City Comptroller Robbins CON
fessedn that he had been holding out
OF the city revenues for eight years.
and now has 100000 in bank TO
the credit Of the city. No one knew
his secret but the mayors who have
served IN that time.
Robbins said he knew the alder
men would spend the money II they
had 1t, and he took 1t on himself to
save for rainy day In the clty's af-
fairs. or perhaps. for new city hall.
The aldermen, instead OF being
pleased were furious. for they recent
ly hoated bond issue OF $4,000 to
rebuild the water works.
Robbins withheld the money COM
Ing TO the city each year from the
township road fund. and none of the
aldermen knew the city got revenue
from that source.
