sion too important or too obscure To
escape the close scrutiny OF the in
spectors.
Every man available for that pur-
pose IS to be put to work. There is to

those OF extravaganza. collision.
favoritism. and. in fact. almost every
known form OF Official and political ir-
regularity
Many OF these complaints are anony-

contractors. But IL is said that sum
GENTLY grave charges OF an authentic
and specific character have been re-
ceived to compel a rigid investigation
