The Subtreasury Shortage.
Baltimore Evening Sun of April LIST.

Baltimore Evening Sun of April lst.
Investigations made by Government
Secret Service men have as yet failed to
uncover how or when the shortage Of
$4,000 in the Baltimore Subtreasury &C.
Cured, it was learned here today.
The Secret Service agents have given
several tentative reports to Treasury Off
Gals on the investigations made by them,
but these reports have not been made
public, and il is the opinion now that the
Treasury will not make a formal report un-
til called upon by Congress.
From the reports made by the Secret
Service men, it was learned, support is
given for the theory that the shortage
may have resulted several months ago
and even more than a year ago. II was
also learned that it may never be estab-
lished just when or how the shortage &C.
cured. And il was also learned that the
Treasury officials do not regard the short
age as any reflection upon Robert G. Hill
ton, assistant treasurer in charge of the
Baltimore Subtreasury. or his assistants.
Treasury officials maintain that the short
age cannot be regarded as reflection upon
Mr.. Hilton or his assistants. 1t was pointed
out again today that it was somewhat re-
markable that shortages had only been
discovered in two cities when the sub
treasures were abolished. The two cities
we're Boston and Baltimore.
With the conditions prevailing during
the last four or five years, because of the
war. the necessity Of making repeated
changes in the personnel at the subtreasu-
ries and the fact that such large sums Of
money were handled the Treasury. officials
agree that there is reason to be thankful
that the shortage was not larger and that
shortages were not discovered in other
cities.
II was also suggested at the Treasury
that it is barely possible the shortage may
be accounted for later through auditing Of
the accounts of the banks which dealt
with the subtreasury. 1t might be estab-
lished that an overpayment had resulted
and this error when corrected would re-
lieve the suggestion of a shortage. AL
though this theory was not explained
further. it was offered by those who have
had long experience with such matters.

Forty-Five Bidders For Contracts.

Chairman Mackall, Of the State Roads
Commission. Monday opened bids for the
construction OF several pieces of road in
various parts Of the State, and found that
contracts for State road construction were
much in demand. There we're as bidders
for eight contracts.
Not only was the number Of bidders
larger than had been expected. but 1t was
found that for the first time in several
years the low bidders and some others
were under the cost OF construction as es-
limated by the commissions engineers.
This is taken to mean the contractors expect
further drop in the cost Of materials and
labor or that they have cut their overhead
expenses TO a minimum and are willing to
get along on smaller profits.
