We wish that every union member and every legislator in the United States could read the report of the Orange County (New York) Grand Jury which recently concluded an investigation of rackets in con- | nection with the Delaware River water supply project The grand jury found extravagance, waste, theft, extortion, forgery and bossism that are a shockingl disgrace to the country.
