LAVISH WITH MONEY
CITY ENGINEERS DEPARTMENT
BEAT ALL RECORDS FOR En-
PENDITURE LAST YEAR
FUNDS EXHAUSTED IN AUGUST
Committee Appointed to Investigate
Charges Made by Pope Due to
Report, but Several Mem
bers Refuse to Sign.

According to those in a position to
know, the engineering department last
year spent $4,000 more than it ever did
before and yet the fund was exhausted
to all intents and purposes before Au-
gust had drawn to a close.
Two months before the close Of the
sprinkling season, the wetting Of the
streets had to be abandoned, and about
the same time the street sweeping force
was reduced. This shortage it is said,
was due to experiments, so costly, it is
claimed. that care will be taken not to
repeat them again.
In an indirect way, the attention Of the
committee named by the council to in
qufre into the truth of the charges pre-
ferred by former Bank Examiner Pope.
has been brought to the fact that thR
names of several men were carried on
the department pay rolls, whose resi-
denceS are in states other than Mime
sofa. They were all supposed to be en-
ployed on street work, but others drew
their pay. One of these men for whom
it is said checks were drawn lives in
Montana.
The report of the investigation COM
mittee is due for presentation before the
council this week, but as a number OF
the members have announced their in
tention of refusing to sign it. it is pos
sible that it will be sent to the com
tA'lSNCC On SlI60IS ana duOIneF lnVeSJlSa-
ton started.
The report of Mr.. Pope says $1,7OO of the
clty's money is unaccOunted for and
some one will have to pay it. City En-
gineer Claussen says unless it be swan
sens shortage, he finds every cent ac-
counted for and he leaves the depart
ment with clear conscience
Street Commissioner Steeg, who will be
succeeded by Patrick Gleason, also says
he is confident that the city has lost
nothing. He claims to have made q
thorough examination and finds that
many of the aftidavits given to Gen. Pope
were not true
Despite these statements, however.
some of the members Of the council re-
fuse to think that Gen. Pope was
wrong in his assertions and until shown
otherwise, will refuse to accept any So
called report from the legal department.
One alderman is credited with saying
that he thinks Mr.. Claussen was a good
engineer, but he placed too much con
fidence in his men, and did not take suf-
hcient cOgnizance of what was going on
in his department.
