FRAUD
SNOW REMOVAL.
F0SD|CK REPORTS
Warrant Out for Street Clean
ing Foreman Who Quit
as Inquiry Began.

More snow removal frauds have been
unearthed this winter in spite Of elab-
crate precautions taken to prevent
them. The loss by fraud this year IL
placed at about $4,000.
The frauds were unesrthed by Com
missioner Of Accounts Fosdick. who
has obtained a warrant for the arres.
OF a man who was employed as
q foreman In the Street Cleaning De-
partment. He resigned three weeks
ago. The a has been In hii,r. since
Commissioned Fosdick began his In
vestigation. but 1t is expected he will
be arrested within a few days.
1t was thought by Street Cleaning
Commissioners Edwards and Commits
sioner Fosdick that a system of check
Ing had been devised that would make
impossible such frauds as have been
perpctrated almost every winter for
many years. A triplicate system OF
cards. which had to be punched by two
different foremcn. and a certificate
from the Bureau of Weights and
Measures of the same numerical series
an the cards had to be presented In
due form before accounts for snow re-
moval were audited.
FORGERY HELPED TO BEAT IN,
TRicATE SYSTEM.
The driver Of a dump cart vas fur.
nished with a book containing nifty OF
these cards In triplicate. When his
cart was filled a card was punched by
a loading foreman. 1t was again
punched when ne arrived at the dung
by a dump foreman. The original card
was then forwarded to the Bureau oil
Snow Removal Of the Street Cleaning
Department. tho driver turning the du'
plicate In to the contractor n gettink
his pay according to the amount OF
snow the cards indicated he had re-
moved. the number Of loads being null
tiplied by the capacity az the cart al
certified by the Bureau Of Weights ant
Measures.
These cards and certificates were care
fully guarded, but. according to tn
findings OF Commissioner Fosdick. tn
man for whom the warrant has beel
issued succeeded In obtaining . con
siderable supply of them. 1t 10 know
that he bought a book Of the certificates
issued by the Bureau Of Weights AM
Measures for SIS from q clerk In tn
bureau. who. Commissioner Fosdick be
iieves. was miAed as to the purpose 70
which II was to be used. Where tn,
books of snow removal tickets were oh
tanned has not yet been learned.
The frauds were then worked throug'
c~onfederates, who cashed In the tickets
accompanied by forged certificates Of tn
Bureau Of Weights and Measures
One certificate would cover q larg
number of tickets supposed to hav
been punched for the driver OF . car
Commissioner Fosdick learned Of tn
frauds a week ago through . maj
whose identity Is not disclosed.

Many OF the locomotives and cars
will be useful in operating the canal
and the Panama railroad, but most OF
the dredges, steam shovels and noun

put on the block for sale.
Secretary Of the Interior Fisher has
suggested the plan of transferring
much of the discarded machinery to
Alaska for use in constructing gov.
