The city au thorities were astounded today when City Comptroller Robblns "confessed" that the had been holding out city revenues for eight years and now has $100,000 In the bank to the credit of the city. No one knew his secret but the mayors who had served during that time. Robblns said he knew the aldermen would spend the money If they had It. so he undertook to save the munici pality a certain amount for a rainy day. . The aldermen are furious, as they recently floated a bond Issue of $125, 000 for city water works. Kobblns withheld the money coming to the city each year from the road fund, and none of the aldermen knew the city got a revenue from that source.
