GRAFT REACHES $4,000.
Mulcting Of Water Works Was Wide.
spread,


Dubuque.-Since the disclosures of
widespread and what is believed to
be wholesale graft in the municipality
owned water works plants have been
made, it is figured that not less than
Sill 900 have been diverted from
their legitimate channels and turned
into avenues that meant a net loss
for the city. This result is arrived
at by taking the earning capacity of
the plant four years ago as basis
and adding the income that should
have resulted to the deficit The
plant at the time the late board of
trustees was ousted, more than
month ago. was in debt $4,000 in
round numbers.
While it is not likely that even the
surface has been scratched, there is
enough known to warrant the state
ment that what would have repre-
sented handsome profit to the plant
has been converted into a deficit
through the Vaccinations of high
grade thieves.
Arthur Macarthur, for seven years
superintendent of the plant, has con-
fessed he has taken funds belonging
to the city ever since he has held
his office. Seventeen hundred dollars
is the showing of the shotage reveal
ed in his case up to the present time.
There are dozen pages in the con-
sumers' ledger at the water works
office missing. One of these Is the
record of the Great Western rail-
ways payment. A thousand dollars
is known to have been paid in the
cancelled checks for which are in
the hands of the company, and for
which no accounting is made And
the investigation is going forward in
secret.

thoroughly and SOW on both sides
of the road. Let every farmer do
this and sow the highway sur
rounding his land and in two or
