An investigation is | being made, he said, and a full report “If there is any | criticism of the charlty department it will probably be, as far as I can learn, because the department did not go again before the finance committee to | scek more money when it was needed to complete the work of the town farm barn.” Alderman O. F. Curtis. in demand- ing a detailed account and explanation from the charity department, made | some assertions, backed up by figures, which might indiacte a lack of proper management, This morning Mayor Quigley stated that he had taken this matter up with | Chairman Frank Riley of the charity | department and feels sure that any overdraft in the payment of the town farm barn bill is not due to waste or extravagance, but rather to tne ab- normal conditions and the sudden materials.
