OUST THE COUNTY DOARD, To the Editor of The Chicacu T'ribuna: Cittcano, May 3.—1If ever thero was & body of oftielals which could not be trusted it is tho Board of Cook Couuty Commissloners.

Probably oact one of the efght corrupt Com- missioners makes on an average out of franda- lent contracts (rom 10,000 to $20,000 a year. No wondor they are willing and eager, for the small legal salary sllowed, to give all of thoir tiwe and sorvices to connty affairs. Entoring oftica poor, several of tho Commiesionors have becomo wealthy, aud support oostly establisbe moutd. How long is this corruption to go on ? Muat tho poople wait till fall before it cau be stopped, and the corrupt membors oasted? ‘The offer Ji of rewards for evidencs or immunity to any of the cuntragtors to tum Htnto's ovidence might onuse tho Ring to break, and reveal the corruptionists fur pumshmeont.
