F|NNERAN
MAKES HIS
TART REPLY
West Hammond Official Ex-

Against Him by Auditors
Who Investigator Books
of the Village Recently.


Martin Finneran today submits his
statement regarding his position in the
controversy that has arisen between
himself and Ignatz Mankowski relative
to the report of the auditors who in
vestigated the books of .the West
Hammond village officials.
The statement is as follows and ex-
plains itself:
West Hammond, Ill. July 2s, 1910.
Editor, TINES
Regarding the article in THE TIMES
Of July 21st relative to the report of
the accountant engaged to make a re-
port of the village records, 1 must
say that 1 was deeply surprised and
regret to think that such detestable.
underhand methods should be resort
ed to by Ignatz Manikowski or his CO.
horts.
This report has been in the hands
OF Manikowski and the finance com
mittee since about the 1st day of July
and had been peddled around among
their friends on the south side and not
submitted to the board until July 14th,
when 1t was read at the regular board
meeting The finance committee en-
deavored to have it accepted and ap-
proved. but on the advise of the village
attorney, who advised the board that
the report was too vague and meaning
less and but waste of the taxpayers
money, the board refused to accept it.
1T was apparent from the start that
the whole thing was nothing but a
political frame up, engineered for the

the other boys with songs. and they
