THEY WANT TO GET ALL THE
CONTRACTS.
They want q Mayor who will appoint
their favorites as heads OF departments.
And then they will get the contracts for
Everything. All sorts Of swindlins spec-
ifcations will be given out. and unbai-
anced bids will be called for. and the
favored contractor will get the tip how
to bid and what will be expected Of
him. And then when he gets the con-
tract no has . commissioner to deal
with who 10 In his favor. And then
that commissioner appoints engineers to
pass upon and certify the work and In
spectors 20 receive the goods. and so on.
I'm that way the contractor has every
thing in his favor. including the COM
missioner and the engineers and inspec-
tors. The engineers will pass all sorts
Of skimped and fraudulent work. 1t will
look all right on the outside but be hol-
low ana rotten within. And the inspec-
tors will pass third-class articles for
hrst-class articles. They will pass things
