TO the Editor Chicago Eagle:


Dear Sir-rhc papers during the past
few days have been full of stun con-
ccrning some proposed investigation of
the County Treasurer's office and books
by the County Board. In this cOniiec-
tiOn It has been announced that u ccr'
tain high.priced firm of accountants IL
to be retained to do the work. Now.
what would like to know Is just what
the amount Is that IL proposed shall
he paid out to this firm and what, If
anything. the saving will be.
Judging by the experience the city
had In the same line of work not long
ago, do not believe the saving will
amount to the cost of the work. An
other thing | would like TO know Is
whether or not this work was let out
by contract and whether the lowest
responsible bidder got the work. These
questions are OF Importance to all citi'
zens. and more especially to your cor
respondent, who Is
\ TAXPAYER.

city tho same old trouble and expense
to the public of suspect notices. rcvis
ion of the registry. etc. Now. my Inn
preston Is, ana have stated my view.
through your columns on this subject
before. that all of this trouble. annoy
ance and expense might be saved II
the city Health Department would only
rlgidly enforce the sanitary laws
There are on the municipal code to-day
laws and ordinances which prescrib,
what the sanitary arrangements OF hO
tells, lodging houses. etc, shall bc
These laws are very plain ana explicit
ana l believe that IL their enforcement,
was insisted upon to the letter. u
would result In the cleaning out of the
cheap lodging houses In the rlvel
wards. ana the abOllshment of these
pest holes would be the longest ant
most decided step that could be takei
In the direction Of doing away witt
election frauds and the registration cl
buns and other suspects who infcs
these localities: I cannot imagine VIII!
the health ordinance Is not enforced
rIgidly against these cheap, unsanitar!
roOsting places for vagrants. Your
