ASSAILS LAMBERTVILLE'S
EXTRAVAGANZA
My dear Editor:
WHAT NEXT?

MY dedf CuilOF.
WHAT NEXT?
AT star chamber session of the
City Commissioners, held October
End of which the public was not adj
vised, the commissioners ordered
the purchase of 1000 feet of hose
at cost of S485 more than the
Empire hose was offered for.
After the expose in the columns
of your paper last week, few citizens
would have believed that the COM
missioners would have had the nerve
to pull off such questionable Ito
say the least) deal.
This deal was put through by
ordering 500 feet of Eureka and
500 feet of Bi-Lateral hose, both
of which were quoted at more than
40c. per foot higher than the En-
pire hose. At previous session
of the commissioners like propo-
sition was declared out of order on
the ground that bids had been asked
for 1000 feet of hose. Therefore,
the order could not be split without
advertising for new bids.
Commissioners Moonan and Muir
held backed up by the Fire Engin-
GERS We're, however, not to be thus
easily thwarted in their efforts to
purchase hose that would cost the
taxpayers S4S5 more than the En-
pire hose. During the interval be-
tween this meeting and the star
chamber" session, someone found
out that the advertisement for bids
read for 1000 feet more or less. y
Upon this flimsy technicality the
commissioners wilfully threw away
S4S5 of the taxpayers money. This
is said advisedly For neither the
commissioners or the Fire Engin-
GERS made the slightest effort to
ascertain whether OF not the Empire
hose would meet the requirements
of our fire department.
In fact. they wilfully refused to
make any Investigation If an in
vestigation had been made, and it
had been found that the Empire
hose was not equal to the demands
to be made upon it, taxpayers would
not say word. But to pay this
excess of S4S5 for 1000 feet of
hose-speaking as generously as
possible of the transaction-cons
tutes plain MISAPPROPRIATION
OF THE TAXPAYERS MONEY.
This becomes question of vital
interest to the TAXPAYERS OF
LAMBERTvILLE.
This criticism of the commission
ers is not intended to include Com
missioner Malloy. He stood out
against this monstrous misappro-
priation (to characterize the trans
action in the gentlest term to which
it is entitled) of S4S5 of the TAX
PAYERS MONEY to the very last.
Commissioner Malloy knew that to
support this transaction without MA
king any investigation of the merits
of the Empire hose would be in
violation of his oath of office. And
he refused to VIOLATE HIS OATH.
If Commissioner Malloy felt that
to vote for this excess S4S5 would
be violation of his oath, what
are citizens and taxpayers to think
of those commissioners who did vote
for it?

Although it was not incorporated
in the above minutes, John Schenck
appeared before the Commissioners
with a plea TO have the city act on

meeting asking for the continuation

ceived by the Commissioners, bear
ing the names of SO interested par
ties, the Commissioners were to Wis

The Industrial situation is aptly

New buying is still on the re
stricted scale of recent weeks, but

very rare exceptions are taking ma

Applying this to Alabama some
outstanding facts are these:
The wire drawing mills are from
eight to twelve weeks behind in de-
liveries of sevral kinds of mate
rails. notably nails. Some mills are
not promising deliveries of nails
under twelve weeks.
Iron stocks on furnace yards are
at record low, the meters not only
