taking the order to the Ungrodt
store he proceeded to give tile
city credit for the same when
he discovered that the firm had
been overpaid. Returning to
the office of the city clerk he
learned that the Fluck bill for
1890 had been included and
for this he says he issued a B..
Ungrodt check payable to Mr..
Fluck for the difference.
Order No. 1857 was drawn by
B. Ungrodt for himself and a.
gain he says the discovery was
made that he had been overpaid.
A personal check was again
issued to George sF'luck for the
difference of the amount.
These bills remained the same
as when presented by Mr.. Un-
grodt up until the time they
were turned over by the City
Clerk to the Finance Committee
for their O. K. so that it is ap-
parent that some member of
this com mittee must have added
the additional sheets.
Both of these bills have the
%. K. of the finance committee
George Fluck, chairman. Hans
Amply and Andrew Peterson.
This com mittee must have
known that the bills were not
right for it is apparent to any
one looking them over, yet they
placed them before the council
as being bills ior the firm of B.
Ungrodt and the council, with
out making any further lnvesti-
CATION, innocently voted in favor
of their passage, the one of
March 9th not even being

started.
1t was the duty Of the Mayor,
as one Of the officers signing the
city orders, to investigate these
claims to see that they were
properly certified to, before af.
fixing his signature to the or
der.
| Without commenting further,
it may be well to add that Mr..
Fluck, who is a mem Der of the
City Council and a member of
the Finance Committee, and who
has sold goods and done work
for the city contrary to law,
should in his attempt to cover
up the transaction, attach his
bills to those aof Mr.. Ungrodt.
And the most startling fact in
connection with the whole affair
is the fact that Mr., Fluck's bills
were attached to those of Mr..
Ungrodt, with out the latter's
knowledge or consent and after
the same had been filed.
Now getting back to the base
ment work we wish to again cal!
attention to the fact that the
building committee was given
no authority whatever for going
ahead with this work which has
cost more than $500 to complete.
Evidentally it was the intention
of the committee that the coun-
Gil should occupy this room as
meeting place as soon as it was
ready and that it should be used
as city clerks Office. At the
March meeting Alderman Amply
proposed that the council occupy
this room but the motion did not
receive a second and motion to
lay the matter over until the
next meeting was passed.
If this room is not to be used
what was the object in expend-
ing this amount in having it re-
paired? Surely the taxpayer will
want to know.

of three separate sheets OF
paper, the first being the bill
head Of the firm of B. Ungrodt,
with items thereon amounting
to 74.19 Attached to this was
a sheet of paper with
another bunch of items,
consisting of pipes, valves
etc, and labor totaling S40.9O.
From this last sheet it would be
hard to tell what separate items
cost as they were punched to-
gether with the labor added and
the total set out to one side.
The third sheet was the regular
city bill head attached to the
other two with the affidavit of
B. UngrodtIto the effect that the
foregoing account subscribed
by him was just and true and
was justly chargeable to the
city of Washburn and that no
part had been paid, and that the
same had never been acted up
on by the city council. The a.
mount on this last sheet had
originally been put down at $74.
10 but to this $48.9O had been
added and the two amounts
totaled, on the fling side, the a.
mount being crossed out and
$4,000 had been substituted.
This bill is No. 81, dated Jan. 20
1918, on file in the Office of the
city clerk.
The second bill consisted Of
three separate sheets of paper,
the first being bill head of the

with items set down to the a
mount of $4,000 for water closet
and bowl in Bank sof Washburn

a bill head of B. Ungrodt with
items set down to the amount of
$33.35. The third sheet was the
regular city blank with the aft.

correctness of his bill of $685.,
This is the Bill No. II on file in

acted readily in this gentle gloom. He
made quick circuit of the walls, and
found door, opened it, and saw

upward. He saw a big house above
the empty cow stable, built of massive
stone blocks, and narrowly Widowed.
None of the windows was glazed, and
most were in darkness. ~
But three were lighted, and from one
of these came voices. He thrilled 10

voices reached him-and with 1t Il

without any acceleration to MS heart
