a copy of the building bill upon
which a doien amendmenta had
been pinned all for the purpose of
referring back and delay In com

and that would Indicate "politics,"
Ihe Judge lamented. The bill In Its
original form made a lump appro

buildings and under that form Klam

good, the judge was led to believe,
from his correspondence with Sen

The mayor, with the consent
of the commission, may also
investigate accounts of any
department or employee and
the official acts of any official
or employee of the city, and
he is given the power to com
pel the attendance of wit
nesses and examine them un
der such circumstances. The
mayor is also empowered to
call extra sessions of the com'
mission, for which extra ses
sions, by the way,' the mem
