PUBLIC FUNDS USED
RECKLEssLY IN TOLEDO
PayroIIs Padded, Developments Made
and Other Juggling Found
BY Examiners.

TOLEDO. March 4.-Oficeholder
were reckless with Toledo funds, ac-
cording to the report OF three state
examiners, who have been at work
nearly three years. The report was
made public yesterday. The total OF
findings for recovery by the prosecut-
Ing attorney is $500, 5O6.60 from Jan.
1, 1906. To No /, 1909.
Use OF fictitious names on city pay
rolls, padding, over-payment OF police
and fremen and paying for things
over and over again are among the
charges made. Members OF the park
commission. city auditor. solicitor and
two clerks Of council are among these
against whom findings were returned.
The greater part OF the sum due
the city Is accounted for In a trans
fer OF funds. There was paid into the
city treasury s492,15414 by the Toledo
Railway & Light Co. This sum, In
stead OF going into the sinking fund,
as prescribed by law, was used for
current expenses. II was distributed
In various funds. BY this means. the
tax levy for expenses was kept low,
while the sinking fund levy scared.
From individuals there Is held due the
city In cash $13.442.52.
Against two clerks of the council
the reported findings of more than
$4,000. Books OF the former board OF
public service and park board, the re-
port states, show pay roll padding OF
$3,e86 and 1854, respectively. cimilar
fraud, 1t Is charged, was perpetrated
In the street cleaning and garbage de-
partments.
Illegal payments amounting to $685.
381.55 are reported. Most of these,
the report states, were made in eva
sion Of the law providing that no con-
tract for more than $500 can be let
without competitive bidding. Postage,
pencils and stationery were bought
to the extent of $4,468.76, FAR In ex-
cess OF the amount necessary" the
report declares. Money expended for
car care by city employees is given at
$4,709.13. which Is held excessive.
Toledo city councilmen take excep-
ton to expense bills OF the examiners
$4,000 for hotel and eating
accounts.
