Fraud in the Street-Cleaning Depart- ment received another airing to-day at the meeting of the Bcan of Aldermen. The special committee appointed to in- been going around like Diogenes to find la man who would act as counsel, evidently had not succeeded unless they could show that particular man that there was a good fee In aight. For that reason the committee entered the Beard of Aldermen with a resolu- tlon asking for am appropriation of $25,000 to conduct the Investigntion. The intention was to give the lion's share of the $25,000 to counsel. To the general surprise, “Little Tim" Sullivan spoke in favor of It. He sald there was an apparent demand for the investigation, although he did not think that any department of the city during the past two years needed any invest!- gation. But. he sald, “the Mayor wants this investigation and Commissioner | Sith Woodbury also wants it, largely, I pre- sume, on account of public clamor.
