FORGED CITY CERTIFICATES.
Miiwaukee's Treasury systematically
Looted for Years.

IOOIcO TOT vSAVos
Milwaukee, Feb. 22.-The Sentinel
says:
Evidence has been brought to light
which shows that the city Of Milwau-
kee has Systematically been defraud-
ed for years. How much the city
treasury has suffered is not known
exactly, but an investigation which
has been conducted for the past two
days by City Treasurer Billow shows
that the city has been defrauded out
OF sum which is estimated anywhere
from $4,000 to 100000, and it may
even be greater.
The manner in which those impli-
Gated have operated was either to
raise the amounts OF city certificates
given to contractors for work done or
to issue fraudulent certificates, some
times in the name Of living con-
tractors. sometimes in the names OF
men who have been dead for years.
The names OF members OF the board
Of public works and the city comp
troller were forged to these certi1-
Gates.
The discovery was made through an
accident. A representative Of one OF
the trust companies which had been
lOaning money on city certificates
came into the city treasurer's office
with some orders. They fell into
Treasurer Billow's hands and he i'm
mediately discovered they were not
genuine.
