If Bids We're Not Invited an
s.. Investigation Will Be
Held.
THE CITY FURNISHES TIE FUNDS.
Another Visit to Inspect the Books
viii Be Made in the Near
Future.

:. The actions of the Board of Park Com
.missioners, which consists OF Messrs.
seph Austin, Irving NJ. Scott and John
Rosenfeld, are under investigation by the
. Grand Jury and rigid inquiry will be in
nstituted in the near future.
L recently came to the ears OF certain
mem bers OF the Grand Jury that large
contract which has been under con sidera-
ton by the Park Commission for some
time had been let by private contract
without public bids having been invited.
The contract was for the lighting plant
that has been decided on for the park,
and consists of boilers, engines, dynamos
and swItchboards to furnish stone
building 50x30 ieet that has been erected
adjoining the water pumping station of
the park.
The mem bers of the Grand Jury who
advocate the investigation are of the
opinion that as the municipality fur
nishes the sinews of war with which the
park and its paraphanala are maintained
every opportunity of saving money should
be observed, and that if The contracts, for
the electric plant have been let without
bids the matter should be inquired into
ilnme diately.
The jury visited the park on Saturday
last for the purpose OF inquiring into the
subject, but as the secretary OF the Com
missioners was absent it was not possible
a. that lime to obtain view OF the books
which would have explained the. matter
and the investigation was put over until a
yiuture date.
! Some time during the next few days
another visit Will be made to the park and
the question settled TO the satisfaction of
the jury.
Should it be proved that the contract,
which amounts to several thousand dol
lars, was let without BIDS, the mem bers
of the comm isslon as well az Superinten-
dent John McLaren and Secretary V V.
Bloch will be summoned before the jury
to explain why such course was pur-
sued.
The Board of Supervisors in fixing the
tax levy for the present year granted 6
cents on each 500 or valuation for the
maintenance OF Golden Gate Park, there
by raising fund OF $217, 900. 1t is out oil
this amount that the money for the new
electric plant must come. 49,.

jumped down and helped out mis- pas.
