12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13. 119. rTREASURY IS LEAKING Mil KASTE MS Attorney-Plaintiff Is Bent on i Full Disclosure. GRAND JURY TO HEAR ALL Employes In Practically Every I)e ; partment Said to Be Taking Ad vantage of the County. '. "The county treasury is leaking like a sieve and even though some volun tary repairs may be made before I can get all the data together. I intend to present the results of my investigation to the next session of the grand jury and demand a probe into the use of county property by county officials and employes, which is costing the public thousands of dollars," announced John "fV. Kaste, a local attorney who has worn to expose abuses of privilege ty county office-holders, yesterday. "Employes In virtually every depart ment of the county government ar-e taking advantage of county credit and ability to buy in large Quantities, to secure supplies for themselves at much less cost than they would pay outside." Jve continued. "Sometimes they take the material they desire and say nothing about it. Occasionally they pay the county price, which usually lias an attractive discount. . Graft In Paints Alleged. "The graft in paints and building supplies is particularly heavy. I have evidenoe of one instance where a , painter employed by the county finished a job and took several gallons of left over paint home with him to use later on his own house. Commissioner Hol man bought white load from the county at a price about $3 less than he would have paid in the open market, and the same amount less than the county probably would have to pay for a new supply. "County commissioners and employes ane not the only ones who should be investigated. I also shall demand that the grand jury look into school board affairs before any whitewashing is done. I want the opinion of the grand jury on the expenditure of $10,000 by the school board to advertise its recent pond issue and the payment of $514 out f school funds for the eastern trip of School Director Thomas." Mr. Kaste was asked what he jex pected the grand jurors to do. Crnxure, and More, Expected. "I expect them to censure offending Officers of the county and to instruct the district attorney to bring actions to recover losses through improper use of county funds and property," he re plied. "And if the grand Jury finds that certain public officials have been abusing the privileges of their offices, theirearly resignation is expected by taxpa'yers." Referring to the use of a county truck by Mr. Holman in hauling ma terials for his country home in Clacka mas county, Mr. Kaste said: "A signi ficant feature of thr! affair, which anight be overlooked, is that Mr. Hol man did not reimburse the county for the use on June 21 of the truck until July 24. more than a month later, and after agitation had begun about his appropriation of county tires and gaso ir for his private automobile. He then rushed to cover up his truck trans action. He paid $12 to the county for the use of the truck njne hours. The rental rate of county or state high way commission trucks to outsiders is $3.f0 an hour, though that includes a driver and helper." Mr. Muclc AIho Involved. Multnomah county paid for the auto mobile, the tires and gasoline used by Commissioner Muck on a six-day vaca tion trip into eastern Oregon, com pleted August S. said Mr. Kaste. In fact, he asserted that it was the in dignation of the other county commis sioners, Messrs. Hoyt and Holman, on lir. Muck's return, which caused the car to be turned over to Roadmaster Katchel instead of being left for the V&e of Mr. Muck. The commissioner left July 30 and returned August 5 from his extended trip. He used the automobile which was purchased by the county in 1918 for $1450, assigned to the use of Judge Tazwell. wrecked while being driven by the Jurist, May 24. 1919. repaired at a cost of $510 after $47S had been re fused for tlve wreckage, and then placed at the disposal of Mr. Muck. Mr. Muck justified his action by Baying that he inspected paving and roadwork in eastern Oregon during his trip, which was, he said, his first vaca tion in three years' service "as com missioner. Itond Inspection Questioned. "But the car was used on a vacation trip, in which it is safe to say very little road inspecting was done, and the taxpayers footed the bill as usual," commented Mr. Kaste. The injunction proceedings instituted by Mr. Kaste against the county clerk to prevent paying out warrants for 3:2 in satisfaction of bills contracted by the county commissioners for gaso line and oil used in their private auto mobiles, is set for hearing before Judge &avanaugh this morning.

UNUSUAL VALUES Make Cherry Credit Doubly Interesting CHERRY CHAT The convenient terms upon which one may buy at Cher ry's are not alone responsible for the great popularity or this store among both men and women.

In this store the woman purchased mer chandise to the value of $144.32 and raid for it with a check, which she signed "Mrs. Frank Evans, 1025 Beek cr street, city." It was drawn on the Bank of California. Her purchases in cluded three men's shirts and ties to taling 157.15 in value, a petticoat valued at 517.50. and a quantity of expensive underwear. M. Jacoby, jeweler at 326 Washington street, became suspicious when . this same woman wrote a check for $250 to pay for two diamonds which she had selected. When he objected to tak ing the check without some identifica tion of the purchaser, the woman re plied. "Oh, very well. Take the check to the bank and cash it, and I will call for the diamonds later." She left the chock in his hands, but did not return for her diamonds. At Llpman, Wolfe & Co.'s store she ueed another worthless check to pay for a $65 suit. Other stores were re ported similarly victimized. The Bank of California has no record of a Mrs. Frank Evans.
