. The examiners will say that
there is no sense in having bridges cost
nearly twice as much as their estimated
cost, and will hint that this is careless
manner In which to handle the public
funds of the county. The changes In the
original plans of the Central Armory
building and the cost of the structure
above the original estimate will also be
mentioned. This piece Of work, it is
said, will be denounced In strong terms.
Another item of expenditure which
the examiners did not like is that which
includes tie repairs on the court-houses.
The committee expect to show that the
commissioners expended thousands of
dollars belonging to the people Of the
county without advertising Cor a single
bid. The committee will refer the COM
missioners to the Ohio law which de-
clares that any job TO cost more than
$1,000, must be let to the lowest bidder
They expect to prove that the commits
sioners have failed to heed this statute
time and time again. 1t will be seriously
recommended that this kind Of work be
stopped at once.
Not only does this Recommendation
refer to repairs on the county buildings,
but also to work done on county roads.
1t is claimed that favorite contractors
have been given contracts without any
advertisement of bids. The names of
some Of these contractors will be given,
aud the commissioners will be strongly
advised to let oil bids in proper man.
ner.
The plumbing done in the court houses
last summer will come in for vigorous
criticism. The report will ask few
pertinent questions as to the smoant of
this kind of work done. 1t will be off, |
cially said In the report that the com
missioners have spent too much money
In plumbing. On this subjsct the com.
missionesrs Will once more be urged to
ObeV the law in The letting of contracts.
Many other subjects will be touched
upon by the examiners, and these sub
ects will probably not be very pleasant
10 the commissioners.
In fact, the Investigation seems to be |
4 pretty good thing and will result in
The correction of many evils. Some tax
payers are hoping that Investigations
will be had in every county in the state.

When a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries physician. Con.
sumptives would never die if they could
regain their usual weight In fact there
would be no consumption if there would
be no wasting Of the system The cause
of this loss of flesh is failure to pro.
