report on the sanitary conditions of the
public schools made by the Bureau of
Health.
Mr.. Cassell added that to meet the
complaints enumerated In the forty four
buildings rated as bad and poor, except
those that are to be vacated. would cost
about $2,000,000. In most of the
buildings the expenditure is not war

raid the Brindlc shortage would be
made good.
When Lewis succeeded Snyder as
Auditor General, one Of his first acts
was to clean out number OF employees
who were considered unnecessary.
Among these was Brindel. When
Brindel was dropped by the new Audi
tor General, Snyder, who had moved
across the corridor in the Capitol to the
Treasurer office, Immediately placed
him on the payroll.
Brindell Confessed
Later on, Auditor General Lewis, in
the course of an investigation, discov-
cred Brindel was short in his accounts.
He was arrested, and, according to ad-
vices from Harrisburg, confessed to
cmbezzing $1,000. Snyder, IL appears,
made an effort to smother the charges
and offered to make good the short
age. He was averse, II is said, to Civ
ing any publicity TO the case, on the
ground that it would result in no good.
The Brindel case came to public no.

when the question was brought up.
THAT was nothing. But II appeared

The sensational revelations as to the
half million dollar defalcations were
made following an inquiry of the State
Treasurer regarding the charge OF
Joseph X. Grundy and his associates,
of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers
Association, that "the people of Penn
sylvania had been handed gold brick
by the last Legislature. They allude
to the alleged deficit between the ap-
propriations and the estimated revenues
for the next two years.
State Treasurer Snyder. in n formal
reply recently published. denied that
any such shortage existed and. while
admitting that there were $1,000 900 of
bills payable which the Stnte could not
meet on account of Temporary financial
embarrassment" said everything would

SCHOOL BUILDINGS
TO COST MILLIONS
catharine Tells Other Board
Members $4,000, 1000 a Year
Must Be Spent
BIDS SHOW DROP IN COSTS

Philadelphia must spend $4,000, 900
yearly OH schools if II is to meet the
demand created for educational facili.
ties by the rapidly growing number OF
pupils.
Joseph w. Catharine, member OF
the Board Of Education, forecast pro-
gram requiring that expenditure at
meeting yesterday to open bids for sew
eral new buildings. He asserted
great building program must be opened
to make up for the cessation during the
war.
Mr.. Catharine stands for an enlarged
school plant to meet the increasing
population and to make up for the
discarding Of old buildings. He said
the outlook was hopeful because Of the
reduced cost.
Bids opened yesterday showed drop
OF 20 per cent from building prices Of
the spring and fall Of nearly 100 per
cent from immediate post war prices.
The lowest bid for the new Rutledge
School, ut Seventh and Norris streets,
was made by Wark & Co.-S3T2, ,374.
The building will contain thirty two
classrooms and an assembly hall. That
bid means n cost of about thirty-two
cents a cubic foot, ms against thirty
nine cents n cubic foot made in the
spring for the Kcarney School. Also it
places the cost at $4,000 a classroom.
while immediate post war prices forced
the board to pay $4,000 a classroom
for the two new junior high schools.
J. c. McCloskey was the low bidder,
at S100.979, for the addition to the
Martin School, at Richmond and On
tario streets. The awards will be
made at the next meeting Of the board.

Snyder Tells Of EmbezzIements
OF State Officials Later
- Made Good
BRlNDELL CASE CITED

Embezzlement Of half million dol
lars from State funds by public officials
without single arrest because the
borrowed" money was returned, was
an admission made yesterday by State
Treasurer Charles A. Snyder at the
Bellevue -Stratford.
The shortages occurred and were dis
covered during his term of Office as
Auditor General. Last spring he gave
up this position and took thnt of State
Treasurer.
In justification Of the failure to bring
prosecutions of the officials who were
short in accounts, the State Treasurer
argued it would do no good to put the
men in Jail after they had made their
accounts good.

have prosecuted as well as defended all
kinds of law breakers. In such cases.
with the shortages made good. l can
see nothing to be accomplished by pros
ecutions There would be needless pain
given to innocent people and no good
purpose would be served.
"Whv. IN nv term as Auditor Cen
eral we had many cases OF clbcz-
element Ore case Of 500 900. another
of $50 900 and so on. Altogether per-
haps they reached S500O 900. But this
money was paid back TO the State ana
nobody suffered.
Snyder's Theory
Under the Snyder theory of manage
ment, it appears to be perfectly proper
for a State official to cart away bar
rel or so Of public money. use it for
q time to his own benefit, and then
make return. IL the atmosphere be-
gins to get wrrm.
The declarations about these short..
eges was made during a discussion OF
the case Of Charles Brindlc. who was
recently arrested for alleged n.isappro-
priation Of funds while he held po-
sition in the Auditor Generals office:
The State Treasurer told Of bis thirty
years experience in public office. and in
contrast referred to the comparative
incxparience as an Office holder of Au-
ditor General Samuel S. Lewis. whose
expert accountants uncovered the al
legged Brinde shortage.
The State Treasurer disclaimed re-
sponsibility for the report that he had

and liabilities can be presented to the
courts. The assets, Il Is said, exceed
$500, 900. but the approximate amount
Of liabilities is unknown.
Governors of the Philadelphia Stock
Exchange met yesterday and, while no
official announcement was made, 1t was
learned that further discussion of the
Chandler failure occupied the meeting.
