Alderman Moore's proposed ordinance to

time to time have been taken by members of
Council or of city administrative boards at
the expense of persons interested in city con-
tracts announces "A correct principle-the

more than the fact that bank makes the
practice OF periodically shifting its clerks at

definite suspicion against any officer or en-
ployee. The rule in all great enterprises is
/ to- get along with AS little trust of anybody
as possible. There must be trust and faith in
any business, But trust and faith some
times betrayed, and it is loose policy to invite
betrayal, however indirectly
