Bonds Are MOI Lost
QUESTION NOW A SERIOUS ONk

Now that the Bond Committee Of City
Council is determined TO investigate what
has become of the bonds of the directors
of the Street ana Sewer Department. the
puhlic has become interested in the sub
iect az TO who were the hondsmen Of the
directors, if the hondsmen know what
has become of the sureties to which they
affixed their signatures, or if in case the
directors were required to furnish new
bonds. If they would I've willing to be-
come again responsible for the acts Of
the individual members Of the depart
ment.
Ayers S. Webster. president of the de-
partment, was appointed about five years
and was properly bonded. As Mr..
Webster is confined to his home by an at
tack OF illness il is impossible to see him
and ascertain who his sureties are. II
was understood. however, that Charles
+. Duhell and William Baxter were twO
of the men. but neither of them could re-
member who the third party was.
When Mr.. Dubel was asked today
that in the event of Mr. Websters ori
ginal bond being lost would he he willing
10 again become his surety. he replied
that he did not intend 10 sign two blonde
for the same person for the same office
He knew nothing of the disposition of tn,
original bond.
William Baxter said there was nc
doubt that some one knew what had he
come of the securities, and he had moi
given the subject Of signing another bond
a thought IL was understood that John
T. Dickey was the third surety for Mr.
Webster. hut this Mr.. Dickey denies.
Patrick Fahey's sureties are Joseph l.
Carpenter. Jr and John A. Cranston.
Mr.. Carpenter. although thinking i
strange that Mr.. Fahey's bond had beer
mislaid 80 soon after his appointment
refused TO discuss the subject.
Mr. Cranst0n was equally ignorant o
the whereabouts Of Mr.. Fahey's hon,
and expressed the opinion that although
Mr.. Fshev had not asked him TO again
become his surety he hoped that h,
would rot do so.
James d. Carter's bOndsmen are A
