BURLINGTON OFFICERS
ARE INDIGNANT
Declare That supt Morgan Did Them
a Rank Injustice When He Accused
Them of mileage Graft"

Burlington, Jan. 22.--The statement
made by Superintendent D. T. Morgan
of the House of Correction that there
was mileage graft among officers IN
the arrest of tramps and his mention of
Burlington in that connection caused in
dignation among the Burlington officers.
Chief of Police Russell and Sheriff Hor-
ton were more than willing to throw
their books open for inspection and the
result OF the investigation shows that
tie statement made by superintendent
Morgan was uuwarranted and did
rank injustice TO the Burlington officers.
The police are paid salary and what
ever money was made in taking the men
to Rutland went into the city treasury.
When an officer takes a prisoner from
Burlington 10 Rutland he is allodcd Is
cents per mile travel, one way. Tho dis
tanee is figured to be 90 miles, 81 being
on the railroad. one from the Jail in
Burlington to the railway station and
ono from the Rutland station to the
House Of Correction.
At IL cents per mile ON officer gets
S10.95. He gets in addition 50 cents Tor
the mittinms, 50 cents for the copy and
six cents for reading, making a total
OF si14i. If he takes more than one
prisoner be is allowed an additional eight
cents per mile.
The ear fare from Burlington to Rat
land by mileage is sLa4. On the trip
down, II tho officer is taking ono man.
there are two fares to pay, making Il
total Of s26s. Then there Is tho cab
fare from the Jail 20 the station and
from the station in Rutland to the
House Of Correction which adds another
dollar, making total Of sa.6s and then
there is the officers fare home, which
makes tho grand total Of s5.0e.
Subtlactng $500 from $il.41, the
amount which the officer receives, gives
the officer a profit Of se.3p fcr q days
work.

A New York man charges Barre con
Germ with the last. and his conmunica-
tion TO the New York Evening Post is
interesting. 1t follows
To the Editor Of the Evening Post;
Sir; An instance of attempted graft Of
a peculiarly odious kind, which has just

posed. Being an executor Of a will

sents itself TO be in the business Of fur

Barre Police Declare They
Are NOT Guilty Of Graft. /.
BESIDES HAVE NO CHANCE
City Charter Provides That All Of i5
Cents Mileage Goes to City Treasury
and That Officers Get Only
Actual Expenses.

Some things not complimentary 10
Superintendent Morgan III the state
house Of correction were said at the
Barre police station and city court TO-
day. They were called forth bv the
state investigating committee that OFF
GERS in Barre, in common with those IN
ether cities and large towns Of the
state, were concerned in ''lnileage graTt.N
Officials here deny in the rtost emphatic
terms that they are guilty Of graft, and
furthermore declare that it would NOT
be possible for them ii they shad the
desire.
Graft in mileage in the case of the
regular police officers Of Barre il not
possible, for the city charter provides
that the city shall get whatever il re-
ceivcd over the actual expenses of the
officers in committing prisoners to tile
house Of correction Fifteen cents
mile il allowed to the officer for taIsing
a prisoner to Rutland The entire amount
is paid to the city judge and ii by him
turned over to the city treasury. Then
the officer making the commitment pre-
sents his bill for actual expenses incur
red in the trip to Rutland to the city
council. The bill ii examined and if
proper allowed, Thus ii can be seen that
there is no possibility for the mileage
graft which Supt. Morgan put up to the
regular officers OF Barre.
Besides, the number Of commitments
from Barre is so ineonsiderable that
graft in this line would be unheard OF.
Supt. Morgan declares, too, that officers
take advantage of the chance and rake
in prisoners at the least provocation. To
allow fair Judgment, the lists Of COM
mitments to the house Of correction from
the Barre city court for the past five
years are here appended:
1901.
Intoxication three, breach Of the peace
one, tramping one, open and gross lewd-
ness one, keeping liquor one, total seven.
